Trusted Partner fo Cloud-Based Access Control Manufacturers
BTI supports leading cloud access control platforms so you can choose what fits your environment—not what a single vendor sells. We design, install, and support door systems built for reliability, scalability, and repeatable multi-site rollout.
Brivo
Brivo is often chosen when teams need cloud-based access control that scales cleanly across many sites, with strong admin structure for regional managers and centralized oversight.
Avigilon Alta (Formerly Openpath)
Avigilon Alta is commonly deployed when organizations want a modern, cloud-first door experience with streamlined administration and a fast path to multi-site standardization.
Acre (Formerly RS2)
Acre (formerly RS2) is often deployed when environments require more customization and integration flexibility than many “one-size” cloud platforms.
Verkada
Verkada is typically selected when organizations want a single-vendor, for their entire cloud-managed security stack that simplifies purchasing, rollout, and support across locations.
Why BTI vs. Single-Platform Cloud Access Control Vendors
BTI’s role is to design and support cloud-based access control systems that fit your sites security and IT standards.
Platform Choice, Not Platform Lock-In
- Supports multiple leading cloud and hybrid video platforms instead of a single ecosystem
- Selects platforms and architectures based on risk, compliance, and IT standards
- Reduces long-term lock-in and surprise renewal pricing by keeping options open
Integrated Security, Not Isolated Video
BTI designs cloud-based door access control to work with the rest of your security stack—video, intercoms, alarms, and identity/visitor workflows—so incidents, investigations, and daily operations aren’t split across disconnected tools.
Engineering-Led Deployment
- Uses BTI’s own licensed technicians instead of anonymous subcontractor networks
- Applies standardized design, wiring, and configuration practices across all sites
- Reduces mis-wiring, device failures, and downtime during and after deployment
How BTI Delivers Cloud-Based Access Control Systems
Strategy
BTI reviews existing doors, readers, locks, and wiring to confirm what can be reused and what should be upgraded. We define site requirements for credential types, schedules, audit needs, and integrations.
Design
BTI engineers select the right cloud access platform, controllers, readers, and power for each site. A standard door design and itemized proposal are produced to align with IT and compliance requirements.
Implementation
BTI technicians install and configure controllers, readers, door hardware, and network connections using standardized build practices. Cutover (if replacing an existing system) is planned to minimize downtime.
Solution Delivered
Once live, BTI provides training and documentation for security, facilities, and IT teams. Ongoing support keeps the cloud access control system stable and scalable as requirements evolve.
A Trusted Cloud-Based Access Control Provider for SMB and Enterprise Organizations
BTI helps organizations strengthen security and reduce operational risk with cloud-based access control systems—including cloud-managed door controllers, card readers, and mobile credentials—with no on-prem server requirement and automatic updates. We design, install, and support deployments that integrate with video, intercoms, and alarms, and we standardize access policies across single sites or multi-location environments.

FAQs
What is cloud-based access control?
Cloud-based access control is a physical door security system managed through cloud software instead of an on-prem server. Doors use network-connected controllers and readers, while users, permissions, schedules, and reports are administered through a secure web interface.
What’s the difference between cloud access control and web-based access control?
“Web-based access control” usually describes browser-based administration, these systems can still require an onsite server to host the software and retain access logs. “Cloud-based access control” typically means the system is hosted and managed in the cloud, with features like automatic updates, remote administration, and easier multi-site scaling.
What happens if the internet goes down?
A properly designed system keeps doors operating based on the platform’s offline behavior and controller configuration. BTI plans connectivity, controller placement, and operational expectations so access remains reliable during outages.
Can BTI integrate cloud-based access control with video, intercoms, or alarms?
Yes. BTI designs cloud-based access control solutions that can integrate with video surveillance, intercom/visitor workflows, and alarms—so incidents and investigations aren’t split across disconnected tools.
How do you migrate from a legacy access control system to a cloud-based system?
Most migrations are phased—by door, by building, or by priority entrances—so operations stay stable. BTI maps a rollout plan that preserves day-to-day access workflows while modernizing the platform and hardware.
Wich platform is best: Brivo, Avigilon Alta, Verkada, or Acre?
Each platform is chosen for different reasons—standardization speed, ecosystem preference, integration flexibility, or workflow complexity. BTI is platform-agnostic and will recommend what best fits your doors, sites, and long-term operating model.
