So I got a pair of HID Readers today, MiniProx’s I expected them to be smaller but oh well, they work nice… I mounted one up for the garage door outside properly, and used a terminal block to make the connections because it only has a 18″ pigtail. I used STP Cat5 because honeywell/northern computers recommends sheilded cable, and STP Cat5 was lying around on a workbench…

Works flipping awesome, ProxCard II reads at about 6″ so I was impressed. I have the extra reader for the front door whenever I get more adventurous…
