Commercial Access Control Systems for Berkeley properties
We design access control that fits how your business actually operates — from single-tenant offices to multi-site industrial portfolios. Cloud-managed platforms from Brivo, Kantech, Genetec, and Ubiquiti UniFi Access are standard, with on-premises Software House and RS2 available for higher-security occupancies.
Integrations with video surveillance, intrusion, visitor management, and HR systems mean credentials, alerts, and audit trails live in one place.
Berkeley commercial access control systems — local context
Fireside Security serves Berkeley from our Hayward office, delivering engineered commercial fire alarm, UL-Listed monitoring, access control, and video surveillance under a single C-10 license. Berkeley's university adjacency, biotech, and dense historic commercial produce constant retrofit and upgrade scope.
Berkeley Fire Department sets the local plan-review and inspection cadence, and our project managers work with it directly — stamped submittals, coordinated shop drawings, and acceptance tests that pass on the first walk. Historic-district design and UC-adjacent biotech both live in our regular schedule here.
Every Berkeley project is monitored from our UL-Listed central station with LTE-M cellular paths, so your life-safety signaling doesn't depend on the copper POTS lines being retired in 2026.

FAQ
