Brivo, a prominent player in cloud-native access control and smart space technologies, has announced a merger with Eagle Eye Networks, a leader in cloud AI video surveillance.
The union of these two firms will form what is set to become the world's largest AI cloud-native physical security company. The newly combined entity will operate under the Brivo brand, offering a unified security platform rooted entirely in the cloud.
Integrated cloud-native security solution

Dean Drako, Chairman of Brivo and Founder of Eagle Eye Networks, stated, “Customers will have one support team, one business relationship, and one integrated cloud-native physical security solution.”
The Brivo Security Suite is designed to incorporate AI, access control, video intelligence, visitor management, and intrusion detection into a single, cohesive system, centralising enterprise security management.
