Software House, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, has announced that it is working with Lynx Systems, a solution from Micro Technology Services, to provide Duress and Instant Alert Notification systems to universities, healthcare facilities, and other heavily populated, dispersed organizations who are hungry for a solution that helps them to protect students, patients, visitors, and employees.
The Lynx system, which will be sold exclusively through Software House, is a turnkey solution that links dozens of alarm devices such as panic buttons, police call systems, remote alarm fobs etc., to a variety of audible or visual warning outputs. A simple push of a panic button can activate a flashing LED display, strobe lights, group text messages, automated lockdown procedures, and much more.
"Lynx Duress and Instant Alert Notification Systems have proven to be extremely cost-effective and powerful alternatives to other expensive and restrictive critical notification systems," said Timothy Lee, VP of Lynx. "The potential to answer the critical needs of thousands of customers is now more of a reality by teaming up with Software House and the vast reach of their global channels."
Initially, Software House will offer the Lynx system as a stand-alone product; the next phase will include a tightly developed integration through the C.CURE 9000 security and event management system, where access control events (e.g. door forced open, lock disabled, etc.) can be broadcast through standard mass distribution mechanisms such as broadcast to existing security radio systems, PA and other media.
