HID Seos Card Credential
HID Seos card number access made easy using SmartCardAPI.
- extracts card number (CN) and facility code (FC) according to card format
- returns raw bit string to extract a number of bits at any offset
- HID Seos card access via managed code
- SeosCardDemo sample code (Visual Studio project)
- supports Windows 10,11
- supports .NET framework 4.6.x and .NET 5.0,6.0,8.0
- tested with OMNIKEY and Elatec readers
No need to sift through HID Seos card and HID OMNIKEY SE card reader documentation. Nor do you need to look into PC/SC documentation of unmanaged code, write a winscard wrapper in C# or VB.NET etc.
By the time you are done a week of development time can easily be gone.
Thanks to CardWerk SmartCard API (Professional) edition reading the HID Seos Card Number is quite easy.
SmartCardAPI supports all HID OMNIKEY reader proprietary commands that are necessary to establish a secure channel between reader and host software. Sample code shows how to read 26-bit Wiegand data or any other standard HID access card format. Wiegand data is parsed according to known standard HID Wiegand card formats.
SmartCardAPI supports all HID OMNIKEY reader proprietary commands that are necessary to establish a secure channel between reader and host software.
All you need is SmartCard-API (Professional) and a few of lines of code read an HID access card number or facility code. This means that you can generate the same Wiegand data, card number and facility code on your desktop system as it is being used in the physical access control panel. Now you can do more with your HID iCLASS Seos card than opening doors.
SmartCard API provides you with easy-to-use methods to extract data items such as Facility Code and Card Number.
SmartCardAPI SDK contains a Visual Studio SeosCardDemo project. A few lines of code is all you need to read a PROX card number.
And in case you would like to see the library at work without any coding, download our ready-to-use PACS credential tester for Windows. PACSprobe is available at PACSprobe.com and is based on the same libraries used for SeosCardDemo. However, you don’t need to build the executable first. It is the ideal utility for a quick, free iCLASS card test just to see if your HID Seos card can be detected. The program calculates the Seos card number applying some known Wiegand encoding formats and supports Windows 10 and Windows 11.
