Brivo ACS Technology Helps Provide Security At Children's Center

  • Nov 01, 2007

Brivo Systems LLC, provider of Web applications for access control and security systems, recently announced that the Friendship Children’s Center has installed Brivo ACS at two childcare facilities in the greater Washington, D.C., area. Right-One specified and installed the Brivo systems.

The Friendship Children’s Center is responsible for the safety and well-being of more than 100 children, parents and teachers, along with many visitors and other care providers who need to access the two sites to drop off and pick up children. While the school’s original location had a legacy IEI system that worked fine, as the school’s enrollment has grown, so have the school’s security needs.

The old system worked on PINs for access, and such numbers could be transferred from person to person with little control.

“We could change the PIN, of course,” said executive director Lisa Danahy. “But that involved sending out a notice to everyone and still did not alleviate the control problem. Care providers, friends and relatives of the families, who on occasion were asked to pick up a child, could have access at any time. While we never had any problems, other than inconvenience, it is our job to provide safety for our students and to assure parents of a secure environment, so we needed the best technology.”

Right-One recommended and installed Brivo ACS at both buildings, and Danahy has been impressed. “I can control parent access and print personal ID cards for staff. I wanted a system that is controllable for both locations and one that I can manage from a single account. Brivo gives me that management control and flexibility and is very user friendly,” Danahy said.

“We are excited about the success we are having in the education and now childcare markets,” said Bob Mosler, Brivo executive vice president of sales and marketing. “Friendship also is a good example of how access control data can be used for non-security applications to cut costs, improve productivity and even raise revenues.”

  • The Stage is Set

    The security industry spans the entire globe, with manufacturers, developers and suppliers on every continent (well, almost—sorry, Antarctica). That means when regulations pop up in one area, they often have a ripple effect that impacts the entire supply chain. Recent data privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CPRA in California made waves when they first went into effect, forcing businesses to change the way they approach data collection and storage to continue operating in those markets. Even highly specific regulations like the U.S.’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) can have international reverberations – and this growing volume of legislation has continued to affect global supply chains in a variety of different ways.
