An exemplary credential input device includes a mounting plate, a pivot pad, a sensor, an input device, and a controller. The pivot pad is pivotably mounted to the mounting plate, is biased to a home position, and is operable to pivot to each of a plurality of pivoted positions. The sensor is mounted to the pivot pad such that the sensor moves with the pivot pad, and is configured to generate information relating to an orientation of the sensor. The input device operable to move the pivot pad from the home position to each of the plurality of pivoted positions, thereby altering the orientation of the sensor. The controller is in communication with the sensor, and is configured to determine an inputted code based upon information received from the sensor, to compare the inputted code to an authorized code, and to issue a command in response to the comparing.

An access control device including a credential reader circuit configured to enter a standby mode, awaken from a standby mode, and receive data from a nearby credential. The access control device further includes a credential detection circuit having a memory configured to store program instructions, an antenna, and a processor electrically coupled to the antenna and to the credential reader circuit, wherein the processor is configured to execute the stored program instructions to: transmit an interrogation signal, receive a reflected interrogation signal with the antenna, transmit an activation signal to the credential reader circuit in response to the received reflected interrogation signal wherein the reflected interrogation signal includes I and Q values, receive a false detection signal from the credential reader circuit, and adjust at least one of the I and Q threshold values of the reflected interrogation signal.
