Since the acquisition of KMS and Entrotec to the CAME UK family in 2021, they have been working hard to align systems to develop a fully inclusive solution to serve and social and private residential developments.

CAME are constantly innovating and introducing new brands and specialist proficiency. This acquisition opportunity was no different and seemed like the perfect chance to present a newly cohesive approach for both brands.

The natural next step in this strategic alignment, was the ability to harness and develop the expertise in providing access control systems, by offering an integrated solution to meet all needs of people-flow and access control management in new and existing buildings management installations.

CAME UK are now proud to present a new integration of flagship products from both CAME Entrotec and CAME KMS; the fully isolated APEX door entry panel from CAME Entrotec with the industry leading, cloud-based software management system SimpleKey Web. 

This delivers the perfect combination of flexibility in installation options from the APEX choices, and total peace of mind from the system security offered by SimpleKey Web, all brought together in the commonality of robust design and reliability of systems.

Each system individually offers quality assurance through the sheer number of installations; APEX with a heritage of thousands of installs over the course of more than the last fifteen years, alongside SimpleKey Web found in excess of 22,000 housing blocks today.
