AI-generated summary
This is one of those “small” NetBotz accessories that’s only valuable if you’ve already invested in the APC ecosystem. The 10 HID proximity cards make sense when you’re rolling out access for multiple users across a NetBotz-controlled space and you want a simple, auditable way to control entry rather than relying on ad-hoc sharing. At £83.34 ex-VAT, it’s priced like a convenience item more than a bargain-bin bulk pack—so I’d call it fair *if* you’re going to use all (or most) of the cards and you’re tired of access admin becoming a hassle.
I wouldn’t buy it on its own “just in case.” If you don’t already have the compatible NetBotz access hardware/reader set up, you’ll be paying for something that won’t do much. Also, if your rollout is small (e.g., one badge user), the cost per card starts to feel steep—better to source the exact quantities you need. Bottom line: buy this if you’re expanding an existing NetBotz deployment and need legitimate, managed access for staff—otherwise, hold off and only purchase when you can actually plug it into your current setup.
