ACCESS CONTROL SOLUTION FLEXIBLE ENOUGH
TO MEET EXPANSION REQUIREMENTS
»»NORTHERN DEVON
Healthcare NHS Trust is one of
the healthcare providers in the
district offering a varied health
care portfolio and specialising
in community care.
Recently the Hospital Facilities
Management Team decided to
review the access control system.
Their existing system was ageing
and becoming unreliable, and
maintaining the system was
proving to be inefficient and
costly, due to it being outdated
with limited capacity to meet
the healthcare’s plans for
expansion.
The management team
decided to seek specialist
advice from Challenge Alarm
Systems for a secure access
control system that could
accommodate, who chose
Genie.
The Genie’s Sphinx Door
Access Control Panels and
Proximity Readers system was
used because of its reliability,
robustness and slim attractive
design.
Since installed, Northern
Devon Healthcare NHS Trust
has been very pleased with
the systems and the ability
to monitor access and egress
and improve patient safety
by providing a safer and
secure environment whilst
monitoring staff activity.
Kevin Ward, Deputy Head of
Estates, commented:
“We were all very pleased
with the equipment flexibility
that was offered to meet the
current needs and future
expandability.”

NEW SYSTEM PROVIDES GREATER SECURITY
AND FREEDOM AT THE SAME TIME
Videx has launched a new GSM
door entry system that uses mobile
technology to communicate and
operate doors, automatic gates, car
parks and remote site applications.
»»THE GSM PRO INTERCOMS
are available in kit form or as
part of the popular 4000 Series
modular door entry system for
single call button applications
up to 50 apartments all with
the facility to divert to three
additional numbers if the first
is busy or unanswered.
Steve Natton, Special
Projects Manager at Videx
UK, said: “We’re excited to
introduce our new GSM
system as it’s the next
generation of Videx GSM that
provides users with much
greater security and freedom.
The intercom enables people
to answer calls to their front
door or gate from their
mobile phone or land line so
they never have to miss that
important visitor and are made
aware of who has visited even
when they are not there. The
systems provide spoken call
progress information so that
the visitor is informed how the
call is progressing. Four call
progress LEDs also offer the
visitor a visual indication of
the call’s status.”
