March 28, 2003—The Smithsonian Institution is implementing the C-CURE 800 security management system from Software House, a business unit of Tyco Fire & Security. The system will protect numerous Smithsonian buildings around the Washington, D.C. area, including the American History Museum, the Natural History Museum, as well as many of their galleries located worldwide.
C-CURE 800/8000 is a scalable solution that integrates numerous applications including digital video, ERP systems and third-party devices such as fire alarms, sprinkler systems and burglar alarms.
The integrated C-CURE 800 system includes 10 redundant C-CURE 800 servers and hundreds of apC/8X control panels and is being designed and installed in part by Williams Electric, an authorized Software House integrator. With the facilities widely spread out, security officials will use C-CURE 800’s central monitoring feature to provide a redundant monitoring station.
“The security requirements for this project are intricate,” said David Sousa, supervisor of the system administration for the Smithsonian Institution. “We chose Software House products not only because of their comprehensive feature set, but because of the high level of support we’ve found with the company and their integrators.”
