MDI ( News - Alert) Security Systems has launched its new PointGuard Xtreme IP-based access control software and hardware. Designed in partnership with Security Dealers and IT Integrators, PointGuard Xtreme is a cost-effective and scalable system that meets universal requirements and security budgets for organizations of all sizes.

According to a press release, the PointGuard Xtreme is easy to install, manage, train and use. MDI explains that the comprehensive system training can be accomplished in under one day and will be available online.
The company is providing a bundled turn-key access control package: Ready-Kit, by using a single part number for system configurations between 2 and 12 doors. The customers will get these kits pre-wired, pre-configured and ready to install and use, which will significantly reduce the preparation, installation, troubleshooting and programming time for the integrator.
