We are the national leader in multifamily low voltage smart apartment, door access, video surveillance, community-wide WiFi, intrusion and fire protection systems. From luxury high-rises to garden-style communities, this is what we do.
Brivo is purpose-built for multifamily, it supports thousands of doors, residents, and credentials on a single cloud platform. Residents use their smartphone as their key, eliminating the cost and security risk of physical fob management. When a resident moves out, you revoke their access instantly from your phone. No locksmiths, no rekeying, no delays. As the largest Brivo dealer in the Midwest, Watchmen has deployed more Brivo systems in multifamily properties than any other integrator in the region.
A smart apartment package typically includes a mobile-controlled door lock, smart thermostat with remote management, in-unit leak detection, and the network infrastructure to support all of it. From the resident's perspective, it's a single app that controls their unit. From management's perspective, it's a property dashboard that lets you monitor HVAC setpoints, get leak alerts, and remotely grant access to maintenance teams, reducing service costs and improving resident satisfaction scores.
The core platform is the same, Brivo's unified cloud security platform covering access control, cameras, and smart apartment technology, but the deployment is scaled and configured to match the property type. High-rise towers require more vertical coverage, elevator integration, and structured parking solutions. Garden-style properties require perimeter coverage, distributed access points at building entries, and often more emphasis on outdoor common area cameras. Our team has deployed both at scale and designs each system to the specific property.
Yes, and this is actually where we add the most value. Working with developers and general contractors during the design-build phase allows us to run conduit in the right locations, spec the right infrastructure, and avoid costly retrofits. We work directly with your architect and GC to ensure low voltage systems are coordinated from day one. Many of our flagship multifamily relationships started during the construction phase.
Absolutely. Our managed services include 24/7 professional monitoring, proactive system health checks, software updates, and a dedicated support line for property management teams. We also provide on-site training for leasing and maintenance staff and can configure system access for your regional management team. Multifamily is a long-term relationship, we're invested in your property's success beyond the installation.
