| Question | Direct answer |
|---|---|
| Who installs it? | BTI Communications Group, LTD., ACO #7670, C-7 License 807767, from Santa Fe Springs. |
| Which platforms? | Brivo, Avigilon, Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath), Kantech, RS2 and Axis. |
| Can you take over our existing system? | Often yes. We assess panels, readers and software first. |
| Who is it for? | Offices, labs, multi-tenant buildings, plants and public agencies. |
| Does it work with cameras? | Yes. Door events can be tied to video and alarms. |
Class A and multi-tenant offices in the Irvine Business Complex. Shared lobbies, elevator control, suite doors, visitor management and after-hours rules that a landlord and several tenants can all live with.
Spectrum campuses. Parking, perimeter doors, docks and suites on large sites, often with more than one building.
Research park and lab-adjacent offices. Tighter identity, visitor and after-hours control, and a clear record of who entered a space.
Plants and warehouses. Man-doors, gates, and the ability to take a badge away the same day someone leaves.
For more detail by building type, see our Orange County pages:
BTI designs, sells, installs, supports and, for Brivo, takes over existing Brivo accounts. We install Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath), and BTI is a Kantech Global Edition Certified Partner. RS2 and Axis are also in the mix when they are the right fit.
Cloud versus on-premises is a design choice, not a slogan. A five-suite Spectrum office often wants cloud administration. A plant with strict on-site requirements may not. We will say which one we recommend and why, in the proposal.
Deeper brand pages:
Many Irvine buildings already have a system. The vendor may have left, the software may be out of support, or the last admin may have left with the only password. BTI takes over supportable systems, documents ownership in your name, and tells you honestly when hardware should be replaced. If the installed brand is sound and we carry it, we keep it.
Who gets through which door, and when, depends on the building.
Suite doors, after-hours schedules and visitor flow that match the building lobby rules.
Common doors, garages and elevators managed by the landlord, with tenants running their own suites.
Role-based access to labs, clean areas and stock rooms, with audit trails.
Documented credential management and contract purchasing through GSA, CMAS or TESMA.
Lockdown-ready doors and schedules for classrooms and offices.
A survey, a door schedule, readers and locks that match the openings, panels and power, network requirements, commissioning, and training. Elevator control, glass-door mullion readers and video door stations are called out when they are in the design, not added as change orders on install day.
Acceptance is a business test: the right people get in, everyone else stays out, and every event is recorded.
Financing at 3.99% is available for qualified buyers, subject to credit approval, for hardware and projects.
Doors, cameras and commercial alarms should be designed as one picture. The controller network should be segmented and documented, which is why our access control work also covers cybersecurity and IT projects. If BTI also provides managed IT, the same team already knows the LAN.
California lock, egress and fire-life-safety rules shape openings. We design to those rules and coordinate with the building when a fire inspection is required.
Our Southern California office is at 12155 Mora Dr, Units 1 and 2, Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670. Most support is handled remotely, and our engineers are about 30 miles from Irvine, typically 30 to 40 minutes by the 5 or the 405, whenever on site work is needed.
We also support nearby Tustin, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Lake Forest and Santa Ana. For county-wide services, see the Orange County hub.
