Unified Solution for Most Security Breakdowns in Day-to-Day Operations

Property management security gets harder when you manage multiple properties with separate tools, limited onsite coverage, and constant activity across the day. 

  • In residential settings, the priorities are resident safety, privacy, and convenience across entrances, amenities, guest access, and parking. 
  • In commercial properties, the focus is on protecting high-value assets, intellectual property, and business continuity without disrupting tenant operations.

Unified Operations to Drive Higher NOI

Gaps appear when access activity, video, visitor workflows, and alerts are spread across different systems. Brivo Security Suite brings access control, video surveillance, visitor management, intrusion detection into one unified platform. Property teams can improve Net Operating Income (NOI) by reducing manual follow-up, limiting unnecessary site visits, and enhancing the security of the resident or tenant experience.

How to Reduce Friction in Property Management Security

Remote oversight helps you resolve questions faster, reduce disputes, and maintain clear, audit-ready records of what happened at each location.

Vacant units and turns

Manage move-outs and unit turns with scheduled, time-bound access for maintenance crews and cleaners. Use video to confirm entry and keep a clear digital record of door events and schedules for follow-up.

Leasing tours and guest entry

Streamline check-ins with Brivo Visitor Management, powered by Envoy, for both scheduled guests and self-guided tours. Enhance the guest experience with digital and mobile access and notifications to create an efficient, secure, and welcoming experience.

Vendors, deliveries, and packages

Set after-hours vendor access windows for delivery doors and package rooms, review related video, and track exceptions for follow-up.

Amenities and shared spaces

Apply schedules to gyms, pools, conference rooms, workspaces, and other common areas.  Having an audit trail and a video record helps managers resolve disputes and protect high-value assets such as gyms and pools after hours.

After-hours activity

Monitor after-hours activity, such as unusual loitering, alarm intrusion, or cleaning people activity.

Parking and gates

Manage vehicle and pedestrian entry with supported gate integrations, time-based permissions, and license plate credentials. Pair gate events with video and alerts, so teams can verify incidents faster and keep a clear, audit-ready record for follow-up.

Monitoring services for retailers

Brivo offers remote video monitoring for after-hours behavior and 24/7 oversight of access and intrusion events.

Parking and gates

Quick and Effective Management of Remote Access

Remote Access allows your dealer or Brivo Support to sign in to your Brivo Security Suite account to assist with configuration and troubleshooting. You can use it as needed to accelerate support for stores, warehouses, and distribution centers, then turn it off. You decide if and when it’s available, and authorized admins can toggle it on or off.

Common Questions About Property Management Security

More questions?

What is the difference between cloud-based security and legacy property management security?

Cloud-based access control for properties helps you manage doors and credentials, with permissions and schedules that are easier to update remotely than legacy on-site systems. Access control is one piece, but adding video analytics and history, workflows, and reporting provides real-time alerts and helps you verify what happened and document follow-up across locations. Cloud solutions easily scale as you expand and are more compatible with innovative AI. 

In addition, video analytics can identify and alert you to unusual events such as loitering, gun detection, or illegal dumping. Cloud-based security brings access, video, intrusion, visitor, and incident management all in one suite, versus a fragmented system requiring multiple logins. By combining these solutions, property managers can be proactively alerted to risky events, such as a gun on the premises, and activate a lockdown.

Where should property managers prioritize security coverage first?

Start where disputes, safety concerns, and after-hours activity concentrate: main entrances and lobbies, package rooms, parking and gates, and high-traffic amenities. Add coverage at service entrances, loading areas, and staff-only spaces where vendors or deliveries come through. If intrusion alarms or monitoring are part of your program, prioritize zones that should never be active after hours.

How do you manage vendors after hours without sharing keys or codes?

Use time-bound access windows tied to specific entrances, and pair entry with video at the door so teams can confirm arrival and departure without guesswork. Visitor workflows can also document who was expected on-site, when, and who approved the visit. Alerts for door-held or forced-open events help surface exceptions quickly.

How do audit logs help with incidents and residents' or tenants' concerns?

Strong incident documentation is more than door activity. A useful record includes entry history, visitor records (when used), alarm events, and the related video clip references so you can build a clear timeline. Incident management should have a collaborative workflow so teams can work together. That makes it easier to resolve package disputes, investigate after-hours issues, and share evidence with leadership or third parties when needed.
