HID MiniProx 5365 — Smallest 125 kHz Proximity Reader in the HID Lineup
The HID MiniProx 5365 is the smallest 125 kHz proximity reader in HID Global’s Proximity line — supporting legacy HID Prox credentials in an ultra-compact form factor for the most space-constrained installations. Wiegand output, IP55-rated for indoor and protected outdoor positions.
Reach for the MiniProx when the mounting surface itself is the problem — elevator cab panels with ultra-narrow space, equipment-controller positions, vehicle-side entries, pedestrian gate readers, and HOA access points where even the ProxPoint Plus 6005 is too large.
When to Choose MiniProx vs. Other Prox Readers
| Form factor | Model | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-compact (smallest) | MiniProx 5365 (this) | Smallest spaces, equipment controllers, ultra-narrow |
| Compact mullion | ProxPoint Plus 6005 | Narrow door frames, mullions |
| Standard wall (full-size) | ProxPro 5355 | Standard commercial doors |
| Slim wall | ThinLine II 5395 | Low-profile architectural |
| Newer standard wall | ProxPro II 5455 | Newer-generation replacement |
Where the MiniProx 5365 Wins in Chicago
- Smallest-possible Prox replacement at Chicago commercial properties
