Avigilon Alta Video
A cloud-managed video platform for centralized administration, remote access, notifications, and multi-site operations with compatible Alta devices and services.
Avigilon offers two distinct video operating models: Alta for cloud-managed physical security and Unity for on-premises video management. Its camera, recorder, analytics, and search capabilities let Terapixels match the platform to ownership, retention, bandwidth, and integration requirements.

Well suited to projects that value native video analytics, rapid investigation tools, and a clear choice between cloud-managed and on-premises architecture.
This is a project-focused overview of representative product families and specialties. Final models, software editions, licenses, accessories, compatibility, and availability are verified during design.
