Brivo: Access Control Is the Foundation for Your Smart Tech Future
▶ A common
perception is
that access
control
serves only
to keep
bad people
out. While that's certainly a
paramount concern, access
control provides the foundation
for physical security
and proptech in general.
Since it was fi rst introduced
in the 1980s, access control
technology has undergone a
remarkable evolution.
In the past, magnetic stripe
cards and 125kHz low-frequency
credentials were
thought to be a signifi cant
improvement on manually
operated locks and keys.
However, this is no longer
the case. Modern access credentials
incorporate several
security features, such as
encryption and authentication
protocols, making them
intrinsically more safe than
older credentials that are not
encrypted and are considerably
easier to copy.
Today, access control is
about enabling movement
into and around spaces.
Within the realm of PropTech,
access control serves as a
fundamental component in
enhancing visitor management,
package and food delivery,
monitoring occupancy,
and contributing to ESG
reporting. Smart technology
integrations make access
control the foundational
element of a full user experience.
Smart thermostats can
be set so a space never feels
too hot or too cold. Smart
light controls ensure that
lights aren't left on while the
space is unoccupied. These
green technologies appeal
to tenants with an interest in
sustainability.
The future of access
control is the integration with
the world a person occupies
in a space, leveraging the
tools used every day like their
mobile for access, connections
to video and integrated
with digital identity. As
we work with owners and
occupiers of diff erent spaces,
we are constantly seeing how
Cloud-based access control
is the key to enabling the
best possible smart building
experience.
