Know who enters your Burbank property, and when.
Cloud-managed access control for Burbank properties — issue and revoke credentials remotely, and see who came and went.
Burbank's mix of media/studio-adjacent commercial buildings and residential neighborhoods means installs range from office suites to single-family homes. That variety is exactly why we design access control door by door, rather than applying one credential type to an entire property.

Access control for Burbank buildings
Access control answers a question keys cannot: who went where, and when. For media production, post houses, aviation services, and retail in Burbank, that record is often the reason the system gets installed in the first place, ahead of any concern about lost keys.
The buildings here are largely studio and post-production facilities, media offices, and stable residential neighborhoods, and production facilities often need access control that logs entry by person and time for insurance and client requirements. That determines how doors get grouped, which credentials make sense, and whether you need scheduled access windows for cleaning crews, vendors, and after-hours staff.
We install cloud-managed systems so you can add or revoke a credential from your phone rather than calling for a service visit. Door-forced and door-held-open alerts, complete entry history, and temporary visitor codes come standard. For properties with existing readers, we can often retrofit onto the current hardware instead of replacing every door.
On life safety, access control has to release correctly under fire alarm and emergency conditions. That is not optional, and it is the part we see done incorrectly most often on systems installed by low-voltage contractors without a fire alarm background. Given purpose-built production space alongside mid-century commercial, we confirm the interconnection during design rather than discovering the problem at inspection.
Where there is no staffed lobby — most Burbank condos, HOAs, and smaller apartment buildings — video entry is what replaces the front desk. A call from the door panel reaches a phone rather than a handset on the wall, so residents can see and admit a visitor whether they are upstairs or across town. Gate callboxes work the same way.
Can I manage access for multiple Burbank doors from one dashboard?
Yes, cloud-based platforms like Brivo let you manage badge, keypad, and mobile credentials across every door at your Burbank property from a single dashboard, and pull activity logs for each one.
How quickly can you install access control at a Burbank property?
Timeline depends on door count and existing wiring, but most single-property Burbank installs are completed within a few days once the design is finalized.
Can you retrofit access control onto existing doors in Burbank?
In most cases yes. We frequently retrofit cloud-managed readers onto existing door hardware rather than replacing every opening, which keeps the project cost down considerably.
What happens to the doors during a power outage or fire alarm in Burbank?
Access control has to release correctly under alarm and emergency conditions, and that is code, not preference. We confirm the fire alarm interconnection during design and test it at inspection. It is the single most common thing we find done wrong on systems installed by contractors without a fire alarm background.
Do you do video intercom for Burbank apartment buildings?
Yes, it is one of the more common jobs we do in Burbank. The panel goes at the entrance or the callbox, calls route to residents' phones, and the whole thing shares the access control platform, so there is one system to manage rather than two.
Can residents and staff get through a Burbank gate without stopping?
Yes, using long-range readers, which is the usual setup for larger Burbank properties. Guests and deliveries use the callbox panel instead. Both run through the same system as the doors, so the record stays in one place.
Can you replace an old buzzer intercom in a Burbank apartment building?
Yes, and it is one of the more common requests we get in older Burbank buildings. Dead handsets and failed wiring runs are usually what prompts the call. Depending on what is already in the walls we can sometimes reuse the existing cabling, which keeps the cost well below a full rewire.
