Summer 2017

Happy Summer!

Finally, the dog days of summer are back again, which means that, as the official spokes-dog of Camden, I am enjoying my favorite season of the year! The temps are hot, and so are our latest product offerings. Check out the articles below to learn all about our 2nd generation of restroom control and emergency call systems; see how we've reinvented the 'Request-to-Exit' detector; learn about our new Web site order tracking enhancements, and how we're redefining "All-in-One" strike performance and value. We're very pleased to present you with our new products, all of which deliver the high quality, performance and competitive value that is synonymous with Camden!
Camden Unveils new web site order tracking system

We're pleased to introduce you to our new Web Site Order Tracking System. It enables our customers to simply enter their purchase order number on the Camden web site and instantly view a detailed 'cradle to grave' summary of their order status, including the progress of their order through Camden's internal order processes and on the shipper (courier) tracking web site.

We've made the system super easy to use. Visitors to the site do not have to login/register to access the basic features of the new tracking system. Order status reporting is color coded with simple text and the scheduled delivery date information is clearly shown. Our new Web Site Order Tracking System is an important initiative that will benefit customers, and its way beyond anything our competitors are doing. It provides 24/7 customer service, and our customers don't need to phone or email to find out when their order will be delivered. This is just another example of how Camden is providing the very best customer service in the industry!
Camden Reinvents the 'Request to Exit' Detector
Our new CM-RQE70 - PIR 'Request-to-Exit" detector is the first completely new REX detector design to be introduced to the security market in more than 15 years, and offers a completely new design that improves PIR REX detector performance! This 'full featured' REX detector includes door contact, card reader and switch inputs, two relay outputs, sounder and tamper alarm - and factory default operating modes that are selectable by the press of a button on the circuit board.

Elegantly designed, Camden fashioned the CM-RQE70 to be smaller, so it can be installed in more places, most practically, onto door frames. On-board push buttons can also be used to accommodate customized detector settings. Detector mounting and wiring is quick and easy with a plug-in wiring harness. Our CM-RQE70 is more than a new REX detector, it represents an entirely new approach to REX detector design.
Blue Color Option for CM-7536 Series Column™ Switches
Camden now offers Column™ switches with the option for blue anodized finish, with white graphics. Simply add 'BLU' suffix to the model number to select the blue finish. They will be in stock and ready for distributor orders at the end of August
2 Piece, 4 1/2" Square Shallow Surface Mounting Box
Check out our new 2 piece, 4 1/2" square shallow mounting box that provides access to wireless transmitter batteries, without the need for the installer to remove the switch from the box! The CM-43LP is only 1 3/8" (35mm) deep, and constructed from flame and impact-resistant ABS. It's ideal for any wired or wireless ADA compliant installation. A glass mounting option is coming soon!
New Cutting Jigs for Camden ANSI Strikes
We've just made ANSI strike installations easier with the introduction of a new line of cutting jigs. They can be used to mark the door frame cut-out or as a router guide. We offer a range of jigs for CX-ED1079L/DL, CX-ED2079, and CX-ED1410 models, for ANSI round faceplates and hollow metal doors. We will be announcing more details soon on our upcoming promotional offer - buy 20 or more Camden 1079 or 2079 strikes, and we'll give you the jig to accompany for free! Buy any forty strikes or more, and we'll give you our Jig #5, which includes all the different jigs for all ANSI faceplates!

We also offer complete emergency call system kits, including latching relays, with the option for push button (CX-WEC12) or key switch (CX-WEC13) system reset.

It's Been a Great Twenty Years, Tony!
All of us at Camden wish to salute Tony Creswell, our longest serving employee, for 20 years of magnificent and loyal service. Tony, our Special Projects Manager, who joined Camden in September of 1997 is set to retire this November. Tony looks forward to his retirement and back fondly over his years at Camden.

"Dave (Malen) and Heidi (Goldberg) have always looked out for me. This has been a wonderful place to work, and I've loved my time here," he says.

Everyone at Camden will miss the professional contributions Tony has consistently brought to the company over the years, as well as his warm and kind hearted demeanor.
Kudos to Team Camden!
