Physical security provider Brivo announced an upgrade to its software platform today that allows artificial intelligence to quickly connect building access controls and video surveillance into business applications.
The updated Brivo Security Platform API includes machine-readable documentation designed for AI agents to write code, build features and scale custom systems. Company officials said the modifications lower development costs and make custom integrations viable for a wider variety of corporate workflows.
Systems integration firm Alarm Masters recently utilized the interface alongside an AI coding tool to connect Brivo’s access control with a separate intrusion detection system.
According to Alarm Masters executives, using natural language to command an AI tool to build the integration eliminates the traditional barriers of waiting on manufacturer software roadmaps or hiring dedicated development teams.
The security platform supports major large language models, including Gemini, Claude and OpenAI’s GPT, alongside agentic coding tools like Codex and Cursor. Security integrators can leverage the tools to create a single application managing both access endpoints and video streams.
Early deployments of the updated API include a gym franchise syncing member databases to automate facility doors based on payment status, a property rental group generating temporary digital keys for self-guided tours and commercial offices automating parking gate entry through license plate recognition.
The cloud-native security company operates an open architecture model featuring a RESTful API. Brivo merged with video surveillance firm Eagle Eye Networks late last year, combining their respective video and access platform interfaces into the current unified system.
