Smart credentials that a cloner cannot read off a badge in someone's back pocket. Each fob carries an Alarm.com-specific encryption key and is only readable by Alarm.com readers, so a credential that walks out of the building is not usable at another site, and a copied 125 kHz card is not usable at this one.

Built for the commercial installer

These are MIFARE DESFire EV3 credentials rated to EAL 5+ with 8 Kbytes of onboard memory, which is double the storage of the Alarm.com smart cards. That space holds access privileges and custom application data rather than just a badge number. LEAF support means the fob stays interoperable with other LEAF ecosystems instead of locking the site into one vendor forever.

The polycarbonate body reads at up to 3 inches, noticeably further than the 1 inch you get from the card format, which makes a real difference at a gate or a gloved-hands door. Rated -13F to 176F and made in the USA. Sold 25 to a pack.

Key features

  • Alarm.com-specific encryption key means the credential only reads on Alarm.com readers, so a lost fob is not a usable credential elsewhere
  • 8 Kbytes of memory, twice the Alarm.com smart card, for privileges and custom application data
  • Up to 3 inch read range, which beats the card format at gates and gloved-hands openings
  • LEAF enabled for interoperability rather than single-vendor lock-in
  • Rated -13F to 176F in a polycarbonate body that survives a keyring
  • Made in the USA, supplied 25 per pack

System requirements

Requires Alarm.com branded readers. This fob will not read on third-party hardware. If a site needs credentials that also work on third-party readers, specify the ADC-AC-CARD-50M4 Smart plus Proximity Card instead.

FAQs

Will these fobs work on third-party readers?
No. The ADC-AC-FOB-60L8 must be used with Alarm.com branded readers. If the site needs third-party reader compatibility, Alarm.com recommends the ADC-AC-CARD-50M4 Smart plus Proximity Card instead.
Is this the same part as the ADC-AC-FOB-60H8?
Yes. Alarm.com renamed the ADC-AC-FOB-60H8 to ADC-AC-FOB-60L8. If existing site documentation lists the 60H8, this is the current part number for it.
How does the fob compare to the Alarm.com smart cards?
The fob carries 8 Kbytes against 4 Kbytes on the cards, and reads up to 3 inches against roughly 1 inch. Both are MIFARE DESFire EV3 at EAL 5+ and both are LEAF enabled.
What does LEAF enabled mean for the customer?
LEAF is an interoperability standard for secure credentials. A LEAF enabled credential can be read across other LEAF ecosystems, so the site is not permanently tied to one manufacturer's credential stock.
Can these fobs be used outdoors?
They are rated for storage and operation from -13F to 176F (-25C to 80C) in a polycarbonate body, which covers normal exterior credential use in most climates.
