Gallagher releases Command Centre v9.40

Gallagher Security has released Command Centre v9.40, introducing new capabilities for the Controller 7000 product range. This release marks a significant leap forward for Gallagher’s site management platform, with enhanced scalability, performance, and proactive system management, reinforcing Gallagher’s commitment to supporting complex, high-density access control environments.

Mark Junge, Gallagher security chief executive, says with Command Centre v9.40, Gallagher’s Controller 7000 product range, including the Standard, Enhanced, and High Security variants, now supports the optional licencing expansion of up to 24 doors per controller, more than doubling the previous limit of 10.

“This enhancement means larger installations can be managed with significant reductions in infrastructure costs and simplified system architecture,” says Junge. “Importantly, even at full 24-door capacity, the Controller 7000 range maintains high performance and access responsiveness, even in the most demanding environments.

“As part of Command Centre v9.40, we have boosted the number of HBUS readers supported, from 20 to 40, and increased OSDP readers from 16 to 32. V9.40 also increases the number of supported inter-controller communications from 60 to 100, allowing for larger and more complex controller networks without compromising performance or manageability.”

Command Centre v9.40 also introduces Lock Cycle Counting, a new feature designed to support proactive maintenance strategies.

Gallagher security senior product manager, Jim Rayner, says, “We know that when locks fail, they do it at the most inconvenient time, at the end of the day or after hours. This results in costly callouts and expensive repairs. Proactively managing the life of a lock prevents these occurrences from happening and ensures upgrades are proactive.”

Entra ID single sign-on is also available with v9.40. The Command Centre integration with Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on provides secure, seamless authentication via OpenID Connect.

Says Junge, “This integration allows customers to align with their organisation’s cloud-first identity strategy, reduce reliance on legacy AD infrastructure, and benefit from centralised access control, multi-factor authentication, and conditional access policies – all managed through Microsoft Entra. It simplifies user management, enhances security, and supports smoother migration to modern identity platforms.”
