Intruder Alarms Overview
Gallagher’s security platform features fully integrated intruder alarm management with the ability to channel all alarms from integrated systems through the Command Centre for appropriate action.
The system will immediately inform you if there’s an intruder on the premises and contact your security staff or monitoring centre to re-secure the site.
Other incidents can also be detected by the system and treated as an alarm – for example, when the temperature reaches a certain level in a particular area. Contact your Channel Partner about other events.
Management of Alarms
An alarm activation caused by, for example, a door being left open, an intruder alarm sounding or a device being tampered with, needs urgent operator intervention. Gallagher’s Command Centre alarm configuration routine allows system administrators to define such events as alarms.
Three items are configured for each alarm:
• Event priorities: Up to 10 priorities can be defined, eight of which can be assigned to alarms
• Alarm action plans: Specifies the actions triggered by the alarm condition
• Alarm instructions: Provides information to the operator when the alarm occurs.
Intruder Alarm Monitoring and Control, Site Lockdown
The Gallagher system integrates full intruder alarm functionality, eliminating the need for a separate intruder alarm system.
Intruder detection zones can be configured to report four different states of arm (set), disarm (unset), and two further states named by the user.
Entry and exit delays can be defined for each zone giving cardholders time to enter and leave when changing the state of the alarm zone.
Alarm zone state changes can be initiated:
• Via automated schedules set up in the Command Centre
• From workstations via operator overrides
• Via Gallagher Remote Arming Terminals
• Via Gallagher readers
• Via Key-Switch control.
Operators monitor alarms at Command Centre workstations, complemented by:
• Gallagher Remote Arming Terminals for alarms management in the field
• Offsite alarm monitoring using Contact ID transmitted via Gallagher Controllers using a physical PSTN alarms dialler or IP alarms transmission over IP LAN/WAN or cellular network.
Site Lockdown
Access zones can be configured for partial or full-site lockdown during threat or emergency situations. Site lockdown ensures that only selected cardholders can enter or exit a zone/s.
Notifications
The Gallagher Notifications feature, enables sending email or text messages to cardholders about events and alarms, as well as the imminent expiry of their cards or competencies (the pre-requisites for gaining access to a specific area or asset such as inductions, training, licences, insurances, drug and alcohol testing).
Individuals can subscribe to particular events of interest and schedule timings for notifications. Commonly used reports can also be automatically generated on a recurring schedule and emailed.
Four main areas are supported:
• Individual subscription to event or alarm messages as they occur
• Acknowledgement of alarms via return email or text message
• Notification of imminent card or competency expiries to an individual, their manager or others who require the information
• Emailing of reports to intended recipients.
