Gallagher Security has announced that it will be collaborating with Edge360, a provider of containerized video management solutions (VMS), to create a unified video and access control solution.

According to the company, the new partnership will strengthen Gallagher’s Command Centre VMS capabilities.

Integrated systems

“Edge360 and Gallagher share many common values and we’re both committed to delivering flexible, high-performing solutions,” said Blake Smith, National Technical Manager for Gallagher Security North America.

“Combining access control and video surveillance systems gives our Command Centre users unparalleled control over their sites and I think users will feel the benefits of this partnership immediately.”

Through the partnership, Command Centre users will be able to view and control video surveillance and access control systems from a single interface, streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.

Gallagher says that by correlating video footage with access events, users can investigate incidents comprehensively and quickly identify specific recordings associated with those events.

The synchronized workflows and co-ordinated responses enabled by the combined focus on video and access control eliminate the need for separate systems and manual co-ordination, improving security operations, the company says.

More importantly, the new integration empowers users with advanced video analytics capabilities, transforming raw video footage into valuable insights.

By leveraging features such as facial recognition, object detection, people counting and motion detection, users can gain deep situational awareness and make data-driven decisions.

This also automates processes, saving time and optimizing resource allocation for better operational outcomes.

Access control and video

“We are pleased to announce the integration of Gallagher‘s Command Centre with Edge360’s Surveill video management platform,” said John Rezzonico, CEO, Edge360. 

“The combination of these advanced technologies offers users an unparalleled level of control, efficiency and situational awareness by combining access control and video surveillance into a seamless experience.

“In a landscape where speed and precision are of the essence, this is a game-changer for optimizing security operations and resource allocation.”
