Access Control System Integration with Gallagher

In today’s fast-paced security landscape, the importance of synchronizing access control systems with video management technology cannot be overstated. As the industry evolves, we recognize that access control systems remain a cornerstone of
security infrastructure, essential for safeguarding valuable assets, sensitive data, and personnel from unauthorized access.

At Wavesys Global, we have dedicated ourselves to developing innovative solutions that address these pressing needs. Our integrated security systems not only enhance the efficiency of access control but also provide comprehensive surveillance capabilities that work seamlessly together. This holistic approach ensures that organizations can respond proactively to security challenges while maintaining a high level of operational integrity.

We believe that by fostering collaboration between access control and video management systems, we can offer enhanced security measures that not only meet the demands of current challenges but also anticipate future needs. Our team of experts is dedicated to developing solutions that empower organizations to maintain a secure and efficient operational framework.

The integration fosters a seamless two-way information flow, allowing both systems to work in perfect harmony. Here’s why this pairing is a game-changer

• Seamless Communication: Real-time event sharing and action initiation across platforms enhance situational awareness and speed up responses.
• Unified Oversight: Manage access points and video feeds from a single, intuitive interface — or use both a time by different operators!
• Easy Deployment: Intuitive installation and configuration make setup a breeze, unlocking advanced functionality right out of the box.
• Enhanced Investigations: Easily link access logs with corresponding video footage for precise and efficient incident analysis.

Wavesys Global and Gallagher Security proudly unveil their state-of-the-art access control and video management integration. Together, these systems create a powerful, efficient, and user-friendly security solution tailored for industrial and commercial applications.

Integration Blueprint

Getting started with this groundbreaking integration is a simple, streamlined process.

1. Set up the Gallagher side
2. Install WVMS Proxy supplied by the Wavesys team on the same machine where Gallagher Command Centre is.
3. Set up Wavesys side via wvms Console.
4. Add resources on both sides and arrange them to your liking.

All steps are in detail described in the integration manual.

Take Control: Wavesys WVMS’s Event and Action Manager On top of the simple linking the Gallagher doors to Evo video channels, Wavesys WVMS Console empowers security teams with robust automated event management:

• Door Events: Monitor real-time status changes and set up automated responses like notifying the security team of door held open after hours – via email, messaging app, or a direct short message via GSM.
• Automated Actions: Program locks or [temporarily] unlocks doors based on specific events like unauthorized access attempts from an adjacent location or a face recognition event of an employee (which may be set to only be active if the correspondent Cardholder is accessing the location).
• Interactive Maps: Visualize and control door statuses and the related video directly from dynamic, user-friendly maps for quick and effective responses.

One Vision: Single Pane of Glass

From the intuitive Wavesys Monitor interface, security professionals can manage door states in real time, access associated video feeds for immediate visual verification, and investigate access events in detail. In essence, this unified approach eliminates switching between multiple systems, ensuring a faster and more efficient workflow.

Dedicated Access Control tab in the WVMS Client Monitor interface
The dedicated Gallagher tab within Wavesys WVMS Monitor takes integration to the next level, serving as a comprehensive control center. It consolidates all essential elements — events, doors, cardholders, and interactive maps — into a single, cohesive view. Thus, operators can easily monitor and respond to alarms, track individual cardholder activity, and visualize the layout of the premises through dynamic maps.
This level of centralization simplifies day-to-day operations and enhances situational awareness, enabling teams to make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

Don’t Panic: Simplified Troubleshooting

The Alerts tab in Wavesys WVMS provides insights into common issues, such as misconfigured API settings or unsupported functions, to ensure smooth operation. With clear diagnostics, troubleshooting is
faster and easier.

Under Pressure: Swift Responses Made EffortlessOn the other side, WVMS “inside” the Gallagher Command Centre offers a user-friendly, feature-rich experience that provides control and insights. Here, operators can create customizable panels and tiles within the GCC interface to meet monitoring needs. Once configured, WVMS activates in Gallagher, giving
operators access to live feeds for real-time awareness and playback for investigations. Also, available pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities enhance surveillance, allowing users to zoom in or track movements easily.

Wavesys WVMS event management system sends pre-configured alerts to Gallagher, providing notifications on critical events like license plate recognition matches, video analytics detections, fire alarms, and more. These alerts keep operators informed, enabling swift responses and proactive decision-making.

With Wavesys WVMS’s features embedded in Gallagher’s interface, security professionals gain an efficient, proactive approach to safeguarding their environments.
