Brivo, Jolly Provide Integrated Access Control and Visitor Management

  • Jan 05, 2011

Jolly Technologies and Brivo Systems LLC have announced that Brivo’s ACS WebService® Software as a Service access control solution has been integrated with Jolly's Lobby Track visitor management software.

The integration will allow customers to issue access control credentials directly from the Lobby Track visitor management system and assign credentials to visitors, contractors and employees. The implementation is seamless and configuration requires only the entry of the customer’s Brivo account name and password into the Lobby Track system.

The visitor management system accommodates the fast registration of visitors through a driver’s license scan and a watch list check. A custom visitor badge is automatically printed, the visitor’s host is notified and a log of each visit is recorded. Through this new integration, access cards may be distributed to specific visitors through a simple card number entry during the registration process. The visitor’s information and access group are automatically sent to the Brivo access system, so receptionists or security personnel aren’t required to log into the access control system to assign credentials.

“Both Jolly and Brivo take the extra steps to provide an exceptional customer experience within our respective products. This is very apparent in this integrated solution,” said Kurt Bell, vice president of sales & marketing at Jolly. “The enrollment process requires only the entry of the access card number which can be automated with an electronic reader; those with card numbers are sent to Brivo’s system, those without are treated as regular visitors. It doesn’t seem possible to have a simpler solution. It has been a pleasure working with Brivo, and we look forward to mutual success with the new integrated system.”

“Our cloud-based access control solution is a perfect fit for the Lobby Track system, because customers need only provide their Brivo credentials and the integration works,” said Steve Van Till, Brivo president and CEO. “No on-site integration is needed, so the integrated functionality is available immediately, on demand.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
