Commercial properties, whether office complexes, business parks, or mixed-use facilities, face a unique set of challenges when it comes to security. Ensuring the safety of tenants, employees, visitors, and assets while maintaining seamless operations is critical for property managers.
Access control is a foundational component of modern commercial property management, offering the ability to monitor and manage who enters and exits, while also integrating into a larger security ecosystem for comprehensive protection. By combining Brivo’s advanced access control technology with the Immix platform’s monitoring capabilities, property managers and central stations can provide robust and scalable security solutions tailored to meet the needs of commercial properties.
Real-World Scenarios: How Integration Makes a Difference
“From securing high-traffic lobbies to responding to emergencies, here’s how Brivo and Immix create safer commercial environments:” 
Scenario 1: Managing High-Traffic Areas
A large office building experiences heavy foot traffic in its main lobby during business hours. Brivo’s access control system manages entry through employee keycards and temporary visitor credentials. Meanwhile, the Immix platform ensures that monitoring centers can oversee the security of restricted areas, leveraging Brivo’s technology and integrated video feeds.
Action Taken: If an access credential is flagged as invalid or misused, monitoring operators are alerted to review live footage and notify on-site security or facilities managers of potential threats.
Scenario 2: Responding to Suspicious Activity After Hours
During off-hours, Brivo’s system records an attempted access using a deactivated credential near a restricted area in the basement of a mixed-use property. Immix receives the event and enables a monitoring operator to investigate the event. The operator is able to review the 5-10 seconds of footage pre- and post- the time of the attempted access from cameras overlooking the area. This quickly provides them with the context of what triggered the alarm so they can take swift action.
Action Taken: The operator confirms the unauthorized activity and escalates the incident by dispatching local authorities and notifying property management, ensuring swift resolution.
Scenario 3: Simplifying Vendor Access
Scenario 3: Simplifying Vendor AccessProperty managers often need to provide temporary access to vendors and contractors for maintenance work. With Brivo, managers can grant time-bound access credentials and track when and where these individuals enter the building. Immix adds an extra layer of accountability by monitoring access events in real time.
Action Taken: If a vendor attempts to access an unauthorized area, monitoring operators are alerted to investigate and take appropriate action.
Scenario 4: Emergency Evacuations
In the event of a fire or other emergency, property managers can use Brivo to unlock all exit points, enabling a swift evacuation. Immix allows monitoring operators to provide live updates on evacuation progress by monitoring video feeds and relaying information to emergency responders.
Action Taken: The integration ensures a coordinated response, minimizing risk to tenants and staff.
