AC2000 Lite software incorporates a comprehensive suite of applications including AC2000 AED (Alarm Event Display), an integrated alarm processing application which provides a dynamic graphical representation of all system events. In addition, CEM’s AC2000 External Systems application means that the hospital can interface the AC2000 Lite system to their existing video management system without the need for costly development work.

The CEM S610f fingerprint reader was central to the system design at the Baylor Medical Centre at Uptown. In addition to fingerprint security, the S610f reader features an internal database for offline card validation, a keypad for PIN verification and an LCD for displaying meaningful messages such as ‘Card Expiring’ and ‘Access Granted’

The integrated biometric system means that staff at the hospital can administrate cardholders via one user friendly interface, without needing a separate biometric network. Biometric templates are then encrypted and fully distributed from the server to the S610f reader internal database.
