Gallagher access control is designed to protect high security sites with integrated solutions that save time and create efficiencies. These include scanning visitors’ credentials, checking expiry dates on health and safety certificates, licences and more.
Integrating with other systems allows physical access permissions to be linked to logical access permissions within Command Centre, reducing double data entry and eliminating data errors.
Integrated Solutions
Gallagher’s industry-leading integrated solutions are designed to create efficiencies and keep your people and assets safe. Our flexible and scalable systems combine Gallagher access control, intrusion detection, fire protection, business cloud security, video management and more into a single operating platform called Command Centre.
Reliable door, zone and turnstile status reporting eliminates the need for manual inspections. Biometric integration offers a cardless way to verify identity through fingerprint, face or iris scan and eliminates the need for external plugin synchronization and enrolment utilities.
Manage car park access, assignment and occupancy from Command Centre to streamline parking processes and maximize usage of the site. Easily integrate intercoms for a complete solution that includes both manned and unmanned entry. Integration with a range of sensors can allow data to be collected, displayed and alarms triggered from Command Centre. This helps to improve operations and reduce energy costs by controlling building occupants’ movement. This can also include environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity and light.
Cloud-Based Solutions
Our cloud-based solutions provide a cost effective way to manage your site security without installing onsite hardware. This allows your business to lower initial capital costs, reduce operational expenses and save time with a solution that will automatically update its software, minimizing the need for manual intervention.
Cloud technology is scalable, making it easy to add and remove users when your business needs change. It also offloads cybersecurity risks to the service provider, protecting your data and keeping your systems up to date.
For example, our Gallagher SMB solution lets First Credit Union staff monitor and control the security of multiple sites from their mobile devices. This includes granting temporary access for auditors, cleaners, board members and contractors, as well as managing door and zone entry rules. This helps the company comply with hygiene protocols while reducing the cost of managing physical keys or pin codes. This was achieved through a full-featured, integrated system that uses a simple and intuitive app with robust embedded security.
Elevator Integration
Using a high level interface (HLI) Gallagher offers elevator integration with many different elevator destination control systems. Destination based dispatching uses keypads and screens located in elevator lobbies to enable passengers to select their desired floor before the elevator is called, reducing the number of stops and overall travel time.
Upon presentation of a Gallagher card, the Gallagher access control informs the elevator system that floor access is allowed or denied. This is determined by the cardholder’s access permissions, a schedule for the floor and/or an assigned division. In addition, if the TK Elevator HLI is configured for destination based dispatching, Gallagher will also record the selected floors in the Gallagher Event Log.
Some imaging integrations allow motion detected events to trigger the creation of an event in Command Centre and some can even store video footage associated with this triggered event. This allows operators to view the actual images recorded by the camera. This functionality varies between imaging systems and requires the Jacques system to be networked to Command Centre.
Visitor Management
Gallagher offers an integrated visitor management solution which provides streamlined check-in, self-registration and reception-based processes. This solution also enables host to track and report on visitor movements, allowing for improved security and safety awareness.
Using the Gallagher access control, visitors and contractors can be granted access by simply presenting their mobile device at a reader. This allows the system to keep an accurate record of all people on site, which is crucial for enabling managers to quickly and easily find people during an emergency situation.
The system’s distributed controllers are the heart of any electronic security system - gathering data from alarm sensors, locks, readers, lifts and more. They act as the interface between the central system and the hardware on site, managing local events via onboard user and event databases in the case of a server or comms failure.
