Gallagher Security has unveiled Command Centre v9.40, an update designed to improve capabilities for the Controller 7000 product range.
This new version focuses on enhancing scalability and system management, particularly for complex access control environments.
Enhanced controller features
The intro of Command Centre v9.40 facilitates an expansion in the Controller 7000's capacity
The introduction of Command Centre v9.40 facilitates an expansion in the Controller 7000's capacity, as confirmed by Gallagher Security Chief Executive, Mark Junge. This update allows for optional licencing enhancement, enabling up to 24 doors per controller compared to the previous limit of 10.
Mark Junge states, “This enhancement means larger installations can be managed with significant reductions in infrastructure costs and simplified system architecture.”
This expansion ensures that even at maximum capacity, performance remains optimal.
Increased scalability
The latest version supports a significant increase in HBUS readers from 20 to 40 and OSDP readers from 16 to 32, boosting the potential for larger sites.
Additionally, the number of supported inter-controller communications has risen from 60 to 100, accommodating more elaborate networks without degrading performance, as noted by Junge.
Proactive system management
Command Centre v9.40 raises Lock Cycle Counting, a tool designed to predictively manage lock maintenance
Command Centre v9.40 introduces Lock Cycle Counting, a tool designed to predictively manage lock maintenance.
Jim Rayner, Gallagher Security Senior Product Manager, explains, “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.”
Cloud integration and security
Another feature of v9.40 is its integration with Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on, enabling secure authentication through OpenID Connect.
According to Mark 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."
Command Centre v9.40 will be available for users starting 18 November 2025.
Gallagher Security continues to deliver on its promise of future-ready innovation with the release of Command Centre v9.40, introducing powerful new capabilities for the Controller 7000 product range.
This release marks a significant leap forward for Gallagher’s award-winning site management platform, with enhanced scalability, performance, and proactive system management, reinforcing Gallagher’s commitment to supporting complex, high-density access control environments.
Gallagher’s Controller 7000 product range
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 Mark.
Channel Partner and End User’s
Mark Junge added: “Importantly, even at full 24-door capacity, the Controller 7000 range maintains high performance and access responsiveness, even in the most demanding environments."
He continues, “When we launched the C7000, we said it was the platform for the future. With v9.40, we’re delivering on that promise. This release is a direct response to our Channel Partner and End User’s need for greater flexibility and scalability – and it’s just the beginning."
“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,” says Mark Junge.
Proactive maintenance strategies
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.”
Cloud-first identity strategy
Also available with v9.40 is Entra ID single sign-on. The Command Centre integration with Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on, enables secure and seamless authentication using OpenID Connect.
Mark Junge says, “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.”
Command Centre v9.40 is available from 18 November 2025.
