Take Control Anywhere: Command Centre v9.30 with OneLink is Here
Now Available: Gallagher Command Centre v9.30 Featuring OneLink Cloud Connectivity As a long-standing Gallagher Channel Partner and Certified System Integrator, Ruswin offers expert support for system upgrades and cloud-enabled security deployments. Gallagher has released a major update to its industry-leading security platform with the launch of Command Centre v9.30, introducing the new OneLink cloud connectivity. This powerful feature allows remote Gallagher Controller 7000 devices to connect directly to a central server via the Gallagher Cloud. It eliminates the need for VPNs, static IP addresses, or complex network infrastructure. OneLink represents a major advancement in simplifying remote access control. It enables organisations to securely manage multiple sites including regional, remote, or infrastructure-intensive locations from a single Command Centre server, all while reducing IT complexity. “This is one of the most important updates we’ve seen in years,” said a Ruswin representative. “Gallagher’s new cloud feature removes the barriers that have traditionally made remote site connectivity expensive and complicated.” What Makes OneLink a Game Changer? Secure cloud-based communication between Controller 7000s and the Command Centre server No VPNs, static IPs, or corporate WANs required Simplified and scalable architecture for remote and multi-site access control Reduced costs and faster deployment Ideal for healthcare, mining, energy, logistics, critical infrastructure, and multi-branch organisations. Controller 7000: Built for Cloud, Built for Scale The Gallagher Controller 7000 is purpose-built for this next generation of cloud-enabled access control. It replaces the older 6000 series with more power, greater capacity, and full OneLink compatibility. What’s improved over the Controller 6000: Faster processors for handling complex site logic More supported doors, inputs, and outputs Advanced security features and encryption standards Native support for OneLink cloud connectivity Time to Upgrade Legacy Hardware Organisations still using older Gallagher Controller 3000, 5000, or GBUS systems will need to upgrade to take advantage of Command Centre v9.30 and the new cloud capability. These legacy platforms are no longer compatible with the latest security features and cannot support OneLink. With a hardware upgrade to Controller 7000 and renewal of your Gallagher Software Maintenance Agreement, your system gains: Full access to v9.30 and OneLink Modern security compliance and future upgrade pathways Reduced infrastructure burden and centralised control Long-term support and improved reliability?

Enhancing Security: The Strategic Advantages of Electronic Key Safes
In the ever-evolving landscape of security solutions, one specialized storage device stands out as a crucial safeguard for keys – the Electronic Key Safe, also known as a key cabinet. Tailored explicitly for the secure storage of keys, this advanced storage solution incorporates electronic components, elevating key protection to a whole new level. Advanced Security Measures The distinguishing feature of an Electronic Key Safe lies in its integration of electronic control mechanisms, providing superior security compared to its mechanical counterparts. Access to the keys is exclusively granted through an electronically controlled access system operated by a computer. This advanced technology enables precise monitoring of key access and return activities, including identifying individuals and recording the time of access. Noteworthy Security Benefits The implementation of an Electronic Key Safe brings forth several noteworthy security benefits, revolutionizing the way businesses manage their key-related activities: Tracking Key Access and Return TimesThe system maintains a comprehensive record of when keys are accessed and returned, creating a clear trail of key activity. This real-time tracking capability enhances accountability and provides an invaluable tool for security monitoring. Identifying Individuals and Securing Company AssetsBy recording key access events, the Electronic Key Safe allows for the identification of individuals who have accessed specific keys and the assets they protect. This level of transparency enhances accountability and strengthens the security of company assets. Individual and Asset-Based Key Access RegulationThe system provides precise control over key access, allowing restrictions to be set on an individual basis and for specific company assets. This ensures that only authorized personnel have access to designated keys and areas. Prevention of Unauthorized Entry and Asset AccessWith its robust security features, an Electronic Key Safe effectively prevents unauthorized entry into restricted areas and unauthorized access to valuable assets. This proactive measure adds an extra layer of protection to your premises and sensitive resources. Industry Applications While Electronic Key Safes are particularly sought after in industries with stringent security requirements, such as mining, government, and military sectors, their benefits extend to businesses across various sectors aiming to regulate key access and enhance overall security. Investing in Certainty By investing in an Electronic Key Safe, businesses gain a comprehensive record and audit trail of all key-related activities. This not only significantly enhances overall security but also provides a reliable means of tracking and verifying access to premises and assets. Heightened security and a greater sense of certainty regarding the protection of keys and restricted areas are the invaluable returns on this strategic investment. Choose the advanced security of Electronic Key Safes for a future where key protection is seamlessly integrated with cutting-edge technology.

Safeguarding Your Business: The Vital Role of Restricted Key Systems
In the ever-evolving landscape of business security, one term has emerged as a beacon of control and assurance – the Restricted Master Key System. But what exactly does this system entail, and how can it elevate the security of your business to unprecedented levels? At its core, a Restricted Key System is a sophisticated security solution that revolutionises traditional key mechanisms. The standout feature lies in the fact that only an authorised locksmith can cut a key within this system. Additionally, the duplication process mandates verification by nominated personnel, individuals with a signature on file. This meticulous procedure acts as a formidable security measure, strategically implemented to prevent any attempts at unauthorised key duplication. The pivotal benefit of a Restricted Key System is the unyielding control it grants to the key holder. By entrusting key cutting solely to authorised locksmiths and requiring verification from designated personnel, businesses can effectively halt the unauthorised replication of keys. This stringent protocol places absolute control of the keys in the hands of the signatory, empowering them with complete authority over access to their business or complex. The significance of this security measure becomes even more apparent when considering its role in preventing unwanted key duplication. By implementing a Restricted Key System, businesses fortify their defences against the potential compromise of security through copied keys. This proactive approach ensures that the signatory retains full charge of their business keys, fostering a heightened sense of security for both the premises and valuable assets within. Ruswin, a trusted name in security solutions since 1972, stands as a reliable provider of Restricted Key Systems. These systems, designed and registered by manufacturers to prevent unauthorised copying, come with industry-set restrictions that govern their use within the locksmithing community. The entire process is meticulously upheld to protect the authorized key holder and prevent any unwarranted duplication. In addition to Restricted Key Systems, Ruswin offers Master Key Systems tailored to the unique needs of each key holder. Operating on a key hierarchy system, this solution provides various levels of access: Great Grand Master Key: Access to all doors within the system (building). Grand Master Key: Groups of doors, such as an entire floor. Master Key: A selection of doors, like those in a specific department. Change Key: An individual key for a specific door, like an office within a department. Ruswin's expertise extends beyond four decades, with a team of keying experts dedicated to designing, manufacturing, and installing high-security Master Key Systems. In conclusion, the Restricted Master Key Systems provided by Ruswin not only guarantee a heightened level of security but also offer a comprehensive solution to control access within your business.
