Industry News Brivo Apartment Security and Automation March 31, 2026 Brivo's cloud-based access control system is transforming multifamily security with mobile-ready credentials, customized security reporting, and smart apartment features that increase resident attraction and retention. When it comes to security in multi-family buildings and complexes, a combination of different security systems is required to keep all residents, visitors, and employees safe at all times. What Is Brivo? Cloud technology has allowed for a trend towards using remote and mobile credentials for access control, and Brivo is a company that has fully embraced this expansion. Brivo is a cloud-based software provider specializing in feature-rich, cost-effective solutions for commercial or residential building owners who are looking to upgrade from an older, on-premises system to a modern, integrated access control system. Brivo specializes in remotely securing your buildings and safeguarding your data, customers, and employees, all while reducing the complexity of a physical access control system. With a single integrated platform, users can manage visitor access, monitor the building, grant or revoke authorization, create schedules, watch recorded or live video surveillance, view reports, and much more. Features of Brivo's Multi-Family Technology Mobile-Ready User Interface With a mobile app that is easy to use, users can control virtually everything from their smartphones — managing visitor access, setting user permissions, and creating groups with specific access levels. By allowing residents to use their mobile device as their credentials, Brivo eliminates the need for metal keys and plastic key cards. Secure Encryption Brivo uses the same level of encryption as any server-based access control system, but because your account is in the cloud, it also provides enhanced encryption for mobile devices without jeopardizing security. All communication between a user's device and your access control server takes place in the cloud. Customized Security Reporting Brivo provides property owners with additional customization options for security reports. You can also tether a real-time video feed to your activity log by integrating your security camera system with your access control system.
