Brivo Access Control Service: Revolutionizing Security Management
Brivo Cloud Access Control — Integrate Access & Video, Manage From Anywhere
Modernize building security with Brivo’s cloud platform: mobile credentials, real-time alerts, and multi-site management without on-prem servers—designed, installed, and supported by Avenger Security.
What is Brivo?
Brivo is a cloud-based access control platform that centralizes doors, users, schedules, and events in a secure web dashboard and mobile app. It replaces legacy servers with always-up-to-date software and encrypted communications.
Core capabilities
- Remote administration: Add users, assign roles, set schedules, and unlock doors from any browser or phone.
- Mobile credentials: Replace plastic badges with secure phone-based access (no printers or card stock to manage).
- Real-time monitoring & alerts: See live events, receive door-forced/held notifications, and trigger responses quickly.
- Video integration: View live and recorded clips alongside access events for faster investigations.
- APIs & integrations: Connect visitor management, identity providers (SSO/SCIM), and building systems.
- Scalability: Manage one site or hundreds with unified policies and reporting.
- Data security: Encrypted traffic and role-based permissions protect credentials and event history.
Where Brivo excels
- Multi-site businesses: Standardize badges, rules, and reporting across all locations.
- Property management: Streamline tenant/staff access, temporary credentials, and audit trails.
- Education & nonprofits: Role-based access by building, lab, or schedule.
- Coworking & fitness: Automate member onboarding and time-boxed access.
Why cloud over on-prem?
- Lower overhead: No servers to buy, patch, or back up.
- Faster updates: New features and security patches arrive automatically.
- Anywhere access: Manage doors and users from your phone or laptop.

FAQs
Do I need new hardware? Many sites upgrade to modern controllers/readers for mobile credentials and better security. We’ll reuse existing hardware when appropriate.
Can I use phones and cards? Yes. Run mobile credentials alongside cards/fobs during transition.
Does Brivo work with video? Yes—see camera footage next to door events and automate video bookmarks on alarms.
What if we add locations? Add new sites in the same dashboard and apply the same roles and policies.
