Camden CM-120TX Battery-Powered Wireless Outdoor Keypad

Secure Wireless Access Control Without Running Power or Control Wiring

The Camden CM-120TX is a battery-powered wireless keypad designed for outdoor access-control applications where running wires would be difficult, disruptive, or expensive. It combines a weather- and vandal-resistant metal keypad with built-in 915 MHz spread-spectrum wireless communication for dependable operation.

Supporting up to 999 users, fixed or variable-length PIN codes, and two-channel wireless control, the CM-120TX provides a convenient solution for doors, gates, automatic-door operators, and other remotely controlled access points.
