HALO Smart Sensor integration
HALO Smart Sensor is a multifunctional device that enables users to capture comprehensive health and safety awareness for their buildings while ensuring privacy in areas where businesses and site managers would prefer not to use a camera or microphone. HALO Smart Sensors detect substances in the atmosphere as well as light, pressure, temperature, humidity, and sound. It is the world’s number one vape detector for vaping and vaping with THC detection, having won over 50 awards as of 2021. The HALO Smart Sensor is also installed in over 1,500 school districts throughout the USA to help combat the vaping epidemic. Devices such as the HALO Smart Sensor are not only helpful for schools, but other markets such as healthcare, hospitality, commercial buildings, apartment complexes, assisted living, and many more.
The release of Command Centre v.870 brings with it a new Gallagher HALO Smart Sensor integration allowing for easy monitoring and reporting of HALO events and alarms. This allows Operators to easily view HALO events and alarms in a single interface rather than having to use multiple different systems, saving time, and providing better situational awareness.
Able to detect sounds and substances in the atmosphere, the Gallagher HALO Smart Sensor integration helps sites achieve safe and healthy environments by detecting abnormalities such as a gunshot or smoke. Command Centre then monitors this and generates an alert when required.
The Gallagher HALO Smart Sensor integration ensures better situational awareness with a single interface for all events and alarms.
Seamlessly upgrade multiple controllers
Maintaining up-to-date security hardware and software is critically important for maintaining site security. All sites are required to upgrade the software and firmware on their controllers to maintain the integrity of their security solutions. Till now, this has been an arduous and time-consuming process.
With the release of Command Centre v8.70 comes the revolutionary Command Centre Controller Upgrade tool, enabling sites to seamlessly upgrade multiple controllers. The Upgrade tool minimizes disruption to a site’s operation while providing greater situational awareness and visibility of the upgrade process. What was previously an arduous and manual process, now takes sites just minutes, creating significant operational efficiencies and saving significant costs.
The Gallagher Command Centre Controller Upgrade tool offers immediate and easily quantifiable benefits to many organizations, delivering a leading technology and significantly advancing the way in which sites across the globe upgrade their controllers
Events Sync Service
In today’s modern building environment, it is common for building owners and tenants to run disparate access control and security solutions, meaning cardholder movements are not seen in both systems. No one site has a complete picture, causing significant health and safety challenges, particularly in emergency or evacuation situations.
Command Centre v8.70 introduces Event Sync Service, providing improved situational awareness across multiple Command Centre systems and considerably expanding site monitoring capability.
Event Sync Service provides the ability for disparate Command Centre systems to easily share events and cardholder movements in real-time , while ensuring that each system remains safe and secure.
The unique functionally of Event Sync allows sites to:
- Choose which events to synchronize
- Monitor events from another system
- Track cardholder location changes occurring in another system
- Produce comprehensive evacuation reporting on their cardholders
Event Sync Service gives sites managing a growing number of disparate security systems unprecedented visibility over their site, enabling them to quickly identify and respond to events as they happen. Event Sync Service considerably expands site monitoring capability, making it an essential tool for any organization serious about protecting what matters most!
Greater support for third-party access solutions
Command Centre v8.70 also brings enhanced support for third-party access solutions, including SALTO Space 6.4 support for the SALTO NCoder, providing a further layer of security, and removing limitations of older devices.
In addition, the IDEMIA MorphoWave Compact Reader will now read all four fingerprints when a hand is presented to the reader. With increasing capacity on cards, Command Centre can now encode all fingerprints directly onto a card, offering customers greater flexibility and choice in access solutions.
