In the vast and often bewildering universe of security solutions, there exist two peculiar entities, Avigilon and Brivo, each minding their own distinct corners of the physical security cosmos. Avigilon, the technological brainchild now nestled under the mighty wings of Motorola Solutions, busies itself with creating surveillance systems so advanced they practically know what you're going to do before you do. High-definition cameras with the clarity of an annoyingly sharp memory, video analytics that analyze things faster than you can blink and clever bits of software that can identify your face even when you’re trying to hide it behind that ridiculous hat. Avigilon’s innovations are eagerly embraced by industries that prefer to see everything — from retail stores to hospitals to those impenetrable fortresses of critical infrastructure.

Meanwhile, drifting in a cloud-based dimension of its own, Brivo is on a rather different mission. While Avigilon is preoccupied with watching everything, Brivo is more concerned with controlling the doors through which people, animals and particularly mischievous delivery drones might pass. Their cloud-based access control system is an elegant piece of engineering, making the process of managing who gets in and who stays out as simple as tapping a mobile phone. Scalability and flexibility are Brivo's middle names (if companies had middle names, which they don’t, though they really should) and their solutions fit like a glove for industries ranging from commercial real estate to large enterprises, all of whom would rather not rely on keys or that one guy with the very large keyring.

Thus, while Avigilon stares intensely at everything in high-definition from every conceivable angle, Brivo sits back with a metaphorical cloud-shaped cup of tea, calmly letting the right people in through its doors while keeping the wrong ones firmly out — unless, of course, the wrong ones find themselves on the right list by accident, which would be a whole other problem entirely.
