Innovative With Gallagher Access Control

Updated: Jul 8

Access control is a comprehensive solution ensuring optimum commercial site health and safety standards. Gallagher access control goes beyond scanning in systems by checking credentials such as licenses, training, and accreditations.

Industry-leading data security between Gallagher Command Centre and Controllers with 256-bit encryption. This enables intelligent operation even if network communications fail on-site.



Flexibility


Gallagher access control is engineered to be flexible to meet the needs of various customers and sites. This can be achieved through system integration with other technologies, such as video management systems. Gallagher access control allows for a more user-friendly interface and reduces the number of variables an Operator has to manage.

Similarly, integrating with intercom systems enables mobile credentials to replace physical card IDs. This removes the need for an Operator to manage a master station, further simplifying operations.

Additionally, intelligent software within the Command Centre helps improve site compliance by monitoring the time cardholders spend in designated areas. This feature also sends immediate notifications to Supervisors and automatically records events for reporting purposes. Combined with HBUS modules, these devices offer several input and output options to expand a system’s capabilities.



Scalability


Gallagher’s access control solutions are engineered to provide flexibility and meet your site’s security requirements. This includes scalable scalability to support organizations of different sizes, from single-door facilities to global multinationals, while offering extensive integration capability.

Gallagher readers send access request information to a Gallagher controller, where decisions are made nearly instantaneously based on the time of day, area, and cardholder competency (such as training, licenses, inductions, or medical clearances). This highly resilient system operates over an encrypted network with distributed intelligence and data management.

Gallagher access control can be integrated with other technologies, such as video surveillance and intrusion detection, enabling a holistic approach to site security management. Moreover, Gallagher can offer mobile credentials so staff can use their smartphones as access cards and gain greater convenience and security. In addition, it provides audit trails for a complete and detailed reporting solution to facilitate compliance with hygiene protocols.



Security


Gallagher access control provides a strong layer of security to help protect people, buildings, and assets. It helps protect businesses by ensuring that access to areas is only granted to appropriate personnel and can be easily revoked in an emergency.

Readers pass access request information to Gallagher access control, which make near-instantaneous decisions to grant or deny access based on the application data stored on a card. Typically, the application data resides on sectors 1-15 of a Mifare card, with sector 0 reserved for the system directory.

Gallagher Command Centre also includes a robust site management application. It enables operators to view the location of cardholders within an area—such as a muster zone—and take customizable actions (e.g., open boom gates automatically or unlock turn styles) to evacuate and relocate individuals safely. It also allows them to manage alarms and access events from anywhere in the world, reducing the time they spend managing their sites and helping to reduce business risks.



Integration


Gallagher access control works seamlessly with other third-party systems, such as video monitoring and recording, intruder alarms, fire alarms, intercoms, lifts, and more. This enables all systems to work together to ensure optimum site safety.

Gallagher access control solutions go beyond screening who enters a commercial building by checking credentials, including licenses, health and safety certifications, skill sets, and more. This allows companies to ensure that only those with the necessary credentials are working on dangerous equipment or areas of their sites.

Gallagher Command Centre software allows events and actions to be communicated with third-party systems using the graphical user interface and APIs provided. Integrated systems are then monitored by those who need to be.
