Brivo has introduced a significant update to its Security Platform API, enhancing its usability for AI applications. This development aims to facilitate faster deployment of business and security solutions for developers and systems integrators by leveraging a cloud-native approach to physical security.
The company emphasises reductions in both time and cost associated with custom integration processes, opening up possibilities for a broader range of corporate use cases that were once considered too expensive or complex.
Transforming the physical security industry
Key updates to the Brivo Security Platform API include enhanced documentation, management tools, and resources to support the integration and scaling of AI applications.
Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo, highlighted the impact of their AI-optimised API, stating that the technology enables app development within hours, significantly reducing timeframes and costs. According to Drako, “Agentic AI is upending systems integration in the physical security industry, enabling anyone to build apps on our platform leveraging video, access control, alarms and third-party technologies within hours, not months, and at a fraction of the cost.”
Real-world applications in security integration
Trimble encourages other manufacturers to adopt Brivo’s open, AI-friendly API model
Collin Trimble, CEO of the security integration firm Alarm Masters, successfully integrated a third-party intrusion detection product with Brivo’s platform using OpenClaw and the updated API. Trimble remarked on the transformative capabilities of the API, allowing security integrators to innovate without reliance on a manufacturer's product timeline. "We’re now at the age where your ability to develop an integration is only limited by your imagination. I described the outcome I wanted in natural language, and OpenClaw built it," Trimble commented.
The Brivo Security Platform API offers several benefits, including accelerated development and natural language integrations. It supports AI models and agentic coding platforms such as Codex and Cursor, providing competitive differentiation for security systems integrators. Trimble encourages other manufacturers to adopt Brivo’s open, AI-friendly API model, noting the importance of comprehensive documentation and accessible endpoints.
Streamlined access and management solutions
Recent implementations of the Brivo API platform include automated access control for coworking spaces to replace manual key management, and integration with gym member databases to manage access based on payment status. It has also facilitated self-guided tours for rental properties and license plate-based gate controls for various facilities, enhancing convenience and efficiency.
Brivo has maintained a commitment to an open API platform, merging with Eagle Eye Networks in December 2025 to combine the Eagle Eye Video API and Brivo API Platform. This merger strengthens their offering in access control and video integration, showcasing their dedication to advanced security solutions.
Brivo, the AI innovator and global pioneer in cloud-native physical security solutions, announces that the Brivo Security Platform API is now fully AI-friendly and capable, empowering developers and systems integrators to deploy business and security solutions faster than ever.
The Brivo Security Platform API significantly reduces development costs, making custom integration viable for a wide range of use cases and corporate workflows, including those previously deemed too costly or complex to pursue.
Physical security industry
Enhancements to the Brivo Security Platform API include agent-friendly documentation, management tools, and resources for all AI agents to build, integrate, and scale with Brivo.
“Agentic AI is upending systems integration in the physical security industry, enabling anyone to build apps on our platform leveraging video, access control, alarms and third-party technologies within hours, not months, and at a fraction of the cost,” said Dean Drako, CEO of Brivo. “The Brivo Security Platform API makes this possible with AI-optimised documentation–machine-readable llms.txt and skill files–that provide AI agents everything they need to build diverse applications.”
Intrusion detection product
Collin Trimble, CEO of Houston-based security integration firm Alarm Masters, used OpenClaw and the Brivo Security Platform API to integrate Brivo’s access control platform with a third-party intrusion detection product.
“We’re now at the age where your ability to develop an integration is only limited by your imagination. I described the outcome I wanted in natural language, and OpenClaw built it,” Trimble said. “The biggest benefit for security integrators is that they are no longer beholden to a manufacturer’s roadmap. Security integrators can build their own integrations without hiring a developer, waiting years, or spending tens of thousands of dollars.”
AI-optimised documentation
Trimble noted that not all APIs are AI-friendly, and hopes manufacturers will follow Brivo’s lead in developing “An open and robust AI-friendly API that has great documentation, helpful examples, and all of the endpoints you need.’"
Benefits of the Brivo Security Platform API include:
- Accelerated Development: Enables AI agents to complete complex integration requests instantly instead of in months through AI-optimised documentation.
- Natural Language Integrations: Allows developers and integrators to build custom solutions using simple, natural language commands.
- LLM Agnostic: Supports AI models including Gemini, Claude, and OpenAI’s GPT, as well as agentic coding platforms like Codex and Cursor.
- Competitive Differentiation: Helps security systems integrators quickly deploy tailored solutions, expand service offerings, and create meaningful market advantages.
- Unifying Access and Video: Lets agents build a single application using access and video API endpoints.
Manual key management
New Brivo Security Platform API integrations include:
- A coworking space automated membership-based door access to eliminate manual key management for 24/7 locations.
- A gym franchise synced its member database with Brivo to instantly grant or revoke facility access based on payment status.
- A property rental group built self-guided property tours to text temporary digital keys to prospective renters.
- A variety of warehouses, office buildings and apartment building managers deployed license plate-based gate entry to keep delivery trucks moving without manual check-ins.
- A commercial office building integrated license plate recognition/parking gate opening with the tenant management system for added convenience and security.
- A daycare provider added secure video sharing to the daycare management app to give parents a real-time window into their child’s day.
Since its founding, Brivo has been committed to an open platform with a comprehensive RESTful API accessible by all, with extensive support for access control and video. Brivo merged with Eagle Eye Networks in December 2025. The Brivo Security Platform API combines the Eagle Eye Video API Platform and the Brivo API Platform.
