Dealer Corner Market Spotlight - Property Management The Brivo econtrol Online Access Control system is perfectly suited for property managers. The system can increase property marketability and tenant retention while reducing operating costs.
With the option of ACS
OnSite, Brivo's standalone system perfect for single facilities
even with multiple businesses, Brivo can truly meet the needs
of your property management customers. Read more about how well Brivo
can work for property managers. Recent Success Story Parkadon Management, Inc., oversees numerous apartment complexes in the New York Metro Area. Their core priorities are to provide safe, clean, and affordable housing to tenants at a low cost to the property owner. When Greg Doroski, assistant site manager of a Jersey City complex, realized their existing access control system was not supporting those priorities, he called on Professional Security Technologies of Nutley, NJ. The original system was intended to remotely connect via modem to Parkadon's New York City office, but ongoing communication problems and software malfunctions resulted in numerous service calls and sometimes left the buildings unsecured. Professional Security introduced Brivo's wireless access control solution. Greg was impressed by the seamless remote monitoring that Brivo's system provided and the ability to receive email and text message notifications from the system, even when he was not logged into the management software. Professional Security
Technologies had the new Brivo system up and running in one day.
"Goodbye modem, goodbye software, goodbye unlocked doors, and most
importantly, goodbye costly service calls," Greg said. The system
will reduce operating expenses while providing proper security for
Parkadon's tenants—with unprecedented ease-of-use for Greg and his
team. |

Speco Technologies Partnership Brings New DVR Options The addition of Speco Technologies' DVRs to the Brivo System means more options for Brivo customers. Now supported on ACS WebService is Speco's Triplex Digital Video Recorder Family, specifically the DVR-4TN, DVR-8TN, and DVR-16TN. Converting ACS OnSite Customers to ACS WebService The ability to convert from ACS OnSite to ACS WebService may help some potential customers feel confident about their access control choice. They can rest assured that if they need to add more locations or features such as elevator control or DVR integration, their investment wasn't wasted. Brivo's new order form includes the new data conversion service.

Feature Spotlight - Tenant Accounts ACS OnSite is a great choice when you need an access control system to be used within a single facility. Its ability to support Tenant Accounts make it ideal when that facility houses multiple businesses, as is so often the case for commercial property managers. The System Account manages the overall facility, such as lobby doors or parking garages. Tenant Accounts are set up within the System Account, and manage their own users, groups, and devices. When Tenant Accounts are created:
Tenant Accounts can be a
strong selling point for the Brivo system. Check out the ACS OnSite
Administrator's
Guide to learn more about how Tenant Accounts work in ACS
