Gallagher Command Centre × Hikvision VMS

Native video, alarms and live view, inside one operator screen

Red Crater has built a native integration between Gallagher’s Command Centre and Hikvision’s video management system, bringing Hikvision cameras, NVRs and analytics events directly into Command Centre’s operator interface.

It works using the latest Hikvision ISAPI interface, supporting deeper alarm-to-camera linking, live view and PTZ control from inside Command Centre itself, for sites running Gallagher access control alongside Hikvision video hardware.

The integration is deployed and supported through Gallagher channel partners and integrators already running Hikvision, with technical documentation and handover available for direct installation by reseller teams.

Developed by experts

Video has its own subtleties: latency, buffering, connectivity drop-outs. Twenty years’ experience in video integrations means we’ve met every one of them, on every platform. Our portfolio reflects that breadth: Pelco, OnSSI, Avigilon, Milestone, Bosch, Geutebrück, TruVision and now Hikvision. Whatever platform you choose, a Red Crater integration is built to be reliable and perform exactly as you expect.

Comprehensive Channel Support

We back every deployment ourselves, whatever time zone your team is working in. Technical documentation is written to suit installers, help-desk staff and senior engineers alike, backed by extensive diagnostic logging and troubleshooting support when something needs digging into. And we respect reseller agreements with end customers. Once a partner owns the relationship, we work through them, not around them.

Crisis Averter × Inovonics Wireless

Native duress and lockdown response, direct to the access control you already run

A native host-level interface (HLI) connects Inovonics wireless devices directly into Gallagher Command Centre, so duress buttons, door sensors and repeaters report straight into the platform, without hardwiring a receiver back to the controller for every device.

Software buttons to trigger three-level response, ranging from a discreet alert to the control room through to a full-site lockdown, activated from a fixed point, mobile device or Inovonics wireless button.

Doors secure and sirens activate automatically on trigger, coordinated across the site rather than actioned room by room.

Wireless Infrastructure

Already running Inovonics receivers and repeaters on site? Crisis Averter plugs straight into that existing wireless infrastructure, so panic buttons, door sensors and other devices can be deployed cost-effectively across a site, without pulling new cable or hardwiring a receiver back to the controller for every device.

Lockdown Agent

Lockdown Agent puts security control directly into staff hands. Authorised users can trigger a full-site lockdown from a desktop computer or wireless button, anywhere on site, helping to mitigate active shooter and other violence threats in the critical seconds before a response team can react.

Security Integration & Development

Custom software integration for organisations whose security systems need to talk to the rest of the business.

Identity

HammerTech

Site inductions and contractor compliance enforced at the turnstile, so only credentialed workers get through.

Workday

HR starter, mover and leaver events flow straight through to Gallagher, so access changes the moment employment does.

AI Analytics

VIDAR PAX

Reads through the windscreen to count occupants and flag seatbelt or mobile phone use at the point of vehicle access.

Corsight

Matches faces against watchlists in real time, even in poor light or partial occlusion.

Elevators

KONE

Destination dispatch and floor-level access tied directly to Gallagher credentials, not a separate fob system.

Schindler

Bi-directional integration with LenelS2 OnGuard: floor access and elevator events flow both ways between systems, not just one.

Custom

With over 25 years’ experience in the sector, Red Crater has delivered custom solutions including identity integration, custom access control systems, data bridging, locking systems, key cabinets and lockers, time and attendance, and intercoms and mobile devices.

About Red Crater

Red Crater Software Solutions is a software house specialising in physical security systems integration. Led by solutions architect Peter Neil, the team builds the connective software that lets access control, video, alarm, elevator and identity platforms operate as one system instead of several.

We work directly with end users and alongside security integrators and resellers across the world, scoping, building and supporting integrations that the standard product catalogue doesn’t cover.
