Product SKU: DH-KF1356-B
Product Overview
The Dahua DH-KF1356-B is a compact MIFARE access-control key fob operating at 13.56 MHz. It is designed to provide authorised users with a convenient contactless credential for compatible access-control readers and management systems. The fob can be attached to a keyring and presented to a supported reader at doors, gates, car parks or other controlled entry points, reducing the need to carry a full-size access card. It is suitable for residential complexes, offices, commercial buildings, staff areas and parking facilities where individual credentials need to be assigned and managed through an access-control platform. The DH-KF1356-B should only be selected after confirming that the intended reader supports the relevant MIFARE credential technology. A matching 13.56 MHz frequency alone does not guarantee compatibility with every reader or controller.
Key Capabilities
13.56 MHz MIFARE Credential
The fob operates at 13.56 MHz and is intended for compatible MIFARE access-control readers. It provides a compact alternative to carrying a full-size contactless access card.
Convenient Keyring Format
The key-fob format is easy for residents, staff members and regular users to carry with their everyday keys, helping reduce forgotten or misplaced access cards.
Individual User Assignment
Each fob can be enrolled and assigned through a compatible access-control system, allowing administrators to manage permissions for individual users according to the system’s supported functions.
Multiple Access Applications
The credential format can be used in supported access-management, car-parking, transport, toll-collection and loyalty applications where compatible MIFARE reader infrastructure is installed.
Best For
- Office Access: Provides staff with a compact credential for compatible controlled doors and restricted workplace areas.
- Apartment Buildings: Suitable for resident access at compatible foyer doors, gates and shared facilities.
- Car Parks: Can be enrolled for supported vehicle-entry systems using compatible MIFARE readers.
- Commercial Properties: Useful for assigning credentials to employees, contractors and authorised regular visitors.
- Replacement Credentials: A practical option when adding users to an existing system confirmed to support the relevant MIFARE technology.
Why Choose the DH-KF1356-B
The DH-KF1356-B offers a convenient alternative to a full-size access card for users who prefer to keep their credential attached to a keyring. Its 13.56 MHz MIFARE format suits compatible access-control systems used at doors, gates, parking areas and shared facilities. The fob can be assigned to an individual user, allowing permissions to be managed through the connected access-control platform and removed when the credential is lost or no longer required. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is best selected as an additional or replacement credential for a system whose reader technology has already been confirmed. Buyers should not rely on operating frequency alone, because different 13.56 MHz credential standards and reader configurations are not automatically interchangeable.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm that the intended reader explicitly supports the relevant MIFARE credential technology. A reader operating at 13.56 MHz may use a different card standard and may not recognise this fob.
Buyer Tip: Check how new credentials are enrolled before ordering. Some systems allow administrator enrolment through software, while others may require a master credential, local reader programming or installer access.

Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: The access-control reader supports the relevant 13.56 MHz MIFARE credential technology and users prefer a key-fob format.
- Choose a card credential if: Users need a larger credential that can also display printed identification or company branding.
- Choose a different credential if: The installed reader uses another frequency, credential standard or encrypted card technology.
- Confirm compatibility first if: The fob is being purchased for an existing third-party reader or an older access-control system.
FAQs
- What is the Dahua DH-KF1356-B used for?
The DH-KF1356-B is a MIFARE access-control key fob designed to present a 13.56 MHz credential to a compatible reader. It can be assigned to an authorised user and used for controlled entry where the connected access system supports the same card technology and frequency. The reader, controller and management platform must all be checked for compatibility before enrolment.
- What frequency does the DH-KF1356-B use?
The DH-KF1356-B operates at 13.56 MHz. This frequency is used by MIFARE contactless credentials, but frequency alone does not guarantee compatibility with every reader. Confirm that the intended access-control reader explicitly supports the relevant MIFARE credential type before ordering or enrolling the fob.
- Does the DH-KF1356-B need a battery?
No battery requirement is stated for the DH-KF1356-B. It is presented as an IC MIFARE key fob for use with a compatible 13.56 MHz reader. Access permissions are controlled by the connected access-control system, so the fob must be enrolled and assigned correctly before it can be used for authorised entry.
- Can the DH-KF1356-B be used for car parks or gated access?
Yes, the supplied product information lists car parking and access management among its intended applications. The fob can be used where a compatible MIFARE reader is installed at the entry point. The complete system design still needs a suitable reader, controller, locking or gate hardware and correctly configured user permissions.
- Is the DH-KF1356-B compatible with every 13.56 MHz reader?
No. A matching 13.56 MHz operating frequency does not by itself confirm full compatibility. The reader must support the relevant MIFARE credential technology and the access-control system must be able to enrol and manage the fob. Check the reader and controller specifications before purchasing credentials for an existing system.
- What should be checked before buying the DH-KF1356-B?
Confirm the reader brand and model, supported credential technology, operating frequency, enrolment method and required quantity before ordering. The DH-KF1356-B is available through Security Wholesalers for compatible access-control systems, but it should not be assumed to work with every 13.56 MHz reader solely because the frequency matches.
