Gallagher access control provides premium integrated security solutions for high-security sites. Our systems are designed for security compliance with government standards around the world.

The heart of any Gallagher system is a Controller, which makes access decisions near-instantaneously in real-time. Controllers are fully scalable to meet the needs of any site.

Biometrics

Gallagher’s intelligent access control keep people safe by ensuring only authorized personnel can gain entry into a site. With powerful emergency response capabilities, mobile access solutions, and simple credential management, they’re designed to protect small businesses, franchises, and critical sites with some of the highest security requirements.

IDEMIA biometric readers integrate seamlessly with Gallagher access control to reveal new functionality that helps safety and security professionals make the workplace safer. These include logging entries and exits where door readers are not practical or possible, challenging credentials from secure areas, spot-checking permissions to deter tailgating/piggybacking, deploying alarm notification events for mass mustering during an evacuation, and maintaining facility occupancy information.

The IDEMIA VisionPass facial recognition option can also communicate alarm notifications - such as elevated body temperature and the absence of a mask - directly into the Command Centre, reducing manual data entry and eliminating errors. Okta synchronization enables administrators to manage cardholder access in the Command Centre from their Okta user details and update Personal Data Fields from their Okta properties, reducing data duplication.

Access Control Options

Gallagher access control offers several hardware and software options for allowing people to enter a specific area. This can be via security cards, readers, mobile credentials, or QR codes. When a person waves their credential over the reader, it sends a message to a controller that authenticates the credential, and then it sends a signal to the lock that grants them entry.

The communication between the Gallagher access control and Command Centre is a peer-to-peer solution that uses up to 256-bit AES encryption – an industry-leading level of security. This means the system is more reliable, faster, and more functional than systems that use central servers.

Using the Gallagher Mobile Connect app, a mobile device can be used as an access credential with long-range readability via Bluetooth wireless technology. The app can also interact with other building systems, such as arm or disarm alarms, and trigger various actions.

Integrated Solutions

Gallagher offers integrated solutions for sites ranging from small businesses and franchises to large enterprise organizations. These systems provide a high level of integration with video and access control, allowing you to leverage existing technology investments and lower total cost of ownership over the long term.

Integrating your Gallagher access control with an elevator system can allow you to grant access to specific floors automatically. For example, employees could access the warehouse floor when they press their card. This eliminates the need to key in the elevator code and ensures compliance with hygiene protocols.

Security Compliance

A comprehensive access control system can help you meet several security compliance standards. Gallagher’s solutions enable you to quickly and efficiently meet a range of compliance requirements, whether for workforce safety, protecting sensitive data, limiting employee access to certain site areas, or ensuring hygiene protocols are met.
