At Midpark Hospital in Scotland the CEM AC2000 Lite access control and security management system has been installed. The product is from CEM Systems, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco; and was installed by CEM Approved Reseller Scotshield Fire & Security.

The £27m site opened to the public in early 2012. Midpark replaces the accommodation previously provided by Crichton Royal Hospital. The NHS reports Midpark is one of the most innovative mental health hospitals in the UK.

Michael MacBean, Business Development Director, Scotshield Fire & Security, said: “AC2000 Lite is a feature rich, cost effective access control and security management system and fulfills the needs of Midpark Hospital perfectly. The site required a highly secure, resilient system with a degree of flexibility to suit evolving needs.”

According to the Belfast-based makers, AC2000 Lite is for the small to mid range market, supporting up to 128 doors. The product is integrated with selected video and intruder detection systems, to offer a central command and control centre for access control, video and intruder alarms.

Philip Verner, Regional Sales Director EMEA at CEM Systems, said: “Should Midpark Hospital’s needs grow, AC2000 Lite can be seamlessly updated to the core AC2000 security management system. This provides an upgrade path with virtually unlimited expansion capabilities and future proofs the system.”

CEM DCM 300 (Door Control Modules) were also installed. These two-door controllers are designed to work to third-party read heads and provide off-line validation. For more on CEM Systems, visit www.cemsys.com.
