In 2021, that means making the office frictionless, integrated, convenient, and hygienic. How rethinking access control brings employees back to the workplace… **Content:** *If you build it, they will come.* Everyone is familiar with that heart-tugging line from *Field of Dreams.* When it comes to access control in 2021, that James Earl Jones quote takes on new meaning. If you build it, and make it frictionless, integrated, convenient, and hygienic, they will come back to the office. At least we hope they will. Whether staff and customers will come back is a particularly intriguing question in the banking and financial services industry. Even community banks are beginning to offer mobile apps that let customers remotely deposit, transfer, and view funds. Cash withdrawals from banks and ATMs have plunged during the pandemic. Some people haven’t used paper money in a year. Chains like Lululemon, Sweetgreen, and Nordstrom have largely eschewed cash. As offices reopen and branches return to normal hours and as the population gets vaccinated, physical security can’t be forgotten. Mask requirements will remain in place for the foreseeable future, and many people might never shed them in public. What does it mean for robbery prevention when every customer is wearing a mask? For now, many branches either severely limit occupancy—assuming that a robber won’t be willing to cool his heels outside for 10 minutes—or use security guards as social distance or access monitors. That’s not cost effective in the long run, though. Lasting health protocols mean that customers will expect barriers between them and bank staff, which is good news. Bullet-resistant windows will make a branch look more like a health-conscious facility than an armed encampment. In bank office facilities and in areas in branches that are off limits to the public, some financial institutions have retrofitted their access control systems with mobile apps, facial recognition, or fluid access. On-premises systems are giving way to cloud-based approaches, where upgrades, patches, and permission changes are centralized, removing responsibility from the bank’s IT team. Privileges can be quickly assigned, changed, or revoked for staff needing to access sensitive areas such as server rooms, the accounting department, or human resources. Even some community banks are making the jump due to ease of administration, lower lifecycle costs, and almost boundless integrations, including integrated Covid tools such as health screening and contact reporting. Access control doesn’t stop at physical spaces. Virtual doors to the network are every bit as important. The bigger money for criminals, and the lesser risk of capture, comes from plundering online accounts. Financial institutions are no stranger to cyber attacks. The cyber risk spectrum is broad and unprecedented, with [60 percent](https://www.msspalert.com/cybersecurity-research/financial-services-data-breaches-2019/) of the customer records that were compromised coming from financial services firms. While banks have invested heavily in cyber security tools and infrastructure to protect their assets and meet regulatory requirements, physical access control can sometimes be overlooked. Now, as financial institutions are gearing up for a return to normal following a year of increased remote work, greatly reduced branch traffic, and managing distressed financial assets, here are four steps to ensure the physical security program is ready to get back to work with your financial institution. ## **Four Steps to Prepare Physical Security Programs at Financial Services to Reopen:** **Step 1:** **Understanding and Communication** - Solicit feedback from staff on their concerns about returning to office - Hold virtual staff meetings encouraging staff to express fears - Check with staff members individually and by team - Involve staff in the discussion of proposed safety measures - Communicate with staff frequently and transparently about health and safety policies, procedures, and protocols - Set expectations before the return to the office or branch - Expect to tweak policies and procedures once workers return - Any policy or procedure changes should be immediately communicated - Consider implementing access policies based on vaccination or test results **Step 2: Health and Safety Solutions You May Want to Consider:** - Mobile access credentials to unlock doors with your phone - Other touchless access, such as face recognition - Touchless doors (foot pedals, automatic open, germ-resistant keys, etc.) - Health/Covid screenings prior granging entry–including possibly limiting based on vaccination status. - Occupancy tracking for office and retail locations - Plexiglass dividers between workstations and between employee and consumers in retail interactions. **Step 3: Upgrade legacy on-premises access control solution to a modern, secure, cloud solution** - Standalone access control - Access control integrated with other security features such as visitor management, video surveillance, and intrusion detection as part of a holistic proptech solution - Cloud offers more remote management options for the continuing hybrid work environment - Cloud puts administration in the hands of specialists, wherever they are. - System security - Updates and upgrades - Patches - Software health scans **Step 4: Ensure Identity and Access Management Best Practices Applied Across your Physical Security Platform** - Implement multifactor authentication (e.g. one-time passcodes; device biometrics on a smartphone and Google Authenticator code) - Ensure that policies are consistent and security robust throughout the enterprise—branches, back offices, satellite offices, headquarters, etc. - Apply a policy of least privilege, whereby staff only have access only what they need to do their jobs - Consider applying least privilege to certain times of day (e.g. bank staff might have 8 am to 6 pm access, while custodians and security officers may have after-hours access) While not a comprehensive list, these 4 steps are critical considerations as you work back to normal operations. And you’re likely to find that, if you build your return plan around these steps, your staff, customers, partners, and contractors are bound to come back.

What rebounding better looks like, and how to bring people back safely… **Content:** ## **When will we go back to the office?** For many employees, the idea of getting back to the office is a light at the end of the tunnel. Return to office life represents getting back to some form of ‘normalcy’–whatever that means post-COVID. The proverbial light is shining brighter today than it has in some time. [According to the CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/index.html), as of March 1, 2021, nearly 77 million doses of a vaccine have been administered, representing 15.3% of the total U.S. population. Last week, a [new vaccine was approved](https://www.jnj.com/johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine-authorized-by-u-s-fda-for-emergency-usefirst-single-shot-vaccine-in-fight-against-global-pandemic) for emergency use, providing more options and expanded vaccinations. States, provinces, and local governments are beginning to adjust local restrictions, expanding indoor dining capacity, allowing for larger public outdoor gatherings, and implementing plans to reopen schools. This is all exciting to see forward progress in rebuilding the economic engine and getting back to work. ## **Business Leaders are Challenged to Reopen the Office** Deciding to reopen is challenging for organization leaders to determine when, how, and to what degree they reopen their offices. Business leaders need help ensuring that they reopen their offices in a safe way for employees to return to work. Safely reopening not only means following health-safety guidelines but also ensuring that their employees feel confident that their work environment is safe to return. Business leaders also must ensure they can comply with the local jurisdiction’s occupancy requirements which may vary from company location to location. For example, in [Illinois](https://www.northstarmeetingsgroup.com/News/Industry/Coronavirus-states-cities-reopening-COVID-19-new-cases), there is a statewide ban on gatherings of more than 50 people (or 50 percent of a building’s maximum occupancy if the occupancy limit is less than 50). This ban is in effect and will likely be in effect until June 2021. Other states, such as Georgia, do not have occupancy restrictions for meetings. In contrast, others have different mandates or have left capacity planning to county or city officials[ based on their COVID metrics](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/states-reopen-map-coronavirus.html). **Introducing Occupancy Tracking for Brivo Access** Occupancy Tracking for Brivo Access is a new feature released today as part of our Winter Update. This impactful feature allows security and facility managers to set occupancy limits by site based on corporate or local policy requirements and track the number of people inside a facility. The feature also gives them visibility into the current occupancy and understanding as they reach their occupancy limits to make decisions around access. The Occupancy Tracking feature supports organizations that need to ensure compliance with the corporate and local government requirements–especially where there are multiple sites in various jurisdictions. ![occupancy management](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/occupancy.png) ## **How it Works:** - Administrators set occupancy limits per site within Brivo Access - Brivo will count entrants and calculate approximate occupancy based on rules within Brivo Access - Occupancy Management dashboard shows current occupancy levels for all sites - Administrators can take actions based on the current occupancy levels - Administrators can see a list of which users are currently on site ## **Brivo Facility Safety Features Support Reopening** Managing occupancy limits is a critical element in supporting the return to the office. That is why we believe the new Occupancy Tracking feature is a valuable extension to the [Facility Safety Features](https://www.brivo.com/facility-safety-features/) that Brivo launched in June 2020 to support organizations during the pandemic. These features helped organizations navigate the uncertainty of managing facilities and access to them. Additionally, the features provide excellent resources today to support organizations as they plan to reopen offices to employees. These features, including [User Contact Reporting](https://www.brivo.com/identify-exposure-to-a-covid-positive-individual-with-brivo-contact-reporting/), [Visitor Screening](https://www.brivo.com/screen-visitors-for-covid-19-using-brivo-visitor-reporting/), [mobile access, and self-screening](https://www.brivo.com/mobile-self-screening-a-critical-tool-for-a-more-hygienic-building/), allow organizations to provide a healthier and safer experience for employees, customers, students, and residents entering their facility. These features provide additional layers of screening and protection without breaking the bank as they mostly leverage existing Brivo technology deployed on-site with added capabilities. The addition of Occupancy Tracking to these Facility Safety Features provides additional tools for business, security, and facility managers to build employee confidence in a safe return to work as we begin to rebound better. **Categories:** Security --- ### [How to Make Smart Apartment A Resident Amenity](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/how-to-make-smart-apartment-a-resident-amenity/) **Published:** September 8, 2020 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Home has become our office, our staycation, our date-night spot—so it had better be smart. How to turn smart-apartment features into an amenity residents love and never want to leave… **Content:** Home is now the center of our world. Since quarantine measures were put into place, home has become everything: offices, staycation destinations, even dinner-and-a-movie date night spots. It is imperative now that we enjoy being home; to feel happy and content at home and to be able to interact with our homes easily. For those who are in multifamily communities like apartments and condos, available amenities are chosen for them by property developers and managers who make decisions on what will make their multifamily property the most valuable. But the bottom line is: giving residents that perfect home experience, their ideal place to live, is what creates the [most value for your multifamily property](https://www.brivo.com/resource-library/increase-property-value-with-brivo-smart-apartment/). Smart apartment technology is the amenity that makes that possible. ![market appeal of smart buildings](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/appeal-to-the-market-01.svg) In a survey done by The Real Deal and Wakefield Research, **61% of millennials**, the largest group of renters, are likely to rent an apartment specifically because of its electronic access features. These electronic access features fit into a larger and more comprehensive smart apartment ecosystem that makes interacting with multifamily communal spaces as well as their own apartment convenient, custom, and even cool. Integrating smart apartment proptech into multifamily properties transforms them into interactive spaces that residents will love to live in.

That encompasses everything from secure keyless access, mobile access to communal amenities like to the pool or gym, to controlling the temperature and lighting in their own apartment, to granting access to visitors at the front door of the building. Property managers are able to control, monitor and manage the property from their smart devices as well. They can manage everything from access to the front door of the building to leak and flood sensors in individual apartments remotely. The ability to control the multifamily property remotely also enables [self-guided tours](https://www.brivo.com/self-guided-tours/) for potential residents. Developers can glean insights from access data to communal amenities like pools and gyms to make more informed decisions on what tenants actually use. They can also rely on higher resident interest and retention rates as well as demand a higher rent leading to increased revenue.

In the event of an emergency anywhere within the district, the local 911 Dispatch Center can now access live video feeds from school security cameras in real time. This immediate visibility provides first responders with critical situational awareness, improving emergency response times and decision-making as incidents unfold. The technology enhances protection for students and staff while providing added reassurance to parents and the broader community. “This is a game changer for emergency services,” said Gene Good, 911 Operations Chief, Westmoreland County Department of Public Safety. “When a 911 call comes in near the school, dispatchers automatically receive a prompt that there’s a camera, and can immediately see what’s happening on the ground. This is a key component in providing safe schools.” “The safety of our students is our top priority,” said Jon Banko, Principal of the Valley Junior-Senior High School in New Kensington. “We want parents to feel confident that we are providing a safe and healthy environment for learning.” The comprehensive security system upgrade was a collaborative effort with local security integration firm [2Krew Security & Surveillance](https://2krew.com/), the NKASD administration, IT Director, School Resource Officer, and the New Kensington Arnold Police Department. NKASD IT Director Phil Brautigam said the new cloud-native system “provides value and ease of use,” enabling centralized management of security operations. The district benefits from Brivo’s unified door access control and video surveillance, proactive detection of illegal vaping while protecting student privacy, and the assurance that 911 Camera Sharing is in place in case of an emergency. Brian Kozlosky, President of 2Krew Security & Surveillance, collaborated with Brautigam, school officials, and local law enforcement to design and implement the system. “In partnership with [Brivo](https://www.brivo.com/), we installed cloud-native access control to secure all school access points across the district, we incorporated video surveillance, vaping and other environmental sensors,” Kozlosky explained. “With the addition of 911 Camera Sharing, we have a unified, scalable, future-proof system in place for the community.” “The NKASD project is a fitting model for proactive campus safety that cloud-native AI-driven physical security can deliver,” said Brivo CEO Dean Drako. “This project clearly illustrates why successful security integrators like 2Krew prioritize close collaboration with the customer, community members, and manufacturer partners to design the ideal system to help the school district achieve its objectives.” For more information, view the [NKASD Success Story video here](https://www.een.com/blog/a-school-district-upgrades-to-cloud-based-ai-powered-video-security/). **About Brivo**: Brivo is the global leader in cloud-native physical security, with more than 2 million devices deployed across 100,000+ locations in 80 countries.

Designed to help businesses make informed security investment decisions that align with their objectives, the *7 Essential Applications of AI Video Surveillance* gives extensive practical examples of how organizations can leverage AI-enabled video technology to achieve specific business goals. Progressive enterprise organizations are using video surveillance to comply with regulations, reduce liability, safeguard people and property, stop crime, reduce shrinkage, improve sales and service, and boost operational efficiency. By integrating AI, cloud computing, sensors and other technologies, modern video surveillance does more than record video. It detects and automatically resolves potential problems, and it provides valuable data and insights for business owners. “AI-powered video surveillance enables enterprises to protect people and property, improve business performance, and drive revenue growth,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo, and author of the white paper. “This paper is designed to help enterprises evaluate their priorities and understand the many uses of video surveillance so they can achieve their objectives.” Download the [white paper here.](https://www.een.com/7-essential-applications-of-ai-video-surveillance/) **About Brivo** Brivo is the global leader in cloud-native AI-driven physical security, with more than 2 million devices deployed across 100,000+ locations in 80 countries.

[Eeva](https://brivo.com/products/video-surveillance/eeva/), a core extension of the Brivo Eagle Eye VMS (video management system), empowers business owners to deploy AI to watch all their cameras all the time, using nothing more than common sense natural language prompts. Users simply describe the activity they want to detect—such as “Identify when a worker is not wearing a safety vest”—and Eeva instantly begins monitoring for this event and sending notifications. Automated actions can be added. “Eeva is like an ideal employee working 24/7 all year round—someone who’s reliable, diligent, takes action independently and is always on the job,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo. “Eeva delivers sophisticated AI that is simple to use and camera agnostic, enabling business owners to solve critical security and business challenges using their existing cameras.” **Benefits of Eeva include:** - - - **Ease of Use:** Users can describe what AI should detect using natural language—no coding or AI expertise is needed - **Rapid Deployment:** AI is built in minutes and can be deployed across thousands of cameras instantly - **High Accuracy:** Enterprise-grade VLM-powered AI can distinguish context and understand spatial relationships - **Proactive Response:** Native integration to Brivo Security Suite enables real-time notifications and automated actions - **Camera Agnostic:** Works with the Brivo Eagle Eye VMS; no specialty cameras or additional hardware required. **Industries currently using Eeva include:** - - - **Property Management:** Identify illegal dumping to reduce fines, clean-up fees, and environmental damage - **Manufacturing:** Detect employees without safety vests to ensure protocol adherence, worker safety, and regulatory compliance - **Restaurants:** Verify employees are wearing protective gloves and ensure optimal food preparation processes to improve profits and customer satisfaction - **Gas and EV Charging Stations:** Detect charging cable (copper) theft and illegal activity at fuel pumping stations to reduce property loss, liability, and reputational damage **EV charging station stems copper theft with Eeva** Lee Kerry, Head of Technical Services for Kings Secure Technologies (KST), a full-service security integration firm based in West Yorkshire, UK, used Eeva to create and deploy AI to combat cable theft at EV charging stations. “Eeva’s AI can distinguish when a person or vehicle is present at the EV station from when a person is attempting to remove the cable from the protected zone. This is far more sophisticated, reliable, and easier to manage than traditional analytics,” Kerry said. “The result is very significant cost savings for EV station owners, who have had to replace stolen or damaged cables, lost revenue due to downtime, and suffer reputational damage when charging bays are out of order. Eeva is a quantum leap over legacy analytics.” **Residential complex curtails illegal dumping, improves the environment with Eeva** Enter Security, a leading security technology provider based in Lørenskog, Norway, used Eeva to curtail illegal dumping at Lørenskog Hageby, a residential building complex. “Eeva successfully identifies instances where trash is dumped outside of the bins while correctly filtering out people who approach the trash bins and properly dispose of their waste. Furthermore, Eeva correctly distinguishes various types of disposable trash from existing environmental features like rocks or landscaping,” said Edward-Oliver Olafsen, Chief Operations Officer of Enter Security. “Setting up and deploying Eeva was intuitive and trouble-free, and the AI is working extremely well. For property owners, avoiding the significant costs associated with cleanup and potential fines is a major benefit, while residents appreciate the improved environment and swift resolution of what was a persistent neighborhood nuisance.” **Meet Eeva, your AI video agent that keeps an eye on anything, in Las Vegas next week** Available now, [Eeva](https://brivo.com/products/video-surveillance/eeva/) will be showcased, alongside other new AI-powered Brivo products, in Booth 20031 at ISC West 2026 in Las Vegas, March 25-27.

Speaking at a press conference at the Hinds County Emergency Operations Center, officials said the collaborative effort unites government, educational institutions, churches, businesses, and neighborhood organizations in a community-supported public safety program. Security cameras throughout Hinds County are equipped with [911 Camera Sharing technology](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAupf4kaRzw) that gives 911 dispatchers instant access to view footage from pre-designated, shareable cameras in the immediate vicinity of the emergency. This real-time visibility multiplies the dispatcher’s ability to assess a situation, allowing them to better inform and guide first responders on the ground. The system has already helped deter illegal dumping in some Hinds County areas, and help law enforcement in investigating criminal incidents. “The program is specifically designed to use technology in a smart, cost-efficient way to deliver measurable outcomes for residents and safeguard our officers. This is also a way to assist law enforcement with criminal investigations,” said **Robert Graham, President of the Hinds County Board of Supervisors. In the initial phase, 72 Brivo Eagle Eye [solar-powered security camera cabinets](https://www.een.com/hardware/cabinet-systems/) equipped with 911 Camera Sharing, have been installed throughout Hinds County, including the city of Jackson, the town of Terry, eight neighborhood HOAs, one church, and the areas around Jackson State University and Jackson Public Schools. The *Hinds County Safety Camera Initiative* is designed to improve: - **Crime & Safety:** Deterring crime; increasing officer safety; enhancing student safety. - **Response & Investigation**: Accelerating emergency response and incident investigation. - **Community & Quality of Life**: Reducing illegal dumping and improving neighborhood cleanliness; amplifying neighborhood pride and confidence. Cameras participating in the Hinds County Safety Camera Initiative are not available for public viewing and are not continuously monitored. Camera video access is limited to trained 911 professionals and only available during a verified emergency involving a location with a participating camera that has been authorized for sharing. The dispatcher cannot access camera credentials, make any changes to the system, or download footage, ensuring privacy and security. Designed and installed by [Wilson Technology, Inc.](https://www.wilsontechnologyinc.com/hinds-county-initiatives/%20.), a Jackson, Miss.-based security integration firm, the safety camera system is inclusive and expandable. Any business, school, or house of worship can join the program, regardless of whether they are existing Brivo Eagle Eye customers. Organizations do not need to purchase new cameras to join the program. The more cameras and organizations that sign on, the stronger the 911 Camera Sharing initiative becomes. “Wilson Technology is committed to the safety and security of our community and our state, which is why [we’re actively working with other local businesses](https://www.wilsontechnologyinc.com/hinds-county-initiatives/%20.) to join the *Hinds County Safety Camera Initiative*. We are also working with other Mississippi counties, municipalities, and universities, which have seen the success of the Hinds County project,” said **Fredrick Wilson, CEO of Wilson Technology Inc.** “The Hinds County Camera Safety Initiative is a powerful model for other jurisdictions seeking to unite their communities and technology for modern public safety, which reflects the vision of our company and this product,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo. **About Brivo** Brivo is the global leader in cloud-native AI-driven physical security, with more than 2 million devices deployed across 100,000+ locations in 80 countries.

Cobalt analyzes Brivo access, video, intrusion, and sensor data together to triage and resolve security issues across the environment… **Content:** *Comprehensive scene analysis of Brivo access, video, intrusion and sensor data enables Cobalt AI to triage and effectively handle security issues* **BETHESDA, Md. and SAN FRANCISCO — March 24, 2026 —** [Brivo](https://www.brivo.com/), the AI innovator and global leader in cloud-native physical security, today announced an integration with [Cobalt AI](https://www.cobaltai.com/), creator of Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence, to deliver advanced security incident management and resolution for enterprises. Cobalt AI surveys the entire environment, simultaneously analyzing Brivo Security Suite data—from access control, video, intrusion, and sensors–to rapidly assess security threats, make judgments and take immediate, context-aware actions. Cobalt then initiates the appropriate agentic workflow, whether that’s escalation to a GSOC or emergency response, an instant message to an employee for a non-emergency, or a work order to fix equipment or address a facilities problem. **Accelerating judgment, recognizing threats, prioritizing response** The Brivo-Cobalt solution is ideal for enterprise security management tasks such as tailgating detection. Unlike conventional systems that simply detect a non-badged entry and trigger a tailgating alarm, the Brivo-Cobalt solution evaluates all available video and access control data before taking action. For example, if a video shows that a second person entering a door is wearing a visitor’s badge and being escorted by an employee, Cobalt will recognize this as a non-tailgating threat. It will clear the alarm and send a Slack message to the employee reminding them that all guests must badge in. Cobalt accelerates judgment, avoids a false alarm, and addresses the root cause of the problem. The Brivo-Cobalt integration empowers enterprise security operations centers (SOCs) to move beyond basic system connections, providing the context and prioritization necessary for effective responses. **Brivo is the first to provide AI scene analysis with workflow solutions** Brivo is the first physical security provider to deliver comprehensive AI scene analysis of access control, video surveillance and other data with the ability to launch workflow solutions. The integration enables enterprise to leverage the power of advanced AI security to: - - - Triage access events faster with an operator-ready workflow designed for day-to-day monitoring - Add video context to door activity, speeding verification and reducing uncertainty - Reduce nuisance alarm handling so operators can focus on higher-priority incidents, saving time, and improving compliance posture “Access control data is one of the most important signals security teams have, but it is still too often trapped in event logs and manual processes,” said Dean Drako, CEO at Brivo. “With Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence connected to Brivo, security directors can turn door activity into clearer, faster operational decisions. This advanced, comprehensive integration is a game-changer for enterprise security operations.” **Agentic workflows ensure immediate action for real incidents** “Security teams do not need more tabs and exports. They need security systems that accelerate judgment by properly harmonizing, triaging and responding to security incidents,” said Ken Wolff, CEO of Cobalt AI. “The Brivo-Cobalt solution’s agentic workflows ensure immediate action for real incidents and root cause analysis to fix problems, while also clearing nuisance alarms that are distracting and expensive for a security operation.” The Brivo-Cobalt solution is available to organizations deploying Brivo and Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence.

So why is your physical security still on a hard drive? Why moving to the cloud opens doors for years to come… **Content:** You’ve most likely heard the term ‘Cloud.’ Cloud technology stores and accesses data and programs over the internet instead of through a computer’s hard drive. Although you may not know it, you use the cloud daily. Email, social media, Netflix and your smartphone, to name a few, all store and distribute their data via the cloud. Entire industries revolve around and leverage the cloud, including: financial services, enterprise resource planning, e-commerce, logistics and new residential security. But what is the cloud’s role in commercial physical security? If you are in charge of security for your company, here’s what you need to know to ensure you use the latest technology to keep your building(s) secure. ## What’s the Opportunity? ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/The-Opportunity-300x169.webp) The cloud makes it easier and cost-effective for individuals and companies to access applications, store data, and communicate with other people. Other relevant technological forces, such as mobile, social, big data, AI and IoT are all built on the cloud. If you’re not moving towards a cloud strategy for your physical security, you’re closing yourself off from new technology. ## Why Change? ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Adopt-300x169.webp) Why change platforms? Why do anything differently now? There’s one reason: better security at a better price. That’s what the cloud offers your business. ## What’s at Stake? ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/At-Stake-300x169.webp) If you wait too long to move your physical security to the cloud, you could end up being forced to make the change based on the fact that your outdated technology is simply not supported or maintained any more. Making changes under conditions that are out of your control are never preferable. Your stakeholders expect solutions that are flexible, convenient, and efficient. ## When to Adopt? ![Split banner: left panel shows 'When NOW Your next technology refresh cycle.'; right panel has a cloud network graphic with the word CLOUD and Brivo logo.](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Adopt-300x169.webp) The time to execute is now. Try looking at the following timeframes for migrating from on-site servers to the cloud: - During your next technology refresh cycle - While you shop for new security software - When you are adding a new facility We’ve created a Technology Roadmap Toolkit to help you keep up with technological changes and advances in commercial security.

Two real applications of the SaaS model in physical security: access control and video recording… **Content:** So far we’ve been talking rather theoretically about Physical Security as a Service (PSaaS), and how various market forces are changing the security industry. Today, we’re going to get real and talk about two specific applications of Software as a Service in the physical security industry: - [access control as a service](https://www.brivo.com/access-control-system-faqs/) - video recording as a service (surveillance) Like all PSaaS applications, access control software uses a combination of customer-premise embedded hardware modules plus cloud-based applications and data storage. The on-premise equipment will look familiar to anyone who has been in the security industry for a while: access control panels or edge devices, card and biometric readers, switches, sensors, electric door strikes, and the like. In this context, all of these pieces basically act as a way to interface the physical world to the networked world. The big difference between this and the old way of doing things is that you no longer need the PC or server on site-nor any of the expense or hassles of maintaining your own applications. All of that is handled in the cloud, at redundant data centers operated by the SaaS provider, as shown in the diagram below: ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Video-as-a-Servicev2-300x226-1.webp) This is especially handy if you have hundreds or thousands of sites that need to be under a single security umbrella. The service provider has already handled all of the networking and availability considerations within the architecture itself, and you can focus on policies and exception management. Accessing the applications to manage your properties is handled by-what else?-a browser, from any Internet connection available to you. This is also true for our second example, Video as a Service, a rapidly emerging segment of the physical security and surveillance market that has seen a number of new entrants in the past year. As you can see below, the architecture for a cloud-based video service looks a lot like that of a cloud-based access control system. There’s on-premise equipment-cameras in this case-that connect your physical facilities back to the digital world by way of centralized disk storage and video management applications. Again, all of that storage and all of the applications you need to run your surveillance system are managed by your PSaaS provider. Just like the access control software example, you can view the video application from any browser, as long as you have the right permissions. Remote management and the ability to share video of security incidents immediately through digital media obviously offers huge conveniences for facilities managers. In the best of all worlds, the video and access control software are combined into a single application so that neither is a “stovepipe” of information. After all, an information stovepipe is still a stovepipe, even if it’s on the Internet. – [Steve Van Till](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-van-till-4338632/) **Categories:** Technology --- ### [2026 Security Roadmap: SIA Megatrends with Steve Van Till](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/2026-security-industry-association-security-megatrends/) **Published:** January 14, 2026 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Brivo founder Steve Van Till unpacks SIA's 2026 Security Megatrends report—the rise of software revenue, AI's impact on the industry, and how to prove security's ROI to your CFO… **Content:** Like many in our industry, we wrapped up 2025 by digging into the [Security Industry Association’s (SIA) annual megatrends report](http://securityindustry.org/report/security-megatrends/). Rather than just another predictions list, the 2026 SIA Security Megatrends report offers a strategic roadmap from industry trailblazers who have mapped out the specific shifts in physical security trends we can expect in 2026. As we enter the early days of a fresh year, we sat down with Brivo Founder and President Steve Van Till, who had a hand in shaping this year’s topics, to get his insider take on the findings. Read the full interview below. ## The “Invisible Trend”: The Surge in Security Software Revenue ### Q: What is your headline reaction to the 2026 SIA Security Megatrends report? I am really pleased that we were able to discuss the “invisible trend,” which is the fact that software is becoming an increasingly larger part of the product dollar spent in security. While this might not surprise everyone, our research on exactly how much of the budget it consumes is new information that indicates where the industry is heading. We are becoming more of a software industry, which allows us to create additional value for our customers. ### Q: By 2030, software is projected to make up 45% of industry revenue. What does this shift mean for the traditional security integrator who is used to making margin off hardware? The shift toward software is actually good news for integrators because software generally offers higher margins than hardware. However, it means their salespeople must be able to sell the value of software rather than just individual pieces of hardware. Instead of focusing solely on locks, control panels, and readers, they need to talk about the holistic problems the software solves for the customer. ## AI in the Security Industry: Threat or Tool? ### Q: There is a fear that AI will replace software functionality. Do you see AI as a threat to security software providers, or is it simply the new interface for how we interact with that software? There is an old idea that “software is eating the world,” but the update to that is “AI is eating software.” This refers to the fact that traditional software, which was handcrafted by thousands of developers, can now often be developed very quickly on top of a generative platform. For example, a group recently [created the rough functionality of Slack](https://medium.com/@bandirevanth/how-claude-sonnet-4-5-built-a-slack-like-app-in-30-hours-10k-lines-of-code-3f401596be07) in about 30 hours using the Claude platform. Does that apply to the security industry? I would say it does around the edges, particularly with standalone AI analytics. However, the security industry has tremendous moats. First, we are a very physical industry. Replicating a messaging platform is one thing; integrating dozens of devices with hardware and firmware is much harder for an LLM to figure out and test on its own. Second is distribution. We rely on systems integrators to make these systems work in a given building for a given customer. That method of deployment is a significant moat that prevents the “AI eats software” scenario from developing here to the same extent it might in other industries, at least for now. ## Walled Gardens vs. Open API Security Strategy: ### Q: Regarding the rise of “Single-Logo Platforms”: Is the “Walled Garden” model risky for an enterprise buyer planning for the future compared to an open approach? The fight between “walled gardens” and “open platforms” is at least as old as the PC era. The walled garden model offers a single logo and the assurance that everything will work together, which appeals to some mid-market or smaller businesses. However, the walled garden model can cut people off from the choices they want regarding third-party hardware and software. This is particularly important at the enterprise level. At Brivo, we offer a hybrid. You can choose a single-logo experience by using all Brivo components if you want that simplicity. But because we have an open API and hundreds of integrations, you can also bring in outside technology and still have it operate inside the [Brivo Security Suite](https://www.brivo.com/products/brivo-security-suite/). We believe that the ability to choose where you land on that spectrum is more effective than being locked into a single provider’s roadmap, which might not move as fast as your business needs. ### Q: How does an open API strategy protect a security director from technology going obsolete compared to buying a complete closed solution? The software world is always changing, and new business systems constantly need to be integrated into access control and video. Without open APIs, you are boxed into the technology that was current when you first deployed your system. [Open APIs](https://www.brivo.com/products/open-api-platform/) provide the foundation to connect to any new system that comes along, allowing you to expand functionality as your business needs grow. ## Proving Security ROI to the CFO ### Q: How does a security director walk into their CFO’s office this year and prove that their system is a business intelligence tool or ROI driver, rather than simply a cost center? Because more of the security budget is going toward software, security directors are in a better position to make a case for ROI based on functionality. Modern security platforms can integrate with hundreds of business systems, such as HR, CRM, and logistics. A simple example is a [gym using access control](https://www.brivo.com/hotworx-built-a-safer-place-with-brivo-and-eagle-eye/) tied to membership status. The system allows people in if they are current and keeps them out if they are expired. It is very clear to any CFO that this is a necessary business function that protects revenue. As we accelerate the ability to develop business features that improve customer experience, it becomes much easier to make the case that security is an ROI driver, not just a cost. ### Q: The report also notes that buyers are seeking multi-use technology for operational insights. What other ways are you seeing enterprise customers leverage their security infrastructure to solve logistics, HR, or operations problems? One of our large retail customers uses a strategy called “dark delivery” to move their trucks at night when roads are less crowded. They connected their logistics scheduling system to our identity API to automatically manage credentials for their drivers. This allows them to maintain an accurate list of who is allowed in which store, even as drivers and schedules change daily. That is a prime example of using access control not just for security, but to manage a dynamic workforce and solve a core logistics problem. We recently published, [*From Cost Center to Competitive Advantage: 5 Ways Physical Security Drives Enterprise Transformation*](https://www.brivo.com/transform-physical-security-into-a-strategic-advantage/), which is filled with stories like this. ## The Evolution of the Value Chain ### Q: This year’s report focuses on the evolution from a channel model to a value chain, which requires a “build with” mindset. Why is this collaboration necessary today? The industry has realized that we must be outcomes-focused. Integrators are going to customers and asking, “What outcomes do you expect?” That focus has to propagate back to manufacturers so we are building things that work in that outcomes-driven framework. It is about selling the problem you are solving rather than just the tool. This collaboration ensures that products are developed in a context that customers truly understand and value. ### Q: How does the relationship between the manufacturer and the integrator change? Integrators are under more pressure to find solutions for specific business problems. In the past, the industry focused on micro-enhancements like more video in the matrix or read ranges for unlocking doors. Now, customers are coming in with broader needs. They want a single platform that provides a complete experience, such as combining multifamily building management with smart apartment capabilities across an entire portfolio of apartment complexes. They expect fully integrated business solutions that happen to also be security solutions. This demands a higher level of integration and collaboration between the manufacturer and the integrator to deliver a simple, comprehensive business solution. ### Q: Looking at this report as a whole, is there one trend that you think is currently overhyped or underhyped? As a committee, we groom the list to remove anything overhyped or past its prime. For example, cloud is now considered a “foundational” technology rather than an up-and-coming one. AI is currently on the ascendancy, but in a few years, it will also be a foundational part of how we do things. While there is still some public skepticism or fear, AI is already in most products we use online, and it will soon be everywhere in the security industry as well. We use AI in about six different ways, starting with machine learning for anomaly detection to find deviations in normal traffic patterns. We just announced [Brivo Genius Mobile Agent](https://www.brivo.com/brivo-voice-activated-agentic-mobile-emergency-lockdown/), a natural language capability that allows users to interact with their security system via voice or text. This is a major improvement for security because, in an emergency or panic situation, you may not remember how to use a complex software command. Being able to simply tell your phone to “lock down” provides a much better and more accessible implementation of critical security features. ### Want to go deeper into these trends?

How integrating Brivo and Entrata gave the property modern access and total control… **Content:** ## The Challenge: Balancing Modern Resident Convenience with Suburban Property Security [The Caroline](https://www.carolinegeorgetown.com/), a newly constructed multifamily property features 336 units across 14 buildings. To stand out in a competitive rental market, management needed a solution that balances robust security with the high-end, frictionless lifestyle residents expect. The management team identified several priorities that are essential for properties like The Caroline: **Modernizing Access:** Replacing traditional locks with a unified electronic solution for all 300+ resident units and amenity spaces. **Eliminating Key Management:** Reducing the time-consuming and costly “re-keying” process during resident move-outs and maintenance cycles. **Streamlining Operations:** Integrating physical security with their Property Management Software (PMS), [Entrata](https://www.entrata.com/), to automate move-ins and move-outs. **Enhancing Safety and Oversight:** Gaining real-time visibility into amenity spaces and gated areas to ensure resident safety and resolve disputes. **Improving Resident Experience:** Providing a “mobile-first” lifestyle where residents can access the gym, gates, and their front doors via mobile devices. ## The Solution: Centralizing Property Management and Security into a Single Platform The Caroline partnered with Brivo to implement a comprehensive cloud-based security suite, supported by [Maxcom](https://maxcomsecurity.com/contact-us) with [Allegion](https://www.allegion.com/corp/en/index.html) [Schlage locks](https://www.schlage.com/en/home.html). The property-wide solution features Brivo access control on every unit door and shared spaces, paired with Eagle Eye Cloud VMS for integrated video surveillance. This “single pane of glass” approach allows the front office to link door events directly with video footage. By leveraging the Entrata PMS Integration, the staff now manages the entire resident lifecycle all in one place. When a resident is onboarded in Entrata, their Brivo Mobile Pass is automatically provisioned, allowing them to download the app and immediately access the gate, fitness center, and their unit. Now, maintenance can immediately verify entry attempts through digital logs, and management can monitor the usage of amenity spaces through integrated cameras and key fobs. > “It’s definitely some of the best technology I’ve ever used in my 17 years in the industry.” — Lauren Graff, Community Manager, The Caroline ## The Result: 100% Mobile Adoption and Unmatched Staff Efficiency With the new platform, The Caroline has transformed its daily operations and elevated the resident experience. The property achieved 100% mobile pass adoption, allowing residents to navigate the community using only their smartphone or Apple Watches. ### Operational Efficiency The integration with Entrata has eliminated the re-keying process entirely. If a resident moves out after hours, they simply lock their door with their phone and leave the physical keys inside; staff can revoke access instantly from the dashboard. ### Enhanced Security The team uses the integrated system to resolve security disputes, such as verifying unauthorized entries or investigating package theft, by matching specific access events with corresponding video footage timestamps. ### Vendor Management Maintenance and third-party vendors, like pest control, no longer require a physical key handoff or staff members to usher them from door to door. Access is granted entirely digitally, ensuring a clear audit trail of who entered which specific unit and when. ### Future-Proof Scale Built on an open, cloud-based architecture, the unified security system provides a robust foundation for growth. This platform allows The Caroline to scale operations effortlessly and integrate emerging PropTech innovations as the community’s needs evolve.

Brivo's VP of Multifamily debunks three costly security-system myths—and explains why an open platform is the only way to regain control… **Content:** I talk to VPs of Building Technology every single day, and the common thread I hear is this: managing your “smart” portfolio feels way too hard. You’ve invested heavily—locks, cameras, thermostats—but the tech stack still feels like a mess of disconnected systems. The reality is, a lot of the critical investment decisions being made today are based on long-held myths or misconceptions that create operational drag and security risk… and we’re here to call them out. Our new ebook, [*Multifamily Security Systems Myths Debunked*](/multifamily-security-systems-playbook/), does exactly that. We’re cutting through the noise to give you a no-nonsense framework for building a secure, open, and profitable tech foundation. Here are some of the most pressing questions I get on this topic, and my straight-up answers. ### Q: What’s the biggest mistake VPs are making when they think about their building’s technology architecture? It’s the Silo Deception—the belief that systems don’t need to work together. The thinking is: “If the lock works, and the camera works, why bother with complex integration?” But this attitude is bleeding you dry. The cost of siloed systems is the real Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This “cost” shows up in: - **Operational Costs:** Your staff is wasting time bouncing between screens—the “swivel chair” workflow—to manage, monitor, and pull data from separate platforms. - **Security Debt:** That growing backlog of ignored security updates and fixes on disconnected systems? That’s your risk exposure ticking up, leading to new vulnerabilities and potentially higher insurance premiums. - **Wasted Investment:** You’re missing out on the most valuable features. A camera’s true intelligence is only unlocked when it’s linked to your access control platform, turning reactive footage into proactive intelligence. The fix is [modern, centralized security](https://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/101654-outdated-security-overlooked-costs-why-multifamily-properties-must-modernize-now)—a “smartphone” for your building—that uses APIs to let best-in-class security apps talk to each other. It’s the only way to lower TCO and reduce long-term risk. ### Q: Electronic Access Control (EAC) is still seen as a “nice-to-have” amenity. Is that view really wrong? It’s not just wrong, it’s financially irresponsible. Viewing EAC as only an amenity means you’re massively underestimating its impact as a core business driver. [Over 75% of properties still rely on metal keys](https://naahq.org/new-research-multifamily-access-control), meaning over half of our readers are still paying [$85 or more per unit to rekey.](https://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/101654-outdated-security-overlooked-costs-why-multifamily-properties-must-modernize-now) Modern Electronic Access Control (EAC) eliminates this cost and time—a rekey becomes five clicks on a computer. Beyond savings, EAC eliminates the data blind spots inherent in physical keys. We dig into all these operational advantages and more in our new ebook. ### Q: Our focus is on rent and finishes. Do residents really care that much about the tech experience? Absolutely. And if you ignore this, you are looking at a quantifiable price tag. **The data is clear:** the tech experience is now a major competitive differentiator. Residents are willing to pay [$35 to $55 more per month](https://www.globest.com/2023/02/24/apartments-have-a-tech-story-to-tell/) for a [smart apartment](https://www.brivo.com/4-reasons-that-prove-smart-apartments-are-the-way-to-go/) experience. A property that focuses on convenience and reliability sees tangible ROI. A clunky, frustrating tech experience is a key driver of: - **Renewal Risk:** Resident frustration leads to non-renewal, costing you thousands in lost rent, marketing, and make-ready expenses. - **Reputation Risk:** Negative reviews will damage your ability to attract new renters. - **Rent Rate Risk:** You cannot justify premium “smart building” rents if the keyless entry is constantly failing or requires five different apps. The strategic fix is to engineer the experience to be flawlessly reliable. We’re talking about a truly keyless journey—from the parking garage to the unit—powered by a single, simple mobile app. And that app must be bulletproof, with mobile credentials that work offline even with poor cell service. The most impactful technology doesn’t just add smart devices; it creates a centralized, reliable, and convenient experience that boosts your satisfaction, retention, and ultimately, your NOI. ### Ready to Drive More Value from Your Multifamily Security Systems?

A back-to-basics explainer on the two types, physical and logical, and what the term really means… **Content:** ## **What is Access Control?** When I first heard of the term “Access Control” I wasn’t really sure what it meant, but I thought it had something to do with limiting entry or access to a physical location to individuals who are authorized. I wasn’t too far off, but the concept extends beyond this simple notion. According to Wikipedia, “In the fields of physical security and information security, access control (AC) is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource. The act of accessing may mean consuming, entering, or using. … Locks and login credentials are two analogous mechanisms of access control.” Back in the days facility managers would employ a guard to stand 24-7 in their reception areas. In some way they were setting a barrier to entry. Anytime someone came in, they would ask for their name, get their driver’s license and let them in. While this may still happen in some remote parts of the country, there are better systems these days to manage access to a building. Which is why there is a whole industry dedicated to access control. There are two types of access control: physical and logical. While physical access control limits access to buildings, rooms, common areas and physical IT assets; logical access control limits connections to computer networks, system files and data. As far as computing goes, access control is a way in which users can control who can and cannot access certain systems, resources or information. But let’s focus on the first type. **Physical Access Control** ## The core functions of access control are: - Limit entry to specific locations. Physical access control allows the user to control accessibility to a space, whether that space is the entire building, a garage or the server room. Access to buildings, rooms and floors are controlled using credentials such as key fobs or access cards. Apartment buildings or any commercial building that has lots of tenants can benefit greatly from physical access control. A quality physical access system such as Brivo OnAir can help property managers ensure that only residents can gain access to apartment floors. Property managers can control all points of entry including apartments, elevators, gyms, pools, parking garages and common areas. Access can quickly and easily be turned off for residents that have moved out of the building. - Limit entry by day and time. This is controlling the when. As a facility manager you may want to give restricted time access to your cleaning crew or contractors. For example you may allow deliveries before 8am and after 6pm. A good access control system can let you do that. - Ability to provide a historical record of access entries Knowing who was physically in the building, where they were at and at what time of the day, can be beneficial to management and facility managers. Having an audit trail or report is beneficial anytime you run into researching a possible theft or adverse event. - Ability to provide real-time alerts for invalid entry attempts Knowing whether people are accessing your building or certain rooms during a time they are not supposed to, or accessing a room they are not authorized to do so. A few years ago I worked at an office where the Finance department was sectioned off to authorized finance personnel. If I tried to access that area, I would get a “friendly email reminder” that it was a restricted area. Regardless of whether the attempt was intentional or malicious the facility manager knew at all times who was on the third floor and what doors they were attempting to access. Alerts can also notify facility managers of doors activity. For example, you can be alerted if a door is propped open. People may do that if they are taking too many breaks, someone may force a door open, or someone may prop a door open if they are taking assets out of a building like inventory for example. ## **EFFECTIVE ACCESS CONTROL FOR PROPERTY MANAGERS** Brivo’s unique access control system makes it possible for property managers to access all of their facilities with just one card, and provide access to employees from anywhere in the world. The system tracks when and where residents use the system. This makes it possible to pinpoint exactly who was in a specific area when problems are reported. Brivo strives to provide affordable and reliable commercial physical security solutions that are easy to use and superior to other technologies on the market.

See how one unified Brivo access and video platform secures it all… **Content:** ## The Challenge: Replacing Legacy Systems with Modern Access Control and Video Surveillance Capital C, the former Diamond Exchange of Amsterdam, has been reinvented as a hub for the city’s creative community. It offers offices, flexible work areas, and event spaces for organizations of all sizes. The mix of short-term tenants, frequent visitors, and large gatherings demanded a flexible and secure way to manage daily operations. **The management team identified several priorities:** Replacing an outdated on-premise access control and video camera system with a cloud-based platform Issuing mobile credentials and physical cards to tenants and visitors Integrating access to office floors, meeting rooms, and elevators through one system Automating garage entry with license plate recognition Giving the security team real-time visibility without adding complexity ## The Solution: A cloud-based system integrating video, access, and workspace tools Capital C partnered with Brivo, Eagle Eye Networks, and Bisner to create a unified platform for access control, video management, and digital workplace services. Brivo’s physical security solutions control access to the main building, elevators, meeting rooms, and office floors, enabling tenants and guests to use mobile credentials or physical cards instead of keys or badges. Existing cameras were connected to Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (Video Management System), giving the team secure, remote visibility. With Bisner’s workplace solution integrated into the system, tenants can now book rooms, open doors, and manage visitor access directly from an app. For garage access, Capital C installed the Netherlands’ first Eagle Eye license plate recognition (LPR) camera, enabling automatic vehicle entry. Together, the three systems give Capital C a single, connected workflow for tenants, visitors, and building managers. > “Our goal was to create a flexible system that supports a dynamic community. By combining Eagle Eye’s cloud video management system with Brivo access control and Bisner’s platform, Capital C now provides tenants and guests with a secure and efficient way to move through the building.” ***— Koen, General Manager, Capital C*** ## Simplified, unified operations and an improved experience for tenants and guests With the new platform, Capital C has simplified the way people move through the building. Tenants can use their phones or cards to access office floors, book meeting rooms, and receive guests. Event organizers can register large groups in advance, ensuring smooth entry without additional staff or temporary badges. The garage gate opens automatically through license plate recognition, allowing vehicles to drive in smoothly and without delay. For the management team, the connected system provides a clear overview of daily activity while reducing the need for on-site servers or manual processes. General Manager Koen and colleagues use the platform every day, highlighting its intuitive web interface and the flexibility it brings to Capital C’s operations.

Their conversation went beyond simple solutions, exploring the limitations of disconnected “patchwork” security systems and highlighting the benefits of a holistic, cloud-based approach. Wang, a veteran of both retail management and security integration, offered a unique perspective on why many retailers are facing a security crisis, often without even realizing it. The discussion covered everything from the daily challenges of loss prevention teams to the strategic advantages of a truly integrated security ecosystem. Here’s a recap of the key takeaways from their discussion. ### Q: What are the biggest challenges retailers face when their security systems are not standardized? “When you have to learn a hundred different VMSs and a hundred different access control systems, you’re only going to know the surface level of what these systems can do, “said Wang. When retailers use a patchwork of different systems across stores and regions, LP teams can’t become experts in any of them. They only have a surface-level understanding, which makes it difficult to fully leverage the technology and can create security blind spots. [Standardizing on a single platform](https://www.brivo.com/products/brivo-security-suite/) allows teams to dive deeper into the system’s capabilities and get more value from their security investments. The most shocking example of this inefficiency is the common practice of manual video review. Wang shared a story from his past where he had to sit with an LP manager, manually scrubbing through hours of video footage at high speed, just to find the few seconds of a specific access event. This time-consuming, tedious, and often unreliable process is still common today, even with the rise of modern technology. ### Q: How does having a connected system, like the Brivo platform, improve the investigation process for loss prevention teams? Brivo’s cloud-based platform offers a direct solution to this problem by bringing all physical security components into a single, unified view. This is where the platform’s “genius” really shines. Wang introduced Brivo Genius, an AI-powered assistant that changes how security investigations are conducted. Instead of manually searching for a specific event, an LP manager can use natural language queries. For example, they can ask the system, “Show me every access event related to the inventory door between Monday and Tuesday.” The platform, which [integrates with top VMS providers](https://www.brivo.com/products/video-surveillance/), will automatically pull up every relevant event and link it to a pre-recorded video clip—15 seconds before and 15 seconds after the event. This transforms hours of manual review into a few clicks, making investigations faster and more effective. The benefits of a cloud-based system also extend to operational efficiency and data protection. Wang stressed the importance of securely storing data, such as visitor logs, in a digital vault rather than a physical filing cabinet accessible to anyone. Cloud-based solutions also enable remote management, which is a game-changer for LP teams that are often small and responsible for multiple locations. An LP manager can suspend an employee’s access from their phone on a Sunday afternoon, and that action will be automatically reflected in the system, preventing a security breach before it even happens. ### Q: In an era of increased executive protection concerns and cargo theft, how does Brivo’s technology extend beyond just retail stores? “If you’re standardizing all your stores on a certain platform, why not extend that to all your facilities?” Wang asked. This unified approach provides security teams with a complete picture of all assets, from retail locations to warehouses where valuable cargo is stored. Brivo’s technology is designed to be scalable across the entire [enterprise](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/enterprise/), including headquarters, [distribution centers](https://resources.brivo.com/urbn-customer-story/), and [warehouses](https://resources.brivo.com/retail-multi-site-national-tire-distributor/). This means corporate security and LP teams can monitor all facilities—from a retail store to a DC—from a single, unified platform. A connected system also helps with: - **Proactive Threat Monitoring:** The system can be configured to tag a suspicious license plate, alerting security whenever that vehicle reappears on the property. - **Automated Access for Supply Chain:** Brivo can integrate with other systems to use license plate or Department of Transportation (DOT) numbers as credentials for granting access to distribution centers, automating a process that is often still handled manually with pen and paper. This not only streamlines operations but also provides a digital, searchable log of every vehicle that enters the premises, helping to track and prevent cargo theft. ### Q: What makes Brivo an “open” platform, and why is that important for [retail security](https://www.brivo.com/5-key-considerations-for-improving-retail-security-systems/)? Brivo pioneered the use of an open, cloud-based access control platform. Unlike other security solutions that rely on closed, proprietary systems, Brivo has over 100 certified integrations and an [open API](https://www.brivo.com/products/open-api-platform/). This open architecture allows Brivo’s technology to work with a wide range of hardware and software, including systems a retailer might already have. This is key for companies who are hesitant to switch solutions, fearing they’ll have to tear everything out and start over. With Brivo, a transition is a low-cost, low-effort process that focuses on adding value to what’s already there. ### Q: For retailers who currently have a non-standardized setup, is it difficult or expensive to switch to a cloud-based solution like Brivo? Not at all. Brivo understands that ripping and replacing hardware is costly and inefficient. Our platform is designed to play nice with most existing hardware already in the field. In many cases, retailers only need to change out the head-end hardware to make the switch, allowing them to add significant value to their existing security infrastructure without a massive investment. The goal is to provide a scalable and efficient solution that enhances what’s already there. This approach ensures retailers can build a holistic security ecosystem that leverages the best technology available, rather than being locked into a single vendor.

How Spacemade used Brivo to reach 100% automated onboarding across ten cities… **Content:** ## The Challenge: Bringing Flexible Security to Historic Structures Operating modern, high-turnover workspaces within historic London buildings presents a unique set of challenges. The [Spacemade](https://www.spacemade.co/) team identified several critical pain points that traditional security systems couldn’t solve. - **Infrastructure Constraints:** Historic buildings aren’t built for heavy cabling or server rooms. The team needed a solution that was “light” on the building’s physical structure. - **Operational Friction:** Managing manual access for a high-turnover membership database across multiple locations was an administrative nightmare. - **Fragmented Visibility:** With a remote team moving between locations daily, they needed a way to manage video and access control from a single interface. - **Legacy Limitations:** Previous hardware-heavy systems lacked the cloud-native flexibility required to scale quickly as Spacemade acquired new properties. ## The Solution: 95% Faster Set Up With Brivo While traditional legacy security systems can create bottlenecks, Brivo allows for near-instant set up. As soon as installation is complete, Spacemade can immediately sync Brivo’s cameras and controllers to their workplace ecosystem. Julian Buzi, Senior IT Manager of Spacemade, highlights how this integration has transformed their ability to scale quickly: > “Compared to traditional and legacy systems, we’ve been able to reduce our onboarding time, which used to take around four to five days, down to an hour or two.” By integrating their property management software [Office RnD](https://www.officernd.com/), through Brivo’s open API, they’ve replaced manual provisioning with an automated workflow saving over 400 labor hours per year. When a new member joins or a tenant books a meeting room, their access rights are automatically synced to Brivo. Spacemade has developed a frictionless, integrated tech stack designed to protect the building’s integrity while offering a “mobile-first” member experience. The flexibility of Brivo’s cloud-based architecture also proved essential for modernizing Spacemade’s historic properties without compromising their structural heritage. Working with [Balthorne Security Solutions](https://www.balthornesecurity.com/), Spacemade was able to deploy modern readers and cloud-based controllers without the need for extensive site-specific servers, protecting the “fiber and structure” of their historic properties. By pairing Eagle Eye Cloud VMS with Brivo, facilities teams can link access events directly to video footage. This integrated video capability allows for efficient remote management; if an issue occurs at another site, the team can use visual verification to resolve the ticket from anywhere.

Multifamily leaders weigh in on access control, cloud tech, and flexible solutions in this webinar recap… **Content:** The tools and technologies used to secure living spaces are constantly evolving, as are residents’ expectations for more convenient features and amenities. This raises an important question for property managers: how can they meet residents’ expectations while providing the enhanced security they need? To explore this balance, [Bisnow hosted a discussion](https://resources.brivo.com/enhancing-resident-experiences-with-security-convenience/) featuring Lee Miller, Brivo’s Senior Director of Multifamily; Lisa Moore, Director of Design at [JPI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/jpi-companies/); and Amanda Durkee, Property Manager at [ZRS Management.](https://www.linkedin.com/company/zrs-management/) Together, they shared insights into how they’re navigating these challenges and the technology that’s shaping the future of multifamily living. ## Balancing Security And Evolving Expectations In Multifamily So, where should properties begin? Security should always be the foundation, but with the right technologies, access can evolve into a seamless experience for both residents and property staff. According to Lisa Moore, Director of Design Innovation at JPI Companies, who leads the integration of building technology to enhance the multifamily resident experience, access control is the top request from residents. They want an effortless way to get in and out of the building and shared spaces, emphasizing the growing demand for convenience alongside security. And it’s not just about convenience for residents. Amanda Durkee, Property Manager at ZRS, emphasized that today’s residents expect seamless access for themselves, their families, and their trusted service providers like housekeepers, dog walkers, and delivery drivers. They want this round-the-clock convenience paired with the reassurance of security and safety in their homes. That’s where solutions like temporary PIN codes, QR codes, and other traceable access methods come into play. These tools provide residents with the flexibility they desire while giving property teams greater control and visibility over who enters the property. Adding PIN codes into the mix for access also gives residents flexibility in how they enter their spaces. Some may prefer a single mobile app to access everything, while others opt for a fob or PIN code. This flexibility is crucial in ensuring new technological assets don’t quickly become annoyances. “The future of the space is offering options,” said Lisa. Amanda echoed this sentiment, sharing an example of how access solutions need to accommodate everyone—including minors who may not have smartphones. The benefits of these technologies extend to property teams as well. With remote access capabilities, property managers can efficiently manage access rights for staff, residents, and vendors across their properties, freeing them up to focus on more essential tasks. For example, the ability to share temporary access eliminates the need to personally escort vendors, like plumbers, to specific areas such as a boiler room. Instead, property teams can grant access tailored to individual needs and schedules, with the added assurance that the system tracks who accessed what and when. This same level of control applies to unit doors, offering greater oversight of popular services. Remote monitoring and centralized management become even more powerful when integrated with systems like video surveillance. Property teams can track access events and link them to video footage from a single platform, providing a complete view of activity. This integration enhances security and streamlines incident response, giving teams the tools they need to act quickly should an incident arise. ## Leveraging Technology And Data To Meet Resident And Property Needs What quickly became clear from the panel discussion was that achieving the level of convenience residents want, while maintaining the right balance of security, requires the right technology—and it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. “I’m not about to tell Lisa Moore of JPI what her residents want,” said Lee. His approach isn’t about prescribing a standard security solution, but about providing properties with the systems and tools they need to manage their spaces in a way that works best for them. Lee encourages clients like Amanda and Lisa to come to him with the specifics of their location, site needs, and vision from an amenity perspective, recognizing that each property has unique requirements. That’s the beauty of Brivo’s solution: it’s open and adaptable to a wide range of needs. Whether it’s integrating an amenity booking app that allows residents to reserve spaces and access them through Brivo-controlled doors, or setting up an integration to alert the property team about roof jumpers (yes, that’s a real example discussed in the webinar!), Brivo may not offer out-of-the-box solutions, but its software is designed to empower users to manage *their* properties *their* way. According to Lisa, the flexibility of an open platform is essential to JPI’s business. “We want to put in hardware that has the most integrations with different software and applications out there. That way, when we hand over our assets, we’re not requiring our investors and their property management companies to use something that doesn’t work or coordinate with, or integrate with, their software that they plan to use on the property management or asset management side.” Another perk of an [open, cloud-based platform](https://www.brivo.com/products/open-api-platform/) for multifamily properties is the easy access to data across the property. This centralization provides property managers with an unbiased view, allowing them to manage buildings more efficiently. It also enables them to adapt and evolve in response to changing resident expectations. Take, for example, a private bowling alley. While it may seem like a crowd-pleaser, what does the data say? Is it being used frequently enough, or does that space need to be repurposed to meet residents’ evolving needs? Similarly, a 24/7 gym might be a resident favorite, but how do you ensure it stays clean and well-maintained? Occupancy trends can reveal slower times, enabling property managers to schedule cleaning and maintenance during off-peak hours, without disrupting residents’ use of the space. --- For insights into how Lisa and Amanda prioritize investments, streamline updates with cloud-based solutions, and the lessons learned from adopting new technologies, [watch the full recording](https://resources.brivo.com/enhancing-resident-experiences-with-security-convenience/).

See how centralization and prop tech modernize multifamily security—without trading safety for convenience… **Content:** Keeping your residents and assets safe presents complex challenges, often with priorities that seem to be at odds. Buildings need robust security, yet access must be as smooth and convenient as possible for residents. Residents desire easy entry for deliveries, dog walkers, and scheduled services, while also having peace of mind that their units are secure. Balancing the need to secure various spaces—from individual units to common areas like gyms and pools—with providing convenient access for deliveries, guests, and vendors is a delicate act. Adding to this challenge, most properties currently rely on a mix of outdated manual processes and disconnected software platforms, which create significant inefficiencies and potential security gaps. The fundamental solution begins with centralization. By consolidating security technologies into a single, unified system, property operations become significantly more manageable, and overall security is substantially strengthened. ## Breaking Free From Fragmented Security Solutions In our highly connected world, we’ve somehow missed a piece of the puzzle in multifamily security. Camera systems, access control, door entry systems, and smart locks are often implemented individually, communicating in isolation rather than as a unified system. This fragmentation or disconnection forces property managers to toggle between disparate systems to piece together a complete picture of every access event. This leads to significant inefficiencies, increased security risks, and a higher potential for human error. As Lee Miller, VP of Multifamily Sales at Brivo, explained during the Solving for Multifamily Podcast: “For many years, multifamily technology has been on islands. That was a nightmare for property managers to be able to manage. I see the access event, but then I have to go to a different system to see the cameras. The first part of centralization in multifamily is bringing all that tech into one unified platform.” ## Centralizing Technology: Building a Unified Security Platform for Multifamily Centralizing security technology brings everything—access control, video intelligence, credentials, smart locks, and more—into a single, unified platform. All essential security tools are now available in one place, eliminating the need to jump between screens to get a holistic view of everything happening across the property. ## Key Benefits of a Unified Security Platform ### Comprehensive Security Provides a complete “sidewalk to unit” security solution, managing common area access, unit access, and video surveillance all from a single interface. ### Enhanced Visibility Connecting video with access events offers a complete picture of residents, staff, and guests as they move throughout your properties. ### Improved Decision Making Eliminates information silos, enabling faster, more informed decisions and resolutions. ### Foundation for Growth With access events tied directly to video footage, properties gain a strong foundation to integrate the latest proptech solutions and enhance amenities, such as self-guided tours, streamlined deliveries, and robust visitor management.The ability to manage technology centrally on a regional or national level is another important benefit. Once all properties are connected within one cloud-based platform, they can be managed remotely by a single, dedicated team. This is particularly advantageous for organizations with multiple properties within a close radius or across different locations. With this centralized approach and cloud technology, that single team can efficiently handle leasing and maintenance requests for several properties. Maintenance staff can answer calls and service tickets for multiple buildings. Because access is granted remotely via the cloud for each service request, the maintenance team no longer needs to worry about picking up physical keys; everything is handled electronically. And with video connected to access events, managers gain visibility into what’s happening at every entry point without needing to be physically onsite. Similarly, this approach is a game-changer for leasing operations. You don’t need a full leasing team stationed at each individual site. With the emergence of self-guided tours, prospective residents can simply schedule a time online and gain temporary access to tour the apartment and property amenities without needing direct interaction with staff. Miller summarizes: > “The main thing is centralizing the technology and getting that technology to the cloud in one system instead of multiple systems.” ### See It For Yourself Brivo will be at [Apartmentalize](https://naahq.org/events/apartmentalize), June 12-13, 2025, in Las Vegas.

How a unified security platform builds a future-proof loss-prevention strategy… **Content:** Retail crime is no longer a simple matter of shoplifting. The landscape has evolved, with organized retail crime (ORC) syndicates, supply chain vulnerabilities, and sophisticated digital threats posing an ever increasing challenge. Estimates suggest that retail crime could exceed a staggering [$150 billion in losses annually](https://www.icsc.com/news-and-views/gpp/organized-retail-crime) by 2026. This escalating complexity, coupled with the limitations of fragmented, disparate security systems, has created an urgent demand for a more proactive and cohesive security posture. The financial toll of ORC on retailers is climbing. While traditional petty shoplifting and theft remain concerns, ORC represents a far more coordinated and aggressive threat for retailers. Beyond the immediate cost of stolen goods, retailers face higher insurance premiums, physical damage to stores and facilities, and a decline in employee morale due to the increased violence associated with ORC. ## The New Face of Theft: Organized Retail Crime (ORC) Today’s ORC rings are highly organized, leveraging technology and exploiting vulnerabilities throughout the entire supply chain—from manufacturing to the final retail shelf. This issue goes beyond opportunistic shoplifters, these are sophisticated criminal networks operating across state lines, often with international connections. One of the most alarming trends is the surge of cargo theft. A 2024 survey by the [Retail Industry Leaders Association](https://www.rila.org/blog/2025/05/organized-retail-crime-and-cargo-theft-and-the-urg) (RILA) found that two-thirds of responding retailers experienced increased cargo theft in the previous two years. Criminals are no longer targeting individual trucks; they’re orchestrating complex schemes that exploit digital freight platforms, impersonate legitimate drivers, and use falsified documentation to divert entire truckloads of high-value merchandise. ## How Criminals Target Your Supply Chain These tactics are evolving rapidly: ### Identity Fraud Criminals are using identity fraud to infiltrate supply chains, gaining access to facilities or sensitive information to help execute thefts. This can be done through stealing credentials of authorized users. ### Targeted Attacks Unlike opportunistic theft, cargo theft by ORC groups is often highly sophisticated and targeted, focusing on specific high-value items like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods, which are easily resold on black markets or online platforms. ### Fictitious Pickups A growing method of cargo theft in which criminals pose as legitimate carriers by using stolen or falsified credentials (such as Department of Transportation (DOT) numbers and safety ratings) to fraudulently obtain high-value shipments. The impact of this organized crime extends far beyond immediate financial losses. Stolen freight can interrupt entire production lines, leading to long-term supply chain disruptions, stock shortages, and ultimately, increased costs for retailers and consumers. ## The Limitations of Traditional Security Retailers are working hard to provide a safe and secure shopping environment, despite the daily occurrence of shoplifting and the threat of violence against their employees and customers. However, this is not a problem that retailers alone can solve. ## Disconnected Systems Create Blind Spots Many retailers still rely on outdated or disconnected security systems, creating critical blind spots that ORC groups can exploit. Security teams are struggling with: - **Siloed Systems:** Managing separate platforms for video surveillance, access control, and alarm systems means security personnel have to constantly switch between screens, making real-time threat detection and rapid response nearly impossible. - **Manual Processes:** Paper-based processes for driver check in, loading, and unloading at warehouses and distribution centers are highly vulnerable to fraud and manipulation. A falsified bill of loading or a simple identity impersonation can grant criminals access to valuable cargo. - **Lack of Centralized Visibility:** Without a unified view across all locations, from distribution centers to individual stores, it’s difficult to identify patterns, connect related incidents, and understand the full scope of criminal activity. For instance, a national tire distributor lost $2 million in inventory partly because their traditional key system provided no oversight of who had access to their facilities, past or present. ## The Power of Smart, Unified Security The escalating sophistication of ORC demands an equally advanced and unified approach to security. Retailers are increasingly turning to unified security platforms that bring together various technologies into a single, cohesive ecosystem. **Here’s how retailers can combat the rise of ORC:** ### Real Time Visibility and Analytics Advanced video surveillance, integrated with AI-powered analytics, can monitor activity across warehouses, loading docks, and transportation routes. This includes anomaly detection that can flag suspicious patterns, such as unusual vehicle movements or unauthorized access attempts. ### Smart Access Control Moving beyond traditional keys, electronic access control systems linked to video verification provide granular control over who enters and exits facilities. This allows for instant activation or deactivation of credentials, ensuring only authorized personnel have access. When integrated with HR systems, it provides real-time oversight of employee access. Also unlike company keys, personal cell phones are rarely shared by employees. ### Integrated data and intelligence Unified platforms not only centralize physical security so it’s all easily accessible in one view, it also connects with other tools like GPS tracking to create a comprehensive picture of potential threats. This allows security teams to identify known offenders, track suspicious vehicles using Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR), and link seemingly unrelated incidents. ### Remote Monitoring and Management Cloud-based unified platforms provide LP teams with comprehensive remote monitoring and management capabilities, enabling real-time visibility into events, video surveillance, and access control across all locations from any mobile device, drastically improving incident response and overall operational efficiency for dispersed teams. ## Building a Future-Proof Loss Prevention Strategy By adopting a unified security strategy, retailers can gain unprecedented situational awareness across their entire supply chain. This empowers security teams to proactively detect threats, respond to incidents, and conduct more efficient forensic investigations. This can result in a measurable reduction in shrink, improved visibility of the supply chain, and a stronger alignment of security investment with business goals. The fight against ORC is an ongoing battle. However, by leveraging unified security platforms that are embracing technological innovation, retailers can transform their loss prevention strategies from reactive to proactive—protecting their employees, assets, and bottom line in an increasingly complex threat environment.

Experts Dean Drako and Jonathan Frase break down the top 2026 trends—how cloud AI and gun detection are transforming security… **Content:** The physical security industry is undergoing a massive transformation. Video surveillance is moving past the era of simple video recording into an age of proactive intelligence. This transformation isn’t just about better cameras; it’s fueled by breakthrough cloud software, tightening legal requirements, and a fundamental shift in how businesses protect their assets. Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo, and Jonathan Frase, CEO of [ArcEye Property Defense](https://www.arceyedefense.com/) recently sat down to discuss the [trends in the video surveillance landscape.](https://events.zoom.us/e/hub/channel/n5P_W7JZTiWymQhOfMl83Q/recording/YoM49KMvT0q4gv1Jd9VVfA) They shared critical insights on how this shift, alongside rapid AI advancements, is changing how businesses approach security. ## Cloud-based AI is now the default, not the exception “If you want accurate, up-to-date AI for high-quality video surveillance, you’re going to need models of a size and scale that are only practical to deploy in the cloud.” — Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo. While edge AI (running on local cameras) has its place, it simply cannot compete with the massive computing power of the cloud. During our webinar, 65% of attendees said AI is already an essential foundation or a key enhancing tool in their current operations. By leveraging LLMs and massive GPU clusters in the cloud, AI can now understand context. This centralized power allows businesses to update their existing cameras without needing to “rip and replace” devices every time a new AI feature is released. ## Enterprise cloud adoption reaches a tipping point The numbers tell a clear story: Gartner forecasts worldwide end-user spending on public cloud services to total $723.4 billion in 2025, up from $595.7 billion in 2024. Large enterprises are moving away from maintaining on-premise servers at every branch. As Drako explains, “maintaining hardware at the edge is highly burdensome to the large enterprises” due to the logistical nightmare of security patches, physical maintenance, and compliance audits. Cloud platforms allow enterprises to consolidate disparate systems into a single cloud interface much faster than traditional setups. Beyond security, cloud platforms offer real-world ROI for mid-market clients. Frase says, “we’re only at the tip of the iceberg,” when it comes to what is possible with AI analytics. If a customer enters a self-storage facility and waits more than 30 seconds to be helped, they may walk out.” With advanced analytics, you can set KPIs and measure staff efficiency in real time. ## Incidence response gives way to active readiness Video surveillance is evolving from a reactive tool to a proactive tool. Instead of just reviewing footage after a crime, AI can now watch all cameras simultaneously. Through agentic AI tools like the [Eagle-Eye Video Agent (Eeva)](https://www.brivo.com/products/video-surveillance/eeva/), users can simply type a natural language prompt to find exactly what they need. This shift has paved the way to create what Frase calls “Intrusion 2.0.” Traditional intrusion systems have remained the same for 50 years and suffer from high false-alarms rates. By combining [Remove Video Monitoring (RVM)](https://www.een.com/remote-video-monitoring/) with AI, your false alarm rate drops to virtually zero. Frase shares a compelling example of a property manager who used RVM to detect vagrancy near dumpsters after hours. Instead of discovering damage after the fact, the system deterred six intruders in the first two weeks. Integrating video with [access control](https://www.brivo.com/) and event management enables automated responses, such as initiating a lockdown or triggering a safety protocol, the instant a threat is detected. ## Gun Detection emerges as a critical feature The conversation around gun detection has shifted from one of possibility to one of responsibility. Fast, accurate gun detection is now a sought-after feature of video surveillance in schools, workplaces, public venues, and multifamily spaces. AI-powered visual detection has a significant advantage over acoustic sensors: it covers a wide field of view and identifies the threat before a shot is fired. Drako suggests that within 5 to 10 years, states may mandate that public facilities use [AI-powered gun detection](https://www.brivo.com/products/video-analytics/gun-detection-system/). By leveraging existing camera infrastructure, schools and workplaces can implement this critical layer of safety without the friction of TSA level check-ins. ## Conclusion: The Future of Security is Consulting, Not Selling The overarching theme of 2026 is clear: Security professionals must stop being hardware installers and start being consultants. Because technology is moving so fast, end-users are operating with a 15 year old understanding of what is possible. The winners in this new era will be those who can look at a client’s business problems, not just their doors and cameras, and provide a unified, intelligent solution. ### Download the full report here: [download report](https://www.een.com/video-surveillance-trends/) ### Watch the full webinar here: [watch video](https://events.zoom.us/e/hub/channel/n5P_W7JZTiWymQhOfMl83Q/recording/YoM49KMvT0q4gv1Jd9VVfA) **Categories:** Security --- ### [How HOTWORX Built a Safer Gym with Brivo](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/hotworx-built-a-safer-place-with-brivo-and-eagle-eye/) **Published:** July 21, 2025 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** With nearly 800 studios and 24/7 staffless access, HOTWORX needed security as innovative as its workouts. See how Brivo and Eagle Eye built a safer place to exercise… **Content:** HOTWORX is a rapidly growing fitness franchise that provides a unique 24/7 virtually instructed exercise experience with infrared saunas. With nearly 800 studios and 250,000 members worldwide, this game-changing approach to fitness demanded an equally innovative operational model, especially concerning member access and security. They needed an integrated physical security solution dynamic enough to meet the demands of staffless access and scale with them. ## A Simple, Reliable Way to Secure 24/7 Facilities at Scale HOTWORX needed to offer members 24/7 access to their fitness studios, but their operational model simply didn’t allow for continuous staffing. The core challenge was clear: how to let members enter the facilities at any time securely without compromising the member experience. ## They Needed a Security Solution That Could: ### Unify Access Control and Video Surveillance For complete visibility into their studios, HOTWORX needed a system that could pair access events with real-time video surveillance. This gave local team members and franchisees a full record of every entry and exit. By integrating with Eagle Eye Network cameras, Brivo delivers a unified view crucial for better security monitoring and faster incident verification, all while cutting out the inefficiency of managing separate systems. ### Streamline Member Onboarding To ensure efficient member management and to free up staff bandwidth, the security solution needed to communicate with HOTWORX’s existing POS system. This integration was critical to avoid the manual process of copying membership data into the access control platform. Brivo delivered by building a custom integration that automatically syncs access rights with member enrollment, provisioning credentials immediately upon sign-up. ### Enable Mobile Access Credentials Mobile credentials were an obvious choice for HOTWORX. Not only are they convenient for members, but they’re also far less likely to be shared than other credential types. To further enhance the member experience, HOTWORX collaborated with the Brivo team to white-label the Brivo Mobile Pass directly into the HOTWORX app, eliminating the need for members to juggle two separate applications. For added flexibility, members also receive a personal PIN code for the Brivo reader upon sign-up. ## The Results: Unprecedented Growth, Security and Efficiency The integration of Brivo and Eagle Eye Networks has yielded transformational results for HOTWORX, enhancing their security capabilities and member experience. The scalability offered by this unified security solution has been paramount to their success. As Stephen P. Smith, Founder and CEO, notes the system “has scaled beautifully, everything is automated now.” This automation had been instrumental in their rapid expansion to nearly 800 locations worldwide. Brivo’s unified solution enables 24/7 secure access, ensuring a safe environment for staff and members during staffed and unstaffed hours. Robyn Powell, VP of Information Technology at HOTWORX, emphasizes, “It’s not just about protecting the facility; it’s about protecting our members and ensuring they have a safe and secure place to work out.” By combining Eagle Eye Networks’ robust video surveillance with Brivo’s pioneering cloud-based access control and event management, the solution quickly became “mission critical for everything we do.” This integration, in turn, fully enabled HOTWORX’s unique unstaffed, 24/7 operations model. > “Brivo is mission critical for everything we do.” “From concept to today, Brivo has helped us and collaborated with us to find the right solutions to fit our needs,” adds Robyn Powell. This powerful integration has not only solved HOTWORX’s unique security and operational challenges, it has also laid the foundation for continued global expansion while providing a secure and enjoyable experience for members.

With Brivo Snapshot, customers can flip through a “photo album” of single frames derived from a video associated with an access event, without having to watch a full 30-60 second recording. This enhancement saves customers an incredible amount of time over the course of a day. The new Brivo Snapshot is the fastest way to confirm that someone entering a space with a credential is actually the person that the credential belongs to. It also provides visual context for many other kinds of events, such as the arrival of visitors, vendors, customers, and tenants. Brivo Snapshot uses machine learning to detect the presence of people by finding the video frame with the highest facial detection score around a specific event. It then extracts and presents this single image along with the underlying video clip. Brivo Snapshot’s visual log makes it easier to support investigations into access alerts, tailgating events and crowding situations by providing an immediately scrollable catalog of images for past events. This visual history is a one-of-a-kind capability that is simplifying security for Brivo Access customers. Brivo Snapshot’s AI technology also detects mask presence and usage to determine if they are being worn properly–covering mouth and nose. Mask detection is a common feature many organizations are considering for employee health-safety as they transition from at-home to in-office work, in the post-covid world. Even though many guidelines and CDC recommendations are continuing to evolve, many organizations are expected to continue to require facial coverings, in some capacity, for months to come as we all transition into the post-COVID era. ## How can I get Brivo Snapshot? Brivo Snapshot is included with Professional and Enterprise editions of Brivo Access and available as a stand-alone subscription with supported cameras. Brivo Snapshot can be used with any video stream, but is recommended for Brivo Access Cam and Eagle Eye Networks cameras for the best performance. Ready to get started?

Meet Eeva, the AI video agent in the Brivo Eagle Eye VMS that uses natural language to flag complex safety and operational events… **Content:** Unlike traditional systems which can only spot a person or a car, Eeva allows you to use natural language to define exactly what matters to your business. From detecting a blocked exit to identifying safety violations on a job site, Eeva is your AI Video Agent that keeps an eye on anything. ## 1. What exactly is a “video agent”? Think of a video agent as a digital force multiplier, watching cameras to find your specific concerns so it can take action. While traditional analytics are rigid algorithms that only know how to identify a person or vehicle, a video agent like Eeva is flexible enough to identify what matters most to your business. Powered by vision language models (VLM), Eeva understands the full context and spatial relationships of a scene. It doesn’t just see pixels; it understands what is happening, where it’s happening, and why it might be a problem. ## 2. How is this different from the motion alerts already blowing up my phone? Standard motion alerts often lead to alert fatigue because they lack context — a swaying tree branch shouldn’t be treated the same as a person blocking a fire exit. Eeva uses a multi-layer AI brain to filter out the noise. It can distinguish between: - **Logistics:** A car parked in a spot vs. a car blocking an entrance gate for more than five minutes. - **Liability:** A person walking by a pool vs. an unsupervised child near the water. - **Compliance:** A kitchen staff member wearing required gloves vs a manager passing through a prep zone ## 3. Do I really just… talk to it? Yes. And no, you don’t need to learn Python first. Eeva is an agentic AI, meaning it can be instructed with natural language prompts, just like you would use your favorite AI app to revise an email. If you can describe your operational rule, Eeva can build the logic to track it. You first type an instruction like: “Identify if a worker enters a warehouse aisle without a helmet or high-visibility vest.” Eeva builds the detection logic automatically. Then simply answer how often Eeva should check and immediately verify results on past events. ## 4. What are some real-world ways this actually improves the bottom line? Eeva is designed to solve the specific and niche problems that traditional systems ignore. Our early adopters are seeing ROI across several sectors: - **Property Management:** Identifying illegal dumping (like a mattress left by the bins) to save thousands in hauling fees. - **Construction:** Ensuring 24/7 PPE compliance without needing a manual safety auditor on-site at all times. - **Retail & Hospitality:** Monitoring hygiene compliance or alerting managers when packages arrive. - **EV Infrastructure:** Detecting when a non-EV car is “ICE-ing” a charging spot or identifying a cut charging cable. ## 5. Do I need to buy all new “AI Cameras” to make this work? Not at all. Eeva is hardware-agnostic and features a zero-footprint architecture. It runs in the cloud, which means it can transform your existing standard surveillance cameras into active operational brains without requiring proprietary hardware or on-site upgrades. As long as you have a stable connection and a Brivo Eagle Eye VMS subscription, you’re ready to go. As Kyle Perkuhn puts it, the goal of Eeva isn’t to give you more video, it’s to give you more vision. By removing the technical barriers to complex monitoring, Brivo empowers every business to have a dedicated pair of eyes on its most critical assets. ### The AI revolution is here, and it’s finally speaking your language.

Smart-apartment features and self-guided tours can set your property apart—and lift closing rates by as much as 40%… **Content:** What makes a resident say, “Wow, I need to live in this apartment community and I never want to leave?” As a property manager you have to balance that wow factor for residents with budgets, infrastructure capabilities and management needs. What if you could deliver them all without a complete renovation of your property? Installing the right technology can drive the outcomes you want. For Kromer Investments, those outcomes were staying ahead of the competition, increasing property value and improving resident and leasing experiences. The right technology was [Brivo Smart Apartment](https://resources.brivo.com/sales-sheets/brivo-smart-home-sales-sheet) and [Brivo Self-Guided Tour](https://www.brivo.com/self-guided-tours/). ## **Being Forward-Thinking Pays Off** “We wanted to establish an advantage that most of our competitors do not offer. We felt installing smart technology would not only drive a new selling point, but also allow us to operate differently.” -Damien Romero, Director of Asset Management, Kromer Investments Inc. Kromer Investments realized the best way to improve their property value was investing in smart technology for each unit like smart locks, thermostats and lighting. Then they brought it all together with the Brivo app that allows residents to open doors, control in-apt features, pay rent and submit work orders. Kromer Investments was able to establish a **$50 increase in rent for every unit with a forecasted $200K+ yearly added property value**. “Residents love it and resident retention has increased because of it. Residents get accustomed to it and do not want to move to another location. This allows us to decrease expenses because we don’t have to turn around as many units as we did in the past.” -Damien Romero Smart apartment features attracted residents during the ‘normal’ state of the country and they became **even more important to create a healthy building during the pandemic.** Kromer Investments never planned for an environment like COVID-19 but they were able to adapt quickly with the help of Brivo. “Without Brivo, we would have fallen behind, had to play catch up, and reduce our price points to stay competitive. We would also not be as prepared to handle the COVID-19 pandemic and create a safe environment for our employees and residents.” -Damien Romero ## **The Best Experience Starts with the Leasing Process** Before someone becomes a resident, they need to tour the property. Coordinating schedules between a prospective resident and the leasing agent to view the unit is the biggest challenge. Self-guided tours are not necessarily new to the multifamily market, but **having access to data that tells a complete story makes a big difference in success.** Having insights into what prospects were most interested in during their self-guided tour means leasing agents can still follow up in a personal way and engage with the prospects most likely to sign a lease. Kromer Investments is able to allow prospects to run their own tour while improving customer service and meeting management goals. “Self-Guided Tours have **increased our closing ratios by 25% to 40% across our different properties**. Our offices have been closed to the public since March and we have been able to maintain operational goals.” -Damien Romero ## **Having a Collaborative Smart Apartment Provider Puts You over the Top** The multifamily market is constantly evolving and now needs to adapt to environmental challenges and health considerations. Property managers need to have a plan to keep their property safe, healthy, desirable and profitable. A [multifamily property solution](https://www.brivo.com/multifamily-solution-guide/) grounded in physical security that also attracts and retains residents with smart apartment technology is the future of the industry. Brivo and Kromer Investments have a partnership where new ideas are cultivated, expertise is shared, training is a priority and creating unique solutions is the goal. “I love the collaboration and the expertise Brivo brings to the table. Together, we are able to discuss ideas, challenges and experiences to establish the best solutions. This is the environment Brivo brings to the table and what we depend on.” -Damien Romero Learn more about [Kromer Investments](https://www.kromerinvestments.com/), Reno’s most trusted property management company and their achievements with Brivo Smart Apartment and Self-Guided Tour.

Your Smart Building is Talking…](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/are-you-listening-your-smart-building-is-talking/) **Published:** April 21, 2022 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Remember 'let your fingers do the walking'? Today your smart building is the one talking—generating a stream of data most operators aren't yet listening to. Here's what it's saying… **Content:** Anyone who grew up in the United States sitting in front of the TV in the 1980s instantly recalls the catchphrase for the Yellow Pages phone directory: “Let your fingers do the walking.” As hard as it is to believe now, it touted the convenience of finding a business in a print directory without having to ask friends or drive around looking for one. Your fingers could instantly flip through the guide and find the right solution, be it a pool repair company, Italian restaurant, or pet shop. Your fingers would walk through the phone book where your only option was to call the company or service – no one had websites to turn to for information. That world, full of landlines, paper phone books, rotary phones, looks almost quaint today. Everything is now digitized, miniaturized, mobile, and connected. “Let your fingers do the walking” was groundbreaking 40 years ago. Today’s equivalent is, “let your building do the talking.” Just as consumers in the 1980s got to understand the convenience of printed business directories, so are facility owners and managers today just beginning to grasp the information provided by their buildings’ data. Multitudes of transactions can be captured, correlated, analyzed, and leveraged to create cost efficiencies, enhance visitor or tenant experience, and even generate revenue. Consider access control. Cloud-based systems can capture successful and failed access attempts by person, door, department, time of day, access permission, building, campus, country, region, or so on. At the building level, the data might show what areas require less heating or cooling at certain times since they receive little traffic. Across a corporate campus, it might show where employees tend to prop open doors during break time, suggesting that security might wish to deploy an officer there at specific times. Across an entire organization, it might reveal which type of access control is most reliable and effective—say smart card versus mobile versus face recognition. But data insights extend beyond individual organizations. Brivo gathers data from 72,000 buildings across over 40 countries and millions of users to track who is physically coming to work, be it an office, a factory, school, retail store, warehouse, or call center. As of March 11, 2022, Brivo reported that [65% of America has reopened](https://www.brivo.com/resources/mapping-covid/)—the percentage of unique access control users compared to just prior to COVID. Brivo also breaks those numbers down by industry, facility type, city, and other factors. Organizations use that data to make critical business decisions. For example, the [Downtown Austin Alliance](https://downtownaustin.com/) tracks door “unlocks” to gauge the return of workers to Texas’s capital city. The Downtown Austin Alliance provides data so that businesses that rely on workers coming downtown—hair salons, gyms, restaurants, dry cleaners, theaters—can adjust hours, staffing, and offerings. Similarly, a financial services company uses Brivo data to advise investors in the corporate travel space. By analyzing the percentage change in daily active access control users by factors such as city, state, and industry—as well as the pandemic’s impact on daily commercial property usage—the company helps its clients tailor their investments. Confining building data to access control is like letting your fingers do the walking through an old Yellow Pages phone book – outdated. Today’s smart buildings are filled with sources of lucrative data. On the security side, video surveillance, alarm systems, intrusion sensors, and other tools yield abundant information. Beyond that, the data sources are practically innumerable: HVAC systems, electricity use, air quality, humidity, occupancy, room use, maintenance requests, parking, and so on. As the sources increase, the possible insights increase logarithmically. We are just starting the age of big building data. Your building is talking. Are you listening?

But modern, cloud-based video management systems (VMS) can help improve restaurant business operations as well as proactively prevent safety and security incidents. Cloud-based systems, like [Eagle Eye Networks Cloud VMS](/platform/video-management-system/), are easy to access and use, provide data and insights, and are more secure than traditional on-premises systems. The pandemic created new challenges for the restaurant industry including labor shortages and the expanded use of curbside delivery, plus changes in customer headcounts and table turnover. Those industry shifts continue to be a reality for restaurant owners and operators. The [National Restaurant Association](https://restaurant.org/) reports that more than half of restaurant operators expect it to be a year or more before [business conditions return to normal](https://restaurant.org/research-and-media/research/research-reports/state-of-the-industry/). Restaurants that optimize their existing surveillance cameras can reduce operational costs and do more with less by using real time data and video analytics to make strategic staffing decisions. Even without a full staff, customer service can improve with data-driven decisions about customer wait times. The ability to monitor all cameras and locations from anywhere, plus these valuable metrics, are two of the reasons cloud-based systems are [the best video surveillance system for restaurants](/industry/restaurant-security-system/). Remote access, automatic updates, and flexibility in adjusting the system set these systems apart from traditional on-prem systems. Cloud systems also provide better cybersecurity than many on-prem or windows based solutions. Some systems, like Eagle Eye Cloud VMS, even make it possible to move an existing surveillance system to the cloud without replacing any existing cameras or equipment. Keep reading for four ways a cloud-based surveillance system can help restaurants operate more efficiently and improve customer service. ## 1. Real Time Awareness For Restaurant Security Cloud-based video surveillance systems allow the ability to conveniently look in on any camera or location from anywhere, including from your phone. Real time awareness makes consistent monitoring of a restaurant possible without being on site. Staff can be held accountable and recorded video can be used for additional training to improve the dining experience. Remote access can also be used proactively to prevent potential liabilities. Real time awareness allows owners and operators to spot check staff to see if they are following health and safety codes and internal policies. Additionally they can look in to see how operations are running or if customers are being treated well. During time-sensitive incidents, surveillance video is accessible when it is needed most. You can easily find and instantly download and email video clips. Restaurant owners and operators, plus regional and location managers, can quickly review accidents or incidents and make an informed decision on how to proceed and who to notify. ## 2. Using Data and Analytics For Restaurant Operations Modern surveillance systems have new capabilities that can help improve operations. Systems like Eagle Eye VMS are equipped with useful artificial intelligence (AI) technology to measure data and analytics, which allow them to track and predict patterns more effectively. There are a number of useful applications for restaurant video analytics in the restaurant industry. People counting analytics can track how many people are entering and exiting a restaurant at any given time. This data, measured over days, weeks, and months, can provide insights on peak customer times and days so that staff can be scheduled strategically. Line crossing data applied to drive thru cameras can be used to improve operational efficiencies. This data can help managers see where and when customers are moving through the line, as well as identify choke points and areas of potential improvement. By analyzing this data, managers can make informed decisions that can help improve the customer experience. Loitering analytics can help restaurant owners and managers recognize if people are waiting too long in line. By optimizing queue times, they can improve customer satisfaction. If too many people are waiting in line, alerts can be set to notify on-duty managers of long wait times so that they can adjust staff in real time. Surveillance systems can [integrate cameras with POS information](https://www.een.com/blog/4-ways-integrating-pos-data-with-cloud-video-will-help-your-restaurant-run-smoother/) to ensure transactions are legitimate. **CURBSIDE IS HERE TO STAY** Curbside pickup became a restaurant standard during the pandemic and that option is here to stay. Restaurants that provide fast, accurate service will see return curbside customers. Curbside also created a new situation – employees interacting with customers outside of the business – where safety and customer service can benefit from surveillance. A flexible cloud VMS system can easily be adjusted to add new cameras for curbside monitoring. Cloud-based systems also support curbside pickup with: - AI-powered license plate recognition that will keep track of pickup orders if tied to customer accounts. - Video timestamps that strengthen security. - Wireless connected body cameras that are small and unobtrusive enough to be part of the uniform but provide compliance and safety. ## 3. Flexibility and Scalability – Locations, and Users Restaurants that learned to pivot quickly were able to adapt to the various challenges during the pandemic and survive better than others. Cloud-based surveillance systems are able to change quickly and easily, often without requiring on-site visits from a security technician. These browser and mobile based systems allow managers to adjust retention times and video quality of individual cameras or locations with just a few clicks. This helped restaurants during COVID – they were able to reduce their surveillance video retention and save money while dining rooms were closed. The right cloud system allows a system manager to add or delete users and set up parameters for each individual user on what cameras and locations they can view with their own unique and secure login. The right cloud VMS should also make scaling up and adding new locations or cameras to the system easy and affordable. Restaurant owners should have the flexibility to choose the cameras that work best for their business needs at a price that also works. Some cloud systems require proprietary cameras be used when migrating to a cloud surveillance system, but Eagle Eye Networks Cloud VMS does not require restaurants to use Eagle Eye Cameras. The right system should prioritize flexibility and avoid unnecessary costs replacing or upgrading existing equipment. A truly flexible system should work with [existing cameras, even analog cameras](https://www.een.com/support/camera-compatibility-digital-ip/). ## 4. Improved Cybersecurity With Cloud Video Surveillance Improve the cybersecurity of your network, which hosts critical information including payroll, customer information, and POS solutions. A cloud-based VMS helps to protect these assets and minimize risk. On-prem systems require open ports for access and the responsibility of protecting that system falls to a restaurant’s IT manager. Maintaining network security eats up time and resources, and a cloud-based VMS manages cybersecurity and security updates as a regular part of the service. The connectivity of a cloud-based system means automatic security fixes and patches are continually added, ensuring new protections for your surveillance system and network. The Eagle Eye Networks system is designed to block all cameras from interacting with anything connected to your network or the internet to prevent any path for malware to enter. Video surveillance data is encrypted before it moves to the cloud, preventing access to any of that information. Each individual user can be set up with a secure login and defined parameters for what video they can access. At the beginning of 2022 [Eagle Eye Networks completed SOC 2 Type 2](https://www.een.com/blog/eagle-eye-networks-high-security-standards-validated-with-soc-2-type-2-audit/) and ISO 27001 audits that independently ensure the highest level of cyber protection available to protect and manage customer data.

Along with a pair of other industry giants, in 2008 Axis forged the [ONVIF industry standard](https://www.onvif.org/), which remains the core of today’s video surveillance industry, and which allows companies to innovate with features while remaining committed to compatible video output formats. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Axis-blog-monitoring.jpg)Because Axis cameras are ONVIF compliant, our video management system — Eagle Eye Cloud VMS — has long been able to use Axis’s highly regarded cameras so users could watch live or recorded video from anywhere. As with any other maker’s cameras, video captured on site by users’ Axis cameras would flow first to an Eagle Eye Bridge or CMVR (cloud-managed video recorder), then be transmitted fully encrypted to an Eagle Eye data center. From there, video can be searched and reviewed from anywhere with Eagle Eye’s user-friendly VMS interface. ## Skipping the bridge, when it makes sense Our recently introduced [Eagle Eye Camera Direct](https://www.een.com/product/camera-direct/) cameras simplify network installation by eliminating the need for a bridge or CMVR, instead securely transmitting video straight from the camera to the Eagle Eye cloud over an encrypted connection. As with our Bridge / CMVR-based configurations, that video is gathered by a camera that’s never exposed to the security risk of inbound network connections. Until recently, Camera Direct was available only with Eagle Eye cameras. We’re pleased that now, thanks to a technology partnership between Eagle Eye and Axis, and leveraging the Axis Cloud Connect platform, **Axis cameras can also transmit data directly to Eagle Eye cloud storag**e using secure APIs, with no need for a bridge and with the same kind of always-on encryption to protect your data. For customers using Axis equipment, enabling direct video transmission is only one of Axis Cloud Connect’s benefits: Cloud Connect also helps unite their on-site infrastructure for configuration, updates, and hardware audits, and offers one-click cloud device connection. By eliminating the need for an on-premise bridge or video recorder, and with [Eagle Eye’s cloud capabilities](https://www.een.com/product/cloud-vms-system-overview/), direct connection enables fast camera deployment without sacrificing video quality or changing retention options. Additional cameras can be easily integrated, too, limited only by available network bandwidth. ## The impact of direct Compared to a conventional installation, direct camera connections to VMS storage reduce the steps needed to deploy new equipment. Each camera serves as both a video gathering device and a secure upstream networking powerhouse. You can extend your security footprint simply by placing a new surveillance camera, supplying it with power, and connecting it to your network — without needing to configure, upgrade, or purchase additional on-site equipment. That’s especially valuable when on-site infrastructure is already crowded, or not available. **Use cases for bridge-free connections** - Temporary installations - Retail settings - Edge-of-property installations On powering up, each camera “phones home” — it makes a secure network connection to the Eagle Eye data center, establishing an encrypted link through which video data can flow. Because this link always starts from the camera, one of the most common security risks of IP cameras is eliminated, right from the start. No hacker can attack with common vulnerabilities that exploit cameras’ open ports, because inbound connections are never available to them. Direct camera links, though convenient, offer greater advantages in some situations than others. For new installations, they may eliminate the need for any on-site bridge; for existing ones at or near capacity, additional cameras added with direct connections mean there’s no strain put on existing bridges or switches and no network tweaking required. Eagle Eye Cloud VMS users will simply see the new camera’s streams in the same interface they already know. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Axis-blog-install.jpg) The flexibility of directly connected cameras in an open system like the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS also means that you’re free to mix and match camera types; you may find that conventional installation works well for your established infrastructure, but that a new branch office or outbuilding is easier to connect directly with Axis cameras.

All Inside Brivo.](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/what-multifamily-operators-need-all-inside-brivo/) **Published:** May 22, 2026 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** The best tech makes what you already own work smarter. Brivo's May multifamily releases add three integrations—video intercom via Mobile Pass, Wi-Fi thermostat control, and upgraded dormakaba locks… **Content:** The best technology investments are the ones that make everything you already have work smarter. That is the idea behind Brivo’s May multifamily releases. This month, Brivo expanded the Brivo Security Suite with three new integrations built specifically for multifamily operators: a video intercom experience delivered through the Brivo Mobile Pass, Wi-Fi thermostat management inside the platform operators already run, and a significant upgrade to the existing dormakaba lock integration that adds guest management and real-time lock monitoring. Each release adds meaningful capability to what Brivo already does. None of them require new apps for residents or new portals for operators. ## One App for Every Door and Every Call ### Brivo Security Suite Intercom Powered by Swiftlane For years, multifamily operators have managed building entry through a patchwork of disconnected systems. Residents download one app for door access and a different app to answer a visitor call from the lobby. Property managers juggle separate portals. And somewhere in the utility room, a dedicated landline is running up a bill that no one can quite justify. **Brivo Security Suite Intercom, powered by Swiftlane, changes that.** Starting this month, Brivo integrates with [Swiftlane](https://swiftlane.com/)‘s award-winning video intercom hardware to deliver visitor calls directly to the Brivo Mobile Pass. Residents use the same app they already use to access doors, amenities, and parking to see who is at the entrance, verify them on video, and release the door from anywhere. No second app. No separate intercom portal. Visitors have two ways to reach a resident. They can select a name from the intercom directory on the touchscreen, or they can scan a QR Placard placed near the entry point to initiate a call from their own smartphone without touching the device at all. It is a frictionless experience for guests and a significant operational improvement for properties managing high volumes of deliveries, service providers, and short-term visitors. The Swiftlane intercom line includes four hardware models ranging from a compact 5″ display to a flagship 10″ touchscreen, all IP65 weather-rated and built for exterior installation. The hardware includes internet connectivity, eliminating the dedicated landline that traditional callbox systems require. For properties paying for a callbox landline, that saving alone makes a compelling case. Brivo Security Suite Intercom is available in North America with intercom hardware purchased through Brivo. ## One Platform for Doors, Locks, and Now Temperature ### Brivo + Resideo Wi-Fi Thermostat Integration Managed Wi-Fi has become a standard amenity in multifamily communities. Operators invest in the infrastructure to keep residents connected, but until now that investment stopped at connectivity. **The smart apartment capabilities that residents expec**t, including thermostat control from their phone, have required additional hardware, additional platforms, and additional apps to deliver. Brivo’s integration with [Resideo](https://www.resideo.com/us/en/) changes the equation. Honeywell T-series Wi-Fi thermostats are now managed directly inside Brivo Security Suite and Brivo Mobile Pass (BMP). Property administrators can monitor thermostat status, adjust unit temperatures, and receive alerts from the same dashboard they use to manage access control and video surveillance. Residents control the temperature in their own unit from BMP, the app already on their phone, without downloading anything new. Because the integration is Wi-Fi native, it runs on the managed Wi-Fi infrastructure properties have already deployed. There is no Z-Wave hub to install in every unit, no additional hardware procurement, and no separate maintenance contract. For operators who have already invested in managed Wi-Fi, this is the clearest possible return on that infrastructure: **the same network that powers resident connectivity now powers access control and climate management**, all visible from a single dashboard in the Brivo Security Suite. The Resideo thermostat integration is included in the Brivo Multifamily Edition under B-ACS-UC-M (Smart Unit Automation), available in North America. ## More From the Integration Already in Place ### Brivo + dormakaba Guest Management and Live Updates Properties running Brivo and [dormakaba](https://www.dormakaba.com/us-en) locks together have a solid access control foundation. This month, that foundation gets significantly more capable. Brivo’s expanded dormakaba integration adds two features that address the operational gaps most commonly handled outside the platform today: guest management and real-time lock monitoring for dormakaba compatible locks. Guest management gives property managers and residents a built-in workflow to issue temporary or recurring access to visitors without manual key handoffs, front desk involvement, or credentials that never get revoked. Passes are created inside Brivo Security Suite or Brivo Mobile Pass with granular controls over time windows, locations, and user types. Guests receive access via mobile or web credentials through the compatible dormakaba hardware already installed at the property. Every visit is logged and reportable, giving property teams the audit trail they need when a compliance or liability question arises. Live updates add something that was previously missing from the integration entirely: real-time visibility. Lock and unlock events and battery status now surface inside the Brivo Security Suite as they happen, without waiting for a scheduled report or relying on a resident complaint to flag an issue. For regional managers overseeing multiple properties, that visibility is the difference between proactive management and reactive problem-solving. No new hardware is required. These capabilities expand what operators can already do with the dormakaba integration already in place. The guest management and live updates expansion is available globally through the Brivo Partner Portal with the purchase of Brivo Security Suite. ## The Bigger Picture Each of these releases solves a specific, real problem that multifamily operators deal with every day. But together they represent something more significant: Brivo becoming the complete operating layer for the modern multifamily property. Access control has always been Brivo’s foundation. May’s releases extend that foundation into the visitor experience, the resident environment, and the real-time awareness that property teams need to run efficient, secure communities. All delivered through the platform and the app that operators and residents are already using. For operators looking to reduce vendor complexity, improve the resident experience, and get more from the technology investments already in place, the direction is clear. ### More of what you need.

A new workflow makes the Brivo and Eagle Eye APIs 'AI-native'—an agent skill that gives AI coding tools the context to script Brivo video fast… **Content:** Integrating video and access doesn’t have to be a multi-day project. A new workflow makes the Brivo and Eagle Eye APIs “AI-Native”—essentially making the documentation a tool for your own AI agents. ## The Secret Sauce: The EEN-API Agent Skill We’ve created an EEN-API agent skill that gives AI coding tools the context they need to work with the Eagle Eye API more effectively. Instead of manually digging through documentation, copying endpoint details, and correcting outdated assumptions, you can load your AI assistant with the skill and give it a focused task. The skill is designed to provide your agent with the required context for developing against our API in a structured way. ## The “High-Velocity” Starter Kit To show you how much faster this is, we’ve put together a few example prompts you can use to put our API through its paces. Try them yourself or customize them to fit your specific use case. > /een-api Create a small CLI tool that authenticates with the Eagle Eye API and lists the cameras available to my account. The tool should obtain the required client credentials from a `.env` file, walk a user through the authentication process, and print the camera names and IDs in a readable table. > /een-api Create a node.js web application that authenticates with the Eagle Eye API and allows a user to search for a camera and view a live feed of what it sees. The application should obtain the required client credentials from a .env file. The agent skill gives your AI assistant enough API context to generate the authentication flow, call the right endpoints, and produce a working piece of software that you can inspect, run, and adapt. Instead of starting from a blank file, you start from a working integration pattern. ### What will you build when the documentation handles itself?

How standardizing on Brivo unified physical security and cut incident response times by 95%… **Content:** A global medical manufacturing company developing life-saving equipment chose Brivo to protect its personnel and high-value equipment at more than 26 sites globally. ## Challenges + Goals: Eliminating Silos in Multi-Site Security Management When the company’s Security Manager joined in 2021, the organization lacked a centralized physical security program. Security was managed disparately by various departments using a patchwork of different tools. He was tasked with building a unified, cloud-based program from the ground up and rolling out standardized access control and video surveillance across global operations. “We were managing systems at approximately 20 sites, all of which were on-premise,” said the Security Manager. “It was essentially a free-for-all with sites managing systems independently. Everything was tied to a specific on-site desktop computer. We lacked visibility, and it wasn’t secure. If there was an urgent termination or a change needed, someone had to physically go to that computer; it couldn’t happen instantly.” To solve this, his primary requirement was a solution that enabled “on-the-go” management. Brivo was the clear choice because its cloud-native platform allowed his team to manage security remotely and respond to incidents in real-time. ## Solution: Standardizing Multi-Site Access Control, Video Surveillance, and System Integration Today, the medical manufacturer uses the cloud-native platform [Brivo Security Suite](https://www.brivo.com/products/brivo-security-suite/) for access control, video monitoring, badging, and reporting across its global footprint. This centralized approach allows them to monitor various doors and devices and secure highly sensitive areas, such as R&D spaces, from a single dashboard. The security manager can also delegate specific permissions to HR, warehouse managers, and facilities personnel—empowering them to manage their respective areas while maintaining centralized oversight. To further ensure efficient operations, Brivo is integrated with the company’s [identity management system](https://www.brivo.com/products/identity-connector/), automating user provisioning and de-provisioning. New hire profiles are automatically generated in Brivo, and access is instantly revoked upon termination. This integration eliminates the need for manual data entry and ensures that security protocols are enforced the moment an HR status changes. Another key component of their physical security strategy is the integration of Eagle Eye Networks cameras into the Brivo dashboard. This unification links live camera feeds directly to access events, providing their team with actionable analytics and a clear visual record of every entry point. To complete the security picture, the security manager plans to expand its ecosystem to include: - - [**Integrated Intrusion**](https://www.brivo.com/products/intrusion-alarm-systems/): Incorporating Bosch intrusion systems into the Brivo Security Suite for a unified view of all alarms. - [**Brivo Door Stations**](https://www.brivo.com/doorstation/): Deploying hardware with built-in video and intercom for enhanced visitor management and at-the-door security. ## Results + Benefits: 95% Faster Incident Response > ***“Having the right tools in place now allows me to sleep better at night. Knowing I have the necessary systems at my fingertips, whether I am on an airplane or in a car, and can address issues globally from anywhere, has increased my trust in the program.”*** ### Centralized, cloud security: With Brivo, the Security Manager has found the difference in response speed to be “night and day” compared to on-premise solutions, as the team can monitor events live from local security stations or remote locations. “Being able to log in and monitor all 26 sites from one place and make sure that everybody’s on the same page makes for a more secure environment. Having that level of tracking and real-time monitoring from any location is a huge advantage. It definitely saves us time—and as they say, time is money.” By centralizing credential management, the company eliminated the data silos of its legacy systems. This resolved the duplicate credentials and conflicting facility codes that previously created a ripple effect of errors in HR time-tracking and payroll. ### Unified access and video events When an incident occurs, the team can respond and resolve the issue much faster. “The system automatically generates video clips linked to badge usage, **allowing us to verify identity** **in seconds, whereas it used to take hours of manual data scrubbing.**” This instant visibility enables rapid, remote resolution. He can now locate and email incident footage in **under five minutes** via his mobile device — a process that previously required a physical trip to the site. ### Integrations for improved operations In addition to the security benefit of instantly revoking access rights, connecting their Identity Management Systems with Brivo saves significant time and labor by automating data entry that was once a manual burden. “We’re saving manpower hours every day,” says the Security Manager. Teams previously spent 60 hours a week on manual entry before the integration was active. ([View Brivo’s integration marketplace](https://www.brivo.com/resources/brivo-integration-marketplace/) to see what’s possible for your business.) ### Simple scalability The medical company has expanded since 2021, and the Security Manager noted that scaling security at their pace would not have been possible with their legacy system. From start to finish, the installation and merging of systems took about a week per location, whereas their old solution would have taken closer to three or four weeks. “With every location, the implementation was very fast. It was largely plug-and-play because we were able to reuse legacy components like Mercury panels and card readers. The transition was so seamless that most employees were unaware the switch had even happened.” ### Ready to see how Brivo can transform your business?

Learn the ground truths about field of view, zoom, distortion, and dewarping… **Content:** When you select a camera for video surveillance, an important aspect that you’re actually choosing is the camera’s lens. Just like typical cameras you use to take snapshots, surveillance cameras have a field of view (FoV). That simply means the size of the real-world scene they can capture at once. With a greater field of view, you can cover a wider stretch of a given area, while a narrower field of view allows you to show greater detail — but of a smaller area. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Lens-Blog_1-min-1024x534.jpg)Every lens width comes with tradeoffs. The wider the field of view, the more distortion it will introduce, and the less of the camera’s sensors can be devoted to each person, vehicle, or object on screen. Basically, you can choose whether to get the biggest possible view of a scene, or the greatest possible detail of particular things within it. (So, the field of view is intimately linked to [camera resolution,](https://www.een.com/blog/video-surveillance-101-why-resolution-matters/) and it makes sense to consider them at the same time.) ## How wide is your lens… right now? A further complication: Some cameras feature varifocal lenses, which means they can physically zoom into or out of a scene. Others are built with a single, non-zooming lens, which means they have a constant field of view. These are commonly known as fixed lenses. An object of the same size at the same distance will always take up the same amount of space (meaning, the same number of pixels) on a fixed-lens camera’s sensor. The image the camera creates can be cropped, but the original data from the camera will always show the same field of view. With a varifocal lens, the number of pixels devoted to a given object depends on how closely the lens has been zoomed in on it. A zoomed-in camera can capture details of a car, or read the writing on the side of a distant package — but at the expense of missing the objects that are outside its tightened field of view. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Lens-Blog_3-min-1024x552.jpg) ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Lens-Blog_2-min-1024x552.jpg) ## Distorting the data If they can’t capture as much detail, why select a wide lens at all? Simplicity and economy are both good reasons. Wider-lensed cameras allow a far smaller number of cameras to cover a given area, and for many purposes, their lower resolution per object is completely acceptable. It also comes at a lower cost. Not only is each camera simpler, with fewer moving parts, but there are fewer cameras overall, less network bandwidth to account for, and fewer cables to route. In detecting motion after hours in a warehouse or on a loading dock, a wider view allows a single viewer to see more of the scene at once without losing any important information. However, the actual image that the lens creates will exhibit some degree of warping, or distortion — very much like the convex side-view mirror in a car. This effect is especially visible with extremely wide lenses, including the ones known as fisheye lenses. With ultra-wide-view cameras, even people, vehicles, or other common objects may be difficult to recognize, never mind interpret, and details such as text are nearly impossible for a person to read. Various points between these extremes offer different combinations of wide coverage, close-up details, and fidelity to the observed scene. Fixed lenses have another advantage, too: They tend to be brighter (that is, they let in more light, for a clearer and more detailed image). In addition to typically being less bright overall, most varifocal lenses admit much less light when they are zoomed in at their greatest magnification. That’s why for some purposes — like reading license plates or ID badges, or looking at a distant parking lot — fixed lenses and narrow viewing angles are called for, while in others, the advantages of seeing the whole picture at once, or a minimal camera count, outweigh the effect of camera distortion. What about when excessive distortion just isn’t acceptable, but a wide field of view is called for? ## One escape path: Multi-sensor cameras Multi-sensor cameras stitch together the output of two or more relatively narrow FoV cameras housed in a single chassis, creating a wide image with far less distortion than a single lens with a wide enough angle to span the same FoV. (Or, these cameras’ outputs could be transmitted separately, effectively putting multiple cameras in a single box but without combining their outputs into a single frame.) Either way, multi-sensor cameras (like the Eagle Eye [DX-01](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Eagle-Eye-DX01-Camera-Data-Sheet.pdf) and [DX-02](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Eagle-Eye-DX02-Camera-Data-Sheet.pdf)) simplify placement and mounting, compared to multiple cameras, because they cut the number of chassis needed. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Lens-Blog_5-min-1024x534.jpg) ## Squaring the circle with dewarping technology In some settings, whether because of tight physical constraints for mounting or a need to make a camera unobtrusive, the best choice of camera is one with an extremely wide angle. This could include a full 180° or even 360° viewing angle. With these extreme wide-angle (fisheye) lenses, one part of the transmitted image may be clear but exaggerated, but the rest of the scene may look essentially like an abstract artwork, and be near useless to humans viewing it. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Lens-Blog_4-min-1024x534.jpg)The approach to make this distorted image useful is to apply algorithms to digitally stretch or compress its elements — “dewarping” it— creating a rectangular image that shows the same scene in a much more natural viewing aspect. Even if some small degree of distortion remains, a viewer can readily make out the content of the image, as if it came from a much flatter lens. This kind of image transformation is much easier to describe than to perform. Especially for video, it’s a computationally intensive process, because each frame needs to be transformed. Accordingly, video is often left in its original, distorted form unless a particular segment is called for. However, fast dewarping has become far more practical, thanks to both cloud computing (which allows processing on powerful computers upstream of the camera) and the increasing capabilities built into cameras themselves. With high-resolution sensors and a sharp monofocal lens, even fisheye lenses can yield excellent results. Want to know more about how camera choice affects your surveillance options?

Eagle Eye Networks is the first to build gun detection into its platform. At a press conference held at the Capital Factory today, leaders from St. Thomas University in Houston, Valor School in Austin, St. Julian Episcopal Church in Austin, the Capital Factory, law enforcement, and security technology experts shared why they are adopting the technology. While millions of security cameras are installed worldwide, they are not generally used for proactive security. Now, with *Eagle Eye Gun Detection*, schools and businesses can transform their existing security cameras from a passive recording device into a proactive gun detection system, a vital tool for prevention and protection. *Eagle Eye Gun* *Detection* analyzes video streams with AI to detect brandished guns. Early detection gains schools and businesses valuable time to take action and potentially save lives in an active shooter situation. Combined with [Eagle Eye 911 Camera Sharing](https://www.een.com/911-camera-sharing/), the 911 center also gains secure access, enabling 911 operators can give first responders vital information about what is happening at the scene of an emergency. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States, surpassing car accidents and other causes in recent years,[ according to data from the CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/firearm-violence/data-research/facts-stats/). In 2024, there were 503 mass shootings in the US. More than 3,700 children and teens under 18 were injured, and 1,403 died. It is also a major public safety, public health, and economic concern. The annual economic impact of gun violence in the U.S. is estimated at $557 billion, according to the [ Gun Violence Archive.](https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/) To deliver the highest possible visual gun detection accuracy, Eagle Eye engineered a Triple-layer Verification system that uses two levels of AI and one level of human verification. **Eagle Eye’s Triple-layer Verification** consists of: 1. **Rapid Edge AI:** Video from security cameras is continuously analyzed for potential brandished guns by the Eagle Eye AI Bridge on location at the school or business. An AI model appropriately sized for widespread edge deployment is utilized. 2. **Advanced Cloud AI:** When a potential gun is detected, the appropriate video is instantly transmitted to the Eagle Eye Cloud for analysis by a very large-scale Eagle Eye AI model. The use of a very large model in the cloud provides accuracy and reduces false positives. 3. **Eagle Eye Human Review Service:** When the Advanced Cloud AI detects an actual gun, the Eagle Eye Human Review Service, staffed with trained professionals, verifies that a gun is present. The customer’s emergency response sequence and notifications are then executed. The response typically includes SMS messages, phone calls, and emails to key security or company personnel, law enforcement, response service, key executives, and emergency responders. Additional benefits of the system include: - The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (video management system) is the first and only VMS with integrated gun detection. - As part of the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS, an open platform, *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* customers can easily add additional AI features and integrate with an unlimited number of third-party technology providers. - *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* works in conjunction with [Eagle Eye 911 Camera Sharing](https://www.een.com/911-camera-sharing/) to give 911 operators access to live and recorded video feeds from security cameras near the scene of an emergency, dramatically improving situational awareness for first responders and response time. Unfortunately, no single technology can solve gun violence, it requires a multi-layered approach where different techniques—such as visual gun detection, access control, metal detectors, panic buttons, training of staff and students, execution of practice drills, fencing, secure areas, and other physical barriers—provide different layers of security and work in concert with human oversight to ensure optimal protection. *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* adds a crucial new layer that should be used in a comprehensive approach to ensure safety. Business, school, and church leaders praised *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* as an essential technology for all organizations. > Gun detection that is AI-powered, triple-verified, camera agnostic, and able to work in tandem with other security systems is a game-changer. It’s a layered approach to security, and I think it is what every university should be doing. > > **H.E. Jenkins, Chief of Police, St. Thomas University, Houston** > “We want kids to be able to be kids. And students and faculty should be able to focus on learning without having to be distracted by security. We really try to keep security as unobtrusive as possible. *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* is an additional defensive layer to speed up response, and mitigate and prevent a potentially dangerous situation before it escalates.” > > **Matthew Schwandt, Director of Operations, Valor School, Austin** > We want our congregation to feel safe and protected while they’re here to worship and be with others in the community. We hope it is never needed, but we are happy to have *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* technology in place because it provides additional protection beyond security cameras. It can be more proactive, identifying and alerting the right people to take action if necessary. > > **Ross Perry, Board Member, St. Julian of Norwich Episcopal Church, Austin** > I was very impressed with the speed and the accuracy of the gun detection alert. I often see situations in schools, hospitals, and public spaces where gun detection could have a major impact. For law enforcement and other first responders, many calls are reactionary. Extra time and early detection are critical to response. I also believe if we use *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* combined with Eagle [*Eye 911 Camera Sharing*](https://www.een.com/911-camera-sharing/)*,* we have the potential to provide crucial early detection, notification, and additional live-scene updates to increase response time and improve law enforcement’s capability to limit or stop life-threatening situations. > > **John Murphy, Owner, ProTecVideo, Mobile, Alabama** (Eagle Eye reseller and former law enforcement. Leading *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* beta test at Gulf Coast Technology Center) > We’ve been using the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (video management system) for more than a decade, so it was turnkey and seamless to add *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* to our existing system. With real-time text message notifications and human verification, we can be confident we’ll be the first to know about any potential threats. > > **Joshua Baer, Founder and CEO, Capital Factory, Austin** “At Eagle Eye Networks, making the world a safer place is our mission,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Eagle Eye Networks. “Working with organizations like the Capital Factory, St. Thomas University, Valor Schools, St. Julian Episcopal Church, alongside our dedicated law enforcement and public officials, the launch of *Eagle Eye Gun Detection* is much more than a product launch, it’s a community-supported security and safety initiative.” **ABOUT EAGLE EYE NETWORKS** Eagle Eye Networks is the global leader in cloud video surveillance, delivering cyber-secure, cloud-based video with artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics to make businesses more efficient and the world a safer place.

Some of those remote-view scenarios come down to movie magic — but not all of them. Behemoth companies, government agencies and militaries, and other large-scale users really have been able to view video remotely for a long time, but doing so was an expensive and involved project. Remote video transmission of analog signals is what let people around the world watch NASA’s lunar landing more than 50 years ago, after all. Since then, and especially in the last decade, the cost and availability of distant surveillance viewing have changed rapidly and radically. In fact, for anyone considering a new or upgraded video surveillance system today, remote video viewing of some kind is a standard expectation. Even consumer-level security cameras typically allow viewing via cloud-based access — and in fact may allow nothing else. ## What is remote video monitoring? It’s helpful to distinguish between the ability to simply view a video at a distance and actual remote video *monitoring*. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rvm-blog-1.jpg)Any time camera output is being watched or monitored by professionals at a substantial distance from the camera itself, it’s an instance of remote video monitoring. You could consider a video monitoring station located in the basement of a large office building or across an industrial complex from a production area to be a remote video monitoring system. Usually, though, the term is thought of as applying to observation from even greater distances, whether that means across town or across the country. Making that possible in decades past usually involved dedicated physical networking links. It meant transmitting still frames at intervals via slow-scan video, or delivering analog camera output over a dedicated coaxial cable – obviously an expensive proposition. (In the same way, alarm systems often required a dedicated phone connection.) ## Increasing resolution, rising capabilities, galloping bandwidth Eventually, digital conversion hardware converted an analog camera’s output into a more easily transmitted digital signal, and sufficient bandwidth for high-resolution video became affordable. Both of these changes have made remote video monitoring a widely practical option. As a result, our expectations for capabilities, price, and availability have changed. What would have required long, direct cable runs in a multi-site closed-circuit television system can now be effected across network links at any distance with no loss of signal fidelity. And the kind of remote viewing that modern infrastructure makes possible is qualitatively different. What defines modern remote video monitoring? With Eagle Eye Remote Video Monitoring as an example, customers today can expect remote monitoring that is: - Cloud mediated. No direct connection necessary between a customer site and a monitoring center. - Permission-governed and cybersecure: Camera streams are shared only with authorized monitoring centers, and data is encrypted at all stages between the customer and remote monitors. - Two-directional and proactive: Monitoring professionals aren’t limited to calling a manager or law enforcement when they see an incident; they can trigger recordings audible at the customer’s site to warn away thieves or trespassers, or issue live warnings. They can also trigger any available actions, such as contacting personnel on- or off-site through a range of communication options, or initiating a lockdown of the premises. And they may also have instant access to other recent video, or be able to instantly zoom in or point a camera in a different direction. ## The importance of initial filtering Perhaps most importantly: video surveillance today doesn’t require the kind of always-on human attention that it did even a decade ago. AI systems can recognize and categorize motion, capturing information such as license plates, clothing colors, or the number of people within a camera’s view. AI can also filter out events like motion caused by wind or animals. That way, remote observers can focus on incidents most likely to matter. And crucially in an era of spiraling costs, that means you’re also not paying someone simply to watch mostly uneventful video. The AI is always on, and never takes the kind of breaks that humans need to keep their attention sharp. So when an AI-detected event does trigger an alert, a monitoring professional can see it with fresh eyes, rather than burdened by fatigue. ## What are the benefits of remote video monitoring? Here are five ways that remote video monitoring leverages cloud-centered video sharing capabilities for practical benefit to organizations of all kinds. **Reduced need for in-person guard staff.** This saves on headcount costs and allows guards to be deployed more efficiently and safely. Far better to have a camera view of a dangerous situation than require on-site personnel to approach that situation up close. **Fast reactions.** Monitoring professionals can evaluate events for instant action outside of normal business hours, when a manager might be sleeping, slowing the kind of reaction that would be possible during normal operations. **In-person safety**: In the event of a dangerous situation, remote video monitoring allows people to be evacuated to safety without compromising situational awareness. For example, if AI detects a gun, trained staffers can immediately escalate the situation. **Scalability across sites**: Remote monitoring for a new location or building can be readily spun up simply by adding remote video streams for monitoring. **Human eyes on distant sites:** For large-scale industrial locations, remote monitoring makes it easy to keep an eye on complex installations. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/rvm-blog-2.jpg) ## How is remote video monitoring paid for? Monitoring providers can use a variety of billing models. Remote video monitoring requires alignment with the actual monitoring provider, which may require an initial setup fee. Ultimately, though, ongoing charges for monitoring will likely reflect a fixed minimum charge per month (or other time period), likely based on the number of cameras covered and specified service levels. Additionally, monitoring charges may reflect the number of incidents actually viewed and the actual time required to resolve and report them. Customers may actually pay for the service through a security installer, rather than directly to a monitoring provider. In that case, especially, they may pay a predictable flat rate per month, rather than on a per-incident basis. ## What to look for in an RVM provider? Remote video monitoring providers vary in their pricing models and costs. End users and other decision makers should consider a potential vendor’s longevity and locality. A consistent business history is a good clue that they’ll be around in the future. And for regulatory reasons and familiarity with local law enforcement practices, as well as ease in following escalation plans, a provider in the same state, region, or country may be preferred. For specialized or highly regulated businesses, too, a provider with specifically trained personnel in that field may be worth pursuing. Considering the benefits of remote video monitoring?

Why your lobby is the first line of defense—and where small lapses cause big problems… **Content:** You’ve secured the doors, installed the cameras, and set up keycard and mobile access. But there’s one checkpoint every single person passes through: the front desk. It’s where hospitality meets security, and even the smallest lapse can cause big problems. With [office entries climbing](https://envoy.com/workplace-management/the-real-drivers-of-rto-in-2025?utm_source=brivo&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=brivo-partnership-launch)—rising by as much as 35% in the past year—more people to screen means more chances for slip-ups. In a workplace full of employees, contractors, and visitors, the front desk isn’t just a welcome. It’s security in action. ## Manual sign-ins leave your company exposed Handwritten sign-ins can’t keep up with today’s pace. They’re slow, easy to bypass, and give you no real-time view of who’s on site. During emergencies, audits, or just a busy check-in period, paper logs leave you blind to risks and gaps in security. Relying on pen and paper turns your front desk into the weakest link rather than a first line of defense. Here’s how it holds your team back: - Doesn’t deter unauthorized visitors - Gives you zero real-time visibility - Slows down emergency response - Complicates audits and compliance checks It’s no surprise that 53% of workplace leaders want to [update their devices and protocols](https://envoy.com/ebooks/workplace-security-report?utm_source=brivo&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=brivo-partnership-launch)—moving away from outdated manual processes—to improve onsite security. During a fire alarm, safety incident, or unexpected visitor, manual tracking slows responses, increasing risk to people, property, and compliance. Even a single suspicious visitor can create a problem. With only a paper log, your team can’t quickly alert security or verify permissions. ## Digital visitor management protects your people—and your operations Modern visitor management systems combine security and efficiency in one platform—a win for both your security team and anyone walking through your doors. According to a [Brivo Security Trends report](https://www.brivo.com/evolving-access-control-can-create-a-modern-high-tech-facility-experience/), 84% of access control users say experience is a top priority—making a smooth, fast check-in essential. **By moving away from paper sign-ins and manual processes, you can:** **Control access instantly.** Pre-register guests, verify identities against watchlists, and issue time-bound badges automatically. For example, a vendor arriving for scheduled equipment maintenance can be checked in and given limited access to the specific area they need—no manual approvals required.**Know who’s onsite all the time, in real time.** Access a live, centralized dashboard of every person who steps onsite: visitors, contractors, vendors, auditors, inspectors, and temporary staff. If a surprise compliance audit hits, your team can quickly see who’s onsite and pull past visitor logs in seconds.**Speed up arrivals without lowering your guard.** Shorten wait times while keeping screening standards high. Employees and regular visitors can scan pre-issued QR codes for a fast check-in, while the system still flags anyone who requires additional verification. When paired with your building’s access control, visitor management goes from reactive check-ins to proactive security, keeping track of who enters, when, and where. The result? Stronger protection and a better visitor experience—without front desk bottlenecks. ## From check-ins to compliance: one system, total visibility As your business grows and more people pass through its doors, keeping security consistent gets more complex. A unified security strategy links your people, property, and data, helping you spot risks, enforce policies, and respond quickly to incidents. To make that strategy work in practice, your team needs solutions that give them clear oversight and control. Enter [Brivo Visitor Management powered by Envoy](https://www.brivo.com/products/visitor-management), designed to turn check-ins into proactive security, full visibility, and smooth operations across your workplace. ## Centralized control for all visitor activity ### Screen visitors in advance Automate screening to capture accurate visitor details every time Flag anyone on watchlists to prevent unwanted entry ### Manage access instantly Give guests temporary, role-based access to specific areas Automatically print badges and alert hosts for a smoother check-in ### Keep detailed records Capture every sign-in for compliance and incident review Quickly generate reports on visitor activity and access Managing visitor logs, access permissions, and alerts from a single platform gives your team a true source of truth for workplace security.

Why secure cloud storage and proactive AI threat awareness are now essential… **Content:** On a bustling Monday evening in Manhattan, a bustling symbol of business and ambition became a scene of horror. The shooting at 345 Park Avenue, a building housing some of the world’s most prominent companies, was a brutal wake-up call. It was a tragedy that claimed innocent lives — an off-duty police officer, a dedicated executive, a brave security guard, and a promising young employee — and left a community reeling. This wasn’t a failure of a single security component; it was a testament to the fact that in today’s unpredictable world, relying on any single layer of defense is simply not enough. True security demands a multi-faceted approach incorporating physical security, Secure Cloud Surveillance, and proactive analytics. ## Layer one: The foundation of physical security 345 Park Avenue was not without its defenses. It had a physical security presence, including an off-duty NYPD officer, Didarul Islam, and an unarmed security guard, Aland Etienne. These heroes were the first line of defense, and they lost their lives attempting to stop the attacker. Their presence was a critical deterrent, and their actions may have saved dozens of lives. But they were not enough to stop a determined, heavily armed attacker. Physical security is the bedrock of any protection plan. It includes everything you can physically touch: access controls, lockable doors, uniformed guards, and bulletproof glass. These are the barriers that make it difficult to breach a secured space. However, they are inherently reactive. A guard can only respond to what he sees, and a lock can only stop someone who hasn’t found a way around it. The bravery of Officer Islam and Mr. Etienne cannot be overstated, but the reality is that their physical presence was not a complete solution. ## Layer two: Secure data retention The second layer, and one that played a crucial role in the investigation, is secure cloud surveillance. Surveillance cameras were indeed active at 345 Park Avenue. They captured the moment Tamura entered the building, rifle in hand. Footage shows his movements through the lobby, his ascent in the elevator, and his deadly actions on the 33rd floor. This video evidence allowed law enforcement to quickly understand the attacker’s trajectory and ultimately, confirm his motive and actions. In the chaotic moments following a tragedy, a clear and untampered record of events is essential for both a swift response and a thorough investigation. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/park-ave-blog-damanged-dvr.png)But here’s the key distinction: this surveillance was effective *after* the fact. It documented the crime, but it didn’t prevent it. What separates standard surveillance from **secure cloud surveillance** is the power of the cloud itself. Storing video data securely off-site ensures that critical evidence is always protected and can be made available to authorities. This is a non-negotiable step in building a resilient security posture. A local recorder could have been easily targeted and destroyed, but a cloud-based system guarantees a permanent record. ## Layer three: AI-powered analytics Now, imagine if the existing system had a third, more proactive layer: **AI-powered analytics**. This is where the narrative shifts from documentation of a tragedy to potential prevention. AI is not just about recording; it’s about understanding. Imagine this: As Tamura exits his car on Park Avenue, AI-powered cameras instantly recognize his military-style rifle and the tactical gear he is wearing. The system, trained to identify weapons and suspicious behavior, immediately flags this as a critical threat and alerts both the on-site security team and law enforcement. That gives the security team precious seconds, or even a full minute, of heads-up. The unarmed security guard at the desk, Aland Etienne, isn’t caught off guard. He is alerted and knows to initiate lockdown protocols and direct people to safety. The off-duty officer, Didarul Islam, is forewarned and has a chance to take a tactical position. The AI system could have identified the potential threat *before* the first shot was fired, allowing for a proactive response rather than a reactive one. Furthermore, AI could have made the response even more effective. The system could have tracked Tamura’s movement in real-time, sending live, actionable intelligence to responding officers. It could have mapped his path, identified the elevators he was using, and even alerted officers to his location on the 33rd floor. In a chaotic, high-stress situation, this kind of intelligence is the difference between a successful intervention and a prolonged, deadly standoff. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/park-ave-blog-alerting-security.png) ## The three-layered approach in action The tragedy at 345 Park Avenue, where a man with a documented history of grievances with the NFL bypassed security and took innocent lives, illustrates that even a modern, well-maintained building is vulnerable. This is the value of the triple-layer security model. It’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s about building a defense system that is smarter, more resilient, and more proactive than the threats it faces. The heroism of the victims at 345 Park Avenue deserves to be honored. The best way we can do that is to help ensure that a tragedy like this is never repeated. **Categories:** Security --- ### [Brivo Enhances Security Suite with Launch of Brivo Visitor Management, Powered by Envoy](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-enhances-suite-with-visitor-management/) **Published:** August 13, 2025 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Brivo Security Suite adds Visitor Management, powered by Envoy.

Here's how to fight it… **Content:** ## A Proactive Approach to Fortify Your Physical Security We often look to the horizon for the next security threat, but a significant challenge to your business is likely hiding in plain sight: Security Debt. This isn’t about predicting future vulnerabilities, it’s the consequences of past decisions. Across the industry, security leaders are grappling with security debt—a hidden cost stemming from years of opting for quick fixes, patching together systems, and deferring crucial maintenance. Now, the inherent risks within this neglected physical security infrastructure are becoming critically apparent. Brivo Founder and CEO, Steve Van Till, recently explored this topic in depth during a webinar with Security Today: [“Overcoming Security Debt, Why Unified Cloud-Native Access Control is a Foundation for Modern Security.”](https://securitytoday.com/webcasts/2025/06/cloud-storage.aspx) Here we recap the key insights from the webinar, examining why unified cloud-native access control is not merely an option, but a foundational element for modern security. ## Understanding Security Debt You’re likely familiar with “technical debt”; security debt is its close cousin. This concept describes the accumulation of risks, vulnerabilities, and inefficiencies within a security system that arise from unaddressed needs. It represents a growing backlog of essential fixes, improvements, and modifications that are often delayed or simply neglected. This buildup ultimately creates significant operational hurdles for system managers and notably increases an organization’s overall risk ## Common Causes of Security Debt and the Impact on Physical Security Several factors commonly contribute to the accumulation of security debt: ### Underbudgeting Often, the root cause of security debt stems from insufficient budgeting. Security departments frequently compete with revenue-generating areas for funds, making it difficult to keep systems updated, particularly as an organization expands its workforce or physical footprint. ### Rushed Development and Implementation Major company moves, such as mergers, acquisitions, new locations, often depend on swift security rollouts under tight deadlines, which can lead to “cutting corners” and building in debt from the start. ### Outdated Technology Dated security systems—whether inherited or neglected for years—simply don’t perform as effectively as modern solutions, making aging software and hardware clear contributors to security debt. ### Quick Fixes We’ve all faced situations where a speedy solution seems like the smart play. But “band-aids” are only meant to be temporary. When these expedient fixes become permanent parts of your system, they inevitably contribute to your accumulating security debt. As security debt accumulates, its negative impacts become increasingly clear. You’ll likely see more frequent system failures, as reliance on quick fixes and outdated systems often leads to instability and operational glitches. Another common result is increased labor expense because staff time gets diverted from innovative projects to simply maintaining aging infrastructure—a significant and unproductive cost. There’s also a noticeable lack of system integrity. Patchwork solutions, older equipment, and mixed generations of technology can cause communication and synchronization problems, resulting in inconsistent information across your entire security system. Most critically, security breaches can become more likely as unresolved issues create substantial opportunities for attackers. **There are three main contributors to security debt: hardware, software, integrations.** **Want to dive deeper into the three main culprits? Watch the full recording.** ## Strategies for Modernizing Physical Security Fortunately, there are clear strategies to both reduce what you’ve accumulated and prevent new debt from forming. **One effective approach involves leveraging adaptable systems.** To build resilience against hardware-related debt, prioritize system software that supports multiple hardware brands. This approach, often referred to as “multi-vendor support,” expands choices for replacement and expansion, thereby mitigating limitations imposed by proprietary systems and hardware obsolescence. **Next, adopt cloud-native physical security solutions**. A major advantage of cloud services is that the provider handles continuous updates to resolve bugs, address compatibility issues, and enhance security protocols. This helps protect against future software debt. As a consumer, this means the burden of managing aging server hardware, operating systems, and software compatibility completely shifts to the provider. Many larger organizations are already integrating cloud migration into their long-term technology refresh plans, recognizing it as the future of security infrastructure. **Finally, consider unified security platforms.** These platforms directly tackle the security debt that stems from broken integrations. They ensure that all components, including both native and third-party integrations, work together. By bringing multiple security disciplines—like access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and visitor management—under one umbrella, unified systems transfer the responsibility for synchronization and updates from your team to the vendor, significantly minimizing friction points. ## Practical Steps to Overcome Physical Security Debt So, how do you actually get ahead of security debt and put these strategies into action? It all starts with smart planning and teamwork. For large organizations with many different legacy systems, a great first step is to focus on identity or credential migration. This means ensuring your existing access cards or mobile credentials continue to work everywhere, even as you gradually update different parts of your system. Next, broaden your team’s involvement. Historically, access control concerns were limited to security and facilities personnel But now, you need new voices at the table—from IT departments overseeing the tech to “experiential stakeholders” like leasing teams in apartments or co-working spaces. Their input is crucial. Finally, tackle those budget constraints. If a complete overhaul isn’t immediately possible and quick fixes feel like your only option, remember the “big picture.” Those “band-aids” aren’t long-term solutions. You need to clearly show the value of your security system to other departments, helping them understand its contributions so you can get the funding you need for critical investments.

Now SCIM and SSO work together to make Eagle Eye Cloud VMS access simpler, more secure, and easier to track… **Content:** Managing user access to business systems has long been a frustrating, time-consuming, and error-prone process for any large organization — and in the past, managing the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS access was no exception. We are proud to announce that’s no longer the case. By integrating both SCIM (which stands for “System for Cross-domain Identity Management”) and SSO (“Single Sign-on”), Eagle Eye has made it simple for enterprise users to quickly onboard and offboard users and manage permissions as users’ needs for VMS access evolve. ## Solving complicated access issues for bigger clients Once you’re beyond a handful of users with need to access the system, you quickly run into time-intensive administration tasks just to assign and manage access privileges. Think of a large organization with hundreds or even thousands of employees, many of whom require access to the VMS based on their role, department, or location. And the VMS may be only one of several apps they’ll need access to. Managing and securing that access at scale is the problem that SCIM and SSO solve. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/scim-1.png)Consider these common pain points that can make assigning the proper access difficult: - **Manually adding new users**, updating their roles, or removing access for departing employees. - **Juggling multiple passwords** for various systems, including the VMS, increasing the likelihood of weak or reused passwords. - **Tracking who has VMS access,** both for operational purposes and in anticipation of internal or external audits. - **Harmonizing VMS user accounts** with other business system accounts, for a unified view of user privileges. These challenges create inefficiencies — and they also pose security risks. Unsecured or poorly secured access leaves you vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches. ## Centrally manage authentication, authorization, and user provisioning This is where SCIM and SSO step in to automate and secure VMS user management. SCIM (pronounced “skim”) is an open standard that defines how user identities are exchanged between identity providers (IdPs) like Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, and service providers, including cloud-based VMS vendors like Eagle Eye. Think of it as a universal language for identity data. For VMS administrators, SCIM enables: - **Automated user provisioning:** When a new employee who needs VMS access joins, SCIM can automatically create an account with the correct permissions. - **Real-time updates:** Changes to user roles, departments, or other attributes in your IdP are automatically synced, ensuring that user privileges are always up-to-date. - **Automated deprovisioning:** When an employee leaves, their VMS access can be revoked as part of the deprovisioning process in your IdP, mitigating the risk of inappropriate access. - **Role management:** SCIM can sync users by their designated roles, simplifying permissions management for large teams. - **Location- or role-based camera access**: Users can be granted access to cameras based on function (such as perimeter patrol) or geographic location (such as all cameras at a single site). ## The power of Single Sign-On for VMS SSO allows users to access multiple applications with a single set of credentials and makes it easier to enable convenient multi-factor authentication (MFA). For VMS users, this means no more remembering separate passwords and fewer support requests due to lost passwords. Users can seamlessly log in to the VMS using their existing enterprise credentials, which provides an improved security posture and a better user experience. You can update credentials without needing to reissue passwords. (And of course, your VMS is just one system that your employees can get to easily through SSO.) ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/scim-2.png) In addition, all login attempts are recorded by the IdP, providing a comprehensive audit trail for compliance and security investigations. ## Better together Together, SCIM and SSO provide system administrators and IT departments a system for complete lifecycle management, from new hire to smooth offboarding, freeing up your team for more strategic initiatives. With real-time synchronization of user roles and attributes, you can easily enforce the principle of “least privilege,” ensuring users only have access to the VMS features and camera feeds necessary for their job functions. ### The practical upshot The VMS is a critical component of your physical security system. By leveraging the power of SCIM for automated identity provisioning and SSO for streamlined, secure access, organizations can enhance the value of their system through improved user management. And since both SCIM and SSO are tools that scale, you can devote a smaller slice of IT department time to managing VMS access, no matter how many people need access. **Eagle Eye Cloud VMS Enterprise Edition integrates SCIM.

AI security cameras are making that real—here's what every business owner needs to know… **Content:** Imagine walking into your security operations center and finding your team not frantically scanning dozens of screens, but instead responding strategically to precisely identified threats. This isn’t science fiction — it’s the reality AI is creating in video surveillance today. Artificial Intelligence isn’t just a buzzword anymore; it’s actively reshaping security and operational efficiency across industries. While traditional systems rely on human vigilance (with all its limitations), AI-powered surveillance never blinks, never tires, and can process information from hundreds of cameras simultaneously. This [shift from reactive to proactive security](https://www.ecmag.com/magazine/articles/article-detail/video-s-market-might-these-trends-define-2025-integrations) is transforming how businesses protect their assets and understand their operations. ## Unlocking the power of AI: Game-changing features in video security AI-powered video security systems offer a range of features that significantly enhance their effectiveness. These capabilities enable businesses to move beyond simple observation and tap into the true potential of their surveillance systems. 1. **Real-time awareness: From hindsight to foresight:** Remember the frustration of discovering security incidents hours or days after they occurred? AI eliminates this problem. By continuously analyzing video feeds and distinguishing between normal patterns and anomalies, AI-powered systems provide instant alerts when something deserves attention. A package left unattended, an unauthorized entry, or unusual crowd movement — AI identifies these concerns in real-time, allowing immediate action rather than after-the-fact investigation. 2. **Efficient video search: Finding needles in digital haystacks** Days of scrolling through hours of footage trying to locate a specific incident are long gone. AI transforms this tedious process by [converting video into searchable metadata](https://www.een.com/video-search/). Need to find every instance of a red backpack appearing in your lobby last Tuesday? Or every time someone approached a specific display case? What once took hours now takes seconds, revolutionizing how security teams conduct investigations. 3. **Behavioral analysis and prediction: Stopping problems before they start** AI’s most powerful capability might be its ability to [recognize patterns and predict events before they fully develop](https://www.een.com/video-analytics/). By learning what “normal” looks like in your environment, AI systems can identify subtle deviations that might indicate an emerging security threat or operational issue. This predictive capability allows security teams to intervene before situations escalate, transforming security from reactive to truly preventative. 4. **Facial recognition: Beyond traditional access control** In environments where identifying authorized personnel is crucial, facial recognition technology provides a powerful tool. Modern AI algorithms can accurately identify individuals even in challenging lighting conditions or when facial features are partially obscured. This capability enhances access control, improves customer service, and provides valuable intelligence during security incidents. ![](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/AI-Blog-Efficient-video-search.jpg) ![](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/AI-Blog-Loss-prevention.jpg) ## From security to strategy: Practical applications across Industries AI’s capabilities extend beyond traditional security, offering practical applications that can significantly impact various aspects of business operations. Here are some specific examples of how AI is being used to drive efficiency and improve decision-making: - **Customer flow** **Understanding the pulse of your business:** By analyzing how people move through physical spaces, retailers gain insights comparable to what web analytics provide for online stores. Which displays attract the most attention? Where do customers linger? Where do they rush through? These insights allow businesses to optimize layouts, staffing, and merchandising strategies based on actual customer behavior rather than assumptions. - **Employee performance Enhancing training and service:** When properly implemented, AI can provide valuable insights into employee-customer interactions. Are safety protocols being followed? Are customers receiving prompt attention? These observations can identify opportunities for targeted training or process improvements that enhance both safety and customer experience. - **Operational excellence** **Working smarter, not harder:** AI transforms behind-the-scenes operations by connecting disparate business systems into one intelligent network. Imagine your inventory management, staffing schedules, and security protocols all working in harmony based on real data rather than hunches. These systems optimize resource allocation, reduce waste, and identify bottlenecks before they become problems, creating a business that runs more smoothly with less effort. - **Loss prevention** **Connecting the dots:** By integrating point-of-sale data with video surveillance, businesses can quickly identify suspicious transactions and review the corresponding footage. Did a cashier skip scanning items? Are there patterns of returns that suggest fraudulent activity? [AI helps connect these dots](https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2025/01/fenton-police-deploy-ai-to-help-tackle-uptick-in-retail-theft.html), significantly improving loss prevention efforts. - **False alarm reduction Focusing on real threats:** False alarms drain resources and create “alert fatigue” that can cause real threats to be missed. AI dramatically reduces false positives by distinguishing between actual security concerns and benign events like animals, weather conditions, or camera malfunctions. This allows security personnel to focus their attention on genuine risks. ## The human element: AI as a partner, not a replacement While AI offers powerful capabilities, human judgment remains irreplaceable in security operations. AI excels at detecting patterns and anomalies, but security professionals provide the context, interpretation, and decision-making that technology alone cannot. The most effective implementations treat AI as an enhancement of human capabilities rather than a replacement for security personnel. ![](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/AI-Blog-AI-as-a-partner.png)By combining AI’s tireless monitoring with human insight and judgment, businesses create security systems that are both more efficient and more effective than either could be alone. AI-powered video surveillance isn’t a future possibility — it’s a present reality transforming how businesses approach security and operations. Organizations that embrace these technologies gain not just enhanced security, but valuable insights that drive strategic decision-making across the enterprise.

Here's why cloud-based, AI-forward surveillance gives financial institutions far more value, flexibility, and protection than legacy systems… **Content:** Banks and credit unions are inherently attractive to thieves. Since the invention of consumer banking, they’ve been the target of armed robberies and elaborate heists. And even if insurance coverage replaces the stolen money, any financial loss to crime is bad for business: customers lose confidence in that bank’s ability to protect their own holdings and their personal safety. So financial institutions are at the vanguard of physical security, and have applied both proactive and reactive measures at every part of the business – from the design of customer areas, to bulletproof glass, improved locks and vaults, overlapping security patrols, coordination with local police forces, and more. Most relevant today, banks and credit unions have been at the forefront of collecting and using visual evidence to apprehend and prosecute thieves — starting with still cameras, rapidly moving to analog closed-circuit video cameras for live viewing, then to recordings on tape, and finally to digital recordings. ![](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/een-banking-01-min.png) Today, though, video can do a lot more than just discourage crimes (or help solve them). [Smart surveillance](https://www.een.com/product/cloud-vms-system-overview/) now is key to proactive issue-spotting, and helping solve business problems. [![](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/1200-Robberies-of-US-Banks-Credit-Unions-2023.png)](https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/bank-crime-statistics-2023-091724.pdf/view)When it comes to stopping crime, the good news for institutions is that every aspect of surveillance has improved: Cameras are smaller and more capable; recording footage is far less expensive and more reliable; and recordings themselves are more accessible and provide far more detail. Nowadays, video records don’t even have to be kept on-site or in slow off-site archives, because video footage can be retained simply in the cloud, where it can also be backed up without requiring more work from a bank’s own IT staff. ![](https://www.een.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/een-banking-02-min.png)Armed robbery, though dramatic, is not the only aspect of criminal loss that modern surveillance can help combat, especially with video footage which can be instantly searched over a long period. Surveillance can also lead to the identification of criminals committing check fraud, or using electronic attacks against ATMs. (Brute-force attacks on ATMs themselves, too, can be captured on camera for instant response.) And if someone on your premises brandishes a gun, new systems can automatically spot the weapon, trigger verification, and alert bank security staff. Today’s cloud-based surveillance retention and automated analysis makes spotting and responding to any of these threats fast — sometimes in real time — compared to older systems which required time-intensive and tedious manual scrubbing simply to find periods of motion. Crucially, they also have built-in checks to reduce expensive false alarms compared to earlier generations of security systems. ## Stopping crime is just the beginning The same factors that have made surveillance smarter for conventional security, from automatic metadata creation to motion detection to intelligent, natural language search, are also the ones that enable new business abilities: - [License plate recognition](https://www.een.com/partners/?ps=license-plate-recognition), or LPR, is one the most powerful business enablers that AI systems offer. Besides spotting suspicious visits, LPR can spot returning customers, track the use of drive-through teller lanes, and even automatically trigger parking garage gates. - The ability to count people and vehicles on site can help allocate staff by location and time of day. Cut down on customer wait times in busy times, and tune staffing needs for slow periods, too. - In an emergency of any kind, sharing cameras automatically with local emergency services allows faster response and gives first responders direct information about what’s happening on the ground. - Monitor lighting and other safety conditions everywhere your institution has a presence to reduce the risks of injury and for greater customer peace of mind. - Two-way communications can turn your surveillance system into a communications system, too, to warn away trespassers or vandals before they do harm, or to offer customers instant assistance. - A dedicated cloud-based surveillance system reduces the pressure on your on-site or in-house IT teams, so they can focus on your core business needs. Finally, the things that define modern, cloud-based surveillance — secure off-site video retention, always-on AI analytics, smooth connections to third-party monitoring services, integrations with third-party software, and sophisticated built-in responses — are ones that prepare you for all the innovations still on the way. Look to this space for more thoughts on some of the factors that make bank surveillance both challenging and valuable, and on the benefits of turning surveillance from a reactive system to an important part of a bank’s business operations.

Five key considerations—from scaling as you grow to using the latest tech to actively prevent loss—for improving your retail security systems… **Content:** When thinking about the security of your retail operations, what comes to mind first? Reducing theft and shrinkage? Ensuring the physical safety of your customers and employees? These are important concerns, but what about your long-term security strategy? As your business grows, how will your current system scale? Are you using the latest technologies not just to detect and deter theft but to actively prevent it? These are critical questions for any retailer, and choosing the right security partner can make all the difference. Here are five key factors to consider when improving your retail security setup. **1. Simplicity in Security** Security systems have a tendency to be overly complex and disconnected. Not only does this cause headaches for managers, but impacts your (and your employee’s) ability to effectively respond to incidents. A centralized security platform simplifies things by bringing together access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection into one unified interface. Whether you’re managing a single store or a nationwide chain, having all your security tools in one place streamlines operations and enables better, faster decision-making. **2. Data-Driven Risk Management** Your security system generates valuable data that can help identify risks and vulnerabilities, but that data is only useful if you can access and analyze it. By using analytical tools, you can track trends like unusual access attempts, internal theft, or unauthorized entries at odd hours. This allows you to spot potential issues early and take proactive measures before they escalate into larger problems. Access to this kind of data can make a big difference in improving risk management strategies, including loss prevention. **3. The Right Tools for Quick Reactions** When a dangerous or threatening security incident takes place at your retail store, time is of the essence. The safety of both customers and employees depends on your ability to act fast. A modern security system can provide real-time alerts, integrate with video surveillance, and even initiate instant lockdowns when needed. Having these tools in place ensures that your team can respond to threats immediately, minimizing harm and disruption. **4. Scaling with Your Business** As your business grows, your security needs will change. More locations, more employees, and more vendors mean your security system must be adaptable. Whether it’s granting temporary access to delivery personnel or adjusting access permissions for new staff, a flexible security system lets you scale without unnecessary complications. Cloud-based systems offer the ability to update access and permissions in real-time from anywhere, making it easy to stay on top of your evolving security needs as your business expands. **5. Choosing a Solution You Can Trust** Choosing the right security system is a critical decision for your business. It’s not just about meeting your current needs—it’s about finding a system that can grow and adapt with your business over time. More importantly, you want a system that offers reliability and long-term value. Better yet – you need a partner. A trusted security partner can provide you with the tools and support you need to navigate the challenges of today’s retail environment while preparing for the future.

Here are five ways AI is flipping video surveillance from passive recording to proactive intervention that can actually stop incidents… **Content:** ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/AdobeStock_379346676.jpg)Most security measures are essentially reactive. An alarm is tripped or a sensor detects that a window’s been opened outside of business hours. Both of these may help even when an incident is fresh; but they can’t prevent it. Video surveillance has long been reactive too: A surveillance recording might show *when* a thief struck but could do little to stop him. How does today’s video surveillance move from reactive to proactive? Here are five ways that AI has already helped make that shift: #### **Sending alerts based on designated triggers:** Did an unknown vehicle just pull up to the loading dock? Is there movement in a hospital ward after hours? AI-powered surveillance systems can digest the content of a video stream and send alerts or trigger alarms based on previously configured rules. #### **Eliminating expensive false positives:** For businesses that use sensor-based intrusion detection systems that communicate with an alarm monitoring service or directly with local law enforcement, false alarms are more than just annoying — they’re expensive. False alarms, especially repeated ones, can trigger fees or fines costing thousands of dollars. AI can eliminate the vast majority of false alarms by preventing alarms based on wind motion, rain, or animals. That makes future triggered alarms more effective, and more trustworthy. #### **Identifying and focusing on relevant activity:** When an incident is known or suspected, looking back at recorded video is necessary, and speed may be critical and there’s little time for real-time review. Scrubbing through old-fashioned video surveillance footage is a tedious, manual task. One labor-saving aspect of AI-aided surveillance is that recorded video with no relevant activity can be automatically skipped over or discarded while periods of observed activity are highlighted for quicker review. #### **Leveraging AI for vehicle management:** AI can use increasingly sophisticated rules to trigger real-time actions based on pre-configured data, such as allow / deny lists for vehicles. License plate recognition (LPR) can isolate and analyze vehicle plates to allow known employees or pre-arranged visitors access to your premises or a parking facility. Just as more importantly, it can trigger alerts or deny entry to vehicles that are either unknown or specified as unauthorized. #### **Applying analytics for real-time knowledge:** ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/een-vms-1024x680.jpg)Smart surveillance systems do more than record screens full of pixels. Instead, they also analyze both within video frames (“Is that a backpack?”) and between sections of video (“Is this the same car that was here last night?”). Custom rules can turn information gleaned from video analysis into actions or alerts. For instance, counting abilities can help you know that a hallway or other public area is dangerously overcrowded. #### **Surveillance is so much more than cameras** These five AI capabilities are just the start, though; when a surveillance system is built with software access in mind, authorized third parties can make industry or context-specific solutions using their own analytics too. You can already obtain analytics to spot and investigate retail fraud, perform sophisticated license plate analysis, watch for work-site safety practice violations, and more. An excellent way to familiarize yourself with how AI is bringing proactive security to the forefront is by looking through the [technology partners using Eagle Eye Networks’ open API](https://www.een.com/partners/) to deliver specialized software in coordination with Eagle Eye Cloud VMS. #### **Want to see what your video surveillance system can do?** [Schedule a demo today](/request-demo/) **Categories:** Technology --- ### [Surveillance is so much more than cameras](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/surveillance-is-so-much-more-than-cameras/) **Published:** October 2, 2024 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** When you hear “video surveillance,” you picture a camera. But modern systems are so much more—software, analytics, and integrations that turn passive footage into real-time action… **Content:** ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/So-much-more-than-camreas_blog_1.jpg)When you hear “video surveillance,” the first thing you probably picture is a security camera. Conventionally, cameras have captured video — whether for live viewing by a person or a security team (to spot intruders, criminal acts, or dangerous conditions) or for later analysis when an incident demands it. That could mean outside a bank or retailer, in a manufacturing facility, or overlooking a dangerous intersection. What unites these applications is that cameras let you view and record events at a distance, from useful angles. #### **Video surveillance systems can do so much more.** Today, thanks to increasing resolution, video compression, and networking abilities (including cloud storage and management), video surveillance can do all these things much better than just a few years back. More importantly, it goes much further — by enabling you to search video as easily as you search information online and to use video data to analyze and act on what the camera sees. What if you’re looking for a way to spot whether your business is running effectively? Or if you want to spot trends, not just snapshots of current activity? What would have been impossible in the past is now available to even the smallest businesses. Here are just a few examples: - Check how busy multiple retail locations are in real time and redeploy staff as needed. - Send video clips easily for analysis without needing physical access to your premises. - Generate heatmaps based on trends over time for customer traffic to optimize staffing. Some of these capabilities illustrate how third-party partners can extend the security system you already have or how you can get more from the capabilities already built into your cameras. The same video data that puts incidents in front of your eyes can also feed a wide range of AI-driven analytics. #### **Smart Search** ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/So-much-more-than-camreas_blog_2.jpg)Slogging through recorded footage manually is a painstaking, error-prone process. Instead of searching recorded video and relying on human eyes to sort the data, AI can analyze video frame by frame to identify and classify people and objects and associate them with points on a timeline. This enables you to use natural language descriptions to find a specific person, object, or vehicle in your footage. #### **License Plate Recognition** ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/So-much-more-than-camreas_blog_3.jpg)Tracking vehicles by license plate gives you a unique identifier for each vehicle that enters your premises. But tracking license plates through in-person visual inspection is impractical for most organizations. An AI solution lets you reliably and efficiently identify vehicles to spark alerts (“Unknown vehicle has entered the lot”), keep track of deliveries, trigger actions such as raising an entry gate, and more. #### **Keeping people safer by connecting with 911** Another dramatic way that today’s surveillance is about more than cameras: If your cameras are configured with [Eagle Eye 911 Camera Sharing](https://www.een.com/911-camera-sharing/), an emergency call placed from nearby will trigger an automatic connection to the nearest Emergency Communications Center, delivering instant visual awareness to emergency telecommunicators who can pass on concrete information to first responders.

It’s strange to think we started out in quite a different place, with the creation of the first motion picture video camera in 1879. This blog takes a look at the fascinating journey of cameras through the ages right up until today and beyond. #### **The first commercial CCTV** It wasn’t until 1949 that the first rudimentary commercial CCTV (aka closed-circuit television) security cameras came along – and they couldn’t record, so they required constant monitoring by a human being. Not the stealthiest addition to the lineup, but a solid start, which led to the videotape recorder just two years later. And before you think this product could fly under the radar, you should know it was roughly the size of a desk. (And cost a whopping $50,000 – which would be more like $650,000 in today’s dollars.) #### **The spread of CCTV, from Westminster Abbey to Times Square** CCTV was used for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, but as you can imagine, given the size and cost, they took a little time to catch on and become more common outside of the Royal Family. CCTV continued to spread in the United States, popping up in new areas over time. A few cameras were placed in Times Square in New York City. But the first main street to install security cameras was Olean, New York, in 1968. These cameras broadcast to the local police station, where they had to be continuously monitored. #### **Game changer: video cassettes** So what was the first real game changer? Video cassette tapes. Sony was the first to sell commercially available video cassette recorders (VCRs) in 1971. When put together with CCTVs, customers could record video footage for later viewing. This was enticing to banks and retailers, who realized this was a genius security solution. Given time, cameras got smaller and less obtrusive, and video quality got better. #### **Enter: the digital revolution.** For years, consumers’ camera choice was: analog or analog. That all changed in the mid-1990s, when the first Internet protocol (IP) cameras were released. IP cameras worked amazingly well with another new technology, digital video recorders (DVRs), which contained hard disc drives that captured recorded video. Almost instantly, these digital options became all the rage. DVRs stored large amounts of digital video and could capture and retain video from more than one camera. #### **The Cloud changes everything.** The cloud entered the picture as IP cameras improved in price and quality. Now there was a way to connect these cameras to the internet as a way to get rid of on-site maintenance and extra equipment like servers. Starting in the 2010s, customers could access their surveillance video anywhere at any time. In addition, the scalability and reliability offered by the cloud for video surveillance has provided unparalleled value and growth for all companies of all sizes. ![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/evolution-of-video-surveillance-inline.jpg)With the advent of the video security cloud, cutting edge technologies are available at a moment’s notice. Previously unimaginable AI features like smart video search, which allows users to search for people, vehicles, and objects using natural language, is now available. Regular downloads from the cloud also future-proof security systems by providing continual cybersecurity updates. Another cloud-enabled advance ise license plate recognition technology, allowing users to monitor what vehicles enter and exit from their parking operations, which can help keep unwanted visitors in check. Thanks to cloud tech, video surveillance now can even be placed in open fields and areas without power or wifi access. And one of the very latest advances is the ability of designated cameras to share live video directly with 911 Emergency Call Centers (ECCs) in an emergency. Not to brag, but Eagle Eye Networks is the leader in cloud surveillance, offering AI-enabled video and multiple camera viewing through our true cloud VMS. Eagle Eye Networks remains at the forefront of these advances, seeking to deliver peace of mind and ease of use to customers while also investigating and implementing cutting-edge technologies.

It's evolved into the foundation of a modern, high-tech facility—integrating mobile access, facial authentication, and a seamless experience… **Content:** Keeping a facility safe and secure is no longer about individual parts but integrating these parts together and creating a seamless experience. Creating this experience starts with access control. Many people think access control is still in the dark ages of readers, panels, and key cards. But access control has advanced into the foundation of having a modern, high tech facility experience. **Why ‘Experience’ Matters** As younger generations get older and enter the workforce, they expect the world around them to be as easy and convenient as their phones. The traditional approach of previous generations, that acts as control and security, is not going to work anymore. According to the Brivo 2023 Security Trends report, 84% of access control users value experience as significantly important. So how do we enhance the access control experience? With access control, physical keycards and readers are the first thing that comes to mind. Mobile devices are everywhere today. Access control credentials can now be enabled on mobile where you can walk up to a door and press a button within the app to open it. Mobile apps, like the [Brivo Mobile Pass](/products/mobile-management/), can provide that seamless experience expected by everyone today. You can take it a step further in mobile and use NFC (Near Field Communication), where you are able to add credentials to your [Apple](/applewallet/) or [Google](/googlewallet/) Wallet. With **Brivo Wallet**, you no longer need to access an app, just tap using your phone or smartwatch to gain access. Taking this a step further, facial authentication is truly game-changing. The next generation of access control solutions unlocks doors using your face as a credential. For example, the new Brivo Door Station verifies your facial biometrics from a badge photo while capturing video of every access event. **Access Control Data Helps Make Better Decisions** Creating a modern, high tech facility experience benefits not only anyone walking through the door but the administrators and facility managers trying to make proactive decisions about their facilities. Access control can be a central point of data to make these decisions. Brivo’s open API platform allows you to integrate with top providers across every area of business with a large selection of access control API integration partners. By connecting with a variety of apps, you can collect data, leverage it and then use access control to drive a lot of decisions. Within [Brivo Access](/products/access-control/), you can use Data Explorer, to quickly and easily get to the insights to improve business efficiencies. ​​With access control data, you can identify potential security vulnerabilities as well as areas of your physical space being used, by whom, and for how long. By using real-time access control data combined with other applications, you can make better decisions on how to better manage and utilize your facility, such as when to cut off lights and lower air conditioning.

The report finds that despite an increased commitment to “security-by-design” principles, the industry is still spending significant time and money post-build to fix security issues, risking dire retroactive effects. The report, [*The State of ‘Security-by-Design’: Is Security an Afterthought in Building Design?*](https://content.cdntwrk.com/pdf_viewer/web/viewer.html?file=https://content.cdntwrk.com/files/aT0xNTE1ODMxJnY9MiZpc3N1ZU5hbWU9dGhlLXN0YXRlLW9mLXNlY3VyZS1ieS1kZXNpZ24tYWVjLXJlcG9ydC0yMDI0JmNtZD1kJnNpZz1hNGM5NzVjYjYzOWY2N2QwNzFkYjhhODBmNGFlYzJkMQ%25253D%25253D)*,* surveyed 800 decision-makers in building design across the US, UK, and the DACH regions. The results show that physical security is, today, more important in building design than ever. A decade ago, security was not considered a top priority, but it is now a top three concern—only safety and sustainability were seen as more important. The good news is that AEC practitioners have responded to this demand, and 56% now have a process for integrating security into building design, and 41% are currently implementing such a process. There is also a good understanding of the need for physical security to be an integral part of design, rather than “patched-in” later, with 94% of AEC practitioners agreeing. However, reality is falling short of ambition. When responsible for security post-build, many report that fixing physical security problems adds additional costs as high as 20%. “Time and money spent fixing security issues post-build are a problem, but it’s the retroactive effects that can create real issues,” said Paula Balmori, Director of Global Security Design & System Integrations, Brivo. “Failing to reach milestones can trigger contractual clauses that lead to damages, and clients can even end up taking legal action if delays are excessive and lead to a break of contract.” When asked about the greatest barriers to implementing security by design, respondents cited regulations, budget constraints and design and aesthetic conflicts as the main problems they encountered, reflecting a change in priority that the industry has yet to fully grapple with. But demands for integrated physical security in design are here to stay: 89% of respondents reported that security was a part of the design briefs they received, and 88% have seen a rise in customer demand for security integration. “It would be madness today to design a building and leave plumbing, heating and lighting as an afterthought to be figured out later—similarly, we would not expect construction to be postponed because of issues with the planning of these key utilities,” said Balmori. “Physical security needs to be seen the same way. Too often we see sub-par solutions put in place because not enough thought was given to security at the design stage. The good news is that the industry understands this issue—now, they just need to make sure that the results match this understanding.” *The State of ‘Security-by-Design’: Is Security an Afterthought in Building Design?* is available for download here: [Download Report](https://content.cdntwrk.com/pdf_viewer/web/viewer.html?file=https://content.cdntwrk.com/files/aT0xNTE1ODMxJnY9MiZpc3N1ZU5hbWU9dGhlLXN0YXRlLW9mLXNlY3VyZS1ieS1kZXNpZ24tYWVjLXJlcG9ydC0yMDI0JmNtZD1kJnNpZz1hNGM5NzVjYjYzOWY2N2QwNzFkYjhhODBmNGFlYzJkMQ%25253D%25253D) **About Brivo** Brivo, Inc., created the cloud-based access control and smart spaces technology category over 20 years ago and remains the global leader serving commercial real estate, multifamily residential, and large distributed enterprises.

Why security-by-design—baking protection into architectural plans from the start—is the blueprint for a resilient building… **Content:** Organizations need to protect their employees, the public, and themselves in the event of security threats or unplanned threats such as natural disasters. When a security team’s focus shifts from proactive defense to reactive response, this depletes budget and resources. A strong architectural approach must include security-by-design, which acts as the overarching blueprint for creating a flexible and resilient security backbone. Incorporating the critical function that security planning plays at the outset of an architecture design project is just good business. ## Proactive Nature Involving a security expert in the design phase utilizes their in-depth knowledge to foresee potential weaknesses rather than only responding to problems. Incorporating security planning early in the design process enables firms to proactively develop and execute physical security systems that assist in preventing incidents by utilizing threat intelligence, security data, and the latest in access control technology. A well-planned design guarantees that construction workers are aware of what has to be built, how much it will cost, and what obstacles they might face. This promotes a safe and effective building process. *“Security means a number of different things—it can mean heavy doors, cameras, guards, many of the things people think of as ‘security’. But it also means building things to discourage threats and encourage secure behavior. Integrating this from the start is the only way to do this right.”* ## Security Team Empowerment Early security planning provides security personnel with a methodical and planned system. This strategy has a significant benefit in simplicity and cost-effectiveness. By facilitating the design of secure systems, optimizing workflows, and seamlessly integrating security solutions, security-by-design reduces complexity and operational overhead. This lets building security teams focus on high-value tasks like security strategy development, threat hunting, and incident response. ## Project Optimization Thorough information collection at the outset of a project makes it easier to design a dazzling structure that satisfies physical security criteria and passes inspections with ease. AEC professionals can avoid the difficulties of retrofitting that may compromise security by adopting a security-by-design strategy that satisfies these requirements from the outset. According to the Structure and Infrastructure Engineering Journal, design changes and errors that occur during the construction phase of a building drive 52% of project overruns. *“Perhaps the biggest problem is that post-build fixes will be sub-optimal when compared to solving problems in the design stage…”* When building designs don’t need to be adjusted, construction workers accomplish excellent work in a timely manner. It also helps interior designers and craftsmen deliver a building that is visually stunning AND secure. ## Your Design Partner Brivo’s recent research confirms that security is a top priority in building design and reveals critical process improvements that deliver cost savings together with delightful aesthetic experiences for residents and owners.

Around the world, it's becoming a foundation of architectural design—built into the blueprint for safety, future-proofing, and smart-technology integration… **Content:** On a global scale, security is becoming a principal foundation of architectural design. Whether it is a commercial building, residential complex, or even a public space, incorporating secure access systems and technology is a vital component of any initial blueprint. Secure access as a consideration in design is no longer limited to government buildings or offices. However, secure access also does not need to comprise a design aesthetic. Indeed, a proactive approach at the drafting table for any design can ensure that the architect’s vision is never compromised. As professionals in the building industry strive to build new complex designs and creative LEED buildings, so too can they envision the safety and security for the occupants, tenants and visitors of those structures. From the beginning, architects, engineers and construction professionals can reap the benefits of integrating secure access and avoid future cost pitfalls and aesthetic compromises to their designs. This article will highlight the benefits of integrating secure access solutions to all building projects by leveraging the AEC professionals at Brivo and their innovative solutions. [![](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Architects-Embrace-Global-Shift.svg)](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Architects-Embrace-Global-Shift.svg) **Visionary Safety and Protection** – One of the primary benefits of including secure access in architectural design is the safety and protection offered. Access control systems as an integral component of blueprints help prevent unauthorized entry, monitor building activities, detect suspicious activity and allow for rapid response, both on-site and from a remote location. Secure access as part of the initial design not only provides safeguarding of occupants and visitors, but also proactively helps to deter potential or planned threats to the structure. **Future-Proofing Building Designs** – Incorporating secure access solutions into architectural designs ensures that the building is prepared for and adaptable to future technologies. As secure access technology continues to advance and meet future threats, access control systems can be updated and expanded to thwart those threats. Often this only requires a simple software upgrade, but even if a product upgrade is considered, the existing secure access technology infrastructure significantly mitigates the cost. **Integrated Smart Building Technology** – Secure access solutions can seamlessly integrate with other smart building technologies enhancing the existing and evolving ecosystem of the building environment. This advanced technology integration allows architects to design structures and spaces that are secure, intuitive and highly functional. Access control systems can be linked to lighting, elevator operations, HVAC, and even visitor notification systems to optimize building performance and the tenant or visitor experience. **Streamlined Building Operations** – Access control systems simplify and control costs associated with building operations. Simply put, traditional lock and key systems are expensive both in the short term and the long term. Having a locksmith in-house or on-call does little to change that cost. Secure access solutions allow architects to design cost-saving spaces that are easier to manage and operate. For example, in the event of a lost or stolen access card, deactivation, and replacement is far more efficient than changing out a lock and cutting new keys for all occupants. Likewise, an occupant or employee who forgets their card can be granted access from a central office, that may be offsite, reducing stress and manual access from building staff. **Building Optimization with Data** – State-of-the-art access control solutions can provide valuable data insights for architects, engineers, and construction professionals. Both comparative and historical data can be studied to optimize the utilization of planned or existing space, review security protocols and promote operational efficiency. It can also help track the user experience from the traffic flow perspective at the building entrance and within the building. This allows for more informed decisions about layout and resource allocation to promote a smoother, more user-friendly experience. **Cost efficiency** – A well-planned secure access system saves money. Often, the creative vision of architectural designs is negatively impacted by building codes, fire codes and even the challenges of retrofitting a structure to incorporate secure access post-construction. Considering a secure access solution as part of an initial building design should be no different than any other foundational element such as construction materials, plumbing, lighting or sustainability. Incorporating secure access early in the process allows you to proactively map the technology throughout the structure avoiding costs associated with retrofitting, blueprint redrafting, or other more costly post-building adaptations to comply with various code enforcement requirements.

Brivo's Tim Norris explains why insecure, non-encrypted credentials are the number-one threat, and how to close the gap… **Content:** *Originally published on cybernews.com* **Cloud-based access control solutions have transformed security processes by centralizing data, utilizing advanced technologies, and providing convenient access management.** Cloud-based access control solutions leverage the power of the cloud to provide secure and convenient access management for various facilities. Combine it with a [high-level VPN](https://cybernews.com/best-vpn/) system, and you have a comprehensive security solution that can be managed remotely and monitored in real-time. To learn more about the benefits of cloud-based access control and how it can help businesses protect their premises we spoke with Tim Norris, Senior Director of Product Marketing at [Brivo](https://brivo.com/), a company that provides cloud-based access control solutions to secure lives, assets, and facilities. **How did the idea of Brivo originate? What has the journey been like since your launch in 2002?** Brivo was the first cloud company to enter the property technology space when we launched our cloud-based platform in 2002, intending to protect lives, assets, and facilities. Since the beginning, Brivo has been committed to delivering better security and service to the spaces we protect and developing new technologies to help solve the challenges of the times. At the time, the Cloud-as-a-Business platform was virtually unknown. In the early days, a major part of the task was simply promoting the benefits of the cloud. People didn’t know enough about it. Brivo started from outside the security industry, which is largely why we brought different ideas to the table than what others had in both the security and the fledgling smart building industry. And so, many of the ideas we started then came from outside the industry – more informed by other tech industries such as satellite communications, telephony, healthcare, etc. Today, Brivo as a company and the industry as a whole has matured, and there’s much more depth in terms of product sets and customer understanding of what those product sets mean. That’s been a welcome change. To focus on the last three-to-four years, new investment has come into Proptech and made it clear that there’s huge value in connecting both individual buildings and entire portfolios to cloud services, mobile services, and data services. That’s been a real change in terms of how people think about what we’re doing. **Can you introduce us to your access control solutions? What are their key features?** On-premise access control solutions and the local servers they depend on have served security professionals well for many years. Demands and requirements, however, have changed over time. Data fragmentation, for example, which prevented businesses from using building security data to make better decisions in the past, is no longer an issue thanks to our access control platform, Brivo Access. Our platform centralizes building security data and makes it useful by utilizing embedded business intelligence and machine learning functionalities. Our users are empowered to understand the usage and applications of their physical spaces – increasingly critical in today’s hybrid world of work – and improve security processes. Our cloud-based platform also allows security professionals to manage access to and from any location, at any time, and on any device, including computers and smartphones – eliminating the need for local servers and physical on-site visits. This isn’t just a case of time savings. Cloud-based access control solutions reduce the workloads of physical and IT security teams who are already stretched. Multi-site software upgrades can be pushed out, for example, removing the cost and time associated with delivering manual updates to hardware. **What are some of the most popular ways threat actors use to bypass various access control measures?** The number one threat to access control is the use of insecure, non-encrypted credentials. 125 KH low-frequency card readers, for example, are especially vulnerable to infiltration via unauthorized fobs and cards. Poor lock installation practices and infrequent maintenance also pose risks. They can result in common or new vulnerabilities going unfixed that a bad actor can exploit to bypass access control measures and enter premises. Finally, there is always a human element that is unpredictable and can only be addressed with policies and training. It’s similar to other types of security – you can have the most impenetrable system in place to defeat hackers, but it doesn’t matter if people put their password on a sticky note and attach it to their monitor. If people share credentials or hold open doors, or even wedge a door open for convenience, that’s going to limit the effectiveness of any security system. A certain amount of training and adherence to policy is always going to be necessary, no matter how advanced the access control system is. **How did the recent global events affect your field of work? Were there any new challenges you had to adapt to?** For security and facility managers, COVID presented new and unique challenges that put them on the front line of protecting people, property, and assets and upholding health safety. Organizations that had workers on-site to perform essential services had to enforce new health-safety protocols. Businesses with a primarily remote workforce had to monitor and manage access to an empty, and therefore vulnerable, building. For many, this meant putting greater focus on physical security, including health-safety features, to adapt to the COVID era. The upshot of these pandemic-related challenges was that digital transformation trends were accelerated. More security and facility managers saw the value of cloud-based access control platforms. This trend has continued after the pandemic, with upticks in security professionals using these platforms to harness data to utilize building usage and deliver integrations with other security systems – particularly Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems. **What myths and misconceptions surrounding smart spaces do you notice most often? What do you think they are based on?** In a smart space, there is the age-old perception that a security solution is less reliable if it’s hosted and delivered via the cloud. This might’ve rung true in the past, but cloud systems have made progress by leaps and bounds up to today to increase uptime and reliability. Even in the face of disruptions with cloud networks, redundancies, or the duplication of critical components, access control systems’ functions are built into the access control software. This allows the system to operate even while offline, allowing people to access or leave a facility as they need. In the event of a power failure, there are also assurances in battery backup to ensure no downtime, regardless of whether the system is distributed. Another myth lies in the supposed complexity of cloud access control applications. These applications can seem complex as the amount of data has increased exponentially within robust access controls today. Moving to the cloud often also involves new approaches, new ways of working, and technology solutions, adding to the so-called complexities. But cloud-based access controls are meant to simplify access control and to remove the on-prem logistical complexities from storage to maintenance. While there will be shifts in working, these should be viewed as a welcome change rather than one to avoid. **What predictions do you have for the future of technology in the public safety field?** [We recently surveyed 677 security professionals](https://www.brivo.com/brivo-reveals-top-security-trends-for-2023/) worldwide to identify the trends that will shape physical security in the future. We found that user experience and convenience are rapidly emerging drivers behind the adoption of new physical security solutions. This is a reflection of the ways in which the dynamics of office work have changed since the pandemic. Today’s employees expect flexible hours, hybrid environments, multiple accommodations, and more convenience. Delivering this falls to security professionals who are able to add convenience and ensure frictionless access with modern, cloud-based solutions. We fully expect this trend to grow in the coming months and years as changing workforce demographics bring more Millennial and Gen Z cohorts into the workplace. These workers expect frictionless access to their place of work, but they’re also mobile natives. Workplace-experience apps will only grow in popularity as businesses look to make their workplaces better reflect the wider societal popularity of mobile-derived services. **What tips would you give those looking to secure their homes or offices and their networks?** Some of the most important pieces of security advice apply to the physical and cyber realm. For example, ensuring that all hardware and software is patched is vital to protecting IT systems or physical security apparatus from bad actors looking to break in by exploiting known vulnerabilities. Working with reputable partners who can prove their security credentials is also key. Hardware or software that’s either inherently insecure or misconfigured poses a risk. To evaluate the cyber security of a particular access management vendor, installers or procurers can seek out audit statements to check that the vendor is making appropriate levels of investment into its cyber security. Cybersecurity should be a critical consideration in the process of purchasing access management technology. Unsecure access management hardware or systems can be compromised and used as a foothold to hack into wider corporate networks with potentially catastrophic results. **What other aspects of our lives do you hope to see enhanced by technology in the near future?** As mentioned, with cloud-based access control solutions, there’s a fantastic opportunity to improve how we access and interact with our physical workplaces. Centralization of identity data in the cloud, for example, can massively simplify the management of access between a business’ multiple premises – which is becoming increasingly important in the world of hybrid working. In the future, there’s no reason why the business access experience can’t mirror the concierge experience associated with luxury hotels! **Tell us, what’s next for Brivo?** Brivo’s international expansion will continue to scale In the coming months and years. As of today, we serve over 450 customers in Europe. This number is only growing as more businesses in the region move from on-premise software to cloud-based access control systems.

Break down the key differences between the two storage systems and which CCTV setup makes sense for your business… **Content:** As new technologies in the security industry become more affordable and more widely available there are new options for commercial surveillance systems. There are more ways than ever to store surveillance video including different on-premises devices and modern cloud-based technologies. When choosing a surveillance system for a business, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of where the video surveillance is stored and the functions and cost of a new surveillance system. This article will look at on-premises recording devices and briefly explain the differences between digital video recorder (DVR) and network video recorder (NVR) systems and what surveillance systems are best for businesses. [Part Two](https://www.een.com/blog/nvr-vs-cloud-video-storage/) of this series covers the differences between on-premises and cloud video management systems (VMS), and [Part Three](https://www.een.com/blog/true-cloud-cctv-system-vs-hybrid-surveillance-systems/) compares the variations in cloud-based surveillance systems. NVR and DVR systems are both used for on-premises storage of business security video, but there are some key differences between the two. NVR systems encode and process video data at the camera, then stream it to the NVR recorder for storage and remote viewing. The “N” in NVR stands for network and these systems can be connected to an outside network for remote viewing and archival data storage. NVRs require IP, or internet protocol, cameras, while DVRs are used with analog or digital cameras. DVR systems process video data at the recorder and all functions of the security system, including viewing video clips, happen on the device. ![DVR vs NVR](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Surveillance-video-terms-1.jpg "DVR vs NVR CCTV surveillance terminology")Common terms in video surveillance ## What is a DVR Surveillance System? DVR recorders for CCTV video surveillance gained popularity in the 2000s when the technology to record video on hard discs surpassed tape-based recordings. As technologies, particularly for digital IP cameras, have evolved, DVR systems are now mostly considered simple, low cost surveillance solutions — a device in a building where everything is managed and viewed at that device. DVR systems are compatible with analog cameras as well as digital cameras and the recorders are typically hard-wired to these cameras. Because of the wired connections, installation is labor intensive and expensive, but these systems are reliable as there are no routers or wireless connections that can be impacted by internet network service outages. As newer recording technologies have become standard, replacing DVR recorders has dropped in cost as long as existing infrastructure does not also need replacing. DVR systems do not offer a lot of features compared to newer NVR and cloud-based technologies. These basic DVR systems are also limited by the bandwidth of the wires connecting the cameras as far as video quality. Additionally adding new cameras to the system also can be a time consuming process. DVR systems do not usually allow for remote access-meaning that the user will need to view surveillance footage directly on the physical DVR device. It is up to business IT personnel to make sure that software and security patches are up to date for the system. There are solutions to [upgrade existing analog camera systems to cloud-based video surveillance](https://www.een.com/analog-video-to-cloud/). [Eagle Eye Networks Cloud Video Management System (VMS)](https://www.een.com/product/cloud-vms-system-overview/) can connect any camera, including analog cameras, to their cloud system. ## DVR vs NVR: Benefits of an NVR Surveillance System NVR systems offer a number of advantages over DVR systems, including better scalability, easier setup, and better image quality. NVR systems offer remote access for viewing and archiving data, usually through a network VPN (virtual private network). NVR systems have become the preferred choice over DVRs for businesses on-premises storage systems. High quality digital IP cameras have dropped in cost in the last several years, only improving the resolution quality that these systems can transmit. With the benefits of NVR systems also comes a greater cost. NVR systems are typically more expensive than DVR systems. But if upgrading a system is under consideration, an NVR or cloud system can be less expensive than a DVR system in the long run. Since cameras configure and connect wirelessly to the NVR system, there can be some compatibility issues that should be investigated before choosing an NVR. Both NVR and DVR systems are limited on storage capacity based on the data space on the hardware, and customers need to plan for this prior to purchasing the device. An open port required for network access can create a security vulnerability for a networked system. Some of the drawbacks of on-premises systems have been solved by cloud-based commercial surveillance systems like the [Eagle Eye VMS](https://www.een.com/product/cloud-vms-system-overview/). Other hybrid systems combine functions of both on-premises storage and cloud connected features. [Part Two](https://www.een.com/blog/nvr-vs-cloud-video-storage/) of this series compares on-premises systems to cloud-based surveillance systems and [Part Three](https://www.een.com/blog/true-cloud-cctv-system-vs-hybrid-surveillance-systems/) looks at these hybrid cloud-managed systems. **Categories:** Technology --- ### [No More “Channel Hopping”: All-in-one Building Management Through Integration](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/no-more-channel-hopping-all-in-one-building-management-through-integration/) **Published:** May 6, 2022 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Remember when TV meant three channels and one antenna? Building management has gotten just as fragmented. Why integrating your systems into one platform beats endlessly 'channel hopping' between disconnected tools… **Content:** Life was simpler when we had a choice of only 3 TV channels, all accessed via antenna. Then new on-air networks, cable, and satellite opened the floodgates. Streaming services enriched and complicated the landscape even more. Today, finding your favorite TV shows might mean hopping between multiple services, TV inputs, and remote controls. Some services lack local channels or staples like ESPN. *Squid* *Game* and *Bridgerton* only come on Netflix. *Mr Robot* fan? That’s Amazon Prime, but you can probably get all those on Apple TV, and maybe see the shows on YouTube. Still, aggregators like Apple TV probably don’t have all 200-plus streaming services. If that weren’t enough, add to the confusion stream-to-your-device services such as TiVo Edge and Roku Ultra. Getting all your favorites on one screen practically requires advanced degrees in organization, research, and technology. Why does it have to be so hard to watch the show you want? Smart buildings risk going the same route. Legacy buildings developed systems in isolation. No system talked to another. The security department installed video surveillance, access control, and alarms. Facilities took responsibility for lighting, HVAC, and power. IT oversaw network identification and access management. Other groups might be tasked with fire detection and suppression, water and plumbing, and elevators. Not only would maintenance teams come from different departments, but each individual system within a department itself might operate using proprietary software, hardware, and communication protocols, and likely process data in a unique way. Some systems, such as security, might even run on separate networks. Why does it have to be so hard to operate a building the way you want? It doesn’t have to be. We have entered an age of a connected built world, made possible by open platforms that can accommodate legacy protocols as well as future interfaces. The benefits go way beyond the convenience of automated centralized controls and the efficiency yielded by systems working in tandem instead of at cross-purposes. Actionable data shared across systems yield cost savings as well as revenue opportunities. Integrated systems minimize downtime resulting from technical snafus such as spotty wifi and from imminent equipment failures such as overheated servers. Data generated from these systems can identify behaviors of specific customers, guests, and tenants, either individually, collectively, or in any combination. That data can then be used to achieve compliance goals, tailor space and service, better deploy resources, and enhance the tenant experience, leading to increased retention and heightened demand that can command higher rents. Many companies are doing their part to make integration seamless in both commercial and residential facilities. Brivo’s suite of[ access control solutions](https://www.brivo.com/products/access-control/), for example, connect to dozens of partner applications via[ Brivo’s open API](https://www.brivo.com/products/open-api-platform/). They include elevator controls,[ visitor management](https://www.brivo.com/products/visitor-management/),[ identity and access management](https://www.brivo.com/identity-federation/), coworking arrangements, smart lights and thermostats, water control valves, and HR management, among others. The importance of integration is best exemplified by an example. Say an employee is hosting colleagues from other corporate offices and from other companies for an industry roundtable lunch. They will have to adjust building access for the staff members and visitor management for the guests, possibly to include intercoms and elevators. Scheduling the room, setting the temperature, regulating the lighting level, and operating the AV system might require four more separate systems. Ordering a food delivery adds yet another. That’s nine different systems that can be efficiently integrated into one seamless experience. The technology is here. Now is the time to execute it. On the other hand, finding which of 700 different channels, networks, and services where I can watch the third season of *Better Call Saul* is the real stumper.

A plain-English explainer on mobile credentials: what they are, how Bluetooth-enabled access works, and why it matters… **Content:** In this day and age, we rely on smartphones for absolutely everything. According to a Brivo study, [81% of business leaders rely on mobile applications to manage their organizations](https://resources.brivo.com/reports-ebriefs/digital-transformation-physical-security). Multiple studies have shown that a properly executed mobility strategy improves workforce productivity and leads to business growth through always-on connectivity. For many of us, our mobile devices are our lifelines. They allow us to browse the web, conduct meetings, schedule calls, watch videos, remote start our cars, view package deliveries (and package pirates), board a plane and so much more. So in the physical access world, it only makes sense to incorporate mobile phones as a way to gain access and open a door. ## What are Mobile Credentials? Remember that badge you carried around that you held up to a door reader when you wanted to get into the office lobby or other door? A mobile credential does the same thing, except through wireless communications, such as Bluetooth from your smartphone, via a mobile app to the door reader that allows you to access a physical space. Mobile credentials allow users to unlock doors for the office, apartment common amenities, employee restricted areas, and more with their phones and without having to carry around traditional plastic cards and key fobs. Mobile credentials are also highly secure with the use of multi-factor authentication with device biometrics such as FaceID or TouchID, which requires users to provide additional verification factors. ## The Benefits of Mobile Credentials **More Secure Credentials and Better Protection** Mobile credentials are more secure than traditional access cards. With multi-factor authentication, fingerprint and FaceID device biometrics verify true identity, and provide the ability for property managers to revoke access anytime, anywhere. The switch to mobile credentials ultimately reduces security breaches with secure, encrypted credentials that can’t be cloned. Whatsmore, people are not as likely to give a friend, colleague or other person their phone to be able to access a space as they would lend a badge to someone. This increases overall security in ensuring you know who is actually entering a space. **Instant and Easy to Install** Mobile credentials are very easy to use for users, simple for property managers to authorize and install for security integrators. **Convenience for Tenants, Employees and Residents** Mobile credentials provide a truly mobile-first experience for tenants, employees and residents. Making it easier for them to move about a facility or apartment, and allowing them to open doors and use keyless entry across multiple locations with their smartphone. **Cost-effective** Save on costs and reduce the chance of losing key cards and key fobs with mobile credentials and digital badges that are kept in the cloud, eliminating the need for rekeying. **Remove Hassle for Property Managers** Remotely assign and revoke credentials sent directly to authorized employees, contractors or visitors’ smartphones. Property managers save time by not having to replace lost or forgotten access cards. **Improve Health-safety** Users can use [mobile self-screening](/mobile-self-screening-a-critical-tool-for-a-more-hygienic-building/) for COVID-19 symptoms before entering a facility directly from their phone. This helps facilities ensure users acknowledge current policies related to COVID-based restrictions. **Increase Property Value** Create modern smart buildings that will add value to your property while increasing occupant satisfaction and loyalty. ## Frictionless Mobile Management, Brivo Mobile Pass is a Smarter Way to Open Doors With Brivo Mobile pass you get the added security and increased convenience for your tenants, residents, employees and guests while simplifying how you manage access to your property.

Access control has evolved well past keeping bad actors out—here are five ways to upgrade yours… **Content:** ## **Five Ways to Upgrade your Access Control System** It’s 2021 – not only a new century but two solid decades into the new millennium. Most likely your access control system is from the 20th century. Now’s the time to rethink how you manage your physical spaces. Access control has evolved. It’s no longer about keeping the bad people out, it’s about creating frictionless facilities and allowing people into and through the space because they are supposed to be there. As an example, who stops to pay a toll with cash? With digital toll transponders and easy pass access, many commuters are allowed to breeze through a toll booth, reducing traffic, easing the misery of congestion from stopped traffic and making the collection of toll dollars easier. The new access control is similar in that it’s using massively updated cloud technology to create frictionless space. Updated access control providers are making the management of buildings easier for facility owners and managers and creating a more agreeable tenant or resident experience. ##### **Here are five ways to upgrade your access control technology.** ###### **Move to the Cloud** The joke’s over. Those who thought cloud computing was a fad are gone. Cloud-based access control is here to stay. As enterprise businesses are bringing physical security up to date with their cybersecurity practices, cloud-based access control is the top solution to allow for improved security and flexibility. Several benefits include remote management, integration with other security systems and better data collection and storage. ###### **Integrate for Future Flexibility** Within any industry that has been touched by digital transformation, the opportunity to integrate technologies together grows. A great example of this is in the finance industry where payment capabilities are integrated into websites to allow for a frictionless shopping experience. Imagine trying to buy something on Amazon but not having an integrated shopping cart capability. The same is true with access control. As more property technology is brought online, the greater the value in bringing integrations together. Door access, video surveillance, video intercoms, mobile credentials and wireless locks are just a few of the solutions that can be integrated with access control. ###### **Integrated video management and access control** One of the most beneficial integrations in updated access control is the integration of video and access events. When you combine video and access you can get a clearer picture of who has access to your building (pun intended). There are more advanced capabilities being introduced to the market that use artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve the fusion of video and access events. Solutions like [Brivo Snapshot](https://www.brivo.com/brivo-snapshot-insights-from-the-fusion-of-video-and-access-event-data/) provides time-saving capabilities that automatically detect faces from a video and displays the image in context to the access event. ###### **More advanced physical security options** As physical security continues to add more value to your full security practice, access control has moved beyond just tracking fobs at the front door. Mobile credentials, visitor management solutions and health-safety features give you more control over your physical space. These higher-end features are the future of building access management and taking advantage of solutions like [Global View](https://resources.brivo.com/brivo-access-navigating-global-view/) and [Data Explorer](https://resources.brivo.com/brivo-access-leveraging-data-explorer/) in [Brivo Access](https://www.brivo.com/products/access-control/) and can help you advance your practices today. ###### **Continuous Updates to Software** Unlike on-prem systems, software as service solutions allow for continuous innovation and updates to the software. For example, when you buy floppy disk software from the store and you load that into your computer, you are stuck with that version. All of the continued innovation and updates that the company puts into developing their software is not accessible from the static version from the disk. Over time, that software is frozen in time. With Saas software that is offered as a service, updates are continuous and new features and fixes are offered on a regular basis. This ensures you have the latest and most powerful version of the software from the publisher. If you don’t currently have a cloud-based access control solution for your facilities, now is the best time to consider including this in your building security plan. With cloud-based access control coming of age, the capabilities are limitless to create a future leading security solution for your property.

Running a facility on access control alone is just as blind. Three easy steps to add video surveillance for complete visibility and control… **Content:** Would you drive a car at night without headlights? Most likely not. Driving in the dark without the lights to see what is in front of you would be a risky proposition. The same is true for organizations that manage their facilities with only access control and cannot see those activities through video. **To help you get started, here are three easy steps for adding video surveillance to your access control solution.** **Step 1:** Determine your video scope. Every organization is different. You may want to have video associated with major entryways, or you may want a complete visibility solution monitoring every inch of a physical location. Maybe you want to start small and implement video in the most critical areas and slowly add-on as needed as the business grows and requirements change. It is essential to consider your overall video strategy at the outset to find a solution that can grow with you, even if you don’t plan to implement video throughout the facility on day one. **Step 2:** Work with legal and compliance teams to identify appropriate video storage requirements. Before you select a video solution, you’ll need to understand your company’s requirements for data retention, as this can impact the overall cost of your video solution. Today with many cloud video solutions, storage costs are much less expensive than traditional on-prem storage solutions and can provide various retention periods and video quality options. Knowing your base requirements upfront will help you compare apples-to-apples when making a purchase decision. **Step 3:** Connect your video surveillance streams to your access control solution. Many times, organizations implement two independent solutions and skip this important step to optimize their security solution. It is essential that when you investigate a video solution that you can connect the video feeds with access control so that you connect the visual of who’s entering your facility with each access event. The combination of video and access control come together to increase your security posture and streamline day-to-day operations exponentially. Brivo Access Cam is a simple, easy solution for organizations that want to add video to their access control solution. Brivo Access Cam provides affordable cameras, cloud-based video storage with various storage options and automatically connects video streams with access events within Brivo Access.

Why a fluid, secure access experience is becoming the key differentiator in commercial real estate… **Content:** ## **Modern, Fluid Access Can Set You Apart** There are plenty of buzz words around access and ‘new’ forms of access control—things like frictionless, touchless, effortless, and more. However, these terms boil down to one thing–creating the most accessible, most fluid tenant experience possible while keeping assets and people secure. Real estate owners, developers, and property managers are all seeking ways to differentiate themselves. Finding ways that create more open, collaborative, and value-driven experiences for the tenants they serve. For example, in a recent collaboration between [RXR Real Estate and McKinsey & Company](https://www.mckinsey.com/about-us/new-at-mckinsey-blog/how-will-real-estate-be-different-in-the-next-normal), RXR CEO said: “Real estate is no longer just about four walls and relying on location for value appreciation. Instead, it’s about creating a unique, personalized customer experience that fosters meaningful interactions, collaboration, \[and\] productivity. Delivering this will require a unique combination of capabilities that seamlessly integrate across the physical and digital realms.” Physical security and how tenants, visitors, and customers access and move throughout the property are vital parts of that overall experience. Creating more open access paths that reduce barriers but still maintain a high degree of security can provide the modern experience. ## **Many Options to Reduce Friction** Let’s face it, keeping track of one, two, or more physical badges to access various parts of a building can be a drag. However, there are a few ways that property managers can reduce this hassle and deliver more convenient ways for tenants to move about the building. ## **Mobile Credentials** Mobile credentials solve several challenges better than traditional physical credentials. First, they live on your phone. The one device that we do not leave our home, car, desk without is our phone. It’s always with us. We’re addicted to them. Using the phone as your credential means that employees don’t have to remember to carry along a second credential–a badge on a lanyard around their neck, hooked to a retractable string on their belt, or other intrusive measures of always having your badge with you. Your mobile device is always with you, so you’ve always got it. The second area where mobile credentials provide convenience is that with Bluetooth, wifi, and cellular technology on the access control devices, aka readers, users can activate within a given proximity. For example, it’s easy and convenient to walk straight from the elevator, tap a button on your phone, and the door unlocks all within stride. Removing the extra steps may not sound like a big deal, but the ultimate goal is to have secure access that doesn’t inhibit the user from focusing on stopping, finding their badge and walking to a reader then opening a door. ## **Brivo Fluid Access** The ultimate realization of user convenience creates that open experience without compromising on security. Imagine this. Tenants enter a building, get on the elevator, enter an office suite lobby door and access their corner office without removing a badge, phone, or any other credential throughout that journey. It sounds like a utopia for the modern office worker, right? No hassles, no credentials to fool with, just able to move about as they need to get their job done. Sounds great, but the security folks reading that last scenario are thinking, ‘whoa, that’s not security.’ It is the vision of security for the future – available today. Brivo Fluid Access combines our industry-leading cloud-based access control solution with modern hardware and software that allow users to move fluidly through the facility while ensuring it is secure. The user can only “move” where they are supposed to be. How? Fluid Access enables users to utilize mobile credentials, mobile technology (widgets and more), modern OSDP readers to communicate and make access decisions without the user needing to pull their phone out of their pocket or bag. The same access controls are in place through this connection as you would expect with traditional physical credentials or a standard mobile credential, but enabled through sophisticated technology that simplifies the tenant experience throughout the building. Brivo’s Fluid Access gives tenants movement without friction and removes barriers that disrupt, or at least are an inconvenience, in their day-to-day work life. For the security team, you maintain control and security for the property with the best cloud-based physical security solution available. And at a deeper level, you get to be the hero for your tenants and colleagues. By moving to Fluid Access, you’ve positively impacted their operations, showcasing your partnership with the business users to make their lives easier. Brivo Fluid Access is one example of how Brivo elevates the tenant experience for the modern built world. --- Brivo Fluid Access & Brivo Smart Readers enable a modern, convenient, fluid tenant experience.

A look at tailgating—the social-engineering attack where one badge swipe lets an unauthorized person stroll right in—and how to stop it… **Content:** In corporate security, the biggest challenge and weakest link has always been the humans. Yes, you and I and our inherently flawed behaviors and mistakes that we make every day–sometimes without even recognizing them as possible attack vectors. We can’t help it; we’re human. For instance, we humans struggle to remember many complex things, so we use the same password over and over across our personal and professional logins because it’s easy for us to remember. That act, however, makes it very easy for an attacker to acquire one credential, then move laterally across our digital footprint, from corporate networks to personal bank accounts. A common approach that nefarious actors take to gain unauthorized access to networks, data, and physical spaces is social engineering. The InfoSec Institute updated its Most Common Social Engineering Attacks 2020 a few months back. As expected, most attacks are focused on the cyber realm. However, tailgating is included as a socially engineered attack in the physical world that represents a high-risk security event that has been a tough nut to crack for many organizations. ## **What is tailgating?** Tailgating, also known as piggybacking, is when an authorized user knowingly or unknowingly allows an unauthorized user to ‘ride-along’ their access into a space. For example, I am an authorized user for a server room. I swipe my badge and hold the door open for you to come in with me to look at something in the room. Or, I tap my access credential and enter a secure space, and someone grabs the door behind me without my knowledge and sneaks in behind me. Many times, tailgating occurs out of politeness and convenience. For example, as a couple of colleagues and I approach the office after lunch, I present my credential and hold the door open as the group enters the space without individually themselves badging in. But, again, it’s just common courtesy and more convenient for those that didn’t badge in appropriately to walk right in rather than follow the correct procedure. ## **What is the potential risk?** Many times, tailgating is with a known group of colleagues entering general or common areas–an office lobby, etc. And while that day-to-day interaction may seem low risk, one should consider that tailgating doesn’t occur just at the front door after a group goes out to lunch. It happens every day among colleagues in high-security areas, which does pose incremental risk to an organization. Also, from a security perspective (both cyber and physical), today’s insider threat risk is a significant area of concern. Insiders may seem like regular colleagues amongst us, but they may have ill intent, so allowing them to piggyback into sensitive areas creates more risk. Likewise, disgruntled ex-employees, corporate sabotage, and even violent attacks can be perpetrated inside a physical space when an unauthorized individual gains access by exploiting the courtesy of an unsuspecting staff member. ## **How does a threat actor use tailgating to infiltrate?** Socially engineered attacks prey on our human nature. With tailgating, this is almost too easy. Simply asking someone to hold the door or making up a story about a badge left at home, on a desk, or in a car, is easy. Other ways that bad actors are using this tactic is posing as delivery drivers–whether packages or food delivery. This approach is increasingly challenging for security leaders as the pandemic has dramatically increased the reliance on delivery for everyday items like food and more, resulting in a wide variety of new individuals entering a space. Whatsmore, this activity is pervasive today and, for the average employee, seems part of the daily routine. ## **What can you do to mitigate tailgating?** The solution isn’t easy. To tackle, you need a multifaceted approach including the human components related to education and culture, as well as the technology element to reduce this overall risk. Education and culture are critical. Technology can help, and we’ll get to that, but evangelizing to your staff the dangers of tailgating and changing the ingrained mindset that it’s not safe–even if you’re just polite. Enforce every individual using their credentials, even if it’s a group of five people walking in simultaneously–everyone has to swipe. Changing behavior isn’t easy, but it is necessary to lessen the threat of tailgating. Technology also has a role to play here too. For example, access control solutions, like Brivo, provide the foundation for ensuring only authorized users have access to the appropriate spaces across the facility, and combined with video surveillance, you have a visual record of offenders and events. But there’s more you can do to proactively address tailgating by integrating access control solutions like Brivo with tailgating detection tools via video AI and real-time video search such as Camio. The Brivo – Camio integration detects tailgating incidents and flags them for security leaders automatically. The integration works by leveraging access event data, including the approved credential holder information and the number of people expected to enter with that credential. Then, using existing video cameras and AI-powered Camio tailgating detection, the number of people who actually enter during that access event is identified. When the number of humans detected is higher than the number expected based on the credential, the solution automatically flags a tailgating event, sends an alert, and provides video evidence for remediation.

Brivo shares the small, everyday changes that add up to a big difference for the planet over time… **Content:** When we think about sustainability, we usually think about reducing carbon footprints and being more energy-efficient to combat global warming. Many wide-reaching global initiatives are at the forefront of the news and stand as a reminder of the importance of keeping a balance between earth’s resources and human consumption. ## **Why is sustainability important?** Sustainability in its simplest form means meeting current needs without compromising future needs – ensuring that you are not making decisions today that endanger future generations. This concept can take many forms, both global and grandiosity as well as local and impactful. ## **Sustainability and Brivo** Brivo is committed to sustainability and protecting the environment. Our suite of products helps companies improve their sustainability goals. For instance, access control data can be integrated into energy management systems to better manage energy consumption. Environmental thermostats and controls in multifamily properties can help save energy by optimizing temperatures at the individual unit level. We create products that help our customers operate their systems more efficiently and reduce power consumption. We’ve been [RoHS ](https://www.rohsguide.com/)compliant for years to help reduce hazardous waste. We use recyclable materials in our packaging as much as possible. We also offer a company environment where we encourage employees to volunteer time by providing time off to help in their community. We believe in corporate responsibility, sustainability, and reducing energy consumption. Our offices are located in urban environments to support walking, biking, or public transit to the office, they are equipped with energy-efficient lighting and automatic controls, and we recycle. ## **But what more can we do?** This Earth Day, we are committing to focus more on sustainability and to continue to find ways to improve and to raise awareness, encourage participation, and train employees. As a small step forward, in honor of Earth Day, we have adopted two 30-inch garden rows at the [Charles Koiner Conservancy for Urban Farming](https://www.ckcfarming.org/), a local land trust close to our headquarters in Maryland. The Koiner Urban Farm supports land stewardship, farm management, and urban farming and the sponsorship help cover the costs associated with planting, caring, and harvesting the crops in these rows. We are also exploring larger commitments to additional earth-friendly causes. We plan to initiate an employee resource group to focus on sustainability and review our current policies to make recommendations on what else we can do to improve. Similar to our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion commitments, we look to foster stewardship within our company to make a difference. Today is perhaps the beginning of our path to change, but the journey of 1000 miles starts with the first steps.

The new Brivo and Camio integration uses real-time video and 3D sensors to detect and prevent unauthorized entry… **Content:** ## **Eliminating the Risks of Polite Door-holding** For the average employee, holding a door open for someone is viewed as a polite gesture. Indeed, no one likes to have a door closed in their face, but tailgating, when someone rides along when another employee uses their badge or mobile credentials to gain access, creates substantial risks for organizations. But tailgating is a complex challenge to solve. It is in our human nature to be polite. So how do we address this issue? For security-focused organizations looking to detect and deter tailgating as part of their access control program, Brivo and Camio have an integrated solution that leverages existing cameras enhanced with AI capabilities to connect access events with tailgating detection. This integration allows security managers to take appropriate action to reduce security risk. ## **Camio and Brivo work together to prevent unauthorized access proactively. How does it work?** Brivo Access ensures that authorized individuals are permitted into the building/space. However, tailgating cannot always be prevented by access control alone. Brivo integrated with Camio real-time video search allows organizations to solve for tailgating security risks by automatically detecting tailgating incidents and flagging them for security leaders. Camio turns standard 2D cameras into 3D sensors. Without the cost and complexity of installing specialized devices for infrared, laser, or stereoscopic vision. With the Camio and Brivo solution, each time the number of people passing through an entrance is greater than the number of people authorized to enter, Camio triggers a tailgating alert. Authorized security personnel receive alerts via any browser and are able to take immediate action. ## **Why choose this integrated solution to detect and deter tailgating?** - Camio works with Brivo Access Cam and other standard cameras - No need to install anything additional on-site - Detect and deter unauthorized access - Create a safer work environment - Simple and cost-effective ## **Additional Use Cases for Brivo and Camio Integration: Ensure health-safety for Return to Work** Using both platforms together can enhance health-safety as organizations start reopening facilities and returning to work. For example, automated mask and social distancing detection through Camio’s mask and social distancing detection and contact tracing solutions are great compliments to Brivo’s Facility Safety Features, including Occupancy Tracking, Exposure Attestation, and mobile access. Brivo Access and Camio help organizations provide a safer workplace for employees to return to work with confidence. It takes only minutes to connect to tailgating detection and other heath-safety solutions.

The key benefits of access control as a subscription—lower costs, remote management, and tighter integration… **Content:** Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, we’ve seen an acceleration in the adoption of cloud-based access control solutions. When lockdowns began and remote work became the norm, many businesses were challenged with their on-site server solution. On-prem systems did not allow them to manage their properties remotely. They could not integrate access control with other critical business systems to ensure the cyber and physical security of the organization. This left security professionals with only one option: to go onsite to reset servers or check on systems. Businesses that already modernized their access control solution from on-premise to cloud immediately saw the benefits of [remote access management](https://www.brivo.com/mobile-access-control/). Security managers were able to secure buildings, monitor employee access, and grant access to credentialled employees as needed without being onsite. This was clearly a situation where migrating to the cloud has been the right business strategy. The cloud benefits more than your security strategy. Adopting access control as a subscription service, commonly known as software as a service or SaaS, has its own set of benefits for the business. A 2019 survey from [LendingTree](https://www.comparecards.com/blog/3-in-4-americans-have-online-subscription-study/) revealed that 76% of consumers have at least one subscription. We use video streaming services, music services, email, cell phones, fitness apps, and many others in our personal lives. If so much of our personal lives depend on subscriptions, shouldn’t businesses take advantage of the benefits of SaaS too? The pandemic has forced many businesses to rethink their current strategy on security. Moving to an access control subscription model is a key business decision that needs to be considered in a post-pandemic world. Access Control as a Subscription (ACaaS) offers remote management, integrated video surveillance and identity management (IAM), and mobile access. One of the most overlooked and important benefits of ACaaS is that you are always on the latest version of the software. This is the real benefit of the software as a service model. As new features are added, like the latest health, safety tools to reopen offices, bug fixes, cybersecurity updates, etc. The software itself is always maintained by the professionals that built it. ## There are many advantages to security as a subscription. Here are the top four: **1-Increased Security** Maintenance responsibilities that traditionally fell on the IT department are off-loaded to the software vendor. That means the security team can now focus on the actual security work. With more sophisticated security tools, you can monitor security events, detect anomalies, and monitor activities with video across the property. Your security team becomes a more valuable resource in keeping physical spaces, employees, and other assets safe. Continuous upgrades from the provider eliminate the need for extra work and downtime that are necessary with conventional software. Good providers are constantly evaluating software development best practices to ensure secure applications. They also update software as vulnerabilities are identified (their own or third party). This practice of continuously building cybersecurity and resilience into their solutions help protect you against evolving cyber threats. **2-Save Money** Buying access control as a subscription has financial benefits. It eliminates the large up-front expenditure related to purchasing and expensive maintenance. Subscription services offer ongoing upgrades and improvements and provide access to robust, enterprise-ready software on a small business budget. SaaS can be a real money-saver over time. **3-Solutions That Grow With You** SaaS platforms have the ability to scale on-demand, whether to add more users or add more sites. Security software as a service allows the business to be more nimble and scale faster to meet the demands for business growth. For enterprise companies, delivering scalable computing capacity and advanced services can give you an edge over the competition as well. **4-Increase Speed and Integration** On-premise software system updates can require enormous amounts of time, money, and staff resources. Enterprise businesses may require large or multisite upgrades. A system upgrade or integration could result in version discrepancies between sites and potential compatibility issues. The potential for problems is a drag on the business and can endanger not only future revenue but turn into more tangible costs in the immediate short-term. SaaS software allows you to integrate once and deploy everywhere. That way you ensure consistency across the enterprise while accelerating your ability to scale and grow without the costly human and physical overhead. Software as a service can save money, time, and human resources across any business discipline. Cloud-based SaaS infrastructure for physical security signals to customers, employees, and investors that you are investing in critical solutions to help the business succeed. By eliminating problems like software maintenance and incompatibility, access control as a service can lead to more integrated security solutions overall. It can also deliver needed remote management, provide better insight for your business, and integrate into the greater cybersecurity and IT infrastructure and greater productivity.

As cloud-based access control captures and stores more of it affordably, there's never been a better time to put that data to work for your business… **Content:** You’ve heard it said, ‘data is the new oil’ meaning that in the age of technology, data is the new commodity that businesses mine, where fortunes are amassed, and entire economies are born. The reference dates to [*The Economist*](https://www.economist.com/leaders/2017/05/06/the-worlds-most-valuable-resource-is-no-longer-oil-but-data) article from 2017, referring to the tech giants like Apple and Amazon that were mining data about their users and how trust laws may be out of date to judge the new current commodity. But the fact is data is the asset that almost all companies are dependent on in today’s economy. What company could not benefit from understanding more about their data – whether it be customer data, operational data, financial data or usage data? All companies can gain insight from the data they’ve been collecting. *Wired* notes that, “\[it’s\] in a digital economy where data is more valuable than ever. It’s the key to the smooth functionality of everything from the government to local companies. Without it, progress would halt.” When it comes to using data to better manage your business strategy and operations, there’s never been a better time to get started. With the growth of cloud-based solutions, which can collect large amounts of data and store in the cloud, the cost of capturing and managing massive amounts of data has never been more affordable for most companies. ## **Cloud-based Access Control Data** As security becomes viewed more as an IT system rather than a stand alone system, the opportunity for all companies to include access control data into the collection presents itself. Cloud-based access control allows you to collect data to understand your security challenges unlike on-prem solutions that are not designed to track and keep data. Traditional security solutions keep data siloed as it cannot be connected with other IT solutions. ## **Challenges Without Access to Data** Data collection is not enough. You need to use data to help you create a better security plan for your business. Many businesses have the same problem: Data is locked in the system. When access control data is locked away it means you can only get a fragmented view of your security effectiveness. If you can’t meet compliance requirements, like regulatory and compliance policies, your data is rendered useless. Without access to data, it’s hard to find anomalies or bring them to the forefront so you can make better data-driven decisions. The lack of access control data leads to inefficient diagnosis of security threats and you can be left blind-sided. Data will allow you to see the big picture and manage who has what access quickly and efficiently. It should also let you dive into details and identify threats more easily. ## **Too Much Data** On the flip side, even if you can trap and collect all the data, how can you turn that into actionable insights? One of the challenges many businesses talk about is that they have so much data that they can’t do anything with it. It’s a travesty of the digital age – we have so much data that there’s no way to render it useful to make actionable decisions or gain insights. How often do we collect point-in-time assessments that require us to manually cobble together disparate data points from separate and non-integrated systems? This leaves us investing hours of valuable time in labor-intensive analysis that is insufficient and hard to scale. In the end, we still have no real picture into the organization’s security posture. ## **What Should the Data Experience Look Like?** What should you expect from a data driven digital security solution? Data should be used to improve visibility into your security solution to understand who has access to what areas of your business and when. It should be easy to surface potential issues quickly and in such a way that makes it possible to act on. Advanced analytics should be built into your access control solution so you can have a comprehensive view of your security program. With today’s machine learning and artificial intelligence, better analytics help you improve incident response and better protect your property, people, and reputation. When you have better insights, you can proactively manage your security posture and help turn actionable insights into better informed, data-driven decisions. It is these data barriers that led us to build Brivo Access with a focus on data. Brivo Access is built on a 4th generation data infrastructure and includes the Data Explorer function. This allows customers to customize and visualize their data and perhaps see things that they never saw before. Providing industry leadership is important to Brivo and with Brivo Access we have ushered in a new era.

JULY 7, 2020 – In a bold move to make access control more affordable, Brivo, the global leader in cloud-based access control and physical security platforms, launches Brivo Complete. The industry’s first subscription-based access control and video system that includes installation, hardware, and software, Brivo Complete enables businesses and multifamily communities to secure facilities without the barrier of high upfront costs so they can quickly and affordably deploy security across their buildings. “In the same way that consumers have become accustomed to monthly subscriptions, companies have increasingly found business services delivered as subscriptions to be convenient, flexible, and cost-effective. We’re proud to be the first to add a full subscription which includes the cost of installation as well as cloud-based access control and security to this list,” says Kelly Bond, VP of dealer development at Brivo. “Our goal is to ensure Brivo’s heightened levels of security and data management are more accessible so companies can protect their business, people, and community. Brivo Complete’s subscription-based model makes this possible.” Brivo Complete offers unique subscription options that combine hardware, installation, and cloud-based software services for a complete solution.

Investing in security might feel out of reach for many. What solutions or advice would you offer?** Security, for many, is more important now than ever before for many businesses. Business owners are making tough decisions regarding how they spend their cash and how any spending impacts their business long-term. Fortunately, more creative ways to purchase security solutions are available. Forward thinking companies, like Brivo, offer purchasing options that allow for a low upfront investment and a consistent monthly payment, or the option to completely finance the project with flexible terms. These solutions provide viable options for any business that needs to add a new security system or upgrade their existing one. 2. **What should companies keep in mind when trying to scale their security solutions to stand against future pandemics and threats?** First, they need to educate themselves on their security options. They should be very aware of what is available and whether or not the solution can be managed remotely (via the cloud). Second, it will be more important than ever to conserve cash, so finding a security provider that offers payment options is extremely important. Selecting a subscription for a complete security solution may make the difference in getting the system they need at an affordable price or not purchasing at all. 3. **Why is Brivo embracing a subscription model for its services? What comes with this subscription that will help companies prepare for the future?** Originally the idea was simply to provide pricing options for customers. However, we know consumers are purchasing subscriptions vs. making a large capital investment more and more. It made sense to offer this in a security solution as well. A manageable monthly payment, along with a lifetime warranty on equipment and a guarantee of always using the latest technology, is a solution that should be important to every business owner. 4. **Besides potential money saved, how will a subscription-based security solution help companies stay ahead?** As a business owner, the need for security looks and feels different than it may have a few months ago. Owners need to know who is accessing their facilities, where they went and how long they were there. They also need to be sure their security solution can grow with them. It needs to be scalable. The way Brivo Complete is structured, businesses can add to their systems when they open a new location or just want to add access control to an additional door. Whatever the need, Brivo can grow with them. 5. **What can companies expect from deploying Brivo Complete that’s different from other services in the market?** Brivo is the only manufacturer offering this complete subscription model. The superior Brivo equipment coupled with the flexible subscription provides a solution that is not only affordable but provides unmatched convenience as well. Brivo Complete comes with a user friendly interface for managing your security from wherever you are and provides a lifetime warranty on the Brivo equipment. Another great example of Simply Better Security. **Categories:** Product --- ### [Identify Exposure to a COVID-positive Individual with Brivo Contact Reporting](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/identify-exposure-to-a-covid-positive-individual-with-brivo-contact-reporting/) **Published:** June 9, 2020 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Contact tracing sounds daunting, but your access control data can help. Brivo Contact Reporting flags users who shared a space with a COVID-positive individual—turning entry events into exposure insights… **Content:** While many companies race to create a contact tracing app to help track the spread of COVID, it may seem far-fetched to let technology assist in a labor intensive activity, let alone one of such a sensitive topic. Formal contact tracing as defined by the CDC, is a specific practice and methodology with guidelines and procedures provided by various experts. The CDC provides training and tools to formally conduct contact tracing efforts and should be followed at all times to get the best results. According to an article in [ProPublica](https://www.propublica.org/article/you-dont-need-invasive-tech-for-successful-contact-tracing-heres-how-it-works), “contact tracing is a public health strategy that has been used successfully to combat infectious disease outbreaks across the globe since the 1930s.” It has helped track syphilis in the United States and Ebola in West Africa. It remains to be seen if some of the new apps that are popping up for contact tracing will be able to deliver on the guidelines. Many are plagued with [accuracy and privacy issues](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/contact-tracing-apps-are-slow-start-u-s-n1210191). However, there are less formal ways to use the data from your existing cloud-based access control system to help identify individuals who may have come in contact with an infected individual. This data can quickly provide a report to help identify possible exposure for those who have been in your facility. ## **Can technology help identify individuals who may have been exposed in your facility?** [Brivo Contact Reporting](/facility-safety-features/) is a new functionality of Brivo Onair that can generate a report identifying users who occupied the same space and may have been in contact with an infected individual. For instance, if an employee comes to the office and later finds out they are positive for the virus, you can filter the access data in your cloud-based security platform to narrow down those exposed. You can pull a report that shows results based on site and date range of when the infected individual entered your property. You can then see who else was in the building at the same time to let them know they may have been exposed, giving them the opportunity to get tested. ## **Brivo Contact Reporting can help you identify people in your facility who may have been exposed to a contagious individual.** While this does not replace official contact tracing as described by the CDC, it can help you identify exposed individuals more quickly, enabling them to take the right precautions and allowing you to inform others to minimize potential spread. Check out the video showcasing the Brivo Contact Reporting feature and see how it works.

Brivo turned its own access-activity data into a window on the nation's path back to normal… **Content:** Some 315 million Americans have been quarantined for weeks as COVID-19 has swept the nation. Slowly, states are starting to lift restrictions, eager to restart their economies. Experts, however, warn that the public health stakes are still high. As people trickle back into businesses and offices, everyone is watching closely. Data will be the key to getting life back to ‘normal.’ We will obviously need to keep tracking infections and deaths. But we also need to monitor human interactions. We need data to understand where people are going, and how frequently. With no vaccine in place, we have to fight this pandemic by understanding human behavior, and changing it as needed. Brivo can provide this critical behavioral data. Through its building access data, Brivo can see what types of businesses are astir, and to what degree. Brivo is sharing that data with the nation, in hopes that it will help shed light on a path to recovery. ## **What we know so far** This week, all 50 states began lifting their quarantine restrictions to varying degrees. Though it’s still early, Brivo is monitoring activity in every state, which you can view [here](https://www.brivo.com/resource-library/states-are-preparing-to-open-back-up-which-ones-are-seeing-an-increase-in-access-activity/). For example, we can see that South Dakota is leading the pack when it comes to resuming activities. In that state, building activity is only 11% lower than before the pandemic. That makes sense considering South Dakota has the nation’s lowest number of restrictions, [according to data from WalletHub. ](https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-the-fewest-coronavirus-restrictions/73818/) Beyond physical location, Brivo can also see what types of businesses are most active. This data reveals big picture trends across the nation. In many states, salons and gyms have been among the first businesses to reopen. Brivo is therefore tracking those, which you can see [here](https://www.brivo.com/resource-library/which-industries-are-headed-back-to-work-in-america/). So far, Brivo data shows that hair and beauty salons are only 12% lower than normal. Gym activity, however, is still 60% lower than normal — but on an upswing with a 29 point gain since its low point in April. The reopening of schools, daycares and worship centers have also dominated the headlines. Given the large crowds at each, these present unique public health concerns. Brivo is closely tracking activity at these facilities, which you can see [here.](https://www.brivo.com/resource-library/education-and-religion-will-they-lead-the-call-back-to-work/) According to Brivo data, worship centers are starting to see an uptick, albeit slight. Activity is still 63% lower than normal, but that’s on par with the levels in late March, when quarantines were just barely starting to take effect. This suggests an upward trend, which Brivo will continue to track. Lastly, Brivo mapped its data to show the pandemic’s [impact](https://www.brivo.com/impacts-of-covid-19/) on commercial real estate. [Here](https://www.brivo.com/impacts-of-covid-19/), you can see the staggering drops in the number of daily active users entering workplaces, schools and places of worship.This allows you to see the sheer magnitude of this pandemic in a new light. ## **How to use this data** While it is impossible to know how COVID-19 will play out, experts are predicting that infections will come in waves. Marc Lipsitch, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, says “it’s going to be a matter of managing it over months to a couple of years. It’s not a matter of getting past the peak, as some people seem to believe.” It seems Americans are hunkering down for the long haul, too. An NPR poll recently found that two-thirds expect a return to ‘normal’ life to take [at least six months](https://www.npr.org/2020/05/20/859483975/poll-two-thirds-expect-return-to-normal-will-take-6-months-or-more?origin=NOTIFY). The same poll found that as the nation reopens, 77% of Americans are still worried about a second wave to infections. In that vein, understanding data can help us contain and even prevent infections in the coming months, or possibly years. Already, we have [learned so much](https://www.brivo.com/leaders-lead-in-times-of-trouble/) about how to manage this pandemic by controlling human behavior. Knowing how and when to control that behavior takes sound leadership, empowered by accurate, timely information. **Categories:** Security --- ### [Security Professionals Reveal Their Top Technology Stack Needs (Part 4)](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/security-professionals-reveal-their-top-technology-stack-needs-part-4/) **Published:** December 16, 2019 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** As the year closes, security pros shared where they want to improve: integrating more physical security functions and adding mobile convenience. Part four of the series on top technology-stack needs… **Content:** As 2019 comes to a close, the opportunity for security innovation in 2020 is at the forefront of our minds. In this four-part blog series, we have discussed the main goals for improvement that security professionals shared with us throughout the year. These initiatives are: 1. Integrate more physical security functions 2. Improve user experience with mobile convenience 3. Reduce risk with enhanced lockdown controls 4. Improve property management security In this final blog of the series, we will discuss the need to solve challenges for providing physical security in a multi-family building. One of the particular challenges we heard is the disconnect between physical security access control and typical visitor entry systems. Multi-family buildings have many guests coming through every day so we need to provide access to visitors, improve tenant directory accuracy and have the ability to review the reporting to check on visitor access as needed. So, how can you differentiate your properties with amenities that provide the visitor convenience tenants want while improving overall security? **We link visitor entry and access control.** Brivo has an [integration with the 2N IP Verso Intercom](https://www.brivo.com/visitor-management/) which provides the missing link between building visitor entry systems and a physical security platform. Here is how we help you improve the visitor experience through safe and efficient entry: ## 1. Use One Interface To Manage Tenant Directories One of the biggest challenges property managers face is managing access control and tenant directories in different platforms. As new tenants are added to the system, others need to be removed. Sometimes these updates are not consistent between the two systems. This leaves the door open for potential security breaches. Brivo’s integration with 2N means you can automatically add, delete or modify 2N intercom user directory listings from Brivo Onair. Tenant records are created in Brivo Onair and added to the desired designated intercom group. Updates are then sent to the 2N directory at specified intervals so your tenant directory is always up to date. ## 2. Grant Access To Visitors From Your Phone Many property attendants and tenants alike wish there was a better way to grant visitor access for multi-family buildings. Now, with Brivo and 2N, there is a convenient and safe way to open doors for visitors with your smartphone. The simple process to grant visitor access goes like this: - The visitor selects a tenant/ attendant to call from the 2N touchscreen display - The tenant speaks to the visitor and unlocks the door by entering a four-digit dial code on their smartphone - The Brivo Onair system determines if that unlock request is valid (accounting for any day/time restrictions that might be set) and unlocks the door - All actions are logged in Brivo Onair so you can review event history at any time Now your property staff has more time to focus on other needs, and you created a competitive advantage for your building versus the competition. ## 3. Increase Efficiency And Improve Tenant Experiences Our platform integration creates efficiencies for running your property while elevating the tenant experience so you are more likely to rent new spaces and keep tenants for longer periods of time. Instead of expecting an attendant to be at the reception desk at all times to buzz in visitors, the experience is now mobile. And, you are empowering your tenants to securely open doors for their expected visitors with the ease of their phones. By seamlessly configuring the 2N IP Verso device from Brivo Onair and setting-up automatic downloads, you can rest assured that your tenant directory is acting as a source of protection rather than an inaccurate list of risk.

The first is automatic door detection based on proximity. The second is voice commands for complete hands-free operation. The third is a high-assurance option based on two-factor biometric authentication. Together they provide dealers, property managers and tenants with increased convenience and cyber protection for commercial and multifamily security systems. Automatic door detection provides a more frictionless user experience by eliminating the need to select which door the credential-holder would like to open. Instead, the system uses Bluetooth signals from Brivo’s readers to sense which door is closest and selects it automatically. Legacy doors that are not yet equipped with Brivo’s readers can still be opened from mobile apps via Brivo’s cloud API, providing a migration path for mixed door populations without expensive retrofitting. “The ability to use our mobile app instead of a keycard is the biggest change to the user experience of security since we introduced cloud computing to commercial access control over fifteen years ago. As both landlords and employers look for technology to enhance the workplace and multifamily tenant experience, phone-based access has become essential,” said Steve Van Till, President and CEO of Brivo. “Mobile credentials are built into our Onair platform, so there’s nothing extra that our customers need to do,” continued Van Till. “We also felt it was important to maintain backward compatibility for our 15 million current users who may still be in spaces equipped with traditional readers.” Voice commands work in tandem with automatic door selection to provide another option for interacting with Brivo-managed physical spaces. The resulting touchless access experience is an operational advantage in the many access scenarios where people have their hands full, like commercial package delivery or simply arriving at the office while juggling your backpack, coffee, and bagel. Voice mode can be used with either the automatic door detection feature, or by saying the name of a pre-existing door that is not yet outfitted with Brivo’s Bluetooth readers. Brivo Onair Pass also provides a high-assurance option for two-factor biometric authentication. This new feature leverages the facial and fingerprint features already embedded in mobile phones. This is ideal for the many facilities with policies requiring higher degrees of authentication for some doors and spaces, such as data centers, high value storage, cash management rooms, and laboratories. Systems administrators can mandate the use of biometric authentication for specific doors or for an entire facility, as needed, through the Brivo Onair user interface. These new mobile features are also available to Brivo’s developer community via our Onair API, a RESTful implementation which was originally launched in 2007 and now supports hundreds of custom partner and end user applications spanning identity management, remote control, and data streaming. Brivo Onair Pass was first launched in 2015 and immediately became available to all Brivo customers as a feature of the company’s SaaS platform, which has been providing advanced cloud-based access control for commercial properties since 2002. Onair passes can be added, revoked and removed via the Onair web application or the Brivo Onair Mobile Administration (BOMA) app. Authorized Brivo Resellers can order from Brivo or directly through the Brivo Partner Portal. **About Brivo** Brivo is the global leader in cloud-based security and property management solutions for commercial and multifamily properties that simplify security interactions for property managers, tenants, employees, and visitors.

As physical security goes 'frictionless,' here's how access control biometrics and radio-frequency (RFID) technology let people in without the fumbling… **Content:** Badges, tokens, and fobs are becoming artifacts of the past physical security and access control era. The new one emphasizes “frictionless” experiences, i.e., experiences in which employees and visitors don’t have to rummage around for their badges or wait for IT or security to give them entry to the building. Those experiences become a reality through a number of technologies, but the common ones are access control biometrics and radio frequencies (RFID). The two technologies can be used separately, or they can be combined. The latter option holds the most promise; it allows for greater reliability, accuracy, security, and convenience. ## Biometrics Options in access control biometrics include fingerprints, iris recognition, heartbeats, and facial recognition. The most popular option is facial recognition because it often is the simplest and least expensive to implement. Enterprise environments can invest in off-the-shelf [video cameras](https://www.brivo.com/remote-video-surveillance) and [integrate them](https://www.brivo.com/brivo-onair-api) with software analytics in order to compare people entering the camera’s field of view against a database. The solution works well in low-capacity environments, but it can struggle to scale. Its underlying technology simply can’t keep up with the required throughput as more people join the organization. When the solution breaks down, some people are incorrectly allowed access while others are incorrectly denied it. A frictionless experience it is not. Some enterprise environments turn to more complex facial recognition technologies like 3D facial modeling. As with basic facial recognition, it can be plagued by reliability and accuracy issues. It poses other challenges; for instance, it often is more expensive to implement than a basic facial recognition system and requires a larger installation. The two are technologies to watch; work is ongoing with the recognition and modeling technologies. In addition, they are ideally suited for dual-authentication measures and high security areas. ## Radio Frequencies Radio frequencies (RF) are what we commonly know as WiFi and Bluetooth. RF-embedded chips in our mobile devices transmit a unique signature, or identity, that can be read by a receiver. The accuracy of the access control and physical security system is largely dependent on the quantity and quality of the receivers within the enterprise environment. Neither issue is insurmountable, particularly with a [cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) system](https://www.brivo.com/identity-management) and ever smaller receivers. With a cloud-based solution, receivers are updated automatically, thereby decreasing maintenance and support costs while increasing reliability and security. The technology, like access control biometrics, is in a constant state of improvement. As both the transmitters and receivers improve, their presence in access control solutions will increase. ## Biometrics and Radio Frequencies Combining the two technologies holds the greatest promise for easy access coupled with greater security. When the two are integrated, security and access can occur by exception. The building, rather than constantly granting access to people with identified biometric or RF identities, manages access by only locking doors and other areas when an unidentified person is present. Such a system produces more data, meaning that the underlying architecture has to be able to contain, monitor, and analyze it. That data, though, increases reliability and accuracy. The system knows who’s in the building, where they are in the building, and why they’re in a particular area of the building. The integrated system not only offers the benefit of security by exception but also of crowdsourced security. When an unidentified person is present, we notice because of the bottleneck at the door. Our senses tell us something is amiss, allowing us to respond to situations faster and mitigate potential risks to the safety and security of the building and the people within it. **Categories:** Technology --- ### [2018 Top Physical Security Trends](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/blog-top-physical-security-trends-2018/) **Published:** January 23, 2018 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Are you protecting your facilities with outdated systems?

Or, Is There Room For Improvement?](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/blog-utilize-access-control-for-multiple-locations/) **Published:** August 22, 2017 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Growth often means new offices and stores in new cities—and the headache of securing them all. Are you fully using access control across your multiple locations, or is there room to improve… **Content:** Growth comes in many forms, some of which may include the expansion of offices or stores in different cities and countries. As a result of office expansion, you have to secure and monitor [multiple locations](/multi-site-building-security-systems/), oversee employees in distant offices, and ensure that your facilities are secure. For example: which offices dispersed all over the world, it’s impossible to personally see if your employees are arriving on time, working a full day, wearing proper business attire, and that all doors are locked and secure. To tackle these and other challenges you might want to rethink your current access control: Traditional access control systems (lock-and-key or on-premises electronic access) that are deployed across multiple facilities are not easily integrated so visibility is limited or non-existent. Also, managing access permissions across these systems often requires hand-entered modifications to rules and permissions. [Docusign had a similar challenge with an outdated access control system](https://resources.brivo.com/customer-stories/technology-multisite-docusign) which added a layer of complexity when managing the day-to-day security of their locations. Docusign, like many other companies, had to physically be present at each location to make modifications to access control rights, to resolve security issues, and to investigate events at each location. As they continued to expand to multiple locations across countries, time zones, and cultures, their localized security systems became unmanageable. ## **Rethink Your Multi-Site Access Control** Like [DocuSign](https://resources.brivo.com/customer-stories/technology-multisite-docusign), leveraging cloud access control technology will help you: - Secure, administer, monitor and report all activity from all locations - Check if doors are locked, remotely from tablet, mobile or PC - Lock and unlock all facilities and specific doors on a schedule - Streamline the review of access events during investigations - Open doors remotely as needed - Create custom access schedules for special shifts - Create separate facility access levels by employee level or authority - Set up alerts for unusual activities - Integrate video capabilities for additional security and accountability All of this is available from for all locations from a single centralized platform.

A former property manager shares the biggest challenges—and how modern access control helps put them to rest… **Content:** During my second year at American University I was friends with a guy named Frank. Frank’s parents owned apartment buildings in the DC area, so he joined the family business. He became a successful property manager overseeing several properties. Frank and I met for coffee after he saw on LinkedIn that I joined Brivo. He had heard about new electronic [access control technologies](/products/brivo-onair) and was curious how it could help him. After rehashing the good old days before we had wives and kids… and we were in joint amazement that we were still in one piece after some college shenanigans (we all have stories we wouldn’t tell our mothers, don’t judge), Frank gave me the overview about his property manager role. From his perspective property managers worry about three core things: ## Biggest worries Property Managers Have ## 1. Keeping it easy Managing a property is time consuming enough… [managing multiple properties](/multi-unit-building-security-systems/) can take over your life. For those who are homeowners, there’s always another problem you need to resolve, a repair you have to make, or another contractor you have to trust. Many apartment dwellers make the choice to remain in an apartment because they do not want to have to deal with maintenance or contractors. They want someone to take care of it all for them. Tenants expect you to be in multiple places at once to immediately solve those issues. For example, Each time a tenant leaves, loses a fob, etc. Frank has to go to that location to update the access privileges. Frank is constantly looking for ways to ease the pain, and make it look like he is in multiple places at once. ## 2. Keeping it safe Frank told me about a situation where a tenant, let’s call her Tiffany, complained that someone had broken into her car in the parking garage. Someone had stolen a few random items, such as her backpack and the change in her cup holder. Frank drove to the property and checked his old trusty DVR. He spent a few hours running through a day’s worth of footage and found a clip of a tenant walking in through the back door, and someone tailgated the tenant and walked in. Separate footage from another camera shows the same individual walking around the garage, and another clip of the person, a.k.a the thief, leaving the building with the backpack. Good news, the thief wasn’t a tenant. Frank wrote a letter to the apartment community reminding them not to hold doors open for unknown folks and if someone grabs the door last minute to ask them what apartment they live in or who they are there to visit. If they hesitate or make up a fake number, give Frank a call to let him know of potential monkey business. ## 3. Keep ‘em coming back for more Vacancies hurt revenue. Frank’s main goal is to keep all units occupied at all times as well as attract new property owners and increase inventory. In the past the competitive Washington, DC market made it easy to have pretty much have continuous occupancy, but things are changing. Tenants, especially frugal millennials, expect more convenience and more amenities at a lower price. Building technology has virtually overhauled over the last fifteen years since Frank left American University. Frank’s properties were built decades ago and aren’t necessary green or efficient. They don’t have party rooms or shared spaces. Only one building has a gym. Frank did this in an attempt to draw in more tenants, but at this point he doubts that it’s a differentiator. In his spare time, Frank finds himself researching little ways to increase the tenant experience to get more tenants. Frank told a few stories about strange tenants and managing ridiculous personalities as well. I tip my hat to all property managers, y’all deal with some crazy people. Once I gained my composure, Frank asked me how Brivo could help him. So I gave Frank my expert opinion on access control systems for property management and how it could support his main goals while running less convoluted operations. **Categories:** Security --- ### [Taking A Sledgehammer to Old Doors and Locks](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/blog-brivo-integrates-with-schlage-nde-wireless-locks/) **Published:** May 8, 2017 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** No new door, no broken door, no extra wiring.

Five practical strategies to strengthen your company's physical security—beginning with whether it's finally time to reconsider cloud-based access control… **Content:** Improving the security of your company starts at the physical level. Stir your business in the right direction by implementing these five physical security strategies: ## 1. Consider (or Reconsider) Cloud-Based Access Control Cloud-based security solutions are being adopted for the same reasons that companies are choosing cloud solutions for other key business systems. Some benefits include less IT, instant scalability, anytime, anywhere management, faster deployment and lower costs. We felt that a unique reason to the security space is that businesses are choosing cloud-based access control because of its maximized security. Unlike other companies, cloud companies invest in high levels of protection and expertise because for them that is the core of their offering. The end result is that their buyers benefit from the additional investment in security. ## 2. Make Cyber Security Part of Your Physical Security Plan – and Vice-Versa Virtually every access control solution, involves connections to the Internet. Many Internet-connected devices, including some IP-based security devices, are deployed with weak cyber protections. For that matter, if you have a server controlling your door access, you need to ensure that its frequently checked for any security threats. Bottom line: make sure the vendors that provide and maintain your access control system adhere to strong cyber practices. And if you take care of your own in-house solution, double-check that your IT team is keeping your system safe at all times. Watch our webinar, [Five Technological Forces Changing Physical Security](https://resources.brivo.com/five-technological-forces-transforming-physical-security/) to understand why these strategies are important and how they apply to the industry today. **Categories:** Security --- ### [A Closer Look at Brivo’s Integrated Power Solution](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/blog-a-closer-look-at-brivos-integrated-power-solution/) **Published:** November 1, 2016 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** Power is the unsung hero of any access control install. A closer look at Brivo's Integrated Power Solution—built with LifeSafety Power to unify system, lock, and panel power in one enclosure… **Content:** Earlier this year Brivo announced its partnership with LifeSaftey Power® and showed how installers specifying access control installations can take advantage of a unified enclosure coordinating system power, lock power and access panel hardware with the new Brivo Integrated Power Management System. Through our partnership with LifeSafety Power, Brivo brings to the installer community a complete electrical and mechanical integration of power, locks and Brivo ACS5000 controllers in a single wall mount chassis, providing faster, simpler installation and greater service efficiencies. ## Integration benefits Traditionally, access control integrators would need three separate cabinets for system power, lock power and access hardware, greatly increasing the wall space footprint and the job costs due to multiple AC drops and inter-cabinet wiring. Brivo Integrated Supply, however, has a unique power distribution architecture that busses 12 and 24V DC across all the power distribution modules with individual voltage selection on a per output basis. With the LifeSafety Power partnership, integrators can realize up to 60% wall space savings and 40% installation savings. Brivo Integrated Power Supply was originally introduced with single voltage units (LSP-SV75 and LSP-SV150), for 4-16 doors in two different chassis models, and have recently been expanded to include dual voltage and managed power units. ## Brivo Single Voltage SKUs **LSP-SV75** 75W Single Voltage Power System for Brivo boards - 12V/6A | 75 Watts for Brivo controllers - 24H x 20W x 4.5D enclosure accommodates up to three (3) ACS5000 series boards (Main, DB, IO) *Note: ACS5000 panels and expansion boards sold separately. Back-up batteries not included.* **LSP-SV150** 150W Single Voltage Power System for Brivo boards and locks - 12V/12A | 150 Watts for Brivo controllers - 36H x 30H x 4.5D enclosure accommodates up to (10) ACS5000 series boards (Main, DB, IO) *Note: ACS5000 panels and expansion boards sold separately. Back-up batteries not included.* ## Brivo Dual Voltage SKUs **LSP-DV150** 150W Dual Voltage Power System for Brivo boards and locks - 12V/4A for Brivo controllers - 24V/4A for lock power - 24H x 20W x 4.5D enclosure accommodates up to three (3) ACS5000 series boards (Main, DB, IO) and (6) six locks *Note: ACS5000 panels and expansion boards sold separately. Back-up batteries not included.* **LSP-DV250** 400W Dual Voltage Power System for Brivo boards and locks - 12V/20A | 150 Watts for Brivo controllers - 24V/10A | 250 Watts for lock power - 36H x 30H x 4.5D enclosure accommodates up to (10) ACS5000 series boards (Main, DB, IO) and (16) sixteen locks *Note: ACS5000 panels and expansion boards sold separately. Back-up batteries not included.* ## Now…Brivo Managed Power Advantage With new dual voltage managed power systems, integrators gain the ability to offer a full suite of managed power services by monitoring the operation and health of the power system, battery set, locks, or any system connected device. Typical on-site service functions such as battery test, or onsite power cycling are able to be performed remotely freeing up technician time and more importantly, being able to respond instantly to system issues providing greater system uptime. The power management system is also predictive by identifying potential problems with batteries or connected devices so onsite maintenance can be performed before a problem occurs. Intelligent power management provides instant notification of AC power loss, fire alarm input activation, cameras or locks drawing power beyond their rated current and information on batteries operating at a low, critical level. Scheduled or manual remote battery checks and the ability to proactively address potential system concerns prior to an incident give the end user greater peace of mind and enhanced system uptime—good news because this capability is available now! ## Brivo Networked Power Management SKUs **LSP-DV150-NET** 150W Dual Voltage Networked Power System for Brivo boards and locks - 12V/4A for Brivo controllers - 24V/4A for lock power - 24H x 20W x 4.5D enclosure accommodates up to three (3) ACS5000 series boards (Main, DB, IO) and (6) six locks *Note: ACS5000 panels and expansion boards sold separately.

Built for developers and technology partners, here's how the RESTful API enables smarter, custom access control… **Content:** Let’s discuss what the Brivo Application Program Interface (API) can do for your business—for starters, the Brivo API empowers the cloud-based access control application, Brivo Onair, to do everything from listing activity events to opening a door. But while the Brivo Onair web application was built with end-users in mind, the Brivo API was built for developers and technology partners to extend their reach and reap the assorted benefits of a unified enterprise solution. By combining data and functionality from disparate pieces of software, businesses can build entirely new products and workflows. At Brivo we use our API not only to power our flagship access control platform, BrivoOnair, but also to create unique and specialized mobile applications. Brivo Onair for iOS and Android uses endpoints from the Brivo API to surface activity, user management, door control and video feeds in a way that is specific to standard native mobile application design. Our digital credential, Brivo Mobile Pass, takes the same functionality of door control, and puts it in the hands of authorized users—but that’s just for access control. Developers from different business verticals are finding other ways to use the Brivo API to power their ideas. Here are some other ways of implementing access control functions to create new products: ## Access Control Analytics An integration partner is connecting Splunk data visualization and Brivo site and access information to create powerful business intelligence and analytics tools that showcase the Brivo OnAir account and user activity in a Splunk dashboard. ## Coworking Spaces What if you could login to a co-working application and reserve a room or office? How would that service get you a credential to open the door? The Brivo API can help program that access into your application. Several partners now use the Brivo API to create groups and scheduling logic to fill co-working reservations. ## Identity Synchronization What about syncing user data with a membership or visitor management system to provision access rights? Or showing camera feeds or access events inside a command center? Or opening a door with your smartphone or chat window. These are some of the things you can build into your existing business logic. What new product or workflow do you want to build?

How cloud-based access control can finally change the hotel experience for the better… **Content:** Most hotels, even the ones with the best customer service, are not known as places of convenient access. You wait to check in and to check out. You’re given a key card that may or may not work with the door in question. Other steps: putting a credit card on file, being given cards for the fitness room or the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. Fortunately, that experience is changing for the better. A number of hotels, Marriott among them, are exploring how to better serve guests. That question is leading to integrations of APIs like Marriott’s and Apple Pay. People not only can pay with their Apple credentials, but they also can tie those payments to their Marriott credit card and associated rewards program. No more fumbling for the credit card; no more visiting multiple apps to ensure reward points have been recorded. Everything is done through a single app. It’s seamless, simple, and secure. The actual process is similar to using Apple Pay at any opted-in grocery or retail store. Guests use a kiosk in the Marriott lobby, tap their phone against it, and automatically pay for their stay. Other hotels, like the Starwood, aim to enhance the experience further. Payment is only one of the hurdles. The other, obviously, is the dreaded door and key card system. The Starwood is exploring keyless entry systems. With them, guests aren’t asked to remember to keep the card with them at all times—and how many times has a guest exited the room certain he or she has the card only to discover otherwise? Instead of traditional cards, access credentials are issued to a person’s mobile phone. They approach the keyless lock. Depending on the system, either they present their mobile phone to a screen, or the lock “reads” the mobile signature and credential. In either case, the door automatically unlocks, a nice benefit when a guest’s hands are filled with luggage and carry-ons. Starwood’s solution, however, doesn’t necessarily resolve the payment issue. Guests still have to stop at the front desk to put a card on file before receiving their credentials. While the step may not be frustrating, it certainly isn’t seamless. In fact, it can be hugely inconvenient if the receptionist is away from the desk. To simplify the process, apps and systems should be integrated further. What if the access control system synced with payment and a hotel’s reward system? Guests might still need to visit with the clerk and present an ID card, but at least they don’t have to pull out a credit card and wait for key cards. Then again, mobile identities could take care of even that point. Front clerks would still be needed; they are, after all, the face of the hotel. But they wouldn’t be required to act as the authenticator and provider of credentials. The access control system takes care of that efficiently and securely, leaving the receptionists free to answer questions about where the best local sushi place is or how to get to the Metro. **Categories:** Security --- ### [What is Access Control As A Service (ACaaS)?](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/blog-access-control-as-a-service/) **Published:** April 29, 2015 **Author:** Brivo **Excerpt:** IAM, SaaS, API, HaaS, ACaaS—physical security can feel like alphabet soup. A clear explainer on Access Control as a Service: what ACaaS means and why it's catching on… **Content:** Every industry has its lingo. Access control and physical security is no exception. Add the cloud-computing layer, and it can seem like you’re wading in alphabet soup. IAM? SaaS? API? HaaS? Then there’s access control as a service (ACaaS). The acronym has been around for a few years, but it’s starting to catch on. Put the term into Google, and you’ll get some relevant search results, one of which ponders its “disruptive” nature. Access Control as a Service could be disruptive in the same way that BYOD and IoT have been. The latter two have caused a ripple effect, spreading from the consumer side to the commercial. Business is no longer the same. Work is done anywhere, at any time. IoT is leading to improved workflow and productivity. Will ACaaS do the same? It could. ## ACaaS defined ACaaS means “access control as a service.” It’s applying the principles of Software as a Service (SaaS) to access control. What does that mean for end users? At least seven things: 1. Minimal upfront costs 2. Monthly subscription fee 3. Lower maintenance costs 4. Remote support and assistance 5. Web browser application that can be accessed anywhere, any time 6. Customizability 7. Convenient security ACaaS is no different from SaaS except that the service in question is access control. You pay as you go and only for what you need. ## ACaaS versus traditional access control Traditional, or legacy, access control systems are not inexpensive purchases. They tend to feature large upfront costs as well as bells and whistles, each of which has a corresponding price tag. Many small businesses don’t need all those offerings, not to mention afford them. But they’re given little choice. If they want access control, they have to pay for the features, even the ones they will never, ever use. Traditional access control sometimes acts as a monopoly. The software only works with certain equipment, leaving businesses with no choice but to use what the provider recommends. Both the software and hardware typically are on-site, too, increasing the total cost of ownership (TCO). ACaaS takes a different approach. It often uses an open-platform API, like the one found with Brivo OnAir. That means customers aren’t locked into hardware. In fact, they aren’t locked into much of anything. The software is designed to play well with others, both third-party applications and devices. ACaaS also is streamlined. It isn’t interested in bells and whistles; those can be added later, if needed. It’s interested in providing the essentials: access control for as few as two doors to as many as the underlying infrastructure can support. ## ACaaS demand Do you remember when Netflix and Blockbuster were duking it out? The scenario is similar to the one playing out with ACaaS and traditional access control. [IHS already predicts a winner](http://www.asmag.com/showpost/18197.aspx "ACaaS as an alternative to traditional systems"); they estimate 1.8 million ACaaS doors in the Americas by 2018. That trajectory is steep; in 2013, the number of ACaaS doors was only 80,000. Other trends are driving the demand. Web-based panels and readers continue to grow in popularity. Businesses with multiple locations are seeking cloud-based solutions in order to centralize operations. Data, too, is a driver. Businesses want access control data so that they can improve not only physical security but also business processes and end-user experiences. Is ACaaS disruptive? Maybe, maybe not. But it will change the way businesses manage access control. It already is. *Want to learn more about our ACaaS and its benefits to your small business?

[ Let's talk ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) [ #### What is unified physical security and how does it benefit my business? ](javascript:void(0)) Unified physical security brings access control, video surveillance, visitor management, and intrusion detection into a single cloud-native platform. Instead of managing multiple fragmented systems, you get a single database and one login to oversee your entire business footprint. This unified approach benefits your business by replacing passive recording with proactive, AI-driven automation, allowing your team to respond to security events instantly, optimize daily operations, and reduce administrative overhead. [ #### How does Brivo integrate access control and video surveillance? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo seamlessly links access control events with real-time video surveillance inside a single dashboard. Because our cloud database is fully unified, when an employee scans a mobile credential or a door is held open, the platform automatically indexes the corresponding video clip. This access-linked indexing lets you visually verify any security incident in seconds, without wasting time manually matching timestamps across different software programs. [ #### Are Brivo’s cloud-based access control systems secure for enterprise use? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, Brivo operates the largest, most reliable unified security platform in the world, designed specifically to meet rigorous enterprise standards. Our dedicated cloud-native SaaS architecture is built and managed with multiple layers of redundancy across globally distributed data centers. Every connection features end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and secure single sign-on (SSO), giving you the robust cyber-protection of a Fortune 500 company alongside the simplicity of a cloud application. [ #### Can I manage multiple global locations through the Brivo Security Suite? ](javascript:void(0)) Absolutely. The Brivo Security Suite is built to scale from a single door to multi-location global enterprises. Because our platform is cloud-native, you can manage access privileges, modify schedules, and monitor live video feeds across thousands of international sites. Authorized administrators can securely log in from any desktop or mobile device to adjust system-wide policies in real-time, regardless of where your offices are located. [ #### What third-party platforms can Brivo integrate with via API? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo features an open, flexible API ecosystem that plays nicely with over 400 technology partners.

Access control is one piece, but adding [video analytics](/products/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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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. --- ### [Regulatory Compliance](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/security-compliance/) **Published:** June 22, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Audit Readiness # Regulatory Compliance and Reporting for Security Teams [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ![Compliance Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Compliance-Hero.jpg "Simply Better Security") ###### Operational Evidence ## Compliance Through Centralized Security At its core, security compliance is the continuous, day-to-day discipline of following your organization’s security rules and proving adherence through every audit cycle. For physical security teams, that proof typically includes access authorizations, user change history, visitor records, event logs, incident timelines, and audit-ready records. With Brivo Security Suite, security compliance becomes easier to manage because access, video, intrusion, visitor activity, and event history can be reviewed on one cloud-based platform. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ## Use Cases for Compliance in Physical Security Operations Compliance is most effective when it is built into repeatable workflows within Brivo Security Suite that automatically generate audit-ready records, rather than as a manual scramble before an audit. ##### Joiners, movers, and leavers If workforce changes are frequent, stale access is a risk. You need a user change record with approvals and timestamps that show who gained or lost access, ensuring that automated deprovisioning aligns with your centralized identity provider. ##### Visitors, contractors, and vendors When temporary access is common, shared codes become a blind spot, so you need a visitor log export and a defined visitor log retention policy that documents the host, time window, and specific doors used. In addition, video provides visual context to the non-employee activity. ##### Restricted areas and controlled zones Sensitive rooms require tighter governance. A role-to-zone policy record and a current list of authorized users help create a least-privilege access model, so users have access only to zones required for their roles. Video surveillance monitors and captures unusual behaviors in these critical zones. ##### Exceptions and after-hours access Emergency access and off-hours work need clear documentation. Keep an exception-approval record that explicitly links the approving manager to the access-event history by door and location. Visual monitoring records exceptions and after-hours access. ##### Incident follow-up and vendor audits When an incident escalates, searching for evidence shouldn’t slow you down. With exportable vendor logs and tamper-proof video, you can fulfill audit requests in minutes rather than days, providing timestamps for when contractors entered and exited your facility. [ Protection For security teams ](/solutions/security-teams/) ###### Evidence and Documentation ## Framework for Security Compliance During Audits Audits run smoother when your team can produce consistent evidence on demand, with clear ownership across security, facilities, and IT. Implementing a structured framework simplifies adherence to global standards such as NIST, PCI DSS physical security requirements, and HIPAA facility access controls. ![security compliance-mobile](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/security-compliance-mobile-1024x730.webp "Simply Better Security") **Credential governance and approvals:** Maintain approved credential types and approval records; provide access authorization lists and approval trails. (Owner: Security with IT) **Identity lifecycle and deprovisioning:** Align on- and offboarding with physical access. Map roles to zones and least-privilege policies; provide door policy reports and user creation, update, and deactivation history synced with your centralized Identity Provider (IdP). (Owner: Security and IT) **MFA for higher-risk doors:** Apply multi-factor authentication (MFA) or a second factor where required; provide configuration records and credential governance logs to prove compliance with restricted area policies. (Owner: IT and Security) **Visitor and contractor governance:** Use time-bound access and documented check-in; export visitor logs and access windows by location. (Owner: Facilities or Security) **Logging, video evidence, and retention:** Produce access event history and tamper-proof video evidence; document your security log retention policy and perform periodic system reviews to demonstrate continuous audit readiness. (Owner: Security with IT) **Security system integrity** Demonstrate that security devices are up and healthy while the security system is cybersecure. ###### Centralized Operations ## The Brivo Security Suite Helps Enable Security Compliance Eliminate the gap between policy and practice by automating evidence collection across access, video, and visitor activity in one unified operational view. - **Centralize evidence across locations.** Manage doors, cameras, schedules, and users in one platform, so audit requests don’t require pulling records from multiple tools.Apply consistent schedules and governance across properties while still supporting site-level exceptions. - **Enforce role-based governance.** Use role- and zone-based permissions, so access aligns to policy and is easier to explain during reviews. - **Control third-party access with time bounds.** Set start and end times for vendors and contractors, so access expires automatically, and exceptions are easier to track. Provide additional evidence linking the video to the events to be validated. - **Export audit-ready reporting.** Produce access event history, correlated video footage, and admin action records in seconds, eliminating the manual data-gathering ‘fire drill’ that often precedes a compliance review. - **Track guests with Brivo Visitor Management, powered by Envoy.** Capture check-in details and visitor records for export to support governance and follow-up. - **Bring validated security assurances.** Brivo maintains SOC 2 Type II (report under NDA) and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications, as well as CSA STAR Level 1 validation and PCI DSS compliance. ## Secure Your Company and Meet Compliance With Brivo If you manage multiple locations, the challenge for compliance is more than writing policies — it’s applying them consistently and producing evidence quickly. With Brivo, a regional operator can mandate that all warehouses follow the same PCI DSS physical security standards, ensuring that a policy change at the head office is instantly enforced across all remote facilities. Brivo’s enterprise security approach is designed to satisfy stringent regulatory compliance solutions and IT requirements. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Regulatory Compliance, Evidence, and Audit Readiness [ ### Which security compliance frameworks matter most for physical security teams? ](javascript:void(0)) It depends on your industry and where you operate. Many teams start with data privacy because access logs and video contain personal data. In the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets expectations for secure processing and retention. If you use biometric authentication or AI-enabled identification in the EU, the EU AI Act can impose obligations on deployers of high-risk AI systems, including operational controls and logging requirements, and it can intersect with GDPR impact assessments. For critical infrastructure, North American energy organizations may need to align physical security controls with NERC CIP standards (for example, CIP-006, which addresses the physical security of Bulk Electric System cyber systems). A couple more key security compliance frameworks include: - HIPAA - ISO/IEC 27001 - SOC 2 (Type I & II) - NIST SP 800-53 (PE Family) - PCI DSS 4.0 (Requirement 9) - C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) [ ### What audit evidence should a physical security team be able to produce quickly? ](javascript:void(0)) You should be able to show who was authorized, what changed, and what happened. That usually means access authorization records, user change history, visitor logs, and door event history. When video is used, linking it to the relevant events helps teams produce a clearer incident timeline. [ ### How long should you retain access control logs and visitor records? ](javascript:void(0)) Retention depends on your internal policy and any regulatory, contractual, or insurance requirements. The key is consistency: define a retention and deletion approach and make sure teams can follow it across locations. [ ### How do you handle exceptions such as emergency access or after-hours vendors? ](javascript:void(0)) Treat exceptions as controlled events, not informal workarounds. Limit access to a defined window, require approval when your policy calls for it, and keep a record of who approved the exception and when it was used. [ ### Can security compliance be achieved with separate access and video systems? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, but it can add friction. When evidence is scattered across separate tools, teams often spend more time assembling records and reconciling timelines. A unified event history with linked context can make audits and incident follow-up faster. --- ### [Workforce Turnover](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/employee-access-control-systems/) **Published:** June 23, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Workforce Turnover # Employee Security and Access Control Systems [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ![Workforce Turnover Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Workforce-Turnover-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Manage Credential Risk ## The Impact of Workforce Turnover on Access Control Operations Workforce turnover strains multi-site security. During restructuring, slow updates cause critical security gaps. Late onboarding forces employees to share credentials, while delayed offboarding leaves facilities vulnerable. The Brivo Security Suite syncs your employee access control and video surveillance systems. It captures door events in real time and uses AI-driven features, like [Face Match](/products/video-analytics/face-matching-software), to flag unauthorized entry, securing your property instantly. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ## Manage Employee Access Control and Video in One Place With employee access control systems, the goal is simple: issue access quickly, reduce exposure when roles change, revoke access efficiently if an employee departs or is terminated, and keep clear evidence when something needs review. ##### Pre-start provisioning Provision access before day one and set start dates so new hires are ready on arrival. Employees enter with the correct credentials, and the video provides visual context when questions arise or when biometric access is used. Logs capture issuance, activation time, and door activity by user. ##### Badge pickup and first-day verification Define where pickup happens and which doors work on day one and provide biometric facial access with Brivo Door Station. Employees get predictable entry, while video can help confirm activity. The system generates a tamper-proof audit history showing the first use, access events, and any exceptions within that window. ##### Mobile issuance for distributed teams Zero-touch provisioning removes the logistical bottleneck of printing and mailing physical badges. Employees can then use their phones to enter, and the linked video helps speed up incident review when access needs to be verified. Reports track credential changes and related door events. ##### Shift-based access and temporary projects Apply schedules by role, shift, and location, and grant short-term access for project windows. Employees get access that matches their assignment, while integrated video helps security teams audit movement through high-risk zones. ##### Contractors, vendors, and visitors with defined start and end times By integrating workforce access management, admins can keep guest and contractor access strictly time-bound, reducing the risk of “stale” permissions lingering after a project ends. Visitors enter only approved areas, and video supports clearer timelines if an incident or dispute is reported later. [ See Multi-Family Security ](/industry/multifamily-security-systems/) ###### Access Lifecycle Control ## Management Across Joiners, Role Changes, and Leavers Turnover is manageable when you treat access as a lifecycle. The goal is to issue the right credentials quickly, adjust them as roles change, and remove access when employment ends. By syncing with your HR or identity system as the source of truth, updates no longer require manual catch-up. ![Use Cases mobile](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Use-Cases-mobile-1024x730.webp "Simply Better Security") Provision access ahead of start dates so new hires can enter on day one. Apply role- and location-based rules so people can access only what their jobs require. Update permissions as roles change to reduce permission creep and exceptions. Set temporary project access with start and end times for short-term needs. Offboard quickly to reflect employment status and reduce risk. Identify disgruntled terminated employees' faces Review access and export event history with linked video to document exceptions and corrective actions. ###### Centralized Operations ## Workplace Safety, Access Control, and Video Surveillance Brivo Security Suite supports employee access control for doors and credentials, as well as reporting, across multi-location operations. - Use event-based alerts for propped doors, tailgating, and more to flag issues early. - Add integrated gun detection to support a faster emergency response. - Issue mobile credentials, cards, and fobs so you can match them to the workflow, and revoke access fast when status changes. - Provide contractors and visitors with temporary access with set start and end times. - Sync identities from Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Google Workspace, so directory updates drive physical access permissions in real time. - Link access events to video and export reports, so investigations start with the door event and include visual evidence. [ See centralized operations ](/solutions/security-management-system/) ## Why Brivo for Workforce Turnover Workforce turnover creates avoidable risk when access changes lag behind hiring, role changes, and terminations. By unifying access events, video, and intrusion alarms into a single workflow, teams can instantly validate activity from a single dashboard without cross-referencing multiple tools. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Security and Workforce Turnover [ ### How do employee access control systems support automatic offboarding? ](javascript:void(0)) If your access system can sync with an authoritative directory, HR-driven status changes can flow into physical access policies. When a user is disabled or removed upstream, access can be revoked quickly across doors and locations. That shrinks the window between an HR change and a door-access change, where most offboarding risk shows up. This is helpful when an organizational restructuring involves many individuals or when organizations with high turnover rates require frequent offboarding. [ ### What reports should security teams export for audits and investigations? ](javascript:void(0)) Security teams can export: - Access event history by user, groups, sites, door, and time window. - Employee attendance in certain sites. - Door schedules. - Administrative changes such as credential issuance, revocations, and role or group updates. If the video is tied to door events, include the linked clips or event references for the incident timeline. [ ### How do you provide access for temporary staff across multiple sites? ](javascript:void(0)) Use group-based access tied to roles, locations, and shifts. Then set the start and end dates so access expires automatically. Keep oversight centralized, so changes don’t depend on local handoffs. Review exceptions weekly to ensure temporary access doesn’t linger. [ ### How long should you keep access control logs? ](javascript:void(0)) Keep logs in accordance with internal policy and any regulatory, contractual, or insurance requirements. Many teams use longer retention for higher-risk doors or sites and shorter retention for low-risk areas, as long as it still supports investigations and audit reviews. Retention depends on your subscription tier and any additional retention options you may have purchased: - Standard Edition: 1 year - Professional Edition: 2 years - Enterprise Edition: 3 years You can also purchase additional retention years (up to 7 years total) through your Brivo Reseller. Additionally, administrators with the appropriate permissions can set a custom retention period (for example, a specific number of days) to align with your organization’s policies. The minimum retention period you can set is 4 days. After the retention period expires, logs are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered, so it is recommended to export any data you wish to keep before reducing your retention period. [ ### How do I ensure disgruntled employees do not steal company equipment? ](javascript:void(0)) Start with immediate offboarding so credentials stop working as soon as employment ends. Then, use the video linked to the door activity to review exits around loading areas, storage rooms, and other high-risk doors. Clear records make it easier to confirm what happened and respond quickly. You can also create custom watchlists with Face Match to set up alerts if cameras spot anyone who matches images/video you’ve added to that list. [ ### How do I ensure that a previous employee does not tailgate? ](javascript:void(0)) Use entry controls that reduce propped doors and monitor high-traffic entrances. Video at primary entries helps teams spot tailgating patterns and confirm who entered. [ ### How do I ensure that an authorized employee is entering, and not someone using their credentials? ](javascript:void(0)) Pair door access events with the doorway video to confirm that the person entering matches the credential used. For higher-risk areas, add stronger policies such as second-factor entry where configured. Consistent monitoring and periodic reviews help reinforce accountability. --- ### [Access Management](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/access-control-management/) **Published:** June 22, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Use Case # Automated Access Control Management for Your Facility [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ![Access Management Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Access-Management-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Capabilities ## How Can Access Control Help You? Access control management is foundational to physical security because it controls who can enter and monitors activity at every door. Brivo Security Suite operationalizes access policies to entries, people, identities, and day-to-day operations. Brivo’s pioneering cloud-based access control gives teams a reliable way to manage entry, permissions, and activity across locations without relying on on-site servers. When access is connected with video, intrusion, and visitor workflows in the Brivo Security Suite, teams gain stronger identification, authentication, authorization, and accountability. [ Explore facility solutions ](/solutions/facility-security-teams/) ## Least Privilege Access, Zoning, and Role-Based Access Control Access governance becomes manageable when you base it on a few repeatable principles. In physical environments, “least privilege” often manifests as zoning: define areas by high-value assets, then grant only what a role requires. ##### Least privilege and "need to access" Start with the smallest set of doors a role needs, then add only when there’s a clear reason. ##### Role-based access control (RBAC) Use groups for employees, contractors, and visitors so you don’t have to manage permissions on a person-by-person basis. ##### Time-bound and context-aware permissions Automate the restriction of access to shifts, scheduled work windows, and approved timeframes for projects or events. ##### Segmentation and zoning Separate public, semi-public, restricted, and high-security zones, then map roles via Brivo’s cloud. ##### Continuous monitoring, reporting, and auditing Review exceptions, investigate anomalies, and validate that policies still reflect how people use the space. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ###### Benefits ## Brivo Supports Access Management at Every Stage of the Lifecycle Access management can succeed or fail in the lifecycle: when people join, move, and leave. Brivo helps teams automate the access lifecycle without creating an IT bottleneck. ![access management-mobile](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/access-management-mobile-1024x730.webp "Simply Better Security") **Onboarding and provisioning:** Define roles and groups first, then issue credentials via consistent workflows: cards, fobs, PINs, biometrics, and [mobile management](/products/access-control/credentials/). **Changes and temporary access:** Handle role changes, site moves, vendors, and short-term projects with time-bound permissions that reduce permission creep. **Offboarding and revocation:** Manage Instant, universal revocation when someone leaves or a contract ends, reducing the risk of lingering active credentials and keys. **Monitoring and investigations:** Search door and video activity using event history, reporting, and [Brivo Genius](/resources/blog/brivo-voice-activated-agentic-mobile-emergency-lockdown/) for audits, incident reviews, and oversight. **Incident preparedness:** Classify events by risk — critical, warning, or info — and set up emergency scenarios, such as locking down all doors. ###### Platform ## Operationalizing Access Control Management Manage resident, staff, and visitor access in the Brivo Security Suite, with video context and audit-ready reporting to support faster follow-up across your communities.

[ Explore access control ](/products/access-control/) ## Partner With Brivo for Trusted Automated Access Management Brivo Security Suite is built with security controls and compliance practices designed to protect customer data and support audit readiness. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Access Control Management, Policy, Zero Trust, and More [ ### What's the difference between access control and access control management? ](javascript:void(0)) Access control is a system that grants or denies entry to doors and other entry points, such as gates and elevators, and records events. Access control management is the governance layer that ensures permissions, schedules, and audit-ready reports are consistent across locations without the overhead of manual updates. When access management is integrated with video, intrusion, and visitor workflows, teams gain better decision context, faster incident review, and more efficient day-to-day operations. [ ### How does access control management relate to zero trust? ](javascript:void(0)) Zero trust applies the principle of “verify, then grant only what’s needed.” In physical spaces, that usually means zoning by risk, enforcing least privilege through role-based groups, using time-bound access, and reviewing exceptions, often tied to your identity provider (IdP) such as Okta, Google Workspace, or Microsoft Entra ID. Access control management also supports zero-trust principles by tying physical access updates to identity changes. This way, onboarding and offboarding don’t rely on manual catch-up. [ ### Do I need to replace my existing door hardware to improve access control management? ](javascript:void(0)) Not always. Many organizations improve the management layer first — policies, credential workflows, and reporting — then phase in hardware updates as needed. A compatibility assessment can confirm what to keep in place and what to upgrade over time. This can even include control panels and readers. [ ### How can I centralize access control across multiple locations? ](javascript:void(0)) Centralization starts with a single policy model and a single administrative view. A cloud approach helps you standardize roles and zones across locations, then roll up reporting by door, location, and user group. Cloud architecture is flexible to easily scale across many locations. Integrations can also keep access aligned with identity and HR-driven changes, so permissions stay current without duplicate updates. --- ### [Information Technology](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/information-technology-teams/) **Published:** June 12, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Information Technology # Unified Security Solutions for IT Teams [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ###### Trusted By ![prada](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/prada-768x200.webp) ![hotworx](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/hotworx-768x445.webp) ![whole foods](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/whole-foods-768x557.webp) ![google](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/google-768x292.webp) ![dollar tree](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DollarTree.webp) ![levis](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/levis-768x422.webp) ![YSL](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/YSL-768x578.webp) ![greystar](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/greystar.webp) ![9round](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/9RoundLogo-768x403.webp) ![IT Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IT-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Consolidated Physical Security ## Simplify IT and Operations With a Unified Approach The partnership between IT and physical security is critical for facility security and risk reduction. A high volume of disconnected and unknown security applications creates cyber risks for IT teams. This can negatively impact the network and create visibility gaps in the system. For security managers, platform sprawl doesn’t just increase total cost of ownership, it weakens the ability to maintain a good security posture. Siloed access logs, video feeds, and identity management systems prevent timely investigations due to the manual process of reconciling data and notifying teams. Friction limits an organization’s ability to respond to threats in real time, especially for businesses with a global footprint. ### Unified Access Control and Video Intelligence Transitioning to a unified, cloud-based architecture that adheres to key cybersecurity standards minimizes risk for IT teams. Meanwhile, an open and AI-friendly API makes integrations easy to build and manage. By unifying these core functions, organizations can enforce consistent policies across all locations, reducing administrative burden while ensuring security operations are as agile as the rest of the business [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ### Complete Visibility and Control for Your Security Operations Brivo empowers teams to streamline their day-to-day operations.

Use this checklist to determine if a solution can handle the complexities of your current IT infrastructure and long-term security strategy. 1. **Centralized governance:** Can you manage global policies, compliance standards, and user permissions across all locations from a single pane of glass? And offer local control only? 2. **Existing hardware compatibility:** Can it integrate with your current Mercury-based controllers or legacy wiring to avoid a costly rip-and-replace? 3. **Automated role-based access (RBAC):** Does it sync directly with your IDP (Okta, Azure AD) to automate the user lifecycle based on job function? 4. **Real-time event visibility and reporting :** Are security events logged instantly across the network to provide immediate situational awareness? Are access and video correlated to increase context and verify? Can you generate detailed, cross-site reports to satisfy internal audits and regulatory requirements? 5. **Cybersecurity and Infrastructure impact:** What security standards does it adhere to ? How are firmware updates managed? What is the track record for cyber attacks? What are the bandwidth requirements? Can we isolate these devices (VLAN)? 6. **Storage & data privacy**: What are the storage and retention options? What are the data privacy provisions?

By unifying video, access, and alert data, the teams gain critical context, verify the incident, and respond faster. AI-enabled cameras identify risky situations after hours triggering an immediate alert and audio deterrence. Context may be easily shared with first responders. Automated protocol is taken; for example, if a smoke alarm goes off, and egress doors are unlocked for evacuation. [ ### What should buyers ask when comparing physical security solutions? ](javascript:void(0)) 1. Multi-site and scalability: Can I remotely manage multiple sites across the globe from a single view? How quickly can I spin up a new site? 2. Compatibility: Can I use my existing cameras and hardware? 3. Integrations: What are the integrations you have? Can you integrate my identity or property management system? 4. Efficient credential management: Can I quickly provision or deprovision a large group of users across many sites? 5. Active visibility and alerts: Can I be immediately alerted when a gun is detected, or a person is loitering after hours? 6. Intuitive customized dashboard: Can I design my dashboard for the metrics I need each day? 7. Incident management: Can I create and manage incidents in the same solution, or do I require an add-on? --- ### [Facilities](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/facility-security-teams/) **Published:** June 17, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Facility Security Teams # Unified Facility Security Systems [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ###### Trusted By ![prada](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/prada-768x200.webp) ![hotworx](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/hotworx-768x445.webp) ![whole foods](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/whole-foods-768x557.webp) ![google](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/google-768x292.webp) ![dollar tree](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DollarTree.webp) ![levis](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/levis-768x422.webp) ![YSL](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/YSL-768x578.webp) ![greystar](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/greystar.webp) ![9round](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/9RoundLogo-768x403.webp) ![Facilities Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Facilities-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Centralized Operations ## From Perimeter to Restricted Zones Facility security requires a holistic approach from the perimeter to interior spaces.

For investigations, a centralized system can shorten the time required to pull entry history and, where deployed, to review access events alongside video for clearer context. Cloud reporting can also make audits more repeatable across buildings and teams. [ ### How do I adapt facility security for multiple locations? ](javascript:void(0)) Multi-location security works best when you standardize policies first, then apply them across locations with local flexibility for exceptions. Define common role groups, zones, and schedules. Then use a centralized platform to manage credentials and reporting across every building. Set time-bound access for vendors and contractors, and use consistent incident and audit workflows. This way, teams can respond consistently regardless of location. As you grow, add locations in phases and refine your policy model based on the reporting. --- ### [Loss Prevention Solutions](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/retail-loss-prevention-teams/) **Published:** June 4, 2026 **Author:** Norma Velasco **Content:** ###### Loss Prevention Teams # Retail Loss Prevention and Multi-Site Operations [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ###### Trusted By ![prada](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/prada-768x200.webp) ![hotworx](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/hotworx-768x445.webp) ![whole foods](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/whole-foods-768x557.webp) ![google](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/google-768x292.webp) ![dollar tree](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DollarTree.webp) ![levis](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/levis-768x422.webp) ![YSL](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/YSL-768x578.webp) ![greystar](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/greystar.webp) ![9round](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/9RoundLogo-768x403.webp) ![Loss Prevention Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Loss-Prevention-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Reduce Shrinkage ## The Loss Prevention and Shrinkage Challenges of Today Loss prevention and shrinkage are rarely one-off incidents. Organized crews, insider risk, and gaps between point-of-sale (POS), doors, and cameras can quietly erode margins across locations. Brivo Security Suite brings access control, video, and intrusion detection into a single view so teams can spot issues faster and investigate with more context. Plus, AI-assisted search via Brivo Genius can provide you with fast, context-aware support. ### Access Management and Video Surveillance Connect the access and alarm event to the video clip, and the question shifts from “what happened?” to “what action should I take next?” Brivo links door activity and timestamps to video in a single view. This helps loss prevention teams quickly identify the cause of the incident and act from a single platform. Review time can drop from hours to minutes, with every decision logged for audit.

See how this approach elevates retail loss prevention and operations. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Loss Prevention Security More questions? [ See Access FAQs ](/resources/faq/) [ ### How can integrated access and video help reduce shrinkage? ](javascript:void(0)) When your access control, video, and intrusion events are integrated, loss prevention teams can reduce review time from hours to minutes. You see which credential was used, what the camera shows at that door, and whether an intrusion event was triggered, all from the same console. [Video data linked to point-of-sale transactions](/products/point-of-sale-integration/) can also make it easier to spot and investigate potential fraud. The combined record improves response times, preserves evidence, and helps you spot patterns before they repeat. With Brivo's 24/7 remote monitoring services, high-priority intrusion and access events can also be reviewed. Potential incidents are investigated and escalated even when your team is off the clock. [ ### Where does unified security deliver the highest impact in loss prevention? ](javascript:void(0)) High-impact scenarios: - After-hours door opens - Forced-open alarms - Receiving doors during deliveries - Match suspected fraudulent transactions to video - Back-of-house access during inventory - Gain insights into staff efficiency - Identify security issues in real time, i.e., gun detection - POS exceptions tied to entry logs - Understand customer behavior better — including where customers cluster, and what areas of your store they usually miss. - Reduce false alarms Brivo uses roles and schedules to restrict access by time and location, allowing you to verify activity with paired video. Additionally, we offer incident management and 24/7 monitoring. [ ### Can analytics tools integrate with Brivo to detect suspicious activity? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. Brivo Security Suite can surface trends and support rules-based alerts from access and video activity, and you can also connect third-party analytics through open APIs and integrations for deeper pattern detection. This can help flag repeat after-hours entries, tailgating at key doors, or POS activity that lines up with door events. Alerts can route to the right people and link back to door activity and video for quick review. [ ### How should businesses roll out loss prevention systems across multiple locations? ](javascript:void(0)) Start with a pilot store, document standards for readers, cameras, and alerts. Then, roll out in waves using policies for doors, roles, and schedules. Train loss-prevention and store teams, set clear owners, and use reports to measure response times and exceptions. By doing this, you can adjust policies as you add sites. [ ### What reporting options exist for tracking incidents and resolution times? ](javascript:void(0)) Incidents combine the access event, video clip, timestamps, notes, and admin actions into a single record you can review or export. Roll-up dashboards show counts by site, response times, repeat exceptions, and closure rates. Share reports with leadership and auditors to show progress and guide next steps. --- ### [Architecture & Design](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/architect-engineering-teams/) **Published:** June 17, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Architecture, Engineering, & Construction # Security Solutions that Preserve Design Intent [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ###### Trusted By ![prada](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/prada-768x200.webp) ![hotworx](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/hotworx-768x445.webp) ![whole foods](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/whole-foods-768x557.webp) ![google](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/google-768x292.webp) ![dollar tree](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DollarTree.webp) ![levis](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/levis-768x422.webp) ![YSL](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/YSL-768x578.webp) ![greystar](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/greystar.webp) ![9round](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/9RoundLogo-768x403.webp) ![Architecture Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Architecture-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Unified Physical Security ## The Major Security Challenges Design Teams Face In security system design, the biggest challenges for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) teams often come from late-stage changes. **Aesthetic disruption and retrofit risk.** Security system design works best when it’s treated as part of architectural integration, not an add-on after elevations are finalized. Late-stage placement of readers, locks, and devices can require exposed-conduit and “make it work” changes that disrupt sightlines, finishes, and door detailing. **Complexity across stakeholders**. Owners, IT, security, integrators, tenants, and facilities teams all influence requirements, but they rarely enter the project with cohesive priorities or clear decisions. The earlier you plan for security, the easier it is to protect design intent, especially during the design development (DD) phase. ### A Modern, Flexible Platform for Design-Led Security Brivo combines architectural integrity with enterprise protection. Using discreet hardware and customizable finishes, it secures space without drawing attention to devices or requiring invasive wiring updates later. Behind the scenes, its SaaS-based platform consolidates access control, video surveillance, visitor management, intrusion detection into a single view. This cloud-based design allows organizations to scale storage and coverage over time, eliminating the need for expensive rip-and-replace.

We provide the technical details and placement guidance needed to align Division 08 and 28 specifications early in the design process, ensuring security requirements are met without compromising architectural aesthetics. Teams can coordinate intent using CAD files, BIM/Revit families, and Bluebeam markups, reducing field improvisation and rework. ##### Hardware choice that matches the space Brivo works with leading hardware providers so designers can specify the right model, finish, and form factor to preserve their design vision while not compromising security. [Brivo Smart Readers](/products/access-control/readers/) and the Brivo Door Station support a sleek, consolidated approach at key entry points. This helps reduce visual clutter while meeting functional needs. ##### Clear stakeholder handoffs from design to operations By grounding access system control design decisions in a single operating layer, owners, IT, integrators, and facilities teams can align on roles, schedules, and responsibilities earlier. Brivo supports this by keeping policies, permissions, and audit trails centralized on a single cloud platform from day one. That reduces scope drift and helps avoid inconsistent outcomes. ##### Better occupant and visitor experience Support mobile-first entry without forcing it as the only option, with [mobile access credentials](/products/access-control/credentials/) that can live alongside cards and fobs. Digital wallet credentials can reduce friction at the door while maintaining consistent policies across user groups. ##### Repeatable standards for multi-location programs For security portfolio teams, Brivo helps standardize policies, device categories, and documentation, so each new project starts with a proven baseline.

See how this approach elevates retail loss prevention and operations. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Security for Architects and Design Teams More questions? [ See Access FAQs ](/resources/faq/) [ ### How can security system design be integrated into a building without disrupting aesthetics? ](javascript:void(0)) Start security system design early enough to coordinate devices, pathways, and mounting conditions with finishes, door schedules, and Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP). When security is treated as “patched in” after key design decisions, teams often end up spending time and money fixing issues post-build, including aesthetic conflicts. Brivo’s AEC security approach is designed to align design intent and security requirements earlier, so integrators and owners are not forced into last-minute hardware compromises. [ ### What should architects consider when planning physical security at entrances, lobbies, and secure zones? ](javascript:void(0)) Start with a layered security plan that aligns with CPTED principles: define the perimeter, public areas, tenant or employee spaces, and restricted zones, then design clear transitions between them. Map credential presentation points to natural traffic flow to reduce bottlenecks and tailgating. Coordinate Division 08 door hardware with Division 28 device locations, power, and conduit early, and plan camera sightlines and fields of view so key doors and approaches are well covered and well lit. Avoid isolated employee entrances that invite tailgating or limit effective video monitoring. For lobbies, visitor workflows, and check-in requirements, plan up front, including kiosk placement and delivery routing where needed. [ ### Why are cloud security platforms often a better fit than on-premises systems for modern building security system design? ](javascript:void(0)) Cloud models are built around broad network access and on-demand scaling. This ability to scale can make it easier to support changing tenant needs, phased construction, and multi-location rollouts without adding more on-site servers each time. NIST summarizes the benefits of cloud computing and the trade-offs organizations should consider when weighing opportunities and risks. These benefits include: - Cost savings (capex to opex) - Scalability - Increase agility - Quick deployment - Reduce IT - Ease to embrace new tech, i.e., AI, etc - Stronger cybersecurity and disaster recovery From a building-planning standpoint, cloud-based physical security can also reduce the local infrastructure burden and support centralized administration across locations. --- ### [Brivo Accessibility Conformance Report](https://www.brivo.com/product-accessibility-reports/) **Published:** July 2, 2026 **Author:** Chris Kendall **Content:** # Brivo Accessibility Conformance Report WCAG Edition (Based on VPAT® Version 2.4Rev) [ Brivo Access ](javascript:void(0))#### **Name of Product/Version:** Brivo Access #### **Report Date:** Jul 1, 2022 #### **Product Description:** Access control management #### **Contact Information:** #### **Notes:** #### **Evaluation Methods Used:** Keyboard, Chrome Inspect, Lighthouse, Wave, Axe Devtools #### **Applicable Standards/Guidelines** This report covers the degree of conformance for the following accessibility standard/guidelines: #### **Standard/Guideline** #### **Included In Report** [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0](http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211)Level A (Yes) Level AA (Yes) Level AAA (No ) [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21)Level A (Yes) Level AA (Yes) Level AAA (No ) #### **Terms** The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows: - **Supports**: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation. - **Partially Supports**: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion. - **Does Not Support**: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion. - **Not Applicable**: The criterion is not relevant to the product. - **Not Evaluated**: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion.

It’s a challenge to maintain visibility and control across docks, gates, yards, and restricted areas where inventory, vehicles, and people are in constant motion. As operations span multiple shifts, the number of contractors, drivers, and access points grows, making it harder to manage who’s on-site. Brivo Security Suite brings access control, video surveillance, visitor management, and intrusion detection into a single view, improving warehouse efficiency.

With centralized visibility, real-time activity tracking, and integrations, Brivo adapts as your operations evolve. ##### Video surveillance for continuous visibility [Brivo Eagle Eye Video](/platform/video-management-system/) provides teams with live and recorded views across facilities, along with [Eeva](/products/video-analytics/eeva/) and AI-powered alerts, analytics, and automations. ##### Alerts and audit trails for faster response Warehouse [alarm systems](/products/intrusion-alarm-systems/) are most effective when everything is visible in one platform. Teams can verify events faster, reduce false alarms, and keep a clear record of what happened. ##### Monitoring dock activity and yard movement [24/7 alarm monitoring](/products/commercial-alarm-monitoring/) provides oversight of any desired location, with live video and event access. Easily verify whether an alarm is false or serious, document the incident, and respond appropriately. ###### Centralized Operations ## Keep Freight Moving Without Compromising Control ![warehousing](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/warehousing-1024x638.webp "Simply Better Security") Warehouse security should help expedite operations, not slow them down. With cloud management, supervisors can quickly review activity, make decisions, update permissions, and confirm what happened remotely. Teams can grant temporary access to drivers and vendors, restrict access to sensitive areas, and review incidents using video and event history, [centralized in one place](/solutions/security-management-system/). The result is less administrative follow-up and better coordination. ###### Integrations ## Centralize Oversight Across Your Entire Logistics Network Disconnected systems create blind spots, slow response times, and add more workload. Brivo Security Suite centralizes everything. Brivo’s cloud-based warehouse security improves access control without forcing a full rebuild. Our open API platform and integrations reinforce that open, connected approach. [ ### Network-wide visibility ](javascript:void(0)) View access activity, door status, and incident context across all locations. [ ### Consistent workflows ](javascript:void(0)) Apply the same security workflows across warehouses, yards, and offices. [ ### Remote administration ](javascript:void(0)) Update schedules and permissions remotely as shifts and users change. [ ### Phased modernization ](javascript:void(0)) Bring existing hardware into a broader system instead of starting over. [ ### Lower administrative burden ](javascript:void(0)) Reduce manual work while improving logistics oversight. ###### Platform ## A Modern Warehouse Security Evaluation Framework When comparing platforms, look for a system built for daily warehouse operations: clear visibility, fast verification, and consistent control across the network. ##### Multi-location visibility Manage warehouse activity from one dashboard across facilities. ##### High-risk area coverage Cover loading docks, yards, entry points, and low-visibility areas. ![first](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/first.webp "Simply Better Security") ![role based access](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Group-1707483778.webp "Simply Better Security") ##### Role-based access Enable clear permissions and set various schedules for workers, vendors, and drivers. ##### Real-time event review Tie alerts to access events, then search and review activity in warehouse video surveillance software. ##### Audit-ready records Keep your event history stored and available for fast review and easy follow-up. ![third](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/third.webp "Simply Better Security") ##### Operational analytics Use analytics to monitor safety, traffic flow, and exceptions across the warehouse. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ## Trusted Control for Modern Supply Chains Brivo lets warehouse and distribution teams move beyond single-location and the complexity of on-premises systems, with a smarter, more unified approach to security and access. By centralizing access, video intelligence, visitor management, and intrusion detection in a single cloud-native platform, Brivo helps teams improve control, standardize oversight, and support growth across the network. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Warehouse Security [ ### How do warehouse security systems help prevent theft? ](javascript:void(0)) A unified security platform like Brivo Security Suite can help by combining access control, video verification, alerts, and audit trails into a single workflow. That makes warehouse theft prevention more actionable because teams can confirm who entered a space, review the associated footage, and respond quickly when something looks off. Centralized oversight is a great way to protect inventory, productivity, and security simultaneously. [ ### What should warehouse video surveillance cover? ](javascript:void(0)) A good security program should cover doors, docks, yards, cages, restricted inventory areas, and other low-visibility spaces. Warehouse security cameras are most useful when they provide context for access events and help operators review what happened without having to search across multiple tools. [ ### Can warehouse security systems work across multiple facilities? ](javascript:void(0)) Many platforms claim to support [multi-location operation](/solutions/multi-location-security-management/), but most still rely on fragmented systems, limited visibility, or site-by-site management.

[ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Questions Local Government Teams Ask About Building Security [ ### What should local government security solutions include? ](javascript:void(0)) They should include access control, video surveillance, alerts, reporting, and visitor oversight within a single operating model. That gives teams a clearer way to manage public areas, staff-only spaces, and investigations without having to jump between disconnected systems. [ ### How do government security systems support compliance? ](javascript:void(0)) They support compliance by creating stronger records around access events, alarms, video review, and visitor activity. Those records make evidence management and reporting more practical when a team needs to review an incident or demonstrate that controls were applied consistently. [ ### Can government building security systems work with existing hardware? ](javascript:void(0)) Often, yes. Many agencies modernize in phases by keeping compatible hardware in place and updating the management layer first. Brivo supports open integrations and works with a range of existing hardware, helping to reduce disruption, preserve prior investments, and enable teams to improve security over time rather than replacing every device at once. [ ### How do I choose the right government building security system? ](javascript:void(0)) Start with operational fit. Look for a platform that supports centralized oversight, clear workflows, flexible integration, high cybersecurity standards, and room to scale across departments and buildings. A good system should help teams move faster, not give them more systems to manage. [ ### What is NDAA compliant? Is it required for the security of government facilities? ](javascript:void(0)) In this context, NDAA compliance usually refers to Section 889 rules that restrict federal procurement of certain covered telecommunications and video surveillance equipment or services from specified vendors. It is clearly required in federal procurement and may also appear in state, local, grant-funded, or contract-driven requirements, depending on the project. --- ### [Schools](https://www.brivo.com/industry/school-security-systems/) **Published:** June 16, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Industry Solutions # School Security Systems for Everyday Safety Student safety requires systems that support both daily routines and emergency prep.

Manage door schedules, role-based permissions, and event history across campuses from one cloud platform. Secure main entrances, classrooms, interior corridors, and sensitive spaces, including labs, libraries, storage rooms, and data closets. With access, [intrusion](/products/intrusion-alarm-systems/), and [video surveillance](/platform/video-management-system/) in the same workflow, teams can verify door activity quickly without chasing footage across separate tools With Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), schools can provision time-limited access for substitute teachers and approved vendors, while limiting parent visits and scheduled appointments to authorized areas. ###### Platform ## Lockdown, Lockout, and Communication Schools need clear procedures for urgent events. Brivo supports district-defined workflows aligned with PASS guidance, with different automated responses for lockout (secure the perimeter) versus lockdown (secure the whole building). [ Understanding lockdown vs. lockout ](javascript:void(0)) A [lockdown](/solutions/emergency-lockdown-systems/) typically focuses on securing interior spaces to protect people inside the building. A lockout typically focuses on ensuring the perimeter to keep threats outside. The proper response depends on the situation and district policies. [ How Brivo supports faster responses ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo can help schools coordinate door actions by zone or building through centralized controls, supported by door [control panels](/products/access-control/panels/) at each location. Use Emergency Scenarios with one-click activation. When video and access are connected, teams can confirm activity more quickly and share clearer information with responders when needed. [ AI-powered gun detection and rapid lockdown response ](javascript:void(0)) [AI-powered Gun Detection](/products/video-analytics/ai-gun-detection/) can proactively identify a brandished gun and trigger lockdown workflows before a shot is fired. Triple-Layer Verification (two AI models plus human review) quickly confirms the presence of a visible firearm in a person’s hand and sends verified alerts. Those alerts can trigger an Emergency Scenario that locks doors and immediately notifies the appropriate responders. Additionally, [911 Camera Sharing](/products/video-analytics/911-camera-sharing/) can help ensure first responders have additional context when responding to an emergency call. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ###### Use Cases ## The Challenge of Education Security Management Teams at educational institutions are balancing safety expectations, aging infrastructure, and limited time.

The system also monitors student traffic to spot unsafe hallway congestion, helping districts build a scalable security plan. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About School Security Systems [ ### What is a layered school security system? ](javascript:void(0)) A layered school security system puts students and staff at the center, then adds protections in rings around them: classrooms and interior zones, the building perimeter, and the property perimeter. This aligns with the Partner Alliance for Safer Schools (PASS) 5-Layer Model, which is a common framework for school safety planning. In practice, that means controlling who can enter, guiding visitors on a defined path, and using door activity plus cameras to verify what’s happening when something looks off. [ ### How do school security systems protect students and staff day-to-day? ](javascript:void(0)) Day-to-day, school security systems help districts keep exterior doors secured and manage arrival and dismissal schedules. With video-verified access, teams can confirm who entered and why by linking door activity to corresponding footage, while restricting access to sensitive areas such as offices, labs, and storage. Visitor workflows add another layer by helping staff know who is on site and why. School security camera systems provide visual context at entrances and key corridors. AI-powered video can also send notifications when a hotlisted car is spotted, or a gun is brandished on campus, so the situation can be handled before it escalates. 911 Camera Sharing can ensure authorities have instant access to pre-designated video feeds when a nearby 911 call is made. [ ### How do we manage access for substitutes and volunteers? ](javascript:void(0)) For substitutes and volunteers, the safest approach is time-bound access tied to role and schedule. With the Brivo Security Suite, you can issue temporary credentials and limit them to specific doors and time windows. You can also issue self-expiring mobile credentials directly to a substitute’s smartphone. Access can be restricted to their assigned classroom and shift and automatically revoked when the assignment ends, with no physical handoffs required. Visitor management can also support check-in and tracking for short-term guests. [ ### How does a cloud-based security system support multiple campuses in education? ](javascript:void(0)) Cloud-based unified security helps school teams manage doors, schedules, and credentials [across multiple campuses](/solutions/multi-location-security-management/) from a single location, rather than maintaining separate systems for each building. By combining access, video, intrusion, and visitor data, a more complete view of who and what is happening at the school emerges. That makes school security solutions easier to standardize while still supporting site-level differences such as after-hours use, events, and community access. [ ### Can school security systems proactively detect threats? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. When integrated with AI-powered Gun Detection in Brivo Security Suite, cameras can identify a visible, brandished firearm and send verified alerts using Triple-Layer Verification (two AI checks plus human review). Those alerts can prompt immediate action, including triggering a Brivo Emergency Scenario via the web or mobile app to help teams respond faster. --- ### [Higher Education](https://www.brivo.com/industry/campus-security-solutions/) **Published:** June 16, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Industry Solutions # Campus Security Solutions for Safer Higher Education Campus security solutions need to fit the way a university actually works.

To learn more, [see how Brivo and Parkable’s partnership improved Ledger’s parking experience](https://resources.brivo.com/category/partner-hub/why-partner-with-brivo/). [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Parking and EV Charging [ ### What is a Brivo License Plate Credential (LPC)? ](javascript:void(0)) 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)? ](javascript:void(0)) 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? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo License Plate Credentials can be deployed with [Brivo Eagle Eye Pro Cameras](/products/video-surveillance/security-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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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? ](javascript:void(0)) 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. --- ### [Coworking & Shared Spaces](https://www.brivo.com/industry/coworking-space-security/) **Published:** June 11, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Industry Solutions # Coworking Management for Shared and Flex Workspaces Unify access control, visitor check‑in, video, and occupancy management to secure coworking and shared spaces without adding front‑desk load with Brivo Security Suite.

[ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Coworking, Shared-Space, and Occupancy Management [ ### How does Brivo simplify visitor access for coworking and shared spaces? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo makes lobby management efficient and touchless for both staff and tenants. - Issue limited-time digital credentials before visitors arrive. - Direct guests to your space with customized emails containing secure QR codes. - Eliminate manual data entry and reduce wait times at the front desk. - Record all entry events automatically to ensure continuous compliance and visibility. [ ### How is real-time occupancy calculated in Brivo Security Suite? ](javascript:void(0)) Real-time occupancy in Brivo Security Suite is calculated by continuously counting access events and validating them against credential status and zone assignments to show the exact number of people in each space. The result is occupancy management with live totals, thresholds, and alerts that support workplace and safety policies across sites. [ ### Can occupancy data be exported or scheduled as reports? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. Brivo data can be exported to an analytics platform. You can schedule email reports, export CSVs, and gather data by site or zone for leadership reports and compliance reviews. [ ### How does people counting work based on access events? ](javascript:void(0)) Each entry at a connected door is tied to a specific credential, ensuring every access event is tracked and counted. In open lobbies or where doors do not connect, occupancy data can be less accurate due to tailgating or open lobbies. Teams can add camera analytics or ceiling sensors to address unbadged flow and align exit counts. Combining both sources gives the best signal for policy and planning. [ ### Are third-party sensors or cameras required for advanced occupancy analytics? ](javascript:void(0)) While not required, they are recommended. Brivo Security Suite integrates with people-counting analytics and sensors to ensure accurate occupancy measurement in lobbies, corridors, and other shared common areas. --- ### [Commercial Real Estate](https://www.brivo.com/industry/commercial-building-security-systems/) **Published:** June 1, 2026 **Author:** Norma Velasco **Excerpt:** Upgrade commercial property protection with Brivo’s widely adopted building security systems—modern, cloud-native solutions for safer workplaces. **Content:** ###### Industry Solutions # Modern Commercial Building Security Systems Built in the Cloud Brivo modernizes office and commercial properties with a cloud-native platform that enables remote management, mobile credentials, and more efficient building operations.

[ ### Is a multifamily security system secure and compliant for large portfolios? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo has a strong [security and compliance](https://explore.brivo.com/about/security-and-compliance/) posture, including certifications such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022. These help protect customer data and support audit needs. [ ### How long does it take to deploy Brivo at a multifamily property? ](javascript:void(0)) Deployment timelines depend on property size, infrastructure, and scope (perimeter only versus amenities and unit doors).

HOTWORX, a 24/7, virtually instructed fitness franchise, uses Brivo to enable staffless access at scale by pairing access events with video and syncing access rights with member enrollment. HOTWORX manages 800+ unstaffed studios and 250,000 members with Brivo. Learn more about how [HOTWORX built a safer place to work out with Brivo](https://resources.brivo.com/hotworx-customer-story/). If you’re ready, connect with a Brivo expert to map the right access model for your gym or studio. ###### Platform ## How Gym Access Control Systems Work With Membership Status Your membership platform is typically the system of record for member status (active, frozen, or canceled) and staff roles. Brivo connects to this data to enforce the appropriate access at the door while providing visibility into member usage trends. [ Real-time updates ](javascript:void(0)) Adjust permissions in or near real time so access when a member’s status changes to always reflect current eligibility. [ Reduced onboarding effort ](javascript:void(0)) Link access to the member’s primary profile record, eliminating duplicate data entry and streamlining administration. [ Scalable management ](javascript:void(0)) Support thousands of memberships and guest passes while maintaining consistent, automated enforcement. [ Actionable insights ](javascript:void(0)) Door event data and reporting show usage patterns and occupancy trends to inform staffing decisions and operating hours. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ###### Flexible and Adaptable ## Studios, Gyms, and Multi-Location Brands Fitness businesses run different operating models. Brivo supports each with flexible rules, clear oversight, and the option to add video and intrusion workflows as needed. ##### Boutique studios Boutique studios often need class-based access and tighter hour controls. Brivo aligns door access with classes, ensuring students can only enter during their sessions while maintaining separate schedules for staff and cleaning crews. Outside class hours, doors can remain secured with clear logs of activity. ##### Gyms For 24/7 gym access control systems, consistency matters most when staff are offsite. Brivo supports round-the-clock member entry with defined rules, clear entry logs, and optional video at entrances to provide additional context during an incident. ![top](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/top-1.webp "Simply Better Security") ![middle](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/middle-2-rqdi3azgyk03km745yhot7catsc9j7zfwn50l7vkbk.webp "middle") ##### Multi-location fitness brands Multi-location operators need one view of policies, doors, and users across the network. Brivo supports [centralized management](/solutions/security-management-system/), so you can standardize rules across locations and handle member and employee changes faster. Also monitor exceptions without switching between systems and computer screens. ##### Role-based alerts Maintain clear audit trails to review disputes, investigate incidents, and document incidents. ![Alerts](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Group-1707483778-1.webp "Simply Better Security") ##### Insights and security Security teams can maintain a clear record of actions, access, and site-level trends to plan staffing and rounds, conduct policy reviews, and ensure compliance ## Reduce Risk And Lower Cost With Modern Gym Access Control Modern gym security access control goes beyond the door. When access control connects with your membership system and video, you can spot unauthorized entry and improve situational awareness. - **Identify tailgaters.** Make sure no one enters without scanning in using AI video analytics and follow up to recoup lost membership dues, turning security into revenue protection. - **Optimize staff scheduling.** Reduce staffing hours by eliminating manual check-ins and automating credential changes. - - **Improve the customer experience.** Support a better member experience with fast, reliable entry and fewer access issues. - **Stay vigilant 24/7.** Lower after-hours risk by pairing access activity with video and intrusion workflows. - **Keep secure records available.** Maintain clear audit trails to review disputes, investigate incidents, and document incidents. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Gym Access Control Systems [ ### How do gym access control security systems work with my existing membership software? ](javascript:void(0)) Your membership platform stays the system of record for who should have access. Brivo provides unified intelligence that integrates with its partner ecosystem, so membership updates can automatically sync access rights at the door, reducing manual data entry. Membership activity can be verified visually through video surveillance. In the HOTWORX example above, Brivo built an integration that syncs access rights with member enrollment and provisions credentials as soon as someone signs up. [ ### How do I handle guest passes and trial members? ](javascript:void(0)) Treat guests and trials like any other temporary user group: issue a mobile credential or PIN tied to a time window and the doors they can access. Then, automatically cancel it. Brivo supports scheduling access by user group and sending mobile credentials via invitation. This helps you control guest access without handing out keys or shared fobs. [ ### What happens to access when a member’s payment fails? ](javascript:void(0)) This depends on how your membership system flags the account. If a member is moved to an inactive state — for example, past due, frozen, or canceled — Brivo can automatically revoke access across locations immediately, helping prevent revenue leakage. Once the account is reactivated, access can be restored just as quickly, giving members a clear incentive to settle their balance to regain access. [ ### Is a cloud-based access system secure enough for 24/7 gyms? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. A cloud-based access system is the ideal fit for 24/7 gyms, as it is designed to protect access and identity data and is independently validated. Brivo Security Suite is built as a cloud-first platform, enabling you to manage/monitor activity across all your locations from anywhere. This helps you reduce reliance on on-site servers that may be inconsistently maintained or patched across locations. For day-to-day operations, cloud access also improves safety by enabling remote user and door management, maintaining clear entry logs, and pairing door activity with video for faster incident review when staff are not on-site. Brivo’s security controls are audited against standards such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, helping protect user data and support consistent security practices.

So kann Ihr Team sofort auf Sicherheitsvorfälle reagieren, den täglichen Betrieb optimieren und den Verwaltungsaufwand reduzieren.

Dank dieser zugangsbezogenen Indizierung können Sie jeden Sicherheitsvorfall innerhalb von Sekunden visuell überprüfen, ohne Zeit damit zu verschwenden, Zeitstempel manuell über verschiedene Softwareprogramme hinweg abzugleichen. [ #### Sind die cloudbasierten Zutrittskontrollsysteme von Brivo für den Einsatz in Unternehmen sicher? ](javascript:void(0)) Ja, Brivo betreibt die weltweit größte und zuverlässigste einheitliche Sicherheitsplattform, die speziell darauf ausgelegt ist, strenge Unternehmensstandards zu erfüllen.

[ #### Kann ich über die Brivo Security Suite mehrere Standorte weltweit verwalten? ](javascript:void(0)) Auf jeden Fall.

[ Laten we eens praten ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) [ #### Wat is geïntegreerde fysieke beveiliging en welke voordelen biedt dit voor mijn bedrijf? ](javascript:void(0)) Geïntegreerde fysieke beveiliging brengt toegangscontrole, videobewaking, bezoekersbeheer en inbraakdetectie samen in één cloud-native platform. In plaats van meerdere versnipperde systemen te beheren, beschikt u over één database en één login om uw volledige bedrijfsvoetafdruk te overzien. Deze geïntegreerde aanpak biedt voordelen voor uw bedrijf doordat passieve registratie wordt vervangen door proactieve, AI-gestuurde automatisering, waardoor uw team direct kan reageren op beveiligingsincidenten, de dagelijkse bedrijfsvoering kan optimaliseren en de administratieve lasten kan verminderen. [ #### Hoe integreert Brivo toegangscontrole en videobewaking? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo koppelt gebeurtenissen op het gebied van toegangscontrole naadloos aan realtime videobewaking binnen één enkel dashboard. Omdat onze clouddatabase volledig geïntegreerd is, indexeert het platform automatisch de bijbehorende videoclip wanneer een medewerker een mobiele toegangskaart scant of wanneer een deur open wordt gehouden. Dankzij deze aan toegang gekoppelde indexering kunt u elk beveiligingsincident binnen enkele seconden visueel verifiëren, zonder tijd te verspillen aan het handmatig vergelijken van tijdstempels in verschillende softwareprogramma’s. [ #### Zijn de cloudgebaseerde toegangscontrolesystemen van Brivo veilig voor gebruik binnen grote ondernemingen? ](javascript:void(0)) Ja, Brivo beheert het grootste en meest betrouwbare geïntegreerde beveiligingsplatform ter wereld, dat speciaal is ontworpen om aan strenge bedrijfsnormen te voldoen. Onze speciale, cloud-native SaaS-architectuur is opgebouwd en wordt beheerd met meerdere redundantie-lagen, verspreid over wereldwijd verspreide datacenters. Elke verbinding is voorzien van end-to-end-versleuteling, meervoudige authenticatie en veilige single sign-on (SSO), waardoor u profiteert van de robuuste cyberbeveiliging van een Fortune 500-bedrijf in combinatie met het gebruiksgemak van een cloudapplicatie. [ #### Kan ik via de Brivo Security Suite meerdere vestigingen wereldwijd beheren? ](javascript:void(0)) Absoluut. De Brivo Security Suite is zo ontworpen dat deze schaalbaar is, van één enkele deur tot wereldwijde ondernemingen met meerdere vestigingen. Omdat ons platform cloud-native is, kunt u toegangsrechten beheren, schema’s aanpassen en live videobeelden van duizenden internationale locaties in de gaten houden. Bevoegde beheerders kunnen veilig inloggen vanaf elke desktop of elk mobiel apparaat om systeembrede beleidsregels in realtime aan te passen, ongeacht waar uw kantoren zich bevinden. [ #### Met welke platforms van derden kan Brivo via een API worden geïntegreerd? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo beschikt over een open, flexibel API-ecosysteem dat naadloos samenwerkt met meer dan 400 technologiepartners. U kunt ons beveiligingsplatform naadloos koppelen aan toonaangevende bedrijfs-IT-software zoals Azure AD en Okta voor geautomatiseerde gebruikersprovisioning, toonaangevende tools voor werkplekbeheer en bezoekersbeheer zoals Envoy, vastgoedbeheerplatforms zoals Entrata, en een breed scala aan door AI aangestuurde operationele applicaties van derden. --- ### [Inicio](https://www.brivo.com/) **Published:** April 24, 2026 **Author:** Norma Velasco **Content:** # Si merece la pena protegerlo, , merece la pena Brivo #### Gestiona la seguridad de tu empresa desde una única plataforma potente.

Pricing depends on the number of locations you manage, visitor volume, or integration needs. [ Book a demo ](/demo) ## Common Questions About Visitor Management Systems More questions? [ See Access FAQs ](/resources/faq/) [ ### How does Brivo’s visitor management system streamline check-ins? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo Visitor Management, powered by Envoy, uses a lobby kiosk and guided workflows to replace paper sign-in sheets. Visitors enter their details, complete screening questions, and acknowledge policies in a single flow. Hosts receive automatic notifications, and badges or temporary credentials (physical and digital) can be issued on the spot, shortening lines and improving accuracy compared to manual logs. [ ### Can visitors preregister before arriving on-site? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. Hosts can preregister guests, set visit dates and times, and send confirmation emails with instructions. When visitors arrive, their details are already in the system. As a result, they move through the kiosk check-in faster, and you maintain a clear record of who was expected and who actually arrived. [ ### Does the platform integrate with access control and ID badge printers? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo Visitor Management is part of the Brivo Security Suite and integrates with Brivo Access to support time-bound PINs or [mobile credentials](/products/access-control/credentials/). The product also supports badge printing within the kiosk workflow. This means visitors receive visible identification without requiring additional steps from the front desk. [ ### How are visitor records stored and protected for compliance? ](javascript:void(0)) Visitor records are stored in Brivo’s cloud platform, which uses encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, and detailed activity logging. You can configure which questions are asked, which documents must be accepted, and how long records are retained. You can then export data to support audits, safety reviews, or internal reporting. [ ### Can multiple office locations share a single visitor management system? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. Because Brivo runs in the cloud, multisite organizations can manage visitor flows across [multiple locations](/solutions/multi-location-security-management/) from a single console. You can standardize policies and sign-in questions across sites while still tailoring options such as languages and instructions for specific offices. Central reporting shows visitor activity by building, region, or the entire portfolio. --- ### [Point of Sale](https://www.brivo.com/products/point-of-sale-integration/) **Published:** June 5, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Retail Loss Prevention # Point-of-Sale Integration for Modern Retail Security Point-of-sale terminals and AI-powered surveillance work together to mitigate retail shrink in real time.

[ Explore editions ](/platform/security-suite-editions/) ## Common Questions for Commercial Door Locks [ #### Can I upgrade existing commercial doors to smart/keyless locks without replacing all the hardware? ](javascript:void(0)) In many cases, yes. Brivo Security Suite works with compatible wireless and credentialed locks from brands like Assa Abloy Aperio, Schlage, and others, so you can upgrade to cloud-managed, keyless access while reusing existing doors and often existing lock prep. Brivo Unified Credential lets you issue a single secure credential that works across supported locks and readers, helping you modernize access without a full hardware rip-and-replace. A Brivo dealer can confirm exactly which locks and components at your site can be reused. [ #### What’s the difference between a standalone “smart lock” and a commercial door lock connected to Brivo Security Suite? ](javascript:void(0)) A standalone smart lock typically manages users, PINs, and app access on the lock itself, which works for a single door or small setup but offers limited central management and reporting. A commercial door lock that integrates with Brivo Security Suite is part of a cloud access control system: credentials, schedules, and roles live in the cloud, and door events and status roll up into one dashboard with reporting and, when enabled, video. That gives you centralized control across multiple doors and locations, along with consistent audit trails and policies. [ #### How do Brivo commercial door locks support compliance needs like audit trails and access reports by door? ](javascript:void(0)) The Brivo Security Suite captures events with details such as time, door, and user, and displays live activity and door status in its dashboards. These events feed into reports that you can filter by device, site, group, or user, and then schedule or export for audits and internal reviews. Reports are explicitly designed for auditing and compliance use cases, helping you demonstrate who had access to which doors and when. When video is integrated, you can also pair door events with corresponding footage for stronger incident documentation. --- ### [Business Intelligence](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/physical-security-analytics/) **Published:** June 22, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Use Case # Physical Security Analytics and Business Intelligence for Data-Driven Security [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ![Business Intelligence Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Business-Inteligence-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Capabilities ## Improve Facility Safety, Staffing, and Compliance With Video Analytics Brivo unifies and converts data on door activity, user behavior, events, and location into actionable insights.

In a Brivo deployment, either a bridge or a cloud-managed video recorder (CMVR) connects cameras to the cloud and manages encrypted video flow. A CMVR also adds on-site recording. Switches keep cameras and network devices powered and connected. Bridges serve as the intelligent gateway, buffering and encrypting video for 100% cloud storage. CMVRs provide the best of both worlds, offering on-site storage for high-bandwidth environments while mirroring critical footage to the cloud for redundancy. High-performance PoE switches provide the backbone, ensuring both power and data flow remain uninterrupted.

For most buyers, the core decision comes down to bridge vs. CMVR, with some environments benefiting from a hybrid approach. ##### How long do you need to retain video? Start with your incident patterns, policy requirements, and the actual time teams need video available for review. ##### How often do teams investigate remotely? If security or IT needs fast off-site access, prioritize cloud-based retrieval and evidence sharing across locations. ##### What does your bandwidth look like at each site? Stable connections usually support a bridge well, while lower-bandwidth locations may point to a CMVR for local-first recording. ##### Bridge or CMVR? Choose a bridge for a “pure cloud” experience where all video is stored off-site. Choose a CMVR when you need large amounts of local storage for high-resolution cameras or have limited upstream bandwidth. ##### Do you need hybrid resiliency? Evaluate whether local backup, edge recording, or a cloud-plus-local model is the right fit to maintain remote access and continuity during outages. ##### How many locations will this system need to support next year? Storage decisions should hold up as the number of cameras, users, and sites increases over time. ###### Hardware ## Brivo Eagle Eye Bridges, CMVRs, and Switches Brivo connects its cloud platform to supported commercial door locks and readers from other manufacturers, so you can manage who gets in without worrying about the hardware.

[ Video editions ](/platform/video-management-system-editions/) ## Common Questions About Security Camera Cloud Storage [ ### Do security cameras need cloud storage? ](javascript:void(0)) No. Cloud-only, local-only, and hybrid models can all work, depending on your risk profile, bandwidth, and how your team investigates incidents. Cloud storage is usually the stronger fit when remote access, faster evidence sharing, and multi-location oversight matter most. Local-only storage can work when bandwidth is limited or when policy requires on-premises retention, but it can make review and sharing across locations more difficult. A hybrid model gives you both, keeping video local and in the cloud for reliability and redundancy. Learn more about Brivo Eagle Eye [cloud video surveillance features](/platform/video-management-system/ "Video Management System"). [ ### How long should businesses retain security camera footage in the cloud? ](javascript:void(0)) There is no single right number. Retention should align with your incident patterns, internal policies, industry requirements, and the business's practical needs. For example, in Brivo Eagle Eye Video subscriptions, retention options range from 7 days to 5 years, and the subscription structure is based in part on resolution and retention period. With Brivo, applicable accounts can adjust how long system data is stored, making policy updates easier to manage remotely rather than through a site visit. [ ### What happens to cloud video storage during an internet outage? ](javascript:void(0)) It depends on the storage architecture. A Brivo Eagle Eye Bridge uses built-in buffering to store data for a limited time during network outages or bandwidth fluctuations, then continues sending video when connectivity returns. CMVR deployments can also keep video on-premises, in the cloud, or in both locations. This flexibility gives teams a stronger continuity option when local retention or extra redundancy is required. [ ### How much bandwidth does security camera cloud storage require? ](javascript:void(0)) Bandwidth depends on resolution, frame rate, compression, audio, and whether cameras record continuously or only when motion is detected. As a directional example, [Safemo’s guide](https://safemo.com/blogs/home-security/what-size-sd-card-for-security-camera) estimates continuous H.264 recording at 15 fps at about 1-2GB per hour for 1080p and 3-6GB per hour for 4K, and says H.265 can reduce usage by 30-50%. Of course, treat those numbers as planning ranges, not guarantees. Actual load changes with camera settings and scene activity. Brivo Eagle Eye cloud video storage options can be configured for environments with limited or variable bandwidth. [ ### What should IT teams look for in cloud storage camera cybersecurity? ](javascript:void(0)) Start with encryption, strong admin controls, and clear user permissions. End-to-end encryption, two-factor authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and triple-redundant video storage are common evaluation criteria. For future-proofing, look for cloud-managed updates and an architecture that does not leave every location to handle security maintenance on its own. Additionally, role-based access control has become the predominant model for advanced access control because it reduces the complexity of security administration. [ ### How does Brivo's storage architecture affect security response and video management? ](javascript:void(0)) Storage architecture dictates how quickly a team can respond to a threat. By centralizing footage in a cloud-connected environment, operators can perform lightning-fast searches across multiple sites simultaneously, reviewing video alongside Brivo access events without the latency associated with traditional NVRs. Bridges support cloud-first video with buffering, CMVRs support cloud-connected video with local storage, and switches help maintain stable throughput across the system. That architecture affects who can access footage, how retention is applied, and how quickly operators can pull video into the Brivo Security Suite for reviews, exports, and follow-up. --- ### [Cameras](https://www.brivo.com/products/video-surveillance/security-cameras/) **Published:** May 20, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** # Security Cameras For Business ![Cameras Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Cameras-Hero-1024x731.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Video Surveillance ## Unified Camera Solutions for Every Security Challenge Brivo’s integrated video management system brings cameras into the same workflows as access control, intrusion detection, and event management for an end-to-end security approach, with AI features that enable them to do more than just watch, shifting your security from reactive to proactive.

[ See Access FAQs ](/resources/faq/) [ ### What is intrusion detection, and how does it support commercial security operations? ](javascript:void(0)) Intrusion detection is part of your security program that monitors for unauthorized and risky activity. It triggers alarms when suspicious activity is detected, such as a forced door or motion after hours. In commercial environments, intrusion detection works best when integrated with response workflows. It enables teams to validate what happened and act quickly, either on a single site or across multiple sites. [ ### How does intrusion detection differ from intrusion prevention? ](javascript:void(0)) Intrusion detection focuses on identifying and alerting your team to suspicious activity as it occurs. Intrusion prevention is what you put in place to reduce risk in the first place, such as locked doors, controlled entry, and policies that limit access based on role and schedule. In practice, most organizations use both: prevention to reduce opportunities and detection to catch what gets through. [ ### Can intrusion detection scale across multiple locations with different site needs? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, if the system supports centralized administration with site-level flexibility. You should be able to standardize core settings and escalation paths, then tailor arming schedules, zones, and contacts by location based on each site's operating model. A cloud-managed approach also makes it easier to bring new sites online without changing how teams monitor and respond. [ ### How does Brivo connect intrusion detection with access control and video? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo can display alarm events alongside access control system activity and video context from an integrated security platform, Brivo Security Suite. It enables operators to confirm what happened and proceed directly to response or documentation. [ ### What should businesses look for in an intrusion detection solution? ](javascript:void(0)) In addition to a system that integrates with unified security options so alarms, access and video don’t reside in separate tools, look for a system that: - Reduces false-alarm disruption by adding context. - Supports role-based permissions for day-to-day operations. - Keeps clean records for investigations and audits. Additionally, it should align with your organization’s compliance and standards expectations. --- ### [Access Control](https://www.brivo.com/products/access-control/) **Published:** May 20, 2026 **Author:** Norma Velasco **Content:** ###### Enterprise Physical Security # Access Control Systems for Secure Businesses Control who enters your buildings remotely from a single dashboard for clear, data-driven visibility across every site.

Brivo Security Suite unifies access, video, intrusion and alerts into a single view, treating unstaffed facility security as an efficient response-and-coverage situation. This unified foundation allows a single operator to monitor activity across several dark properties simultaneously, allowing teams to cover more ground without the high cost of staffing every location. [ Solutions For facility teams ](/solutions/facility-security-teams) ## Operational Control for High-Risk, Low-Staff Environments Unstaffed or low-traffic environments are often targets for vandalism and theft because the risk of immediate discovery is lower. With Brivo’s commercial alarm monitoring solutions, teams can detect activity sooner, verify what happened, and respond with better context. ##### Centralized oversight Manage more locations from one unified dashboard view, with access, video, intrusion, and alerts connected in the same workflow. ##### Monitored response Pair live video with 24/7 commercial alarm-monitoring and documented response steps. ##### After-hours visibility Use remote site monitoring to catch activity before the next morning round. ##### Event verification Review gate and door activity using video context rather than relying on guesswork. ##### Proactive video alerts Surface trespassing, loitering, and perimeter movement so teams can respond sooner. ##### Remote alarm verification Confirm whether an incident needs dispatch before escalating. ##### System health and access review Monitor device status, identify issues more quickly, and review credentials and schedules for vendor and contractor visits. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ###### Benefits ## The Complete Remote Monitoring Security Stack The strongest systems help teams detect, verify, and respond in the moment, with predefined steps that enable faster decision-making. That usually starts with a [video management system](/platform/video-management-system/), monitoring, alerts, and access events tied together. ![Remote Monitoring moble](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Remote-Monitoring-moble-1024x730.webp "Simply Better Security") **Remote video surveillance:** Provides operators with live and recorded views across all unstaffed sites from a single, cloud-based interface. **AI-driven analytics:** Automatically surface motion patterns and loitering, so teams only review activity that actually needs attention. **Event-based alarm and verification:** Direct operators to the doors, gates, and cameras that matter, with the context needed to verify, dispatch, call, or document the event. **Access control:** Links the door activity to the video, allowing operators to confirm what happened. **Two-way audio deterrence:** Allows operators to speak directly to trespassers at remote locations using live “talk-down” audio, helping deter unwanted activity before emergency services are dispatched. **AI license plate recognition:** Add vehicle-level visibility at gates, yards, and fleet areas, and automatically flags known “blacklisted” vehicles or logs unauthorized entry in unstaffed logistics hubs. ###### Integrations ## How Does a Unified Cloud Platform Improve Remote Security Monitoring Services? With Brivo Security Suite’s centralized cloud-native environment, operators can move faster because they don’t have to jump between tools and waste time. - **Hybrid modernization:** Transition from fragmented, on-premise DVRs to integrated security management without a total “rip-and-replace” of existing hardware. - **Flexible rollout:** Modernize your most vulnerable, unstaffed locations first, spanning new and legacy systems. - **Connected ecosystem:** Supports broader security workflows through the Integration Marketplace. - **Multi-location control:** Cloud scalability keeps policies consistent as your locations grow. - **Faster verification:** Video linked with access events speeds up responses at doors and gates. ###### Platform ## Essential Requirements for Remote Monitoring Security When comparing reliable cloud-based remote monitoring systems, focus on how they handle verification, escalation, and everyday oversight. Selecting a platform that prioritizes remote security monitoring services ensures that your team isn’t just collecting footage, but actively managing risk. - Real-time alerts that reach the right team quickly. - Clear alarm verification with low false alarm rates. - Multi-site dashboards that reduce operator swivel-chair work. - Analytics that highlight activities worth reviewing. - Access control capabilities and integrations to improve the door and gate context. - Support for vacant, low-staff, and contractor-dependent sites.

Brivo can also help meet enterprise security and compliance expectations through AICPA SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Remote Monitoring Security and Unstaffed Facilities [ ### How does remote video security monitoring reduce false alarms? ](javascript:void(0)) It reduces false alarms by adding analytics and verification before a response is triggered. Instead of reacting to every motion event, teams can review video context, confirm whether the activity is real, and escalate with more confidence. [ ### What facilities benefit most from remote security monitoring services? ](javascript:void(0)) The biggest gains usually come at unstaffed, vacant, and after-hours locations. That includes empty buildings, storage yards, infrastructure sites, parking areas, and distributed properties where delayed discovery is a common risk. [ ### Can remote monitoring security work with access control? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. When video, alarms, and access control work together, operators can see whether a door or gate event matches expected activity. That gives teams better context and helps them respond faster. [ ### How do I choose the right remote monitoring security solution? ](javascript:void(0)) Start with your site conditions, response expectations, and staffing model. Then look for a system that supports verification, integrates with existing tools, and provides real-time mobile alerts with low-latency video so that you can oversee sites from anywhere. [ ### How is remote monitoring different from recorded surveillance? ](javascript:void(0)) Recorded surveillance footage is stored for later review. Remote monitoring adds event detection, alerts, verification, and a response path, so teams can act while an incident is still unfolding. --- ### [Cybersecurity & IT Convergence](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/it-ot-convergence/) **Published:** June 22, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Use Case # IT/OT Convergence for Physical Security [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ![Convergence Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Convergence-Hero.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Capabilities ## Modernize IT/OT Infrastructure With Unified Cloud Physical Security A single cloud standard transforms physical security into a powerful IT upgrade. Brivo connects IT and OT by linking identity, HR and property management systems to physical readers, locks, alarms and cameras via the Brivo open API. This unifies door controllers and video under the same strict cybersecurity and governance standards as your network and business apps, ensuring physical hardware never becomes a backdoor into your network. [ Explore IT solutions ](/solutions/information-technology-teams/) ## Unify IT Standards With Physical Security As your footprint grows, every one-off security setup becomes another headache for your IT team to support. Brivo brings access control, visitor, video, and intrusion into the same standards you utilize for the rest of your tech stack. This way, security stops being an island and becomes a part of your broader technology strategy. ##### Centralized policy and identity management Tie physical access to identity software so role changes and terminations automatically update permissions. ##### Standardized provisioning Use single sign-on (SSO) and directory sync to set up appropriate permissions during onboarding and remove them during offboarding. ##### Network segmentation and device hygiene Place controllers and bridges on segmented networks, apply your firewall rules, and monitor connections to the Brivo cloud over encrypted channels. ##### Unified access, video, and intrusion visibility Centralize events and context across doors, cameras, and intrusion. IT and security teams can align on response and reporting without juggling separate systems. ##### Cybersecure by design Brivo aligns with third-party security and compliance standards and uses strong encryption. Reduce the risk of connected physical devices becoming a path into your broader environment. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ###### Zero-Trust ## Architecture and Zero-Trust Principles You want your physical security to follow the same “never trust, always verify” mindset you apply elsewhere. ![Architecture - mobile](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Architecture-mobile-1024x730.webp "Simply Better Security") **Privileges by design:** Define roles that grant access to only the doors, time ranges, and video rights each person needs. You can mirror your org chart and remove broad "master" profiles that are hard to justify. **Role-based access control (RBAC):** Separate duties between corporate security, facilities, IT, and local operators. RBAC in Brivo makes it clear who can change policies, who can investigate, and who can only view. **Secure protocols and encrypted communication:** Devices talk to the Brivo cloud over encrypted channels, and data is protected in transit and at rest. **Continuous logging and verification:** All access decisions, administrative changes, and logins are tracked. This audit trail supports your zero-trust strategy by allowing you to review who performed which actions and when. Additionally, it complies with strict regulatory requirements. ###### Regulatory Compliance ## SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC Compliance Physical security is the foundation of any comprehensive security audit. Brivo helps you align physical security with your governance programs, so you can confidently answer “who had access, when, and under what policy?” Brivo maintains certifications such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with controls focused on product security, reliability, and availability. Those practices underpin your deployment and provide risk and compliance teams with a clear framework to reference. - Policy-driven roles and change logs that support access reviews. - Configurable data retention for events and video to match policy and regulation. - Audit trails that show badge events, admin actions, and incident history across sites. Physical security shifts from an audit liability to a verifiable data source for compliance and risk reporting. ###### Integrations ## API Enables Identity Connection and Automation Siloed physical security tools create extra work and blind spots. Brivo offers APIs and identity integrations that enable IT and security teams to integrate physical access management and facility monitoring into their automated workflows. Rather than managing them separately, it eliminates manual provisioning and provides a consistent source of identity truth. - **SSO with SAML and OIDC.** Connect Brivo Security Suite to providers such as Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace. Admins and users can sign in with their existing identities and policies. - **Directory and SCIM-style user sync.** Use identity connectors to keep Brivo in step with your source of truth. As people join, move, or leave, their access follows them without another manual change in a separate console. - **Events and integrations for your tools.** Use APIs to feed access and alarm data into ticketing, analytics, or monitoring platforms. Incidents can open in your existing queues, not in a siloed inbox. [ View integrations ](/platform/integrations/) ## Talk to Our Experts Planning IT/OT convergence for your physical security stack?

With it, teams can monitor, investigate, and respond from a single cloud view, anytime, anywhere. The use of AI-powered capabilities and other emerging technologies offers a future-proof solution for your business. [ ### How does centralized operations improve response times? ](javascript:void(0)) When alerts, door events, and video are linked, you can verify incidents faster and coordinate action without switching tools. Visualize, navigate, and act. [ ### Can Brivo manage multiple locations and user roles? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. Brivo Security Suite centralizes security across multiple locations, whether you manage a few facilities or thousands, and supports role-based administration with audit-ready event logs. With identity directory integrations and SCIM-based provisioning, you can automate user provisioning and updates to keep access rights in sync. [ ### What integrations/APIs are supported? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo supports integrations through its open API platform and integrations. This way, you can connect access control with identity, video, building, and workplace systems. The Marketplace includes identity directory connectors, such as Google Workspace and Okta, as well as cloud video integrations. In addition to native integration with Brivo Video, we also offer API integration with partners such as OpenEye. Technology partners, such as Braxos, help extend your workflows across physical access ecosystems. [ ### How is redundancy handled if connectivity is lost? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo supports cellular backup (or primary) connectivity for supported control panels, so your system can maintain connectivity to the Brivo cloud if the local internet connection goes down. There are two options: - **Brivo Cellular Network Module (CNM)** (plug-in module + cellular plan for ACS300/ACS6000 panels). - **Cradlepoint** cellular router approach. Pairing cellular with Ethernet or Wi-Fi can provide multiple communication paths. If all connectivity paths are unavailable, the control panel continues making access decisions locally using the last downloaded configuration and caches up to 60,000 events (first-in, first-out). When connectivity returns, those events automatically upload to the cloud, so activity history stays intact. On the cloud side, [Brivo runs on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/one-enterprise/customers/), with redundancy across multiple availability zones and across regions for data storage. Additionally, daily snapshot backups and warm disaster recovery in additional regions (US, Ohio, Europe, and Ireland). Panels initiate outbound connections only over HTTPS (TCP 443), and Brivo posts planned or unplanned downtime on its public status page. --- ### [Blog](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/) **Published:** June 22, 2026 **Author:** Chris Kendall **Content:** # Brivo Blog [ All ](javascript:void(0)) [ Channel Partners ](javascript:void(0)) [ Company ](javascript:void(0)) [ Customer Story ](javascript:void(0)) [ Developers ](javascript:void(0)) [ News ](javascript:void(0)) [ Product ](javascript:void(0)) [ Security ](javascript:void(0)) [ Technology ](javascript:void(0)) [ ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-to-advance-global-security-standards-with-secure-building-council/)- [Company](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/category/company/) ##### [Brivo to Advance Global Security Standards With Secure Building Council](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-to-advance-global-security-standards-with-secure-building-council/) Brivo Founder Steve Van Till appointed to SBC Advisory Board [ Read more ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-to-advance-global-security-standards-with-secure-building-council/) [ ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-launches-ai-week-to-help-businesses-deploy-practical-ai-security-solutions/)- [Company](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/category/company/) ##### [Brivo Launches AI Week to Help Businesses Deploy Practical AI Security Solutions](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-launches-ai-week-to-help-businesses-deploy-practical-ai-security-solutions/) Five-day virtual event taking place July 27–31, 2026, features executive insights, live developer workshops, and exclusive AI resources for attendees [ Read more ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-launches-ai-week-to-help-businesses-deploy-practical-ai-security-solutions/) [ ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-eagle-eye-gun-detection-wins-2026-secure-campus-award/)- [Company](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/category/company/) ##### [Brivo Eagle Eye Gun Detection Wins 2026 Secure Campus Award](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-eagle-eye-gun-detection-wins-2026-secure-campus-award/) AI-Powered gun detection recognized for improving safety and security in campus environments [ Read more ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-eagle-eye-gun-detection-wins-2026-secure-campus-award/) [ ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-showcases-unified-security-for-multifamily-owners/)- [Company](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/category/company/) ##### [Brivo Showcases Unified Security for Multifamily Owners and Managers at Apartmentalize](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-showcases-unified-security-for-multifamily-owners/) Brivo is bringing its Security Suite Multifamily Edition to Apartmentalize, showing owners and managers how unified access control, video intelligence, and smart building tech run under one login… [ Read more ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/brivo-showcases-unified-security-for-multifamily-owners/) [ ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/hinds-county-launches-first-county-wide-public-safety-camera-initiative-in-the-us/)- [Security](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/category/security/) ##### [Hinds County Launches First County-Wide Public Safety Camera Initiative in the US](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/hinds-county-launches-first-county-wide-public-safety-camera-initiative-in-the-us/) Hinds County is the first U.S. county to launch a comprehensive public-safety camera initiative, using 911 Camera Sharing to unite government, schools, churches, and businesses behind faster emergency response… [ Read more ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/hinds-county-launches-first-county-wide-public-safety-camera-initiative-in-the-us/) [ ](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/what-multifamily-operators-need-all-inside-brivo/)- [Product](https://www.brivo.com/resources/blog/category/product/) ##### [More of What Multifamily Operators Need.

See the full breakdown in [ Explore editions ](/platform/security-suite-editions/) ## Common Questions About Access Control Panels [ ### What types of control panels are best for enterprise organizations? ](javascript:void(0)) Enterprise organizations typically need a mix of multi-door panels for higher door density and distributed controllers across sites to ensure consistency and scalability. Look for support for standard protocols, clear segmentation by building or zone, and a controller strategy that scales without requiring a redesign. For many enterprise retrofits, Mercury-supported controllers provide an open-architecture path that helps standardize across mixed environments. [ ### Do I need to replace my panels to move to the cloud? ](javascript:void(0)) Not always. It depends on what you have today, how it communicates with readers and locks, and whether it can connect to a cloud-managed platform. Many teams modernize in phases, keeping what’s compatible and upgrading where it reduces risk or improves coverage. A compatibility review is the best next step. [ ### How do panels handle network outages? ](javascript:void(0)) Panels use local decision-making to enforce access rules at the door using the permissions they already have. If connectivity drops, doors continue to operate according to those rules. When the network returns, events sync back to the management platform for reporting and review. [ ### Can access control panels integrate with other security systems? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. Panels can be part of a broader security program that includes video, intrusion alarms, visitor workflows, and identity systems. Integrations depend on your devices and software, but a platform approach makes it easier to connect systems and maintain a single operational view for activity and reporting. --- ### [24/7 Monitoring](https://www.brivo.com/products/commercial-alarm-monitoring/) **Published:** June 5, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Brivo 24/7 Monitoring # Commercial Alarm Monitoring for 24/7 Protection Passive protection leaves your facility vulnerable.

We’ve engineered our latest generation of access control panels to support immediate lockdown implementation. By ensuring your hardware is up to date, you gain peace of mind that comes with a system built to respond the moment a threat is identified. [ Security operations solutions ](/solutions/security-teams/) ## Cloud-Based Security Protects Students, Employees, Visitors, and Customers From the first tour to daily living, apartment security is most effective when access and video support the same resident and management workflows. ##### Speed is critical in an emergency Initiate lockdown from a laptop, phone app, or a hardwired button in your building — doors will immediately lock, and system administrators are notified. ##### First responders access preserved The first moments of a crisis are critical to prevent dangerous access, but while lockdown is active, police and emergency services can still enter and navigate the facility without delay. ##### All clear status and communication Prevent confusion and reduce risk after the all-clear, with only the master or senior administrator able to clear the lockdown. ##### Amenity access Capture usage patterns and apply schedules to pools, gyms, and lounges to ensure residents have predictable entry. Video helps resolve misuse and after-hours issues without guesswork. ##### Vendor and maintenance access Control vendor entry with scheduled, role-based access that expires when the job is done. Video provides oversight as crews move through the building, ensuring resident privacy and property safety.

Our cloud-native platform doesn’t just provide the tools for a lockdown, it provides a comprehensive framework that connects people, hardware, and AI to ensure your facility remains safe. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About Emergency Lockdown Systems [ ### How long does it take for a Brivo lockdown to take effect? ](javascript:void(0)) Because Brivo is a cloud-native platform, lockdown commands are sent to your controllers in real-time. Whether triggered via the Brivo Access app, a web browser, or the Brivo Genius Mobile Agent, the instruction is executed instantly by your hardware, securing every designated entry point from across your facility without delay. [ ### Can first responders still enter my building during lockdown? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. Brivo allows administrators to designate specific “Exempt Groups” such as local police or emergency medical services. While the building remains secured against unauthorized entry, these pre-approved credentials remain active, ensuring first responders can bypass the local lockdown and navigate the site to provide assistance. [ ### Does Brivo support physical “panic buttons” for lockdown activation? ](javascript:void(0)) Absolutely. While many users prefer mobile or voice activation, Brivo’s control panels can be integrated with hardwired physical buttons. This allows staff to manually trigger a digital emergency scenario from a desk or wall-mounted switch, providing a tactile, immediate way to initiate safety protocols. [ ### How does Brivo Genius Mobile Agent improve emergency response? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo Genius Mobile Agent uses natural language processing to eliminate the need for manual menu navigation during a crisis. By allowing administrators to issue voice or text commands like “Activate Full Lockdown,” the system reduces human error and cuts down on the time required to secure a facility when seconds are most critical. --- ### [Complete](https://www.brivo.com/products/video-surveillance/complete/) **Published:** June 29, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** # Brivo Eagle Eye Complete ![Security surveillance setup with a white dome camera (left), blue industrial computer (center), solar panel array with a blue beacon (right), and a robotic arm below.](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Complete-Hero-b.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Operational Expense Option ## Reduce Upfront Costs with Brivo Eagle Eye Complete Get the benefits of Brivo Eagle Eye Video with minimal initial investment and Lifetime Repair & Replace coverage.

[ ### Can LPR send real-time alerts? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, the system can send real-time alerts when specific license plates are detected. Users can create vehicle lists (e.g., authorized vehicles, denied vehicles) and receive push notifications, text messages, or emails. [ ### Can LPR integrate with my existing parking gate or barrier hardware? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, Brivo License Plate Credentials delivers the most frictionless vehicle access experience for property staff, residents, and visitors. --- ### [Tenant & Resident Experience](https://www.brivo.com/solutions/access-control-systems-for-apartments/) **Published:** June 9, 2026 **Author:** Norma Velasco **Content:** ###### Tenant and Resident Experience # Access Control and Security Systems for Apartments and Condos [ Book a demo ](/demo) ![Woman in a brown jacket using her phone to unlock a smart door lock on a wooden door.](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Image-1.webp) ###### Unified Physical Security ## The Importance of the Resident Experience When evaluating access control systems for apartments, resident security comes down to three things: controlled, secure entry, clear visibility into common areas, and a smoother daily experience across the property. Brivo Security Suite does all this by unifying access and video, with visitor management and intrusion options when you need them. Mobile entry to units, amenities, and common areas improves convenience, while automated provisioning, guest workflows, and lockout support can help reduce overhead. [ Brivo Security Suite ](/platform/security-suite/) ## Where Day-to-Day Life and Security Intersect From the first tour to daily living, apartment security is most effective when access and video support the same resident and management workflows. ##### Move-ins and move-outs Issue, update, or revoke access as occupancy changes, so residents and staff do not wait for handoffs. This keeps unit and amenity access aligned with the current resident statuses. ##### Guest entry and self-guided tours Use time-bound access instead of shared codes so prospects and guests follow approved paths. Integrated video provides a clear record of the visit for added security. ##### Deliveries and package rooms Control access to delivery areas to reduce package disputes. When something is missing, linked video speeds review and helps teams respond with confidence. ##### Amenity access Capture usage patterns and apply schedules to pools, gyms, and lounges to ensure residents have predictable entry. Video helps resolve misuse and after-hours issues without guesswork. ##### Vendor and maintenance access Control vendor entry with scheduled, role-based access that expires when the job is done. Video provides oversight as crews move through the building, ensuring resident privacy and property safety. [ See multi-family security ](/industry/multifamily-security-systems/) ###### Use Cases ## Stronger Resident Security With Access Control and Video Resident security improves when access control and video work together in the same workflow. Instead of switching between systems, your team can confirm who entered, review what happened, and resolve issues faster. ![Apartment building with blue railings and hanging plants on balconies under a clear blue sky.](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/NEW-MOBILE-1024x730.webp) **Mobile-first entry with fallback options:** Reduce lockouts and limit shared credentials for mobile access, with cards or fobs available for day-to-day convenience. **Role-based staff and vendor access:** Limit permissions by role, location, and schedule so vendors reach only the doors they need. If a service window changes, you can easily adjust access. **Time-bound guest entry:** Replace static codes with expiring access for guests, tours, and short-term visitors. This reduces the risk of reuse and makes follow-up easier when needed. **Amenity schedules that match operations:** Keep shared spaces available during posted hours, then automatically secured. For exceptions, the activity record helps teams respond consistently. **Remote video monitoring:** Gain 24/7 monitoring of common entries and areas with human-layered and AI-powered video surveillance **Privacy and response controls:** Define who can view access and video data, how long to retain records, and how to handle emergency workflows to maintain governance standards. ###### Brivo Security Suite ## How Brivo Supports Security Systems for Apartments and Condos Manage resident, staff, and visitor access in the Brivo Security Suite, with video context and audit-ready reporting to support faster follow-up across your communities. - **Mobile credentials for residents and staff.** Issue [mobile access control](/products/access-control/credentials/) and reduce reliance on shared fobs. Keep physical credentials available for continuity and exceptions. - **Remote access changes for moves, lost credentials, and self-guided tours.** Update doors, schedules, and permissions remotely to respond faster when a resident transfers, a unit turns, or a lockout occurs. - **Time-bound vendor and guest access.** Set start and end times so access expires automatically instead of lingering. [Brivo Visitor Management, powered by Envoy](/products/visitor-management-systems/)[,](/products/visitor-management-systems/ "Brivo Visitor Management, powered by Envoy") can also facilitate check-in and maintain clear visitor records. - **Amenity schedules that match community rules.** Apply hours for gyms, pools, and other shared areas in the building or community. When exceptions happen, event history makes follow-up more consistent. - **Advanced proactive monitoring to assure resident safety and clean property. 24/7 video monitoring provides an additional layer of comfort for residents. In an emergency, first responders are assisted with Brivo Eagle Eye 911 Camera Sharing . Illegal dumping attempts are identified and deterred remotely with voice commands.** - **Integrations that connect access to property operations.** Use [Brivo integrations](/platform/integrations/) to connect with proptech and property management systems where relevant. This reduces duplicate data entry and helps keep workflows consistent as your portfolio grows. ## Protect Residents With a Modern Security Solution Brivo gives multifamily operators a practical way to standardize security across buildings and create a smoother resident experience. Through Brivo’s integration with MRI Software, property managers can grant residents and guests access to community spaces directly in the MRI workflow, reducing duplicate steps. Request a demo to see how unified access and video can improve resident safety and day-to-day operations across your portfolio. [ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Common Questions About the Resident Security Experience [ #### How does security improve residents ' security experience? ](javascript:void(0)) Security improves the resident experience by combining controlled entry with accountability. Clear access rules reduce workarounds, and audit-ready logs plus video at key doors or amenities help teams resolve questions faster when something goes wrong. [ #### What should a security system for apartments and condos include? ](javascript:void(0)) Look for a system like Brivo Security Suite that covers the doors, gates, and shared spaces residents use every day, while giving your team a clear way to manage access across the property. That includes flexible credentials such as mobile, cards, and fobs, schedules for amenities and common areas, and role-based permissions for staff, vendors, and service teams. It should also support auditable entry logs, remote changes for move-ins and move-outs, and visitor workflows that help reduce shared codes and manual follow-up. Video at entrances, package rooms, and amenities adds the context property teams need to verify what happened and resolve questions faster. Video can also detect risky or inappropriate events, such as illegal dumping or small children alone in the pool area. [ #### How do you manage guest and delivery access without sharing codes? ](javascript:void(0)) Use time-bound guest access or single-use entry methods for visitors, plus defined delivery windows for package rooms. Audit logs and linked video help reduce disputes by showing who entered, when, and where. [ #### Are mobile credentials safe for multifamily buildings? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, when they’re issued to a specific user, and they can be revoked quickly if a phone is lost or a resident moves out. Pair mobile access with role-based permissions and clear resident guidance on enrollment, lost-device steps, and privacy expectations. --- ### [Brivo Security Suite Editions](https://www.brivo.com/platform/security-suite-editions/) **Published:** June 22, 2026 **Author:** Chris Kendall **Content:** # Brivo Security Suite Editions: Scalable Cloud-Native Security Solutions Explore the full range of solutions tailored to fit buildings of all sizes and industries.

[ See Access FAQs ](/resources/faq/) [ ### What is the difference between standard surveillance and Remote Video Monitoring? ](javascript:void(0)) Traditional surveillance is the passive recording of footage for forensic review. In contrast, Remote Video Monitoring is a proactive, live service in which off-site professionals use AI-powered video to detect, verify, and intervene in real time — including deterrence via two-way audio. [ ### How does AI-powered video monitoring help my business avoid false-alarm fines? ](javascript:void(0)) AI-powered monitoring significantly reduces false-alarm fines by serving as an intelligent filter between your security hardware and the police. Traditional systems often "cry wolf" because they can't distinguish between a burglar and a tree branch swaying in the wind, but AI-enhanced systems use multiple layers of verification to ensure that only real threats result in a dispatch. AI distinguishes the who and what; Is it a person, animal, vehicle, etc.? AI offers behavior and contextual analysis, such as loitering or time-based activity. [ ### Can Brivo’s Remote Video Monitoring integrate with my existing security cameras? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, for most cases. Remote Video Monitoring integrates with Brivo Eagle Eye Video, which supports over 8,000 camera models. [ ### What are the cost savings of Remote Video Monitoring compared to hiring on-site security guards? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo Eagle Eye Remote Video Monitoring offers 50-90% cost savings over physical guards. It also eliminates the inherent risks of drive-by patrols, where security gaps inevitably appear between scheduled rounds. --- ### [911 Camera Sharing](https://www.brivo.com/products/video-analytics/911-camera-sharing/) **Published:** June 4, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### 911 Camera Sharing # Real-Time Critical Data for Emergency Responders Move beyond standard video recordings.

[ Explore Access Editions ](https://support.brivo.com/s/article/Brivo-Access-Mobile-How-to-unlock-a-Door-in-the-Brivo-Access-Mobile-app?language=en_US) ## Common Questions About Physical Security Sensors and Audio [ ### What are the most important physical security sensors for a commercial building? ](javascript:void(0)) Start with door/contact sensors to detect door-open, forced-open, and held-open conditions at perimeter and restricted doors. Add motion sensors (PIR) for after-hours movement and areas where tailgating or unauthorized entry is a concern, plus glass-break for intrusion risk. Then layer in environmental sensors, such as water leak detection (rope/area or point/puck), temperature and humidity, and air quality (including vape), where safety or asset protection is a concern. Most sites also pair sensing with visual verification (cameras and analytics) and higher-assurance credentials such as biometric authentication or MFA, where configured. [ ### What is the importance of door sensors and access control? ](javascript:void(0)) Door sensors tell you what the door did (opened, forced, or held), while access control tells you who was authorized (or denied) at that time. Together, they create a clearer timeline for investigations and make it easier to distinguish normal use from true exceptions. [ ### How can a security camera with audio benefit the work environment? ](javascript:void(0)) Audio can help teams deter unwanted behavior, provide directions, and support safety messaging without being on site. Because consent and recording requirements vary, align audio use with internal policy, signage, and guidance from legal counsel. [ ### What is two-way audio, and when should security teams use it? ](javascript:void(0)) Two-way audio lets operators speak and listen via a camera or an IP speaker when deployed. It’s useful for talk-down at entrances, guiding visitors or vendors, and supporting remote response during after-hours activity or safety concerns. [ ### How do you reduce false alarms with motion and door sensors? ](javascript:void(0)) Good placement and calibration matter, especially near HVAC vents, rattling doors, or high-traffic areas. Use schedules and thresholds so alerts match operating hours, verify events with video before escalation, and tune settings during a pilot to reduce nuisance alerts over time. --- ### [Cabinet Systems](https://www.brivo.com/products/video-surveillance/cabinets/) **Published:** June 4, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** # Video Surveillance Cabinets ![Cabinet Systems Hero](https://www.brivo.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Cabinet-Systems-Hero-1024x730.webp "Simply Better Security") ###### Complete Site Security ## High-Performance Video Surveillance Anywhere Deploy a standalone, cloud-managed security powerhouse in locations once considered unreachable.

[ Book a demo ](/demo) ## Common Questions About Video Surveillance Cabinets [ ### How do video surveillance cabinets compare to traditional security trailers? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo Eagle Eye Cabinet Systems offer a smaller, more robust, and less expensive alternative to traditional, bulky mobile surveillance trailers. These systems provide the same rugged, solar-powered, and AI-enabled capabilities without the logistical challenges or high costs associated with towing and maintaining large trailer units. [ ### Can I install these cabinets in locations with zero access to the power grid? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. The Brivo Eagle Eye Anywhere Cabinet is specifically designed for deployment in remote areas where wired power is unavailable. It uses a high-efficiency solar panel and a multi-day battery to provide continuous operation. [ ### Do these systems require a local internet service provider to stream to the cloud? ](javascript:void(0)) No. All cabinet options include a pre-configured cellular modem that connects directly to Brivo Eagle Eye Video. This eliminates the need for a local internet service provider (ISP) or expensive network trenching and wiring. [ ### Are Brivo Eagle Eye Cabinet Systems compatible with AI features like License Plate Recognition? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. All Brivo Eagle Eye Cabinet Systems are compatible with advanced AI features, including [License Plate Recognition (LPR)](/products/video-analytics/license-plate-recognition/) and AI-driven natural language search. The Bridge Cabinet is particularly suited for high-traffic LPR applications as it can host a local bridge or CMVR for enhanced performance. [ ### What happens to the surveillance system during extended periods of low sunlight? ](javascript:void(0)) In ideal conditions, the system's battery requires four hours of direct sunlight to achieve a full charge, which can power the unit for approximately two days. If your site persistently experiences low sunlight or heavy cloud cover, you can install a second solar panel in a parallel circuit to ensure consistent power. [ ### What are power and connectivity options for remote sites? ](javascript:void(0)) Brivo Eagle Eye Cabinet Systems are engineered to provide consistent, battery-backed power regardless of your site’s infrastructure. For deployments where solar coverage is limited by geography or nearby buildings, the systems can accept power from an optional external power supply. This allows you to use standard solar panel connections to provide reliable power from almost any AC mains source, such as utility poles or streetlights. Wired power is useful in several situations: - In places where solar coverage is limited by geography - Where building codes or nearby buildings limit direct access to the sun - In locations with a high risk of theft, vandalism, or weather damage - For situations where solar panels would be obtrusive --- ### [Credentials](https://www.brivo.com/products/access-control/credentials/) **Published:** June 4, 2026 **Author:** rdrewen **Content:** ###### Manage users and permissions # Access Credentials for Unified Identity Management Access credentials are how users prove they have permission to enter.

[ Book a demo ](https://www.brivo.com/demo/) ## Questions About How Brivo Issues, Secures, and Manages Access More questions? [ See Access FAQs ](/resources/faq/) [ ### What are the main types of access credentials for businesses? ](javascript:void(0)) Most organizations use a mix. Common access credentials include mobile credentials (including digital wallet passes), physical cards and fobs, PINs for keypad doors, and biometrics for higher-security areas. The right mix depends on your doors, user types, and how often access changes. [ ### Are mobile credentials secure enough for commercial environments? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes, when they’re managed with the right controls. Mobile credentials are issued to a specific user and use encrypted communication to help protect data in transit and reduce the risk of cloning. Access to the credential on the phone is also protected by device authentication (for example, biometrics or a passcode), depending on the user’s settings. You can quickly update or revoke credentials if a phone is lost or access should end, and pair mobile credentials with role-based permissions, schedules, and multi-factor requirements (where configured) to match the risk level of each area. [ ### How should businesses choose credentials for multiple sites and zones? ](javascript:void(0)) Start by mapping roles to zones. Public areas and common doors may only need standard credentials. Restricted rooms may require stronger policies, such as card plus PIN or biometrics, where configured. For multi-site organizations, choose credentials that reduce administrative work (mobile and digital wallet, where possible) while providing a secure, convenient user experience. Keep physical options available for locations that need continuity. [ ### How do credentials support fast offboarding and access revocation? ](javascript:void(0)) Credential lifecycle control is key. When someone leaves or changes roles, you should be able to remove access immediately across all doors and locations without collecting keys or reprogramming devices. A centralized platform also helps prevent “credential sprawl” by keeping old credentials inactive. [ ### Can credentials be tied to door events and video for investigations? ](javascript:void(0)) Yes. When credentials connect to door events, you get clear records of who accessed what and when. If video is integrated, teams can pull the related footage alongside the access event to verify what happened and build a cleaner timeline for internal review or external reporting. --- ### [Brivo Notices](https://www.brivo.com/notices/) **Published:** June 29, 2026 **Author:** Chris Kendall **Content:** # **Brivo Notices** **September 8, 2025 – Brivo Statement on NPM Package Compromise** We are aware of the NPM Package Compromise that was widely reported today.

As a Maryland-based company, the Governor issued new guidelines (COVID19-04) regarding the closing of “non-essential businesses.” The guidance exempts certain types of businesses and Brivo falls into several exempt categories, including both “The Commercial Facilities Sector” and “The Information Technology Sector.” As of March 24, our Bethesda, Maryland office location will be open to essential personnel only. We can confirm we are able to continue operations in full compliance with the order as an exempt business. We will continue to monitor this situation and adapt if needed as the situation continues to evolve. We are committed to the Brivo mission to provide Simply Better Security and that does not stop in times like this. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by email at or by phone at +1.866.692.7486.

To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program, and to view our certification, please visit . This Statement describes how Brivo implements the DPF Principles for Consumer Personal Information. For purposes of this Statement: **“Consumer”** means any natural person who is located in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, but excludes any individual acting in his or her capacity as an Employee. **“Controller”** means a person or organization which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Information. **“Customer”** means any entity for which Brivo provides products and/or services. **“EEA”** means the European Union and Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. **“Processor”** means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes Personal Information on behalf of a Controller. **Types of Personal Information Brivo Collects** Depending upon the context, Brivo may serve as a Controller or as a Processor of Consumer Personal Information. **Controller Activities** As a Controller, Brivo obtains Personal Information about Consumers in various ways. For example, Brivo collects Personal Information from Consumers who visit our websites. Brivo may use Personal Information collected when the Consumer visits our websites for the purposes indicated in Brivo’s Privacy Policies. The Brivo Privacy Policies may be updated from time to time as Brivo changes the types of Personal Information that it collects from Consumers. Brivo also obtains and uses Consumer Personal Information in other ways for which Brivo provides specific notice at the time of collection, such as through the Brivo Mobile Apps. Brivo also obtains Personal Information from its vendors’ and service providers’ representatives. The information obtained may include contact information and payment or financial account data. Brivo uses this information to manage its relationships with its vendors and service providers, process payments, and carry out Brivo’s obligations under its contracts with these parties. **Processor Activities** As a Processor, Brivo may receive Consumer Personal Information in connection with providing services to its Customers. **Data Privacy Framework Policies** The following privacy principles apply to the transfer, collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information from the E.U., UK and Switzerland by Brivo. **Notice** Brivo provides information in this Statement and Brivo’s Privacy Policies about its Consumer Personal Information practices as a Controller, including: - the types of Personal Information Brivo collects; - the types of third parties to which Brivo discloses the Personal Information and the purposes for doing so, the rights; - the choices Consumers have for limiting the use and disclosure of their Personal Information; and, - how to contact Brivo about its practices concerning Personal Information. When a Customer transfers or authorizes the transfer of Consumer Personal Information to Brivo in the U.S as a Processor, the Customer is responsible for providing appropriate notice to Consumers and ensuring it is collecting such the Personal Information under a lawful basis such as for example, obtaining the Customer’s requisite consent. **Choice** When Brivo collects Consumer Personal Information in its role as a Controller, Brivo generally offers the relevant Consumers the opportunity to choose whether their Personal Information may be (i) disclosed to third-party Controllers or (ii) used for a purpose that is materially different from the purposes for which the information was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the relevant Consumer. Consumers may contact Brivo as indicated below regarding Brivo’s use or disclosure of their Personal Information. When Brivo obtains Consumer Personal Information in its role as a Processor for its Customers, Brivo’s Customers are responsible for providing appropriate notice to its Consumers and ensuring it provides the relevant Consumers with certain choices with respect to the Customers’ use or disclosure of the Consumers’ Personal Information. Brivo shares certain Consumer Personal Information with its affiliates and subsidiaries. Brivo may disclose Consumer Personal Information without offering an opportunity to opt out and may be required to disclose the Personal Information: - to third-party Processors Brivo has retained to perform services on its behalf and pursuant to it instructions, - if it is required to do so by law or legal process, or - in response to lawful requests from governmental authorities, including to meet national security, governmental interest, or law enforcement requirements. Brivo also reserves the right to transfer Consumer Personal Information in the event of an audit or if Brivo sells or transfers all or a portion of its business or assets (including in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation). **Accountability for Onward Transfer of Personal Information** This Statement and Brivo’s Privacy Policies describe Brivo’s sharing of Consumer Personal Information. To the extent Brivo acts as a Controller, except as permitted or required by applicable law, Brivo shall provide Consumers with an opportunity to opt out of sharing their Personal Information with third-party Controllers. Brivo requires third-party Controllers to whom it discloses such Consumer Personal Information to contractually agree to (i) only process the Personal Information for limited and specified purposes consistent with then consent provided by the relevant Consumer, (ii) provide the same level of protection for Personal Information as is required by the DPF Principles, and (iii) notify Brivo and cease processing Personal Information (or take other reasonable and appropriate remedial steps) if the third-party Controller determines that it cannot meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection for Personal Information as is required by the DPF Principles. With respect to transfers of Consumer Personal Information to third-party Processors, Brivo (i) enters into a contract with each relevant Processor, (ii) transfers Personal Information to each such Processor only for limited and specified purposes, (iii) ascertains that the Processor is obligated to provide the Personal Information with at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by the DPF Principles, (iv) takes reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure that the Processor effectively processes the Personal Information in a manner consistent with Brivo’s obligations under the DPF Principles, (v) requires the Processor to notify Brivo if the Processor determines that it can no longer meet its obligation to provide the same level of protection as is required by the DPF Principles, (vi) upon notice, including under (v) above, takes reasonable and appropriate steps to stop and remediate unauthorized processing of the Personal Information by the Processor, and (vii) provides a summary or representative copy of the relevant privacy provisions of the Processor contract to the Department of Commerce, upon request. Brivo remains liable under the DPF Principles if Brivo’s third-party Processor onward transfer recipients process relevant Personal Information in a manner inconsistent with the DPF Principles, unless Brivo proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. **Security** Brivo takes reasonable and appropriate measures to protect Consumer Personal Information in its possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. **Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation** Brivo seeks to ensure that any Personal Information held about E.U., UK and Swiss individuals is accurate, complete, current, and otherwise reliable in relation to the purposes for which the information was obtained. Brivo collects Personal Information that is adequate, relevant, and not excessive for the purposes for which it is to be processed. E.U., UK and Swiss individuals are responsible for assisting Brivo in maintaining accurate, complete, and current Personal Information about them. Subject to applicable law, Brivo retains Consumer Personal Information in a form that identifies or renders identifiable the relevant Consumer only for as long as it serves a purpose that is compatible with the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected or subsequently authorized by the Consumer. **Access and Correction** To the extent Brivo acts as a Controller, and upon written request to Brivo as set forth below, Brivo will (i) provide E.U., UK and Swiss individuals with reasonable access to their Personal Information and (ii) will take reasonable steps to allow E.U., UK and Swiss individuals to review their information for the purposes of correcting their information. There are certain limitations to the Access and Correction right, as set forth on the DPF website. When Brivo obtains Consumer Personal Information in its role as a Processor for its Customers, Brivo’s Customers are responsible for providing Consumers with access to the Personal Information and the right to correct, amend or delete the information where it is inaccurate or has been processed in violation of the DPF Principles, as appropriate. In such circumstances, Consumers should direct their questions to the appropriate Brivo Customer. When a Consumer is unable to contact the appropriate Customer, or does not obtain a response from the Customer, Brivo will provide reasonable assistance in forwarding the Consumer’s request to the Customer. **Recourse, Enforcement and Liability** Brivo has developed internal mechanisms in order to adhere to the DPF Principles.

Following the dispute resolution process, the mediator or the Consumer may refer the matter to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which has DPF investigatory and enforcement powers. Under certain circumstances, Consumers also may be able to invoke binding arbitration to address complaints about Brivo’s compliance with the DPF Principles. When Brivo obtains Consumer Personal Information in its role as a Processor for its Customers, Consumers may submit complaints concerning the processing of their Personal Information to the relevant Customer, in accordance with the Customer’s dispute resolution process.

Customer may use the Brivo System solely for its internal business purposes as contemplated by this Agreement and the Documentation and Customer may not: (i) license, sublicense, sell, resell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, time share or otherwise commercially exploit or make the Brivo System available to any third party, other than to Users as contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) record, transmit or store infringing, obscene, threatening, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, including material that is harmful to children or violates third-party privacy rights; (iii) send or store code, files, scripts, agents or programs intended to do harm, including, for example, viruses, worms, time bombs, Trojan horses or other malicious code; (iv) intentionally interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Brivo System or the data contained therein; or (v) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Brivo System or its related systems or networks. 4. **Third Party Products**. Through use of the Brivo API and via direct integration, the Brivo Service has the ability to integrate with free and paid third-party applications and hardware that offer additional or different features or functionality (“**Third Party Products**”). If Customer enables or uses Third Party Products with the Brivo Service, Customer acknowledges the interoperation of the Third Party Products and Brivo Service may require the exchange of Customer Data as required for the interoperation of the Third Party Product and the Brivo Service and Customer hereby grants Brivo permission to allow a Third Party Product and its provider to access Customer Data in connection with such integration. This may include transmitting, transferring, modifying or deleting Customer Data. Brivo shall not be responsible for the safety or the security of the Customer Data, or any use, disclosure, modification, or deletion of such Customer Data or for any act or omission on the part of the third-party provider or its Third Party Products. Brivo cannot guarantee the continued availability of integration and the interoperation of Third Party Products and may cease use of the Brivo API without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if, for example and without limitation, the provider of a Third Party Product ceases to make the Third Party Product available for interoperation with Brivo in a manner acceptable to Brivo. Any claims by Customer due, among other things, to intellectual property infringement, defects, delays, damages or any other consequences arising from the use of or implementation by Customer of any Third Party Product is the responsibility of such Third Party Product provider and not Brivo and shall be governed by terms established between such provider and Customer, and not this Agreement. 5. **Apple Technology**. If (i) Customer has entered into an agreement with Apple Inc. (“Apple”) for Customer’s use of Apple’s technology, (as amended from time to time, the “Apple Agreement”), including the use of credentials on an Apple device for physical access control in connection with Customer’s use of the Brivo System, and (ii) Brivo has entered into an agreement with Apple to serve as a Participating Access Partner in relation to the use of the Apple technology in connection with the Brivo System, You agree that Your rights and obligations in relation to such Apple technology are governed by the terms and conditions of such Apple Agreement and You agree to comply with the terms and conditions of such agreement, in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You hereby further authorize Brivo to support and integrate credentials with the Apple technology to pass User information during the credential provisioning process in connection with Your use of the Brivo System, and to take such actions as may be necessary to support Your compliance with Your obligations set forth in the Apple Agreement and to comply with Brivo’s obligations under its agreement with Apple as a Participating Access Partner. 6. **Behavior Analytics.** Brivo collects information about Your use of the Site via the use of widely used information-gathering technologies, such as cookies and Web beacons (“**Web Site Navigational Information**”). Brivo also uses certain third party web analytics tools to collect and provide us with Web Site Navigational Information. Web Site Navigational Information includes standard information from Your Web browser (such as browser type and browser language); Your Internet Protocol (“**IP**”) address; and the actions You take on our Site, such as the pages viewed, links clicked, mouse movements, scrolling, information on pages visited, and content accessed on the Web Site. Brivo may also collect information about Your device such as device type (desktop, tablet, phone), screen resolution, language, and similar metadata. If You are located in Europe, Your IP address, keystroke activity, and other personal information collected automatically on the Site are never stored or shared with any third-parties. Such Web Site Navigational Information may be combined to analyze how the Brivo Service can be improved. 7. **Use of AI Features**. Brivo augments certain features of the Brivo Service using AI. The AI is generally used to enhance operational efficiency of the Brivo System for Customer. The AI models are either purpose built by Brivo or leverage a closed service operating with appropriate safeguards. Some AI augmented features of the Brivo Service (“**AI Features**”) are optional (e.g., Snap-shot, Anomaly Detection, Face-Credentials), while other AI Features used for retrieval augmented generation (e.g., Brivo Genius) are part of the standard Brivo Service offering. Customer may submit Customer Data (in the form of prompts or queries) to the AI Features (“**Inputs**“) and receive outputs from the AI Features (“**Outputs**“). Brivo may use Inputs and Outputs to train or otherwise improve the Brivo Service and AI Features, but only when such Inputs and Outputs are (a) only used for the benefit of Customer or (b) have been de-identified so that they do not identify Customer, its Users or any other person. Outputs generated through AI Features are not verified or guaranteed by Brivo to be strictly accurate. Customer should independently review and verify all Outputs as to appropriateness for any or all Customer use cases or applications. 4. **BRIVO SERVICE SLA** 1. **System Availability**.

The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required by law or legal process and any such disclosure will not constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided that the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such required disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. Brivo does not share, sell, rent or trade personally identifiable information with third parties for promotional purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Brivo may anonymize data Customer uploads to and/or stores via the Brivo System, aggregate such anonymized data with anonymized data of other users of the Brivo System, and use or disclose such anonymized data to third-parties. 3. **Remedies**. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of this Agreement, the Disclosing Party will have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the Parties that any such unauthorized disclosure may cause irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party and other available remedies may be inadequate. 7. **PRIVACY 1. **Privacy Policy**. Brivo does not sell, rent or trade Customer Data with third parties for promotional purposes without the Customer’s consent. For more information on how we protect Customer Data, please see the current version of the Brivo [Services Privacy Statement](https://www.brivo.com/services-privacy-statement) (the “**Privacy Policy**”) which may be found at the Brivo Website. The then-current version of the Privacy Policy is incorporated into this Agreement by this reference, and such policy is subject to change as provided therein. 2. **Personal Information**. Brivo may not sell any “Personal Information”, as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended from time to time, and any related regulations and guidance provided by the California Attorney General pertaining to the same (“**CCPA**”) without the data subject’s consent. The Parties agree that, for purposes of this Agreement, Brivo is a “Service Provider” (not a “third party”) to Customer pursuant to CCPA. 3. **Local Privacy and Data Protection.** Brivo undertakes no obligation to monitor Customer’s data collection, data use or data exporting practices in the context of data processing, data privacy, protection or similar laws of any U.S. State, locality or other jurisdiction (“**Local Laws**”). If, as a result of a change in any Local Laws or the promulgation of any new Local Laws applicable to Customer, Customer’s continued use of the Brivo System would subject Brivo to any different or additional obligation, then Customer will promptly inform Brivo in writing of such different or additional obligation. Brivo will inform Customer in writing, within 30 days of receipt of Customer’s notice, whether Brivo agrees to comply with such different or additional obligation (and if so, any conditions thereto). If Brivo does not agree to comply with such different or additional obligation, or if Brivo agrees to comply with such different or additional obligation on conditions not acceptable to Customer, Customer may elect to terminate this Agreement without penalty upon written notice to Brivo. Similarly, if Brivo learns of a change in any Local Laws or the promulgation of any new Local Laws applicable to Customer that would subject Brivo to any different or additional obligation with which Brivo does not comply, then Brivo may elect to terminate this Agreement without penalty upon written notice to Customer. 8. **DATA RETENTION** During Customer’s Subscription Period, Customer Data will be available for the period stipulated by Customer’s subscription plan, and any optional variable data retention selections made by Customer. For customers not using optional data retention selections, Customer Data shall be retained for one year longer than the retention period stipulated by the Customer’s subscription plan, and may be made available from Brivo via a professional service order, for an additional fee to be agreed upon in writing by Customer and Brivo or the applicable Brivo Reseller. Data stored via the Brivo System will be retained for the periods described in this Section unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law. Customer Data will automatically be deleted after expiration of the period stipulated by the Customer’s subscription plan. 9. **DISCLAIMERS** The Brivo System does not cause and cannot eliminate occurrences of the events they are intended to detect or avert, including unauthorized access to physical premises, robberies, burglaries or similar incidents.

Customer’s rights to access and use the Brivo System will automatically terminate at the end of the Subscription Period or earlier termination of this Agreement as provided below, and Customer acknowledges and agrees that upon such termination, Brivo may disable Customer’s access to and use of the Brivo System without liability. 2. **Termination by Brivo**. Brivo may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer or suspend Customer’s account within the Brivo System prior to the expiration of the Subscription Period if: (i) Customer breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days of receipt of written notice of such breach; (ii) Customer fails to pay when due any undisputed amount owed to a Brivo Reseller relating to this Agreement (subject to any applicable cure period set forth in a separate written agreement between Customer and the applicable Brivo Reseller); or (iii) if Customer becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. 3. **Termination by Customer**. Customer may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Brivo prior to the expiration of the Subscription Period if Brivo breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within 30 days of receipt of written notice of such breach, which notice must be delivered in accordance with the notice delivery provisions of Section 13 below. 4. **Customer Data**. Following a request by Customer made before or within 14 days after the effective date of termination or expiration, Brivo will make available to Customer for download a file of certain of Customer’s Customer Data relating to credentialed Users, in pipe delimited (CSV) format for data. User photos can optionally be provided at Brivo’s then-current standard charges therefore. After such 14-day period, provided that Brivo has complied with its obligations to make available to Customer the aforementioned Customer Data file following a request by Customer made within 14 days after the effective date of termination or expiration, Brivo will have no obligation to maintain or provide to Customer any of its Customer Data and shall within 30 days, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data in its systems or otherwise in its possession. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is Customer’s responsibility to download and retain any other Customer Data prior to expiration or termination of the Subscription Period. 5. **Survival**. The obligations of the parties under this Agreement that by their nature would continue beyond expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall survive any such expiration, termination or cancellation, including Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 9 through 13 (inclusive). 13. **MISCELLANEOUS** 1. **Choice of Law**. This Agreement will, in all respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, United States of America (excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of International Goods), without regard to any conflicts of laws principles which may result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE UNIFORM COMPUTER TRANSACTIONS ACT OR ANY VERSION THEREOF, ADOPTED BY ANY STATE, IN ANY FORM (“UCITA”), WILL NOT APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT THAT UCITA IS APPLICABLE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO OPT OUT OF THE APPLICABILITY OF UCITA PURSUANT TO THE OPT-OUT PROVISION(S) CONTAINED THEREIN. Any suit, action or proceeding arising in connection with or relating to this Agreement will be brought only in the state or federal courts sitting in the State of Maryland and Customer hereby expressly submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any such suit, action, or proceeding. 2. **Entire Agreement**. This Agreement, the Documentation, the Privacy Policy and any other written agreement between Customer and Brivo relating to the Brivo System is the entire agreement between Customer and Brivo relating to the Brivo System and: (i) supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to its subject matter and (ii) prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or similar communications between the Parties. Customer acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement, it has not relied on any representations or warranties other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, if any. Certain other products and services offered by Brivo are subject to separate terms and conditions established from time to time by Brivo or third-party providers. If Customer and Brivo have entered into a separate written agreement governing Customer’s access to and use of the Brivo System that has been signed and dated by a duly authorized representative of Brivo and that states that it supersedes this Agreement, then that separate written agreement will supersede this Agreement and will govern Customer’s access to and use of the Brivo System. During the term of this Agreement, this Agreement will supersede any click-through or online terms of use or service that apply to the Brivo System. 3. **Severability.** If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the Parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. If the Parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement, then (i) such provision will be excluded from this Agreement; (ii) the balance of the Agreement will be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement will be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 4. **System Adjustments; Amendments**. Brivo reserves the right to change or discontinue the Brivo System or change or remove features or functionality of the Brivo System from time to time; provided that Brivo will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer at least 120 days’ prior written notice of any discontinuation or change or removal of features or functionality that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Customer’s access to or use of the Brivo System. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by Brivo upon written notice to Customer. The then-current version of this Agreement is available to Customer at the Brivo Website (and the Brivo System). Customer acknowledges and agrees that the posting of amendments to or amended or restated versions of this Agreement at the Brivo Website, the Brivo System or by email message will constitute written notice to Customer of such amendments. By continuing to use the Brivo System after the effective date of any amendments to this Agreement, Customer agrees to be bound by the amended terms. 5. **Force Majeure**. Brivo will have no liability under this Agreement to the extent that it is delayed, prevented or hindered in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement due to the occurrence or existence of any circumstance or event that would constitute or result in any Force Majeure Event. 6. **Assignment**. Customer may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, including by merger, consolidation or acquisition of a controlling interest in a Party, without the prior written consent of Brivo, except (i) to an affiliate that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Customer or (ii) to a successor in interest in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Customer. Any attempt by Customer to assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder in violation of this Section will be null and void and shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 7. **Transfer of Account**. If Customer is current and in compliance with all of its contractual obligations to its then-current Brivo Reseller, Customer may request the transfer of its account for the Brivo System to another Brivo Reseller. Any account transfer will be effected by Brivo in accordance with Brivo’s then-current policies and procedures relating to Customer account transfers. 8. **Waiver**. No rights of Brivo or breach by Customer of any provision of this Agreement will be waived by any act, omission, delay or knowledge of Brivo, except by a written document executed by a duly authorized representative of Brivo. Any waiver on one occasion will not constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent occasions. 9. **Governmental Use**. Brivo provides the Brivo System, including related software and technology, for ultimate federal government end use solely in accordance with the following: Government technical data and software rights related to the Brivo System include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined in this Agreement. This customary commercial license is provided in accordance with FAR 12.211 (Technical Data) and FAR 12.212 (Software) and, for Department of Defense transactions, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data – Commercial Items) and DFAR 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Computer Software Documentation). If a government agency has a need for rights not granted under these terms, it must negotiate with Brivo to determine if there are acceptable terms for granting those rights, and a mutually acceptable written addendum specifically granting those rights must be included in any applicable agreement. 10. **Not Insurance**. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Brivo is not an insurer and that Brivo is not providing Customer with insurance of any type. The amounts Customer pays Brivo or a Brivo Reseller are not insurance premiums and are not related to the value of Customer’s physical facilities or property, anyone else’s property located at Customer’s physical facilities or any risk of loss or injury at Customer’s physical facilities. Rather, the amounts Customer pays Brivo or a Brivo Reseller are based solely on the value of Customer’s subscription to the Brivo System, which is provided subject to the express limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement. If Customer desires insurance to protect against risk of loss or injury at or to its physical facilities, Customer will need to separately purchase such. 11. **Illegality**. Each Party represents and warrants to the other that it has not received or been offered any illegal or improper bribe, kickback, payment, gift, or thing of value from any of the other’s employees or agents in connection with this Agreement.

If either Party learns of any violation of the above restriction, it will use reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other Party in writing. 12. **Export Compliance**.

Brivo may update the email or address for notices by posting a notice on the Brivo Website or by sending a message to the email address then associated with Customer’s account. Notices sent by Customer to Brivo are effective upon receipt by Brivo. 15. **Construction**. The captions and article and section headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The term “including” as used herein means “including without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and similar terms refer to the Agreement as a whole, rather than any particular provision.

Nevertheless, Brivo is committed to making our website accessible to visitors with legitimate interests in the site, including those with disabilities. Consistent with this goal, we have taken several steps to enhance our site and increase its usability by those who access the web using assistive technology. Our efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.1, Level AA (WCAG 2.1 AA). We will continue to enhance our digital assets to deliver accessible experiences. If you experience difficulty accessing our website content, you may reach out to 866-692-7486 for assistance and to provide feedback. To fulfill our commitment to accessibility, these guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities and more. This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs. Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments. #### **Screen-reader and keyboard navigation** Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements: 1. **Screen-reader optimization:** we run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website. These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. 2. **Keyboard navigation optimization:** The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing the focus to drift outside. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements. #### **Disability profiles supported on our website** - **Epilepsy Safe Profile:** this profile enables people with epilepsy to safely use the website by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations. - **Vision Impaired Profile:** this profile adjusts the website so that it is accessible to the majority of visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others. - **Cognitive Disability Profile:** this profile provides various assistive features to help users with cognitive disabilities such as Autism, Dyslexia, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements more easily. - **ADHD Friendly Profile**: this profile significantly reduces distractions and noise to help people with ADHD, and Neurodevelopmental disorders browse, read, and focus on the essential elements more easily. - **Blind Users Profile (Screen-readers):** this profile adjusts the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is installed on the blind user’s computer, and this site is compatible with it. - **Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired):** this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements. #### **Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments** 1. **Font adjustments –** users can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more. 2. **Color adjustments –** users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring options. 3. **Animations –** epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions. 4. **Content highlighting –** users can choose to emphasize essential elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only. 5. **Audio muting –** users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly. 6. **Cognitive disorders –** we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others. 7. **Additional functions –** we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions. #### **Assistive technology and browser compatibility** We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users. #### **Notes, comments, and feedback** Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to contact the website’s owner, please use the following email #### **Product** At Brivo, we believe our products should be easy to use for everyone. We are in the process of making our products accessible and conformant with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) level AA and the European Accessibility Act (EAA). This is an ongoing, iterative effort, and includes making features keyboard and screen reader friendly, and having sufficient color contrast, simple instructions, and legible font sizes. We’d be happy to hear your feedback on our products’ accessibility. If you encounter any issues, please email . --- ### [Brivo Services Privacy Statement](https://www.brivo.com/services-privacy-statement/) **Published:** June 27, 2026 **Author:** Chris Kendall **Content:** # Brivo Services Privacy Statement **Last Update and Effective:** March 29, 2024 At Brivo©, privacy and security are core elements of our service. This Brivo Services Privacy Statement (the “Privacy Statement”) describes Brivo’s privacy practices in relation to the data Brivo receives through the use of hardware, services and applications provided by Brivo (collectively, the “Brivo System”). Brivo Systems LLC and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this Privacy Statement as “Brivo”. This Privacy Statement applies to the following: - Personal information that a Customer’s Administrator, or Brivo Reseller, inputs, or uploads or that is otherwise captured by the Brivo System; - Activity and event data that is automatically collected by Customers using the Brivo System; and, - Personal information acquired by or captured about Customers, their users, and visitors, in order to establish or maintain their business relationship with Brivo. Collectively this is considered “Customer Data”. **Capitalized terms used, but not defined in the Statement, shall have the meanings given in Section 1 (Definitions) of the Brivo Applications Terms of use.** **Roles of Customers, Resellers and Brivo in Protection of Customer Data** Brivo provides the Brivo System to Customers via its Reseller channel. Resellers selected by the Customer handle the initial setup and configuration of the Customer’s Brivo account. Customers can choose what data to share with the Reseller and/or Brivo during the set-up process. After the initial set-up, the Customer’s access to the Brivo System is limited to its authorized Administrators. Customers are responsible for verifying that all individuals who are designated as Administrators are authorized by the Customer for the levels of access granted. In general, Brivo recommends that the Customer designate an employee of the Customer to be the Primary Administrator. If the Customer chooses to permit an individual who is not an employee of the Customer (such as, for example, an employee of a Reseller to have any administrative rights or other access or privileges to the Customer’s account or Customer Data), the Customer is responsible for monitoring the third party’s access to and use of the account and Customer Data. Brivo is not responsible for any unauthorized use or misuse of the Customer’s account access, account privileges or Customer Data by anyone using access provided by the Customer. Certain Brivo employees also will have access to Customer Data, solely in connection with the provision of the Brivo System and to respond to specific Customer and Brivo Reseller requests for technical support. Brivo will access Customer Data only for the purposes of providing the Brivo System, preventing, or addressing service or technical problems, in accordance with the provisions of any separate written agreement between Brivo and Customer (such as, for example, the Brivo terms of use applicable to the Brivo System (the “Terms of Use”)), or as may be required by law. **COLLECTION AND USE OF CUSTOMER DATA** Brivo collects and processes all Customer Data strictly on behalf of Customers in accordance with Brivo’s contractual agreements with them and/or as defined in the Terms of Use and/or as required or permitted by law. Customers are responsible for ensuring that Customer Data is collected and processed in accordance with all applicable laws. Since Customer Data is managed by the Customer, the Customer is responsible for providing appropriate notice and choice regarding Brivo’s processing of Customer Data on behalf of the Customer. If an individual has any questions or concerns related to Brivo’s handling of Customer Data pertaining to them, he or she may contact us at and we will work with the applicable Customer to address the concern. Brivo may also collect personal information from Customer employees, contractors, or agents in order to properly manage Brivo’s business relationship with Customer. Customers will receive login credentials to manage their Brivo System accounts, including such personal information. **Types of Customer Data Collected Related to the Brivo System** Brivo collects the following types of Customer Data: - **Information provided by Customers:** The Brivo System provides the capability for Customers to store basic personal information such as an individual’s name, credential number, email address and photograph. This information is used to correlate events to the correct individual, as well as to enable notifications and mobile application functionality. The Customer is solely responsible for determining if storage of this data is appropriate and permitted in the context of applicable laws and regulations. - **Information generated from security events:** The Brivo System is used by the Customer to collect activity and event data. For example, the Customer can use the Brivo System to record that an access credential was used at a particular door at a certain time. Through correlation with the information a Customer provides, Brivo may be able to tie an access event to a particular individual’s credential. - **Log Information:** The Brivo System records the actions of Administrators, as well as the status and the settings of various devices that have been configured to operate with the Brivo System. Log information may be used by the Customer to review the activity of Administrators. - **Mobile Applications:** Brivo provides mobile applications which can optionally be used with the Brivo System. The Brivo Mobile App provides administrative access to the Brivo System. Brivo Mobile Pass is a form of digital credential used, for example, to authorize physical access to a building. Brivo uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to identify when the device is within proximity to applicable available Brivo readers to open the proper lock or door. In order to use the services of the Brivo Mobile App, various features such as location services, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communication must be activated on the mobile device. **Customer Data may be used by Brivo to:** - Enable event notifications and Brivo Mobile Pass functionality. - Contact the Customer to inform them of product and service enhancements that Brivo thinks may be of interest to them. - Provide important service notices regarding the Brivo System and related devices. (While Customers use Brivo System services, it will not be possible to opt out of communications regarding Brivo System service notices.) - Ask the Customer to participate in surveys that help Brivo better understand the Customer’s needs in order to improve Brivo products and services. Brivo also shares data with relevant third-party service providers when explicitly authorized by Administrators in the relevant Brivo System account; for example, to enable integrations via Brivo’s Application Programming Interface (API). **Compliance with General Data Protection Directive (GDPR) Application of the GDPR for Brivo:** In the context of the GDPR, individual residents in the European Economic Area with data stored in the Brivo System or using Brivo applications are considered “Data Subjects.” Customers (and in some cases Brivo Resellers or Brivo API Partners) are considered “Data Controllers.” Brivo is generally a “Data Processor” but can also be a sub-Processor with respect to Customer Data. Brivo is a Data Controller with respect to User Private Data, as defined in the Terms of Use – Brivo Subscription Services. Brivo’s obligations with respect to User Privacy Data are as set forth in the End User License Agreement – Brivo Mobile Apps. In Brivo’s role as a Data Processor, Brivo is the responsible custodian of the Data Subject’s data, performing this role on behalf of the Data Controller. The Data Controller is completely responsible for determining what data is captured, stored, and processed within the Brivo System. Brivo does not share, sell, rent or trade personally identifiable information with third parties unless directed by a Data Controller. Within Brivo’s service model, most Data Subjects will have limited direct interaction with the Brivo System applications that capture and store their data. This interaction by Data Subjects will primarily be via the Brivo Mobile Pass application. Most Data Subjects will be employees, visitors, or contractors of the Data Controller. Data is captured based on their relationship with the Data Controller. The Data Controller is responsible for gaining necessary consent from the Data Subject regarding the data to be stored. In cases where a Data Subject requests Customer Data to be deleted from the Brivo System, Brivo will refer such request to the Data Controller for adjudication. The GDPR includes provisions that grant Data Subjects portability rights in their personal data. Brivo will coordinate with Data Controllers and, as applicable Data Subjects, when requested to delete or port data. Brivo provides portability and is continually working to enhance its data export capabilities. **GDPR Right of Individual Access and Limited Use** Those residing within the European Economic Area may request access, correct or to limit the use of their personal information within the Brivo System by submitting a request to Brivo at or by contacting us as set forth below. **Information Security** Brivo maintains a comprehensive, written information security program that contains industry standard, administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access to Customer Data. Brivo has the distinction of being one of the first building security platforms to be SOC 2 audited and being the first physical security software-as-a-service (SaaS) company to utilize the SSAE 16/18 framework to provide security review. Brivo undertakes an independent third-party annual SOC 2 audit that reviews certain of its internal controls and processes. Brivo also is certified under ISO27001. Brivo recognizes that the GDPR will help it move towards the highest standards of operations in protecting Customer data. **Law Enforcement Requests** Brivo may be required to disclose an individual’s personal information in response to a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. **Data Location & Transfer of Information** Brivo stores all Customer Data in the continental United States or Europe depending on the instance you use. To facilitate Customers’ global operations, Brivo transfers some information to the United States and provides access to that information to Customers around the world. **Accountability for Onward Transfer of Personal Data** Except as otherwise provided herein, Brivo may share personal information with third parties in connection with the operation of our business and consistent with the purpose for which the personal information was collected. **Data Retention** Brivo retains Customer Data according to the time frames set forth in the Terms of Use – Brivo Subscription Services. **Data Incidents** If Brivo becomes aware of any improper access, unauthorized use, or disclosure of Customer Data (a “Data Breach”), Brivo will analyze the facts of the Data Breach in the context of applicable laws, regulations, policies, and contractual obligations to determine the appropriate notification process. Brivo will conduct notifications in a timely manner after becoming aware of a Data Breach and take reasonable steps to minimize harm and mitigate further risks to Customer Data. For data transfers to the U.S. from the European Union, the UK (and Gibraltar) or Switzerland, Brivo adheres to the Data Privacy Framework Principles.
