SnapOne Network Infrastructure
SnapOne Ecosystem — AV Networking & Infrastructure
Most AV failures aren't AV failures. They're network failures, cabling failures, or power management failures that affect AV equipment. A 4K display that occasionally drops signal. A conference room system that loses connectivity every few days. Streaming audio that buffers during the lunch rush. These problems almost always trace to the infrastructure supporting the AV system — not the AV equipment itself. Brivy IT designs the infrastructure alongside the AV system, not as an afterthought.
Araknis & Access Networks — AV-Optimized Networking
Standard IT networking equipment is designed for data traffic. AV traffic — 4K video streams, uncompressed audio, low-latency control signals — has different requirements. Araknis and Access Networks equipment is designed for AV environments: IGMP snooping for multicast video, PoE++ for powering displays and AV devices, VLAN segmentation to isolate AV traffic, and QoS rules tuned for the latency requirements of real-time audio and video.
Araknis Managed Switches
L2 and L3 managed switches from 8 to 48+ ports. PoE+ and PoE++ for powering AV devices, IP cameras, and access points. Configured with AV-appropriate VLAN, QoS, and IGMP settings.
Araknis Routers
Single-WAN and dual-WAN VPN routers engineered for AV environments. Built-in OvrC remote management for visibility from anywhere. Configured for AV traffic prioritization.
Access Networks Wi-Fi 6 & Wi-Fi 7
Enterprise access points for wireless AV distribution, mobile control interfaces, and whole-property coverage. Designed specifically for SnapOne AV deployments.
Network Design for AV
We design the network for the AV system — port count, PoE budget, bandwidth requirements, VLAN architecture. The network is part of the AV design, not a separate project.
Binary & AVARRO — Video Distribution
Getting 4K signal from a source to a display across a building — or across a home — requires more than an HDMI cable. Binary and AVARRO provide the HDMI extension, matrix switching, and AV-over-IP distribution infrastructure that makes multi-room video work reliably at 4K/60Hz.
HDMI Extenders & HDBaseT
Binary and AVARRO HDBaseT extenders carry 4K/60Hz HDMI signal over Cat6 up to 100 meters. Bidirectional IR and control signal pass-through. PoC options for simplified installation.
HDMI Matrix Switchers
4×4, 8×8, and larger matrix switchers for multi-room video distribution. Any source to any display, controllable via Control4 or standalone IR/IP control. 4K/60Hz with HDCP 2.2.
AV over IP (AVoIP)
Binary 900 series AV-over-IP for flexible, scalable distribution across standard network infrastructure. Eliminates dedicated video cable runs. Scalable to any number of sources and displays.
HDMI Splitters & Signal Management
AVARRO splitters, audio extractors, converters, and signal conditioning for complex signal chains. Solving HDCP handshake issues, extracting audio, and managing signal integrity.
OvrC — Remote Monitoring & Management
OvrC is Snap One’s cloud-based remote monitoring and management platform. Every device in a Brivy IT installation that supports OvrC is enrolled — switches, routers, power conditioners, AV controllers. We see device status, network health, and alert conditions without sending a technician. Most issues are resolved remotely before the client experiences them.
Proactive Issue Detection
OvrC alerts us when devices go offline, when network health degrades, or when an abnormal condition develops. We know before you call — and in many cases resolve the issue before you're aware.
Remote Reboot & Diagnostics
Device reboots, status checks, and basic configuration changes handled remotely without a service call. Eliminates the truck roll for issues that can be resolved from the laptop.
IP Power Management
Araknis IP power conditioners in OvrC-monitored installations allow us to remotely cycle power to specific AV devices — a common resolution for unresponsive devices.
Client Portal
Property owners and facility managers can view system status, run basic troubleshooting, and submit support requests through the OvrC client portal.
What Brivy IT Brings That the Manufacturer Doesn't
- Araknis and Access Networks: AV-optimized networking designed alongside the AV system, not separately
- Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points: proper RF design for AV environments
- Binary/AVARRO: 4K HDMI extension, matrix switching, and AV-over-IP for reliable multi-room video
- OvrC remote monitoring enrolled on every supported device — proactive issue detection and resolution
- Network + AV designed as one system — not two separate projects handed to two separate teams

Commercial Access Control for Utah Businesses — Installed and Managed by Brivy IT
Replace physical keys with a system that tells you who accessed every door, when — and lets you revoke anyone's credentials in 30 seconds from your phone.
Physical keys have a fundamental problem: they don’t tell you anything. They can’t tell you who came in at 2am. They can’t tell you whether the employee you let go last Tuesday made a copy before they left. They can’t tell you which doors are propped open right now, or alert you when someone accesses the server room after hours. And they can’t be deactivated remotely when something goes wrong.
Modern access control replaces all of that with a system that logs every access event, lets you grant and revoke credentials instantly, and alerts you to events in real time — managed from your phone, from anywhere.
The 5 Conversations That Usually Start Here
Access control upgrades rarely come from a catalog search. They come from a specific moment that makes the problem visible. Here are the five conversations we have most often.
‘We let someone go last month and just realized we gave them a key to every door in the building.’
This is the most common access control conversation we have. The answer to ‘did they make a copy’ is always ‘we don’t know.’ Modern access control makes the question irrelevant: credentials are revoked immediately, remotely, the moment employment ends. No locksmith, no rekeying, no exposure window.
‘We had a break-in last month. The police asked us for access logs. We didn’t have any.’
Every entry in a modern access control system is logged: who, which door, what time. When law enforcement or an insurance adjuster asks for documentation, you have it. When an internal investigation needs to establish who was in a restricted area on a specific night, the answer is in the system.
‘We’re opening a second location. We want to do it right this time.’
New location projects are the cleanest access control conversations because there’s no legacy system to work around. We design the right system from the start — credential types, door hardware, integration with cameras — and the client opens with infrastructure that scales.
‘Our insurance auditor flagged our access control as a liability.’
Insurance requirements and compliance audits increasingly include physical security provisions. Access control systems that log every entry, enforce access schedules, and produce audit reports satisfy most auditor requirements.
‘Our IT team wants access control integrated into the same environment.’
Modern access control platforms integrate with directory services, support SSO, produce audit logs compatible with SIEM tools, and can be managed by the same team handling network security. Brivy IT bridges both worlds — we handle IT and physical security.
What Modern Access Control Actually Provides
Complete Access Audit Trail
Every entry event logged: who, which door, what time, whether access was granted or denied. Searchable and exportable for HR, legal, or insurance purposes.
Instant Remote Credential Revocation
Terminate an employee, revoke their access in 30 seconds from your phone. No locksmith, no rekeying, no window of exposure.
Flexible Credential Types
Keycards, key fobs, PIN codes, and mobile credentials (phone-as-key). Mobile credentials eliminate the 'I forgot my badge' problem entirely.
Access Schedules & Restrictions
Staff access only during scheduled hours. Vendors during service windows. Contractors only the doors they need, only for the project duration.
Real-Time Door Status & Alerts
Propped door alerts, forced entry alerts, and access denied notifications in real time. Know immediately when something is wrong — from your phone, from anywhere.
Camera Integration
When a door alert fires, see the camera view immediately. When reviewing access logs, pull camera footage for any entry event in seconds.
The Platforms Brivy IT Deploys
We Deploy Three Access Control Platforms — and We Recommend Based on What Fits
Verkada Access Control
The strongest choice when also deploying Verkada cameras. Shared dashboard, shared alert workflows. When a door alert fires, the camera view is there instantly. Keycards, fobs, and mobile credentials.
PDK (Prodatakey)
Cloud-based with a clean interface, strong multi-location management, and flexible integrations. Works well for businesses wanting robust access control independent of their camera platform.
Rhombus Access Control
For businesses already running Rhombus cameras. Keeps cameras, access events, and alerts in one platform. Same multi-location strength as Rhombus cameras.
What a Brivy IT Access Control Deployment Looks Like
Door Hardware Assessment
We evaluate every door: frame condition, existing hardware, power availability, and whether it can support an electronic lock or requires full replacement.
Credential Strategy
We help you decide between keycards, fobs, mobile credentials, or a combination based on your workforce and facility. We explain the tradeoffs honestly.
Access Group Design
We design your access groups before installation — who gets access to what, on what schedule, with what restrictions.
Camera Integration Mapping
For every controlled door, we map the camera that covers it so door events trigger the right camera view immediately.
IT Environment Integration
For businesses with Active Directory, SSO, or SIEM tools, we configure access control to work within your existing IT workflows.
Staff Training & Handoff
Your team learns how to add employees, revoke credentials, pull access reports, and respond to door alerts.
