Catch the Camden TouchlessWave
Camden Door Controls has completed production of its TouchlessWave video. It comes on the heels of Camden’s newly launched TouchlessWave.com microsite, which highlights Camden’s “no-touch” and “low-touch” solutions that eliminate the spread of germs.
The COVID-19 era has sparked a huge demand for touchless access control solutions, and Camden produced a seven-minute video to acquaint viewers with its wide range of no-touch and low-touch solutions. They include Camden’s touchless switches, wireless fobs, Request to Exit Detectors, Lazerpoint wireless devices, low-touch push plate switches and Lazerpoint battery-operated transmitter.
“We produced our TouchlessWave video as part of our comprehensive effort to assist installers, facility managers, architects and system specifiers in responding to the new ‘wave’ of requirements for touchless door control,” says David Price, Camden’s vice president of corporate communication and business development. “Each of our no-touch and low-touch solutions are featured in this video, which will serve as a valuable resource for installers and their end users.”

dormakaba Touch-Free eBook
Architects, planners and facility operators who want to continue building attractive, futureproof buildings must take into account the increased hygiene awareness of the people who enter them. A new, free Touchless Solutions eBook from dormakaba addresses the five most critical points where hygiene is important.
“We talk often about the concept of smart, connected and automated buildings for greater convenience, energy efficiency and lower costs,” says Darren Blankenship, associate vice president, Vertical Market Development. “In the future, the smart building will also be defined by its levels of hygiene and infection control. Wherever infection protection is a top priority, people feel safer, welcome, and comfortable.”
The top five critical points where hygiene is important are:
- When entering through the main entrance
- Interior access points
- When opening and closing doors
- When entering nonpublic areas
- For large flows of people or crowds
dormakaba’s Touchless Solutions eBook offers additional details about surface and building hygiene requirements and documents related behaviors of people as a result of today’s heightened cleanliness awareness. It also shows what contactless passage through a building that is as hygienic as possible might look like. Finally, it introduces specific solutions to reduce surface contact using touch-free and barrier-free access solutions.
