As the locksmith Houston trusts most; Guardian Safe & Lock performs more than traditional commercial locksmith work. We also install cloud-based Brivo access control systems for access control Houston can rely on to modernize their business security. More and more, Houston area business owners are shifting away from only relying on traditional lock-and-key systems for security and are choosing to also install access control systems.
Access control systems are custom-built systems of security and computer hardware designed to do exactly as they’re named; control access to your facility. This is usually accomplished with key cards, key fobs, user PIN codes with a keypad, or even over a Bluetooth connection with a cellular device. Access control installation can cut costs for your business and save you time as a busy entrepreneur while both improving security and giving you peace of mind.
Just as access control systems are unique to each installation, Guardian Safe & Lock recognizes Brivo is unique among their competition in the industry.
Cloud Based Access Control
Brivo, Inc. offers something that has somewhat recently revolutionized the security industry: cloud based access control. Access control is typically administered and managed from a computer on-site that’s wired into the local network and running the software locally. Brivo moves the “brains” of their system from this local PC to the cloud, a series of connected servers that exist off-site and secured with their technology.
This means two things for you, the end-user. The first is that the system’s “brains” are no longer physically present. This makes it physical impossible for thieves to steal or damage the hardware and undo the security provided. It also means that technical issues, like a failing hard drive on a local computer or a missed firmware update, are also fully eliminated.
Secondly, this means that with a Brivo cloud based access control system, you can view and administer the system from anywhere in the world with an internet connection; including your computer, tablet, or even your cell phone! This added convenience can save you quite a bit of time in both the short and long term. Any time you need to adjust the settings for your Brivo system, check access logs, manage user credentials, or update the software and firmware, you can do so at your own convenience.
How Is Brivo Different Than Other Access Control Companies?
There are more access control companies today then ever before, but Brivo is definitely a step ahead of many others in the industry. Not only do they offer cloud based access control solutions, but they were the company who pioneered the technology back in 2002! That means Brivo not only offers but has also conceived and developed the full cloud-based experience.
Their system is backed up by over a decade of third-party audits of their systems and security as well as an impressive list of clients, including notable companies such as: the American Red Cross, Whole Foods Market, HomeAdvisor, CVS Pharmacy, and the United States Department of Defense.
