January 21, 2025: A&H Software House Inc. (Luxriot) and Gallagher Security proudly unveil their state-of-the-art access control and video management integration. This milestone ensures Gallagher Command Centre users can access real-time Luxriot Evo video verification, while Luxriot Evo security operators gain intuitive access to Gallagher’s robust access control features within the Evo Monitor interface. Together, these systems create a powerful, efficient, and user-friendly security solution tailored for industrial and commercial applications.

Two Become One: How Luxriot Evo and Gallagher Command Centre Are Better Together

This 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.
• Unified Assets: Access Gallagher Command Centre alarms, events, and identities via interactive maps in Luxriot Evo. Simultaneously, take control of Luxriot’s live video streaming, PTZ cameras, and archive search tools directly within the Command Centre interface.

Let Them Come Together: Integration Blueprint

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

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

All steps are in detail described in the integration manual. 

You are ready to go! So, how to use this bundle?

Take Control: Luxriot Evo’s Event and Action Manager

On top of the simple linking the Gallagher doors to Evo video channels, Luxriot Evo 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 Evo 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 Evo Monitor interface

The dedicated Gallagher tab within Luxriot Evo 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 Luxriot Evo 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 Effortless

On the other side, Evo "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, Evo 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.

Viewing live video and playing back VMS video in Gallagher Command Centre

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