I ended up getting a New Site Bundle Plus Kit as well as getting a bunch of gear from Ebay. Very keen to learn more about your system configuration etc.
Wow, that setup is awesome! I've never seen Gallagher installed in a house like that before, with everything so perfectly integrated. Cheers from Panama!
Very cool! You've given me a good few things to think about when building out my own home (current lab) system. It's worth keeping a saved search for eBay listings - I've got C6000's, readers, 8H modules etc for quite cheap from overseas. I'd be keen to hear more about how the system is integrated with Home Assistant. I have REST Events and Cardholders licenses on my home system but it's very expensive to add the others which it looks like I might need to get more integrations in place :(
Thanks for watching, eBay is great for picking up goods deals! not that common for listings to pop up though. In order to fully intergrade with home assistant You will also need REST Status and REST Overrides added to your license. my friend has built a custom integration for home assistant so all you have to do is download the custom repository and link the API with home assistant. Detailed instructions can be found here: github.com/devnull-nz/Home-Assistant-Gallagher-Integration
@@FireAlarmNZ Cool - thanks for the info! How did you manage to get the REST Api licenses? Is it a perk of being a channel partner? I think I might have sold you the fence controller earlier this year. It would have been good fun to put into service but I couldn't really justify it for residential use :P
She really loves sitting on my laptop haha, SALTO is really nice and is natively supported by Gallagher. I was considering getting a gateway and wireless door lock but the idea of changing batteries makes me uneasy.
@@FireAlarmNZ aw cute! Oh really? I didn't know that it was supported. Yeah the battery changing is annoying, had a doors battery in a school need replacing every 3-4 weeks :/ - very annoying I've been looking at doing Unifi access for home though, seems like an interesting concept!
Wow thanks for the tour and explanation, we have the Gallagher system at my work but its looked after by another team. I see the Gallagher 6000 controllers you showed for sale on ebay, would it be possible for me to setup something like this at home if i can get the parts or would i need licences, support and so on?
How was the ease of configuring this system? I've looked at the Gallagher/Cardax platform before and it looked incredibly complicated. Can they be configured without needing to call a Gallagher servicer? Also, what is that piezo siren you're using on the system that activates during the security portion?
Man looks awesome, installed a new security system in our company's office last week although its an arrowhead system (peasant I know 😂) would've looked at one of those if I had the time. Can't imagine that system come cheap though? Love the little safe btw.
Nothing wrong with arrowhead! I really like the elite S series. The Gallagher commercial 6000 prices are slightly on the costly side compared to an entry level system but they have since released the SMB line up which is much more cost effective.
I am concerned that the Mag Lock and sliding Auto doors do not appear to have Emergency Door Release switches associated with them. Mag clamps will hold locked down to about 8vdc ie long after the Gallagher (or any other) controller has stopped. Whilst I appreciate that you have interfaced the Fire alarm into the system so should drop the power to the locks (I would hope you have not relied on a software power release). In its current state I don't think this installation would comply with the NZ Building Code for Means of Escape.
Nah that's long gone, I put in a Concept 3K system not long after making those videos. the Gemini was really nice though and was super easy to get up and running.
@@NZFireAndSecurity Yeah you do haha, we looked everywhere for that keypad when I gave it away but couldn't find it. if it ever shows up ill send it to you.

17:31 I love the look of that exit button where did you get it?

haha love the cat!
I am experienced in using SALTO, but this Gallagher access control seems very cool! Great video

I’ve been thinking about getting the Gallagher Starter Kit to muck around with!
Without the software it is useless they dont give it out easily
Cool system! Could you please do a full overview of your fire alarm system?
How is the controller software licenced?
Hi, love the vids but how do you source the command centre license and SMA. I have to request a demo license regularly.

You need licenses to run it even if you have the software.

What is the Fuse Board?, Does not look like a Gallagher one.
Nice cat what is the cat sitting on and what is it his or her name

Are you still using that napco gemini alarm system?
Nah that's long gone, I put in a Concept 3K system not long after making those videos. the Gemini was really nice though and was super easy to get up and running.
@@FireAlarmNZI’m about 95% sure I have your old napco board but don’t have the keypad 😢
@@NZFireAndSecurity Yeah you do haha, we looked everywhere for that keypad when I gave it away but couldn't find it. if it ever shows up ill send it to you.
@@FireAlarmNZalso, when you had that Napco Gemini system, what kind and model of transformer did you use to power that system?
Why tf is this in my recommended
