Barefoot Resort Enhances Security With Cloud-Based Control

Several properties in the Barefoot Resort complex in Myrtle Beach, SC have deployed the Brivo ACS WebService cloud-based solution to improve safety and security. STOP Security is the dealer and installer for this large-scale project.

 

Barefoot Resort is a sprawling 2300-acre resort that includes 14 communities each with their own pool, four world class golf courses, tennis and basketball courts, bike trails, walking paths, and South Carolina’s largest swimming pool. At the resort, Omni Management Services manages the Master Associations, which include more than 700 single-family homes; oversees resort operations for 2,800 owners; and directs the homeowner associations of five condominium developments totaling 1,000 units.

 

Starting in 2008, video surveillance was installed at one of the Barefoot property’s clubhouses. At that time, all of the Barefoot communities under Omni Management relied on standard lock and key and telephone access systems for common amenities such as clubhouses and pools, as well as residential homes and condos.

 

Omni decided to install the Brivo cloud-based access control system at the Barefoot Resort Club and at the Clearwater Bay condominiums. To date, Brivo cloud-based access control has been installed at the Barefoot Residents Club, the Clearwater Bay Condominium Clubhouse, The Havens condominium pool and at six secured residential buildings, and at both the Willow Bend and Heron Bay complex pools. Omni utilizes Brivo to manage 24 access points across these five properties.

 

Groups have been created for residents of each of the separate properties, for vendors who need 24/7 access, for management, a host of other vendors, and for those working on temporary projects within the resort. Each group is programmed for specific day, time, and location access, based on their needs. Omni controls access for over 3,000 residents, vendors, staff, and temporary visitors to clubhouses, pools, and residential buildings.

 

In addition to standard access control, activity log reports are run to see who is going where after hours and identifying instances when residents are attempting access where and when they should not be doing so.
