Brivo access control install for office space Long Beach

We install and service Brivo cloud access control across Los Angeles. Office buildings in Century City. Mixed-use towers in DTLA. Multifamily in Santa Monica and Culver City. Healthcare suites in Beverly Hills. Our team handles the full stack, from the Brivo controller in the IT room to the electrified panic bar on the lobby door.

Brivo is the platform we lead with. It’s the most mature cloud access control system on the market, with over two decades of integrator history, a clean open API, and deep property management integrations. We also work with Avigilon Alta, Verkada, Kisi, and 2N IP intercoms, so if your property already has a preference, we can match it. Brivo is what we recommend for most LA commercial and multifamily jobs.

Why LA Properties Run Brivo

Mobile Pass on Every Phone

Brivo Mobile Pass works over Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet. Tenants tap their phone to unlock. Apple Watch works too. Most Brivo upgrades keep the existing readers in place, so you can roll out mobile credentials without a full hardware swap.

Brivo Snapshot AI

Every unlock can pair to a short clip from the nearest camera. If a credentialed user hands their phone to someone else, Snapshot shows the mismatch in seconds. It’s one of the few AI tools in physical security that isn’t marketing hype.

Eagle Eye Unified Suite

Brivo merged with Eagle Eye Networks in December 2025. Brivo access now ships with a real cloud video option out of the box. One login, one portal, unified investigations across access events and camera footage.

Identity Connector

Brivo Identity Connector syncs Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google Workspace. When HR deprovisions an employee, door access ends the same minute. No IT tickets, no manual revocations. This is the feature LA creative and tech offices ask for most.

Property Management Tie-Ins

Brivo ties into Yardi Voyager, Entrata, RealPage, and Rent Manager. Leasing staff can grant, revoke, or time-window tenant access from the same tool they already use. No separate door database to maintain.

Certifications That Matter

SOC 2 Type II audited. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. CSA STAR Level 1. NDAA Section 889 compliant hardware. If your lease, insurance, or legal team asks, Brivo has the paperwork.

Property Types We Install For

Commercial Offices

Century City towers. Santa Monica creative space. DTLA lofts. We wire Brivo at the lobby, elevator lobby, and suite doors. Single sign-on from Okta or Entra is standard on Class A deployments. Visitor Management through Envoy is the usual add.

Multifamily Residential

Condo buildings. Apartment complexes. HOA gated properties. Brivo Multifamily ties into Yardi, Entrata, and RealPage. Tenants unlock the gate, lobby, amenity rooms, and mail room from their phone. Move-ins and move-outs happen in the same tool leasing already uses.

Healthcare and Dental

Granular per-door policy for pharmacy storage, records rooms, and clinical zones. Audit logs run clean for HIPAA reviews. We pair electrified mortise locks with Brivo on clinic interior doors so key control stays tight.

Industrial and Warehouse

Outdoor-rated readers on the loading dock. Gate integration through a dry contact output. License plate credentials through the Eagle Eye feed for truck yards. Shift-based access schedules for warehouse floors.

Retail, Gyms, and Self-Storage

24-hour member access without front desk staff. Single-door ACS300 controller keeps the footprint small per site. For multi-location retail, Brivo Global View manages every store from one dashboard.

K-12 and Campus

Lockdown mode at the touch of a button. Time zones for bell schedules. Envoy visitor pre-registration with government ID scans. FERPA-compliant audit retention. Typical deployment starts at 30 to 40 doors per campus.

Brivo Hardware We Install

Controllers and Panels

  • ACS300: two-door controller, 5,000 users, 50,000 event buffer. Good for single-tenant commercial spaces.
  • ACS6000 / ACS6100: enterprise panels, up to 30 doors each, 100,000 users. Used for multi-floor and multi-tenant builds.
  • ACS-SDC: single-door Ethernet with OSDP. The go-to for small standalone installs.
  • Mercury LP4502: for properties already running Mercury hardware, Brivo layers on top without a rip-and-replace.

Readers and Credentials

  • Brivo Smart Readers (B-SS, B-BSK, B-BSPS): OSDP, Mobile Pass, smart card, 125kHz prox. Mullion or single-gang.
  • Brivo iWATCHER Plus: all-in-one reader with controller built in, for single-door budget installs.
  • Brivo Tri-Tech Reader with Keypad: for tenants who still want PIN access alongside mobile.
  • Allegion NDE, LE, XE360: wireless locks paired through the Brivo Engage Gateway, for doors where running conduit isn’t practical.

Door Hardware Compatibility

Brivo controllers drive any standard access-control output. Wiegand, OSDP, and dry or wet contact all work. That means you can keep the door hardware you already have, or upgrade to new devices without swapping the controller. Here’s what we install with Brivo in LA:

Hardware Class Typical Products Used For
Electric strikes HES 1006, HES 9600, Von Duprin 6100, Adams Rite 7400 Perimeter doors, suite entries, exit devices without electrified bars
Magnetic locks 600 lb and 1,200 lb mag locks, indoor and outdoor pairs Double doors, amenity rooms, fail-safe doors where code allows
Electrified panic bars Von Duprin 98/99 EL, Von Duprin QEL (quiet latch), Precision Apex, Sargent 8800 High-traffic exits, stairwells, rear doors with code-required egress
Electrified mortise Sargent 8200 EL, Schlage L9000 with solenoid Executive offices, server rooms, clinic interior
ADA automatic operators LCN 4642, Stanley Magic Force, Norton 6000 Lobby push-plate entries, hands-free suite doors
Wireless smart locks Allegion Schlage NDE, LE, XE360; ASSA ABLOY Aperio Interior rooms where running conduit isn’t practical
Egress and safety REX motion sensors, fire alarm interlock relays, delayed egress per CBC 1010.1.9 Code-required release on fire event, motion-based free egress

Power is 12V or 24V DC depending on the device. We typically spec LifeSafety Power FPO75 or FPO150 supplies with battery backup. For any door, we verify fire code and egress compliance before we cut a single wire.

Elevator Control with Brivo

Brivo runs elevator access through Braxos, their certified elevator integration partner. Braxos connects Brivo to Otis, KONE, Schindler, and TK Elevator, including destination dispatch on modern banks and traditional floor-by-floor on older cabs.

The install works like this:

  • A reader in the cab or at the elevator lobby scans the tenant’s credential.
  • Brivo sends the floor permission to the Braxos middleware.
  • Braxos hands the call off to the elevator control system, which dispatches the cab to the authorized floor.
  • Public floors like the lobby, parking, or amenity levels can be set unrestricted during business hours and locked down after.

We do the design and the elevator service company handles the mechanical side. Both companies are on site on go-live day. Retrofits on older cabs usually take one day per bank. New construction integrates during elevator commissioning.

Brivo Add-Ons and Integrations

Brivo Native Add-Ons

  • Brivo Door Station (B-DS1-B): one PoE unit with reader, video intercom, and AI facial auth. Replaces two or three separate devices at a typical commercial entry.
  • Brivo Mobile Pass and Wallet Pass: standard on every Brivo account. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet supported.
  • Brivo Snapshot: AI pairs video with access events so admins can verify the credentialed user is the actual person at the door.
  • Brivo Visitor Management: runs on Envoy inside the Brivo account. Pre-register a visitor, send a Mobile Pass with a time window, done.
  • Brivo Smart Home Gateway: for multifamily. Controls unit locks, thermostats, and lights from the tenant app.
  • Brivo Identity Connector: Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Workday, BambooHR, ADP.

Certified Third-Party Integrations

  • 2N IP Verso, IP Force, IP Style: certified intercom integration with Brivo. We install the 2N panel, Brivo reads the credential or unlock command, and the cloud handles the rest.
  • Eagle Eye Networks cloud video: unified with Brivo since the December 2025 merger. Cameras and access in one view.
  • Envoy: native visitor management partner.
  • Yardi Voyager, Entrata, RealPage, Rent Manager: multifamily property management.
  • Allegion Schlage Engage (NDE, LE, XE360): wireless office lock family.
  • ASSA ABLOY Aperio: wireless online and offline locks.
  • Braxos: elevator control for Otis, KONE, Schindler, TK.
Note on DoorBird: we install DoorBird IP intercoms often, and we install Brivo often, but they don’t share an official integration. For clients who want a DoorBird front entry paired with a Brivo back of house, we wire the two to share the strike through a relay. Works well, just not through one portal.

Brivo vs Verkada vs Avigilon Alta

Most LA property owners are choosing between three platforms. Here’s the short take:

Feature Brivo Verkada Avigilon Alta
Cloud-native history 20+ years Since 2016 Since 2019 (ex-Openpath)
Mobile credentials Mobile Pass, Wallet, BLE, NFC Verkada Pass Wave-to-unlock (best in class)
Video fusion Eagle Eye merged Dec 2025 Verkada cameras native Avigilon cameras native
Property mgmt sync Yardi, Entrata, RealPage Limited None native
Hardware openness OSDP + Mercury + third party Verkada hardware only Alta hardware only
Best fit Multifamily, multi-site commercial Small single-site office Mobile-first modern workplace

Brivo wins for multifamily, multi-site commercial, and anyone who wants open hardware. Verkada wins if you want a single vendor for cameras and doors in a small office. Avigilon Alta has the slickest mobile unlock. We quote whichever one fits the building.

Our Install Process

  1. Site walk. We visit the property, count doors, check existing wiring, and test the IDF. Usually takes an hour.
  2. System design. You get a proposal with the controller list, reader types, lock hardware, and the monthly Brivo fee. No hidden line items.
  3. Pre-wire and rough-in. For new construction or renovation, we pull cable before the drywall goes up. For retrofit, we use existing conduit wherever possible.
  4. Install and commissioning. Controllers in the IDF. Readers on each door. Power supplies with battery backup. We test every door against the access schedule before we leave.
  5. Admin training. A 30-minute walkthrough of the Brivo dashboard for your facilities or property management team. Most admins are running the system the same day.
  6. Ongoing service. We keep your account details on file. One call resolves most issues remotely. On-site service within one business day across LA, OC, and San Diego.

Typical timeline for a 5 to 20-door commercial install is 1 to 5 working days once the controllers arrive. Multifamily retrofits of 50 or more units run 2 to 4 weeks in phases so tenants aren’t locked out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Brivo secure and how is my data protected?

Brivo is SOC 2 Type II audited and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Credentials live in Brivo’s cloud, not on the local controllers, which actually reduces the attack surface compared to old on-premise servers that never get patched. Hardware meets NDAA Section 889.

Can tenants use their phone to unlock doors?

Yes. Brivo Mobile Pass works over Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, Apple Wallet, and Google Wallet. Apple Watch works too. Most Brivo readers accept both mobile and traditional cards, so you can roll out phone credentials without forcing a company-wide switch.

Does Brivo work with elevators?

Yes, through the Braxos integration. Braxos connects Brivo to Otis, KONE, Schindler, and TK Elevator, including destination dispatch on modern banks and traditional floor-by-floor on older cabs. We wire the reader in the cab or lobby, Brivo sends the floor permission, Braxos dispatches the cab.

What locks and door hardware does Brivo support?

Anything with a standard access-control input. That includes electric strikes (HES, Von Duprin), magnetic locks (600 lb and 1,200 lb), electrified panic bars (Von Duprin 99 EL, 99 QEL, Sargent 8800), electrified mortise (Sargent 8200, Schlage L9000), wireless locks (Schlage NDE, LE, XE360; ASSA ABLOY Aperio), and ADA automatic operators (LCN 4642, Stanley Magic Force, Norton).

How long does installation take?

5 to 20-door commercial jobs run 1 to 5 working days once the controllers arrive. Multifamily retrofits of 50 or more units run 2 to 4 weeks in phases so tenants aren’t locked out. New construction wiring is done during the rough-in phase, and commissioning takes a day.

Does Brivo integrate with DoorBird or 2N intercoms?

2N yes, DoorBird not officially. We install 2N IP Verso, IP Force, and IP Style panels as a certified Brivo integration. DoorBird is a separate stack with its own portal. For clients who want a DoorBird front door paired with a Brivo back of house, we wire them to share the strike through a relay. Works well, not one app.
