Brivo Access Control: Enhancing Home and Business Security

50% of businesses and 32% of charities in the UK reported having faced a cyber-attack or security breach, according to the UK Government Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2024. Despite this, many UK businesses still rely on outdated access control systems that are difficult to manage, vulnerable to online attack, and impossible to control off-site.

Brivo access control brings everything together (physical access control, mobile credentials, visitor logs, and video monitoring) in one secure cloud-based platform built for remote control, instant updates, and seamless scaling across sites.

As certified Brivo installers, i2 Security & Fire Protection helps homes and businesses replace legacy systems with smart security that protects your property, cuts admin time, and keeps you one step ahead of cybercrime.

Read on to discover why thousands of UK homes and businesses choose Brivo access control systems to transform their security infrastructure.

What is Brivo Access Control?

Brivo access control, also called Brivo Access, is a leading cloud access control solution that lets you monitor and manage access at scale. It supports cloud-based control, mobile credentials, video intelligence, visitor and credential management, and data analytics.

Cloud-Based Centralised Control

Brivo Access allows administrators to manage all locations through one secure, browser-based dashboard with full remote access from any connected device. It removes the need for on-site servers and local software installations, which simplifies remote management and reduces operational costs.

System updates, access rights, and video monitoring are all controlled in the cloud. This centralised architecture provides complete visibility and control from any internet-connected device.

Video Intelligence and Visitor Management

Brivo Access Cam connects video footage (live and recorded) to access events so security teams can instantly see what happened.

The Brivo visitor management system, known as Brivo Visitor, automates sign-in and sign-out and provides badge printing. It also allows pre-registration of guests, records visitor details, and helps businesses stay compliant while maintaining a professional image.

Smart Credential Management and Data Analytics

Brivo Access lets administrators expire unused credentials, assign user roles, issue arming or disarming commands remotely, track occupancy and display real-time building usage data to help prevent theft and improve safety.

Brivo’s Data Explorer tool is a business intelligence system that gives users valuable insight through detailed reports that help with resource planning and other data-led decisions.

Trusted Cybersecurity Standards

Brivo Access uses proven security protocols, including AES 256-bit encryption and a 4096-bit key for the ACS6000 and ACS300 controllers. The Onair Cloud service provides additional built-in protection against DDoS attacks and malicious bots.

Brivo is committed to security and compliance and undertakes an annual SOC 2 audit by an independent third party to review its internal controls and processes.

Mobile Access and Credentials

Brivo access control turns smartphones into secure access tools by storing credentials in Apple Wallet or the Brivo Mobile Pass app, eliminating the need for physical keycards.
