A complete guide to adding, deleting, and managing RFID cards on your FARHD 2-wire video door phone system—featuring a 10-inch indoor monitor and an outdoor call panel with built-in card reader. Whether you are a property manager, installer, or homeowner, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Card-based access is one of the most convenient and secure ways to manage entry in modern buildings. Instead of fumbling for keys or sharing PIN codes, residents simply tap a registered card to unlock the door. But behind that simple tap is a management system that needs to be set up correctly—and maintained over time.

The FARHD 2-wire video door phone system pairs a 10-inch IPS touchscreen indoor monitor with a weatherproof outdoor call panel that includes a built-in RFID/IC card reader. Together, they deliver clear video, two-way audio, and flexible access control. This guide walks you through card management step by step.

System Components: 10″ Indoor Monitor & Outdoor Call Panel

Before diving into card management, let’s review the two key components involved.

10-Inch Indoor Monitor

The indoor monitor is the command center for card management. Key features include:

• 10.1-inch IPS touchscreen with 1280×800 resolution
• Linux operating system for stability and security
• Card management menu for adding, deleting, and querying cards
• MicroSD card slot for local recording (up to 128GB)
• Multi-language interface for global projects
• Wall-mounted design with sleek, modern aesthetics

The large screen makes it easy to navigate menus, view card lists, and manage permissions—even for users who are not tech-savvy.

Outdoor Call Panel with Card Reader

The outdoor call panel is where residents present their cards. Key features include:

• Built-in RFID/IC card reader (13.56MHz IC and/or 125kHz ID)
• 1080P HD camera with wide-angle lens and infrared night vision
• Audio bidireccional con cancelación de eco
• IP65 weatherproof rating for outdoor durability
• Relay output for electric lock control
• Botón de llamada for visitor initiation

When a registered card is presented, the reader verifies it and triggers the relay to unlock the door.

How to Add a Card

Adding a card to the system is straightforward. Follow these steps.

Method 1: Via the 10″ Indoor Monitor Menu

1. Access the settings menu – From the main interface, tap the settings icon.
2. Select “Card Management” – This option may also be labelled “Access Control” or “RFID Management.”
3. Enter the admin password – The factory default is typically 666666. Change this after first login for security.
4. Tap “Add Card” – The system enters card-swiping mode.
5. Present the new card – Hold the card near the reader on the outdoor call panel. The system will confirm registration with a beep or on-screen message.
6. Return to the card list – Verify that the new card appears in the list.

Method 2: Using a Master Card (If Supported)

Some systems include dedicated Master Cards for quick on-site management.

1. Present the “ADD” Master Card to the outdoor reader. The system enters addition mode.
2. Present each new card you wish to add, one by one.
3. Present the Master Card again to exit addition mode.

This method is faster when adding multiple cards at once.

How to Delete a Card

Deleting a card removes its access permissions immediately. This is essential when a resident moves out or a card is lost.

Method 1: Via the 10″ Indoor Monitor Menu

1. Access “Card Management” (admin password required).
2. Select “Delete Card” – The system enters card-swiping mode.
3. Present the card to be deleted – The system confirms deletion.
4. Return to the card list – Verify the card no longer appears.

Method 2: Using a Master Card

1. Present the “DELETE” Master Card to the outdoor reader.
2. Present each card to be deleted.
3. Present the Master Card again to exit deletion mode.

Deleting All Cards (Factory Reset)

Some systems support bulk deletion. This is useful when repurposing a device.

1. Present the “DELETE” Master Card.
2. Present the “ADD” Master Card to initiate a format.
3. Present the “ADD” Master Card again within 3 seconds to confirm.

Warning: This action is irreversible. All registered cards will be removed.
