lekka video dude!! I've just gone into RFID sales and just got destroyed on a call.. All my training material is in abbreviations and not much description.., so this helps me a ton
Johann, I am so grateful that this video has helped you man. Truly am. I am looking to make some more videos soon as I get my studio back up and running. If you need any clarity on NFC Things. Let me know so I can put some contents together for others who might be asking similar questions! I hope you SMASH those RFID sales man!!!
I found this extremely helpful. I have an NFC tag I need to scan and the droid I have (Galaxy A03S) is supposed to have a reader. But I can't find it nor does it give me an option to use an app. Am I missing something here? I thought NFC readers were on new phones only but people keep telling me it's been around a while. What phone are you using? Are there cheap phone options that have this ability? Thank you in advance.
So if i wanted to duplicate an already existing nfc tag with some information written on it i can simply do it by tapping my phone and using the app you mentioned? Please help @Bren
I have an app in ionic framework IOS and android app in which we create nfc read and write function. In Android NFC read and write function will be work but in IOS read and write function will not be work.how can you help you bro
Bren, thank you for great video and detailed explanation! So you know by chance if there is a way to amplify the NFC chip slightly? So that my chip can be detected within a 1-2 meters of distance?
Hey there! Its quite difficult to be able to amplify this signal. The limited range of NFC is actually a security feature. The only way you could do this is by using a larger antenna and a module powerful enough to output to this antenna (They do exist) but even at the maximum, you would only realistically get 20-30cm out of it. If you're looking to do very far range with RFID, I suggest looking into UHF (Ultra-High Frequency) Tags. These are commonly used on livestock ear tags, warehousing and clothing stores, with a UHF Reader you could do up to 10 meters.
@@BrenMaartens for that kinda long-range should we have a special reader or can we still read those tags with our smartphones’ NFC abilities? If not what is the maximum range can we reach with general NFC modules with our daily phones? Can we increase this range with just changing the NFC tags type/frequency or It’s totally depends to reader? And thank you so much for this video👌🏻 It was really informative
@@premium2554 HI Kubilay! Unfortunately you will need a special UHF reader to read UHF tags as they work in a much higher frequency. Our phones are only limited to 13.56Mhz (NFC). That being said, since the antennas in our phones have a limited size, the range of the NFC transmission is limited to only a few cm from your phone. All tag types will respond with the same distance.
"All tag types will respond with the same distance"@@BrenMaartens simply not true at all. Bigger tags have a bigger read distance. I have no idea if you can beef-up a reader, but what you said about tags is wrong.
@@MrRedstonefreedom Hey man! you're actually correct. Generally speaking if the tag is bigger, the antenna is also bigger resulting in a further reading range. However it's most effective if the transmitter antenna is larger (in this case the phone) but yes, bigger tags are bigger antennae and therefore slightly better read distance
I don't know if it is possible, but maybe you know:. Suppose I create an application on my phone , and I want the app to check an RFID (or any other tag) to check any rfid Is it possible that the app checks this without momentary permission (so automaticcly check when reading an RFID, if it has anything todo with the app), or do you always need the users permission in that moment? I assume that if this is possible you give the app permission to check all RFIDs that are offered to the phone, which sounds unsafe, but also sounds kinda handy. Does anyone know what the permissions logic is on andriod/Ios systems?
Hi Josh! - I got them from a place in South Africa called Netram Technologies but they don't ship internationally. You may need to ask local shops that sell RFID in your country if they can order them for you
U can download nfc tools app from play store, write the data u want, and then u can lock them (u cant rewrite them anymore) or lock it with a password which allows u to unlock the tag if u want to rewrite it.
Yes, this is what I have done. You can get them in a small sticker. Once you write your data, you can lock the tag, which can't be rewritten. I used a website with my contact info that tracks when people click the link.
There are NFC/RFID writer applications that can encrypt the data, same as credit cards with RFID, this then can also be locked to writing without decryption. It could be brute force overwritten with decent difficulty with basic encyption, up to 256 and advanced encryption such as HID uses in some instances. If you're asking for convenience of reusing, yes, you can re-write over most of them.
Hey there! The Haptic feedback when transmission is complete is app based. Depending on which app you use, it will make use of Haptic Feedback. I recommend the apps I used in this video as they are the most user friendly to start with.
PLEASE HELP ME ANSWER THIS🥺 I am a programmer and my client wants to write fingerprint, image, and names of its staff into a card. Is it possible to write the above details into a card? What is the largest size a card has? (please mention the name of the card)
Nelson my man! You won't be able to write that much data onto the card. You can tell your client to message me if he has a problem with that haha. The only way you can do that is if you have an online data base that has all those staff details. Then have your card refer to a unique ID of each staff member in the database. So as you can the card, it's linked to the Staff information from the Database. The biggest card you can get is an NTAG216 which is only around 800bytes
I tried using NXP app (with Latest Android Phone) to read multiple NFC building gate card and tags, the app doesn't read any code or anything. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or the card and tags I am using are not exactly NFC.
Hi Raouf, After you've written to your tag with the content of your choosing, you can then lock the tag using the same software you used to write to it. Locking the tag prevents anyone from overwriting over your content. It will then be permanent
I don't know much about iPhone but there are plenty of tutorials online for doing this in Android Studio for Android based apps. However you will need to know a thing or two about NFC Chip Types. It is worth Investigating.
Are you talking only about passive RFID ? Because I've seen that RFID can have other frequencies other than mentioned in the video and has a wider distance
Hey Batman! :D Yes of course you do get other frequencies in the RFID Range. Just in the passive range it can go from 3 - 30 Mhz for Low Frequencies and up to 300Khz for Ultra High Frequencies. These frequencies can also be different when we start looking at active tags which have a more niche use case.
Hey man, unfortunately it won't work with Android phones unless you have the phone rooted and using special apps that I can't endorse. You can however so this with RFID card using a device called a Flipper 🐬
Hi Moayad! Good question, I know this is 100% possible with regards to hardware - Your phone is physically capable of doing this but I think the software that allows this is very hard to obtain because of security reasons. I am not aware of any software right now that will let you do this. If anyone finds software, please let me know :)
Hey Terje!, Actually the Phones are both NFC Read/Writers. They can do both. You can actually send information from one Android device to another device. Very long ago Samsung hand a feature where you could put phones back to back and send files. They called it "S Beam" - There are newer version of that protocol now. Maybe search "Send Data via NFC Android Phones" - I am sure there is someone who knows a little more than me about the Data Transfer part
Certainly, However you would just need to find an NFC compatible electrical contactor. If you don't have one, you would need to just put together an NFC reader and a microcontroller like an Arduino. When the NFC reader detects the tag, it tells the Arduino and the Arduino sends a small pulse to the coil side of the contactor to either open or close it. Quite an awesome use for it!
Hey Roberto, I mean I've never tried but I'm sure you can get them. I know personally my supplier of chips sells them but you need to have a compatible antenna built for it to actually receive power.

Good question Luis, It is a little trickier than it seems. Because the reader on your phone is an NFC read/writer. You might need to use special software that makes the phone act as a Card and only output a UID number. But this is quite tedious because every time you want to open the door you need to open an app on your phone. If you're okay with that - You would also need to use an NFC Reader on your door which is connected to a magnetic door lock. Every time the NFC Reader detects the correct UID. It disengages the Magnetic Lock for 3 seconds - Enough time to open the door and walk.
Hey! Good Question! Mifare is a brand of NFC Chips made by NXP. You get Mifare and NTAG both owned by NXP. They can both used for the same purpose. One type may be suitable for certain applications than others such as high security or ISO certifications
