Brivo vs Verkada

Brivo vs Verkada.
A practical comparison.

Comparing a Verkada alternative, a Brivo alternative or two new proposals? Redefined Solutions sells both platforms. We help compare the systems against the same building requirements.

Compare the approach, then confirm the design for your building.
What to compare	Brivo	Verkada
Access management	Cloud access control, mobile credentials and multi-site administration.	Hybrid cloud access control managed through Verkada Command.
Video security	Brivo Eagle Eye Video and supported video integrations, selected for the project.	Verkada cameras and access events managed in Command.
Software connections	A documented integration ecosystem spanning identity, property and workplace software.	Pre-built integrations, APIs and Helix for supported event-to-video workflows.
Users and identity	Identity Connector options include Microsoft Entra ID and Okta.	Documented SSO and SCIM options include Microsoft Entra ID and Okta.
Existing hardware	Assess the exact controllers, readers, credentials, locks, power supplies and cabling before promising reuse.
Project cost	Compare hardware, subscriptions, retention, installation, integrations, support and future expansion over the same period.

This is a project-planning comparison, not a compatibility guarantee or a claim that one platform is always better. Hardware, features and licensing must be confirmed against the proposed configuration.

Compare the complete installation scope.

Start with a door and camera schedule. Record entrances, occupancy patterns, credential types, lock power and life-safety interfaces. For video, identify the views you need, lighting, retention and investigation workflow. This creates a consistent basis for both proposals.

Review your existing equipment before replacing it.

Send the model numbers for controllers, readers, cameras and credentials, along with available network and cabling information. We assess what can remain, what needs replacing and whether phased work will reduce disruption. Reuse is a site-specific decision for either platform.

Include the software and subscription requirements.

Confirm administrator SSO, user provisioning, property software, visitor workflows and alert destinations. Compare the same subscription period and document the devices, retention, integrations, training and support included. We quote the scope rather than publishing a price that cannot account for your building.

One property or a Canadian and US portfolio.

We coordinate national Canadian projects and can assess cross-border requirements. We confirm onsite arrangements, travel, responsibilities and rollout timing for each location.

Project questions

Before you choose.

Which is better: Brivo or Verkada?

The better fit depends on your existing hardware, access policies, video needs, software integrations and budget. We can sell and scope either platform, so the discussion starts with your requirements.

Can you provide a Verkada alternative quote?

Yes. Ask for a Brivo scope alongside your Verkada requirements. We also prepare Verkada scopes for customers comparing alternatives to Brivo.

Can all of my existing readers and cameras be reused?

Reuse is not automatic. We review exact hardware models, supported protocols, credentials and the selected platform design before making a recommendation.
