Description
Dual-Frequency 13.56 MHz HF & 134.2 kHz LF USB RFID Reader & Base
Genuine Motorola Solutions Original multi-technology USB RFID reader and snap-in base enabling instant badge-tap shift checkout for V200, VB400, VT100, and V500 body-worn cameras.
The Motorola RF-220 is an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dual-frequency contactless RFID reader and snap-in mounting base engineered to accelerate body-worn camera assignment at shift change. Sourced directly from our verified inventory of Motorola Two-Way Radios & Accessories, the RF-220 connects via USB to a PMPN5012A 8-Port V200 SmartDock, DockController DC-200, or EdgeController EC-220 so frontline staff can simply tap their existing ID card or Motorola RFID tag to self-assign a docked camera in seconds.
Supporting both 13.56 MHz High Frequency (MIFARE, ISO 14443A/B, and ISO 15693) and 134.2 kHz Low Frequency (EM4305) credentials within a controlled 4-inch (100 mm) read zone, the Motorola RF-220 allows organizations to leverage existing facility access badges without issuing secondary cards—or deploy dedicated RF-CARD-10 plastic cards and RF-STICKER-10 adhesive tags. It also reads 13.56 MHz ISO 15693 NFC shrouds on MOTOTRBO R7 (PMLN8471A) and R7a (PMLN8472A) portable radios, allowing personnel to touch-assign a body camera directly to their radio. Managed through Motorola VideoManager EX (version 9.1 and later), Avigilon Unity, or Avigilon Alta, the RF-220 enforces strict user-to-video chain of custody in accordance with FCC Standards (Part 15) and workplace accountability guidelines under OSHA Standards.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Dual-Frequency 13.56 MHz HF & 134.2 kHz LF Support: Reads MIFARE Classic/DESFire, Multi-ISO (ISO 14443A/B, ISO 15693), and LF (EM4305) credentials from a single compact reader.
-
Works with Existing Employee Access Badges: Eliminates the need to issue separate proprietary cards when your organization already uses compatible HF or LF door-access credentials.
-
Supports Radio-to-Camera Touch Assignment: Reads 13.56 MHz ISO 15693 NFC shrouds on MOTOTRBO R7 (
PMLN8471A) and R7a (PMLN8472A) radios to pair voice and video gear in one tap.
-
Precision 4-Inch (100 mm) Read/Write Zone: Intentional close-proximity read range prevents accidental cross-reads of adjacent badges in busy equipment rooms.
-
Plug-and-Play USB Connectivity: Attaches directly to the USB ports on a Motorola PMPN5012A V200 SmartDock, DockController DC-200, or EdgeController EC-220.
-
Includes Snap-In Mounting Base: Supplied with a rigid snap-in holder for secure, tidy mounting on flat counters, equipment desks, or walls next to charging docks.
-
Multi-Camera Fleet Compatibility: Supports automated user checkout across V200, VB400, VT100, and V500 body-worn camera fleets inside VideoManager EX.

Frequently Asked Questions
What frequencies and card technologies does the Motorola RF-220 support?
The Motorola RF-220 is a dual-frequency reader supporting both 13.56 MHz High Frequency (HF) and 134.2 kHz Low Frequency (LF) credentials. Supported standards include ISO/IEC 14443A (MIFARE Classic and MIFARE DESFire), ISO/IEC 14443B, ISO/IEC 15693 (ICODE SLIX), and EM Marin EM4305, allowing you to use existing organizational access cards or Motorola RF-CARD-10 / RF-STICKER-10 media.
How does the RF-220 connect to body-worn camera docking stations?
The RF-220 connects via a standard USB Type-A cable directly into a Motorola PMPN5012A 8-Port V200 SmartDock, DockController DC-200, or EdgeController EC-220. Once linked to VideoManager EX, tapping a badge on the RF-220 automatically assigns a charged camera in that dock pool to the employee.
Can the RF-220 scan MOTOTRBO R7 radios equipped with NFC shrouds?
Yes. Because the RF-220 supports 13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 15693, it reads MOTOTRBO R7 (PMLN8471A) and R7a (PMLN8472A) radios fitted with 13.56 MHz NFC shrouds so personnel can touch-assign a body camera directly to their radio. (Note: It is not compatible with 902–928 MHz UHF RFID shrouds such as the PMLN8554A.)
What is included in the box with the Motorola RF-220?
Each Motorola RF-220 package includes the dual-frequency USB RFID reader with its attached USB cable plus a snap-in mounting holder/base for securing the reader flat onto a desk, counter, or wall near your charging docks.
Which body-worn cameras are compatible with the RF-220?
The RF-220 supports shift allocation for Motorola V200, VB400, VT100, and V500 body-worn cameras managed through Motorola VideoManager EX (version 9.1 or higher), Avigilon Unity, or Avigilon Alta.
