Capabilities
A Complete Security Ecosystem for Universities
With Brivo, campus security teams can verify activity faster, respond with context, and manage the areas that matter most without extra work.
Access control for buildings, labs, and residence halls
Access control facilitates movement across residence halls, classroom buildings, and campus events. Leverage role-based access, multi-factor authentication (MFA) for select areas, and clear audit trails to manage on/off boarding and policy enforcement.
Video visibility for daily oversight and incident review
Video management systems provide context for daily operations and investigations. Teams can review events such as loitering, tailgating, theft, vandalism, crowd buildup, and weapons detection.
Mobile credentials for flexible campus access
Mobile credentials make it easy to update access as campus populations change. With student IDs in Apple Wallet, universities can provide flexible credentials for housing, academic spaces, and selected events.
Supporting residence hall and after-hours entry
Centralized management supports late-night entry, visitor access, emergency lockdowns, 911 integrations, and fast coordination during critical moments.
Flexible Access Management
Access for the Entire Academic Community
Campus security teams need a simple way to issue temporary permissions for guests, vendors, and short-term campus activities.
A centralized system supports the kinds of daily touchpoints campuses already manage, such as student movement through housing, dining halls, and libraries.
Brivo Visitor Management, powered by Envoy, helps teams preregister visitors and assign time-based access.

Common Questions About Campus Security Systems
What should a university's security system include?
A modern university security system should integrate access control, video surveillance, alerts, mobile credentials, campus identity, mass notifications and centralized management. That gives higher education security teams one place to manage doors and receive alerts. review activity, and respond faster when something changes.
How do campus security solutions improve residence hall safety?
Campus security solutions improve residence hall security by offering more control over who can enter and when. Role-based permissions, audit trails, and mobile credentials for campuses help housing teams keep access current and enable visual monitoring and review of after-hours activity with less manual work.
Can campus security solutions support emergency lockdowns?
Yes. A cloud-based campus lockdown system can help teams remotely secure selected doors, confirm and monitor activity via video, and coordinate campus emergency response from a single platform. That supports faster decisions during critical events.
How do I choose the right college security system?
The right security system should match daily campus operations, not just emergency scenarios. Look for flexible administration, scalable deployment, campus visitor management, operational efficiencies, and integrations that support safer workflows across housing, academics, and shared spaces.
