Parking Lot Surveillance for Secure Properties and EV Charging
Vehicles and charging infrastructure are high-value assets — and largely unattended. Brivo Security Suite gives you complete control over your parking lots, garages, and charging stations with a cloud-based platform that combines access control, video surveillance, license plate recognition, and real-time monitoring in one place.
Manage every entry point remotely, track every vehicle that passes through, and use mobile credentials, cards, or fobs to control occupancy across every location — all from a single login.

Cloud-Native Protection
Optimize Parking Operations With a Unified, Scalable Platform
Whether it’s one location or a network of managed lots and garages, Brivo Security Suite provides a centralized, cloud-native platform to manage security across all garages and entry points. From parking gates to pedestrian entrances, you gain real-time visibility and reliable control without complexity. This helps you keep vehicles and people moving safely.

Centralized cloud command center
Manage all parking facilities from one dashboard and analyze parking patterns using data and visuals.
Cable-free camera deployments
Get video even in remote locations — no power, internet, or trenching required.
Remote video monitoring
Use AI and human review to optimize overnight guarding resources and ensure immediate action is taken when needed.
Flexible credentials
Give staff, tenants, and monthly parkers easy access, including mobile credentials, cards, fobs, and license plates.
Secure API integrations
Connect with external property management, payment, and other business systems to extend parking operations into a broader ecosystem.
Centralized Management
Gain Total Oversight of Your Parking Sites From Anywhere
Combating vehicle theft, parking violations, or unwanted loitering across multiple locations and facilities can become complicated fast. And if you rely on fragmented or outdated tools that don’t provide a complete picture, silos will continue to grow.
Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations operate in an environment where reliability is non-negotiable. Every station — whether it hosts 10 charging points or 1,000 — contains cabling and equipment vulnerable to theft, vandalism, weather, and mechanical failure.
Receive AI-powered alerts when activity occurs after hours or in unauthorized areas, so you can respond remotely in real time. You get consistent oversight across every garage, gate, and entrance as your footprint grows.
Brivo Security Suite helps you standardize access policies, improve traffic flow, and monitor activity from one dashboard.

Capabilities
Empower Parking Staff With Intelligent Insights and Real-Time Alerts
Security is more than just providing forensic evidence in the aftermath of a crime or an injury. AI-powered features inside Brivo Security Suite can improve traffic flow, reduce routine gate calls, improve safety, and add visibility across facilities.
Get context around access events
Link video to access events and use smart search to instantly verify incidents. Add sensors for a complete, unified view of your data.
Track and automate entry and exits with LPR
AI-powered LPR technology turns cameras into highly accurate license plate readers without having to purchase expensive specialized cameras. Use this information to automate parking access and search through history to find specific plates, times, and locations.
Issue credentials easily, including mobile
Empower your staff to create and deactivate mobile credentials, cards, and fobs for frictionless entry and staff verification.
Track usage to find trends
Analyze patterns and incident data to optimize staffing, strengthen enforcement, and automate reporting.
Get real-time alerts and respond remotely
Leverage AI-powered features to optimize your security footprint and streamline operations. Receive instant notifications for unauthorized access, forced entries, or hotlisted vehicles, and respond immediately from a single console or your mobile device.
Respond quickly to emergencies
Enable proactive security with real-time alerts and two-way audio to deter trespassers. Use Brivo Eagle Eye 911 Camera Sharing to automatically provide emergency responders with live video during critical incidents.

Common Questions About Parking and EV Charging
What is a Brivo License Plate Credential (LPC)?
Brivo License Plate Credential lets you use a vehicle’s license plate to enter a gated parking using the Brivo Security Suite.
An administrator assigns the plate in Brivo Access, and the system uses a license plate recognition (LPR) workflow to validate entry.
What is License Plate Recognition (LPR)?
Brivo Eagle Eye LPR is an AI-powered technology that transforms standard digital security cameras into highly accurate license plate readers without requiring expensive, specialized LPR hardware. It allows you to automate entry and exit points, track vehicle history, and manage access policies from a single cloud dashboard.
What hardware or cameras do we need for license plate access?
Brivo License Plate Credentials can be deployed with Brivo Eagle Eye Pro Cameras. We recommend the DB14 for license plate recognition; however, the solution also works with other ONVIF IP cameras that meet the minimum requirements.
Camera guidelines (for better plate reads):
- Fixed camera with a tighter field of view aimed at the lane
- High-resolution imaging (1080p or higher)
- Infrared or low-light optimization for nighttime conditions
How does a vehicle get authorized in Brivo?
An administrator authorizes a vehicle by entering its license plate as a credential in Brivo Access and assigning it to a user profile. Once it’s set up, the plate characters are stored on that user profile, and the integrated workflow uses that credential to validate the vehicle for entry.
What happens if a plate isn’t read correctly?
If a plate is obscured or not registered, the system won’t validate it for entry. It’s recommended to have a backup reader at the entry point so authorized users can still enter using an alternative credential, such as a mobile credential, card, or fob.
Can this integrate with my parking management system?
Absolutely. Brivo is an open platform with an open API designed to connect with external applications. This allows for integration with various parking management applications to extend your operational ecosystem.
Can we tie license plate events to video for verification and investigations?
Yes. Brivo automatically captures and stores video for every entry, so teams can verify what happened and keep evidence tied to the access event. This is a core benefit of the unified Brivo Security Suite, which merges access control events with video surveillance data.
How can Brivo increase overall security beyond LPR and Access?
Brivo provides proactive surveillance using AI to deter crime before it happens:
- Remote perimeter security: The Anywhere Cabinet System uses solar power and cellular connectivity to provide video and AI alerts in remote lot areas without the need for trenching or dedicated data lines.
- Theft and Vandalism Prevention: Advanced AI analytics like Eeva act as a virtual guard, watching for specific behaviors like copper cable theft or equipment vandalism.
- Unified intelligence: Features like Smart Video Search and Precision People & Vehicle Detection allow you to instantly find incidents across all locations from one login.
