July 2010 - Physical Access Control in a Box
The word "appliance" conjures up images of sturdy tools and machines, workhorses of kitchen and garage, invested in once, then operating for years with little maintenance and not much thought. That's an analogy vendors of physical access control (PAC) appliances find quite applicable to their products. "Our nickname for the product was 'toaster,' said John Szczygiel, executive vice president, Brivo Systems, which formally introduced its OnSite Aparato PAC appliance in June.
May 2010 - Managed Services - Darling of RMR
Managed and hosted access control is a game changer—the stimulus if you will—to really drive this market home. The timing for what sources refer to as this ‘paradigm shift’ is critical, because recurring monthly revenue (RMR) is at stake, as is the model of the traditional installing company. As products become increasingly commoditized across the board, integrators can no longer make the higher profit margins they had been accustomed to from installing hardware alone or from long-term monitoring contracts. They need new avenues of RMR and managed and hosted access control is one way to get it.
April 2010 - Cloud Computing and Software as a Service: An Overview for Security Professionals
The traditional electronic security industry, whose origins are rooted in the burglar alarm, is now moving very rapidly toward more complex networked systems and information management. Much discussion has occurred about the role of IT and physical security and the need to work closely together to manage and deliver efficient and risk appropriate security systems for the benefit of organizations. Much of this discussion has occurred around the developing framework for enterprise security risk management and convergence.
February 2010 - Integrating security systems using XML and APIs
The days of security systems operating in splendid isolation from other organizational systems are over. Customers are increasingly demanding that security system components interoperate with each other, with their IT systems, and with a host of other systems ranging from HR to marketing to building automation. They are not content to use outmoded, patchwork technologies to accomplish such integration. Rather, they are insisting on compliance with industry standards, open interfaces, and network-friendly, IP-based solutions that leverage existing resources to their best advantage.
February 2010 - Residential property management firm chooses Brivo for access control
Until recently, Osgoode Properties’ security system was a mish-mash of security software and systems with no central management or integration on a meaningful level. A third-party management company called Briarlane, which takes care of Osgoode’s Toronto property, had solved its security problems through Double Vision Group Inc. (www.doublevision.ca ), a local security provider which had recommended and installed a Brivo access control system.

December 2009 - The 5Cs of Security as a Service
Physical and logical security is among the top priorities for most organizations today. Having a sound risk management plan for security is as basic as having a sales and financial strategy. However, security seldom contributes to the bottom line and as such Chief Security Officers (CSOs) and Chief Information Officers (CIOs) must find ways to ensure they contribute as much as possible while consuming the fewest resources possible. To understand the potential impact of Security as a Service, we will explore the 5 C’s in depth—the five areas that are of strategic importance to all organizations

Brivo Systems introduced an integrated, online video recorder (OVR) that streams IP video from customer locations to a secure Web platform. The service complements the OVR WebService launched at the ISC West trade show.
April 2009 - How to Expand your Security Efficiency by Linking Building Access Control with Parking Management
Access control and parking management often have, at best, an arms-length relationship in facility planning and security. Revenue-generating parking management solutions typically use different hardware, different software, and different computer systems than the access control systems found in the structures surrounding the parking facility. For many applications, this expensive and unproductive duplication of equipment and credentialing can be avoided by extending the scope of access control systems to include the parking garage or lot. The astute access control integrator can now pick up a job that might otherwise have gone out to a stand-alone parking system installed by someone else.
April 2009 - Brivo's Video SaaS
From "Security Squared" - "One of the big integration news stories out of ISC West Wednesday was Brivo System's addition of a hosted video recording application that meshes with its hosted access control application. With Wednesday's announcement, Brivo is incorporating a surveillance component--the ability to correlate an access-related event to a video recording of that event--into the hosted access control application. It provides smaller enterprises, especially those with a number of locations, an integration capability that until now has only been within reach of much larger users."
April 2009 - Brivo Adds Video Hosting
From "Security Systems News" - "Had a great conversation with Brivo’s Steven Van Till just now. Here at the show they’re unveiling a hosted video offering whereby you just plug in an Axis camera that knows how to 'phone home,' and it automatically finds the Brivo access panel and integrates with it. You can store up to seven days of video and export your own video clips."
April 2009 - Security From The Cloud
“Make us safer on a shoestring” was the message Paul Petrenko received from elected officials of the village of Hoffman Estates, Ill., in the days after Sept. 11, 2001. As facilities manager for the suburban Chicago village, Petrenko shared the officials’ concerns about securing water treatment plants, equipment storage areas and other village property.
December 2008 - Brivo Among SSI's Top 30 Technology Innovations of 2008
From "Security Sales & Integration" - “What happens when you mix the power of an access control system with the Web 2.0 flexibility of the Internet? You get a product that adds several extra dimensions to the conventional access control system. This is the case with the ACS OnSite™ system from Brivo of Bethesda, Md. I was impressed with the versatility of the ACS OnSite system. No longer do you have to have a dedicated PC and equipment location for a card access system. This system is Web-based and can be securely accessed from anywhere in the world with the proper credentials.”
September 2008 - Brivo and DD Franchise Group Win ST&D 2008 Innovation Award
From "Security Technology & Design" - “The Innovation Award “Gold Medal” winner, selected by a panel of security industry experts including ST&D editor/publisher Steve Lasky, represents a security application that included multiple technologies to solve some of the unique problems in a low-margin retail environment—the security upgrade of DD Franchise Group, owner of multiple Dunkin' Donuts franchises in the New Jersey area. Ever Santana, vice president of operations for the DD Franchise group, spearheaded the effort to secure multiple retail outlets and a central baking facility. The project, submitted by access control provider Brivo, scored high marks with the judges in the three major categories of innovation, collaboration and project scope.”
May 2008 - Parking Snatcher Solution
From "Security Management" - “Breckenridge, Colorado, is a skiing paradise. Annually, enthusiasts from around the world flock to the town nestled in the majestic, snowcapped Rocky Mountains. One of the area’s prime resorts is The Village at Breckenridge, consisting of 235 residential units, plus commercial units and retail shops. Built during the late 1970s and early 1980s, The Village sits at the end of the quaint Main Street at the base of Peak Nine. The resort has many attractions, but it was the parking lot, because of its convenient location within a short walk of the ski lifts, that unauthorized users found irresistible.”
November 2007 - Brivo Named a "Show Stealer" at the 2007 ISC East Conference & Exposition
From "Security Sales & Integration" - “At the Brivo booth, President and COO Steve Van Till had about 10 minutes to convey the power and flexibility of the Brivo ACS, but where Rainey’s interest was really piqued was Steve’s explanation of the limitless potential of the new XML API. The XML interface enables integration between Brivo access control systems and previously unavailable end-user silos of important, highly actionable data.”
October 2007 - Brivo Awarded Innovative Achievement Award from Sweden-based Detektor
From "Detektor International" - “ACS WebService from Brivo (USA) is a fully IP-based access control concept, based on an open platform, with an advanced concept of services which offers full control features with a number of functions for organisations with geographically spread multi sites. The DIA-jury: “This remote multi-site management service concept offers a powerful solution for access control. No need for software or servers. A computer and a Web browser is all that is needed for a flexible solution with maximum security accessibility for any facility anywhere at anytime”.”
September 2007 - Web-Hosted Access Control: The Business Case
From "Security Technology & Design" - “Web-hosted access control is significantly gaining in popularity. Companies that choose a Web-hosted Access Control System (ACS) often cite the simplicity of the solution and the appeal of always having the newest features — without loading and upgrading software or needing a dedicated PC. Being able to manage remote sites from a single account is another plus, and accessing the system over the Internet using a standard Web browser means the system is always close by and user-friendly.”
June 2007 - Clemson Feeds Visitors Through Access Control
From "Security Director News" - “It was literally a case of out with the old and in with the new for the Clemson University Livestock Poultry Health Program in May as the center installed a new access control system. The facility, which has four agricultural departments and receives nearly 200 visitors per day, installed Brivo System's ACS WebService access control system, replacing its magnetic stripe system that was installed only on exterior doors and was controlled by a single computer. Security can now control access with a Web interface that can be accessed from remote terminals. The new solution controls five exterior doors and several interior doors to divide access areas within the building.”
June 2007 - Full Monitoring Menu Awaits You
From "Security Sales & Integration" - “A recent survey found that 85 percent of all alarm monitoring customers do not have any form of access control. Central station software can now be integrated with remote access control software, thereby allowing the central station to provide access system data management to existing monitoring customers… Another option is offered by Bethesda, Md.-based Brivo Systems, with its econtrol Online Access Control™ system. Even though the central station monitors the access control alarm points, the customer at the Web 2.0-based head-end can perform the data entry, thereby reducing central data entry labor and liability.”
April 2007 - From Outdated to Updated
From "Access Control & Security Systems" - “Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport has more than 180,000 take-offs and landings each year, is home to a number of flight and helicopter schools, and is the North American headquarters for Pilatus Business Aircraft. At any one time, the Brivo system manages more than 2,300 active security cards being used by airport and related personnel as well as service providers to airport businesses…Brivo panels are installed at all 13 airport gates. Eleven of the gates are controlled by the wireless (cellular) version of the control panel, and two of them are controlled by IP-based controllers. Brett and his staff do a monthly audit to maintain control over the changing population of more than 2,300 badgeholders. In addition, the system is programmed to provide redundant alerts – to Miller and staff, and to the 24-hour agent-on-duty's cell phone – in the event of gate failures. Such event notifications, set up by a system administrator, may be delivered
March 2007 - Building the Architecture
From "SDM Magazine" - “Some manufacturers offer Web-hosted access control, in which a company’s access control system is managed by a third party. In this category is Brivo Systems LLC, Bethesda, Md., which offers this service to its customers for a monthly fee. The architecture of the access control system is similar to others. Access intelligence is in the controller and authorized persons are allowed access based on the database in the controller. Steven Van Till, president and COO, Brivo Systems explains “[It] goes out over a wireless cellular network, if they have a wireless control panel, or it goes out over the Internet, and the record goes back to the central database in a data center in northern Virginia. That part is unique to Brivo, that it is reported to the data center and through a central repository, rather than through a local server or PC on the same premises as the control panel and the facility itself,” Van Till maintains.”
March 2007 - Leaders in Access Control: An Exclusive Security Dealer Roundtable
From "Security Dealer" - “Steve Van Till, President and COO, Brivo Systems states, “When properly managed, access control keeps the “bad guys” out and lets the “good guys” in. That’s the first step in providing enhanced security, but this assumes you can always tell the bad guys from the good guys. That’s why an increasingly important function of access control is keeping records of events, and being able to correlate them with other security systems such as camera surveillance and photo ID databases. Coupled with offsite storage of such data or the use of a hosted security service—which guards against insider attacks on data systems—it should be possible for access control systems to play a valuable forensic role, even if their primary role—keeping the wrong people out—has been subverted.”
February 2007 - Y2K + 7.3-11: Are You Prepared for the March 11, 2007 Time Change?
From "Security Sales & Integration" - “Access Control Systems (ACS) can also be a problem for users. ACS derive their time data from one of three sources: From the firmware on a stand-alone system, from the Windows® based computer connected to the ACS, or via a radio signal on a web-hosted system connected to a local cell phone tower. Steve Van Till, CEO of Brivo, Inc. stated, “This is nothing more than a simple data transfer which occurs between Brivo's hosted applications and control panels, just like any other data transfer that is part of daily operations. Our ability to perform this type of maintenance seamlessly on behalf of our dealers and their customers is another example of the architectural strength of Brivo's web-hosted access control system.”
February 2007 - The Last Word
From "Security Products" - “Integrator Advent Automation suggested 3H turn to the ACS WebService from Brivo to help ease access control concerns. After installing six ACS4000 and ACS5000 panels that control more than 20 readers, Brivo's system secures external and internal doors and manages access for employees, sub-lease tenants, vendors and visitors. And with the system, 3H was able to evolve its access control system from a lock and key to something heard frequently today in security circles -- convergence. "The Brivo system is very user friendly and intuitive," according to Dan Aide, 3H’s facilities manager. "I programmed the system to send a daily e-mail summarizing all the previous day's access activity. When I come in each morning, I do a quick check to follow up on any suspicious or irregular activity. It takes five minutes, it's not time consuming or tedious at all. We're a software company and this is a great application. We've been very pleased with the effectiveness and eas
January 2007 - Why Not Wireless Access Control?
From "SDM Magazine" - “When we started in this business, all our products were wireless, so every installation was a wireless one,” notes Steve Van Till, president and COO, Brivo Systems LLC. “That was in 2002, and many of those systems now are approaching five years in age. If you go back five years, broadband was not as ubiquitous as it is today, so many people chose to outfit with wireless gear,” he relates. “But now they no longer need wireless because they have broadband. Now there are multiple migration paths depending on individual circumstances.”
January 2007 - Industry Innovations: Products Available in English, en Français, en Español
From "Security Magazine" - “Trilingual products are becoming more and more prevalent in today’s market, and Brivo has joined the pack with the release of Version 1.0.2h of the Brivo ACS OnSite A pplication. This version brings two new functions to the standalone control panel to enhance access control management: group-activated schedules and two-factor credentials. Version 1.0.2h supports Spanish and French as user interface options, greatly increasing the markets and usability for this highly successful new product.”
December 2006 - Leaders in Access Control: An Exclusive Security Dealer Roundtable
From "Security Dealer" - Steven Van Till, President and COO, Brivo Systems states, “All system design begins with user requirements...All of them work to varying degrees. For the integrator, the two most important things to focus on are the understanding that end user requirements are constantly evolving. Select a design method that fits your own and the client's corporate culture...In terms of specific technologies, the integrator should select vendors who provide the types of platforms that readily lend themselves to customization and adaptation. Web-based technologies come immediately to mind, because these vendors can update code on their servers and provide new features to their integrators' customers without the need to release a new product or install new software at customers' sites. Such a level of flexibility meets the real world demand to adapt to continually changing end user requirements.”
December 2006 - MARKET TRENDS: The era of ease of use
From "Security Systems News" - “Brivo has evolved from an IT company that wanted to make it easy for you to receive packages when you weren't home into a web-based access control product that allows you to manage your access control system anywhere in the world through a web browser. Perhaps because of its early days as a consumer-targeted company, Brivo possesses “a design aesthetic based on pure simplicity,” Steve Van Till said. It's Brivo's opinion that end users won't put up with software that offers a number of arcane features, but isn't transparent.”
November 2006 - Internet-based Access Control: From Dot-com Service to Brivo Inside
From "ASMAG.com" - “Brivo Systems, a Bethesda, Maryland-based provider of Internet-based access-control systems, is among the pioneers bringing the often-staid security industry into the Internet era. Brivo's story begins with a promising dot-com startup, which took a few knocks along the way, and ultimately emerged into the security market as a valuable player. The company reinvented itself in response to market conditions and even bigger opportunities.”
November 2006 - PATHWAY TO THE FUTURE: INTEGRATION AT EVERY TURN
From "ASMAG.com" - “As integration leads the way for access control, definitions are changing. Limitations are becoming obsolete and proprietary stand-alone systems are no longer the only option. This month, A&S takes an inside look at companies like Brivo...to find out the new standards being established across the board for integrated access control, and the criteria for choosing the most suitable product or distribution channel...These days, becoming more open is pretty much the way everyone is integrating everything from websites to HR systems to security. It is becoming the universal language people use to integrate computer systems, explained Steve Van Till, President of Brivo.”
November 2006 - Illinois Village Uses Web-Enabled Access
From "Security Technology & Design" - “The Village of Hoffman Estates , IL, is using Brivo Systems' advanced Web-enabled and wireless access control system to enhance security for key buildings and critical infrastructure over its 26-square-mile area. Brivo ACS4000 Web-enabled panels and readers are installed at the police station, and Brivo wireless panels have been installed to control access to the Village's water towers and chlorine facility. The Village has been able to mix and match transmission technologies to best fit their needs.”
September 2006 - Media Center In the News Brivo Among SSI's Top 30 Technology Innovations of 2008 Security Sales & Integration, December 2008 SSI 2008 Top 30 Technology Innovations “What happens when you mix the power of an access control system with the Web 2.0 flexi
From "SecurityInfoWatch.com" - “Brivo’s access control platforms have always managed to always managed to introduce unique features. One of the things that really caught my eye from the ACS line (both the OnSite product and the web-hosted platform) was that the access system is immediately applicable for a multi-office environment, enabling a landlord or parent company to manage facility access control as a whole, but also to create different rules, groups and zones so that an individual property's access control doesn't have to be a standalone system. To give you an example, the leasing company could control the access rules for main entrances (and be the only user able to change adjust those rules), and still allow other businesses within the building to specify their own rules for the access rights within their suite. Another strong suit for the Brivo ACS systems is that the user interfaces are quite simple to learn, which means the system could be easily managed by a company's CEO
September 2006 - Technology at Work: CHURCH DOORS UNLOCKED REMOTELY OVER THE INTERNET
From "SDM Magazine" - “Initial Electronics, Alsip, Ill., was chosen to install the ACS5000-E two-reader Ethernet-based control panel from Brivo Systems LLC, Bethesda, Md., for the main door, rear entrance and a supply room closet in Bethel United Church of Christ…. Additionally, the sanctuary doors were placed on door timers to eliminate the need for someone to open them physically. “Web-hosted access control was key for their application because it allows them to control their doors from any Web-browser without having to come to the church,” explained Dan Cosgrove, Initial Electronics’ account executive. The ACS system automatically aggregates all customer data and management controls into one centralized system. It eliminated the costly chore of building a wide area network to link databases.”
August 2006 - Spinning a Well Controlled Web
From "Security Dealer" - “Brivo ACS automatically aggregates all customer data and management controls into one centralized system. Adding, changing or deleting access credentials can be done on the fly, 24/7 thanks to the remote administration capabilities of the entire system from any web browser anywhere. The WAN-based ACS allows a company to network a single access control system for all its facilities, whether they are spread across town or across the world, and manage the entire system via a web-based interface.”
July 2006 - Browser Adds Geographic Flexibility
From "SDM Magazine" - “Using a Web browser rather than software on a user’s computer to integrate access control with other security functions is becoming an option with several systems. The advantage cited by Jim Lynch, director of product management, International Electronics Inc., Canton, Mass., is that the system can be monitored from any location through the browser and it eliminates loading of security software on a user’s computer system...Brivo Systems LLC, Bethesda, Md., uses browsers to control access control systems. They manage a central database on a set of server farms. The customer is not required to be connected to a specific personal computer or have any software on their computer. They have ultimate remote flexibility...”
May 2006 - Web Services and Features in Access Control
From "Access Control Trends & Technology 2006 Supplement, Security Technology & Design" - "Industry-wide consolidations, a focus on core competencies, advances in technology and the advent of the Internet have considerably changed the way many businesses operate...As the workforce continues to grow in all sectors, Web services for mission–critical applications are crucial to maintaining and improving productivity...Software applications are moving rapidly to fulfill theneeds of this new workplace by providing anytime, anywhere access to business–critical information and services...The expansion of secure Web applications in business and workflow management has set the stage for similar expansion into security applications such as access control.”
January 2006 - Surfing Your Building
From "Security Technology & Design" - “Using a browser-based user interface for access control has another clear advantage.…Brivo Systems offers an example of such a system, where local panels talk to a computer hosted by Brivo. All configuration of the system is done by the customer using a set of Web pages hosted by Brivo.…They update the software, back up the data and archive your history. “This solution is particularly good for companies with multiple small sites. There is no need to maintain a local computer or even to have a network to interconnect the sites,” remarked Bob Mosler, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Brivo.”
December 2005 - Total Access: Interview with Steven Van Till, Brivo Systems President & COO
From "SP&T News" - "Acceptance of the Internet for security applications is the biggest trend we have seen...You are seeing people using access control in places where they would never have thought of using it before...People are moving to Web browsers, getting away from dedicated PC applications and into a thin client [model] either on an existing piece of computer hardware that they own or perhaps a mobile device, which is becoming more important for security managers. It’s really neat that some of the bigger trends in IT are showing up in this industry and they are not lagging that far behind."
October 2005 - Upgrading and Updating Access Control Systems
From "Security Technology & Design" - "Some security companies, like Brivo Systems, offer their customers the opportunity to avoid dealing with software or computer upgrades. Brivo operates an ASP-based remote hosted system, where the entire computer aspect of the system is remote. They can connect to the field panels via dial-up, DSL, T1, or cellular wireless connection. Data can be accessed through a secure Web account using a standard browser. The big selling point for this service, according to Christie Walters, director of business development for Brivo Systems, "is the elimination of technology obsolescence, as Brivo users are not dependant on updates or upgrades."
September 2005 - Full Access
From "Security Technology & Design" - "... End-users no longer need to maintain their own hardware, nor do they need to continually upgrade their software...We're constantly updating our system, so our customers won't have to," said Bob Mosler, Senior Vice President of Sales for Brivo Systems.
December 2004 - Hot Developments in Remote Monitoring
From "Electrical Contractor Magazine" - "'The wireless and networkable solutions they offer give end-users a reliable access-control system, and administration is performed from any computer with Internet access. The price point that Brivo sets also allows us to enter a market that previously would have been lost due to excessive cost.'"
July 2003 - Off-Site But In Control
From "Access Control and Security Systems" - "Sampson [Koorsen Protection Services, Brivo Integrator] installed the Brivo system in two VEI buildings, allowing the company to gain remote control over the facilities. This enabled Astropp [VEI Administrator] to maintain a bird's-eye view over each facility and remove the operation of the system from the mercy of antiquated databases to produce access-event reports from the various VEI properties. VEI achieved dynamic credentialing via the Web, controlling each of its linked, remote properties from a central command station, and monitoring and reporting on access-related events through a secure platform ... The Brivo system seemed to relieve the false-alarm problem as well.
June 2003 - Wireless Finds a Place in Commercial Market
From "Security Systems News" - "The convenience and ease-of-installation that made wireless security products attractive for the residential market are now allowing this same technology to gain a foothold in commercial security and fire alarm applications. ... Scott Morton, senior director of marketing for Brivo Systems, said wireless 'can bring access control to those hard-to-reach places and do it cost effectively.'"
May 2003 - Brivo Inks Large Deal With ADT
From "Security Systems News" - "A year after hitting the market with its network-based access control system, Brivo Systems has inked its largest deal to date by signing an agreement with ADT Security Services ... The two companies began talking a year ago as ADT searched for a product that could provide an easy access control solution for national customers. Its really the first practical access control system for retailers because its web-based and it doesnt require on-site management ..."
May 2003 - Reaching the Top in Access
From "Security Magazine" - "... In the near future there will be integration of Web-hosted systems like Brivo ACS with hosted CCTV systems. This means a specific event that shows in the Web-based activity log of Brivo ACS will have a video icon beside it. This allows the administrator to pull up the DVR video record of the moments before and after the time stamp of a specified event. The convergence of these two systems provides an efficient indexing solution for the video that focuses on a specific event."
April 2003 - Trends in Access Control
From "Security Dealer" - "ADT Select Entry, powered by technology from Brivo Systems, Inc ... is ideal for applications where on-site management is unavailable to administer the system, such as in retail stores. ... Using a centrally controlled access control system, access to the store can be immediately denied to these individuals, thus providing a more secure environment for store personnel and reducing the likelihood of theft, vandalism or sabotage to inventory and property."
January 2003 - No High-Wire Act
From "Airport Magazine" - "One company, Brivo Systems, seems to be establishing an early beachhead in the small airport access control market. UltraSafe, the integrator at Fullerton, has used Brivo for security enhancement jobs at two other California airports, Redlands Municipal and Santa Monica. Virginia's Manassas Regional Airport, working with Fairfax, Virginia-based security specialists Orion Systems Group, is field-testing Brivo's system on its fuel farm, while ADT has packaged Brivo's system as part of a project for an unidentified airport in Maryland."
November 2002 - Flying High Without Wires
From "Security Management Magazine" - "Ultrasafe selected the wireless Brivo Access Control System, from Brivo Systems, Inc., because it offered strong access control while obviating the need for installation of hardwire ... Testing was performed at the site by the Ultrasafe technical staff over the course of a week in the summer of 2002 ... The test was a success, and the airport agreed to the installation of the system throughout the rest of the site."
March 2002 - Bioscrypt, Brivo Collaborate on Biometric Access Control
From "Access Control & Security Systems" - "Bioscrypt Inc., Mississauga, Ontario, has entered a technology and marketing collaboration with Brivo Systems Inc. ... to offer a Web-based biometric physical access control security solution. The complete offering will combine Bioscrypt's Veri-Series line of fingerprint biometric readers with the Brivo Access Control System, which uses secure wireless wide area networking (WWAN) to communicate to its application hosting center."
March 2002 - Remote Access Revolutionizing the Industry - NO LINK FIX
From "Security Magazine" - "By linking the Brivo Access Control System (ACS) panels to the Brivo hosting center — using secure wide-area wireless networking — Brivo is able to eliminate the dedicated PC. Furthermore, because the application is hosted at a secure location, Brivo is able to present administration controls via a secure SSL website. Now, the system — even if it is multi-site — can be managed from many Web browser, at any time."
