Cloud access control, with the credential bound to a face
Brivo runs access control from the cloud. eConnect adds the recognition layer on premises, so a mobile credential or a card unlocking a door is verified against the person who used it.
How the partnership works
Brivo user and credential data synchronize into eConnect identity management through the Brivo API. Door events arrive in near real time and are matched against the face recognized at the reader camera.
The cloud model suits multi-site operators with small local security teams. Recognition runs at the edge where the cameras are, results roll up to one intelligence layer, and the access platform stays exactly as it was.
What the integration delivers
API-based user sync
Brivo users, credentials, and groups synchronize into eConnect identity management.
Mobile-credential verification
A phone-based unlock is matched against the face at the door, closing the lent-phone gap.
Multi-site rollup
Recognition runs locally at each site and reports into one eConnect intelligence layer.
Unknown-face alerting
A door opened with a valid credential by an unrecognized person raises an alert.
What it changes for the operator
Business outcomes, not feature lists. This is what the property gets out of the integration.
Small teams cover many sites
Verification is automatic at every door, so a two-person security team supervises a portfolio.
Lent phones stop working
A mobile credential handed to someone else fails verification the first time it is used.
One record, one truth
Identity, video, and operational data live in the same investigation record, so compliance requests and legal holds are answered from one place.
Investigations in minutes, not days
A single photo resolves to a full timeline, the associated video, and every linked event. Reviewers stop scrubbing footage and start reading answers.
How the data moves
eConnect reads from the partner platform, resolves identity, and returns intelligence. Nothing is replaced.
Brivo Cloud Access
Partner platform
eConnect
Intelligence layer
Brivo users and door events synchronize through the API into eConnect, which returns verification results and unknown-face alerts.
Where it earns its keep
Multi-site retail access
A regional manager’s mobile credential used at a store they are not at is flagged immediately.
After-hours delivery door
A valid credential opening a delivery door with an unrecognized face present raises an alert.
Shared-credential cleanup
Credentials used by more than one recognized face are listed for revocation in one report.
