Dealer Corner Brivo Bits
Feature Spotlight Dealer Corner Market Spotlight - Hospitality The hospitality industry has long understood the necessity of ensuring peace of mind for guests and safety for employees, and securing property and perimeters is just part of the hospitality industry's concern. And while beds and food are hotels' core competencies; parking is not; as a result, parking management is often overlooked. Brivo's online access control systems can help.

The Village at Breckenridge, Colorado (The Village) is a resort development comprising 235 residential and 28 commercial units. Nineteen different entities that include both professional property management firms and individual owners rent out the various units throughout the year. Parking spaces are at a premium, and agents renting out units could not guarantee a reserved parking space for guests. Neal Marcus of Securus introduced The Village to Brivo's XML API technology, which allows different systems to exchange data in the XML standard so they can "understand" one another. The XML integration enables the parking garage's access control system to be integrated with OnPark, Brivo's new online Web service. The online reservation system can also be integrated to manage reservations and credentials for such common areas as spas and fitness centers. Now, all rental agents use a common interface to assign parking, and guests receive a parking permit to display on their vehicles. Each permit has a microchip, which can be programmed remotely by the rental management agent. The chip can be programmed to contain a variety of data including the check in and check out dates corresponding exactly to their length of stay. And now the HOA has the capability to collect revenue for each parking space rented. | |

The new ACS5008-S expandable OnSite control panel accommodates up to three expansion boards, double the capacity of the ACS5000-S. The ACS5008-EXP expansion chassis accommodates up to four additional boards. The ACS5008-S is a slightly taller version of the ACS5000-S with additional knockouts and standoffs to accommodate three additional expansion boards. The ACS5008-S also ships with two batteries in order to provide the backup power required by the additional expansion boards. Other than these differences, specifications for the two are the same, so no new knowledge or training is needed for installation. The benefit is a smaller footprint—and less cost—than installing an ACS5000-S and an ACS5000-EXP to hold the same number of boards. This new option for ACS OnSite and OnSite SE follows the ACS5008-E, Brivo's Expanded Ethernet Control Panel, available for ACS WebService. For details on all Brivo options, contact your Regional Sales Manager. Take Advantage of OnSite SE™ Online Training Brivo is excited to announce the release of our new OnSite SE Online Training Course. The new course is designed to educate installers on the installation, operation, and configuration of the OnSite SE product. The course is self–paced, allowing for flexibility of busy schedules while eliminating the expense of traveling and classroom participation. The training course is available only to authorized Brivo dealers and is provided at no cost. To get started, complete the online registration form. After approval, you will receive a confirmation email that includes your registration details and login credentials. For additional information about the OnSite SE Online Training Course, please contact training@brivo.com.

Feature Spotlight - Badging ACS WebService™ has integrated badging capabilities that allow the creation of customized badges that can be used for identification as well as access control purposes. Brivo currently offers the Magicard Rio 2e and Alto card printers. Generating badges is a snap with the integrated badging interface. You can take pictures on the fly using the Logitech Orbit MP QuickCam®, or use existing images that are stored on your local PC. You can create badges using the existing standardized templates, or you can customize them with your company logo or other images. The ability to use a graphics file as part of a template means that you can create badges with virtually any type of background or image. This let you create highly customized badges for your organization, as well as different badges for different groups, such as color coding badges to identify visitors or different departments. No graphics specialist on hand? Let Brivo help. We can design your custom badge templates, creating images that can make your badges more functional and unique. For details on how to use badging in ACS WebService, visit the Technical Support section on www.brivo.com and go to Administrator's Guides. For information on our Custom Badge Design services, contact your Brivo Regional Sales Manager or download our Professional Services flyer. | |
