Unified Physical Security
Empower Store Managers and Teams with Intelligent Security Tools
Retail security is most effective when on-site personnel can respond quickly. Brivo gives managers and teams mobile-first tools and clear data so they can run day-to-day security with less friction or administrative work
Use mobile credentials for keyless entry
and issue, revoke, or update access in real time as schedules, roles, or store turnover change.
Set role-based permissions
for employees, vendors, and contractors, with clear access history to support audits and investigations.
Review analytics dashboards
to spot trends across locations, including chronic issues, unusual access patterns, and high-risk times.
Simplify incident response
by pulling the right access events and supporting video details in one place, making it easier to document issues and work with authorities.
Improve delivery oversight
with visible camera coverage to deter unwanted activity. Log arrivals — including delivery trucks, with license plate recognition where available — and tie each event back to a specific entrance and time.
Support loss prevention investigations
by identifying suspicious individuals and linking evidence to fraud or errors using integrated systems. Use visual insights to track customer patterns and monitor shelf inventory levels.

Common Questions About Retail Store Security Systems
Can retail security systems proactively detect threats, like a visible weapon?
Yes. Retail teams increasingly look for earlier warning, especially since U.S. retail locations saw 1,459 firearm-related incidents in 2024, slightly higher than the 1,417 incidents recorded in K-12 schools, based on Gun Violence Archive data reported by industry sources.
With AI-based weapon detection, such as Brivo Eagle Eye Gun Detection, cameras can detect a visible, brandished firearm and send verified alerts through a triple-layer verification process (AI analysis plus human review). Alerts can be routed to designated contacts and, where configured, to a professional monitoring center for escalation in accordance with your protocols.
How do Brivo retail store security systems prevent theft?
Brivo Security Suite provides loss-prevention teams with greater visibility and enables faster response time. It uses analytics to track trends such as unusual access attempts, internal theft, and unauthorized entries at irregular hours, enabling early detection of issues.
You can also set up real-time alerts and tie them to video, or link video to your point-of-sale terminals to turn flagged transactions into actionable data, with the video clip just a click away. Because activity is logged in a single system, it’s easier to investigate incidents and hold employees and vendors accountable. Learn more with our guide to retail security considerations.
Can I manage multiple store locations from one dashboard?
Yes. With Brivo, you can manage access across 10 or 10,000 locations via a single global dashboard. The Brivo Security Suite unifies security data into a single interface.
Brivo’s cloud-based model also supports multilocation control from a browser or mobile device, including the ability to revoke credentials and view live or recorded video across facilities.
To learn more, see our overview of multilocation security management solutions.
Will Brivo integrate with my existing cameras or alarms?
In many cases, yes. Brivo integrates with leading camera and video management systems, so you can bring access events and video into one place to correlate, verify, and investigate incidents faster.
Depending on your setup and integrations, you can also support capabilities such as license plate recognition for delivery and perimeter activity, verification of delivery truck arrivals, and response to potential threats via gun detection.
Brivo also offers high-performance cameras and an integrated video management system (VMS) with advanced AI-powered analytics and alerts, all accessible through the Brivo Security Suite.
How secure are staff's mobile access credentials?
Brivo supports secure digital credentials designed for mobile-first access, with role-based permissions and the ability to revoke access immediately when roles change.
Mobile biometrics and multi-factor authentication are available for doors and restricted areas (when configured), adding an additional layer of assurance beyond “who has the key.”
