Avigilon

AI-powered video security from Motorola Solutions, with self-learning analytics built into cameras, recorders and software.

An AI camera picking out people and a vehicle and sending what it sees to Avigilon Unity on site or Avigilon Alta in the cloud
100+camera models, from mini domes to 360° multisensors
Up to 10Kimage detail (61 MP) on the top multisensor cameras
2 platformsUnity on your own servers, Alta fully in the cloud
NDAAcompliant, with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification
Two ways to run it

Unity on site, or Alta in the cloud

The same cameras and the same analytics, with two homes for the system. We help you choose on bandwidth, how long footage must be kept, your IT policy and how many sites you run.

Cameras, doors and alarms on site reporting to a Unity server and the security desk, with optional cloud services on top
On-premise

Avigilon Unity

Video, access control and alarms run on servers you own, with cloud services added for remote viewing, system health and managing users across sites.

  • Unity Video: video management with analytics that learn each scene
  • Unity Access: on-premise access control tied to the video
  • Decision Management: alarm workflows on a single screen
  • Core, Standard and Enterprise editions to suit the site
Three sites connecting straight to Alta in the cloud, managed from a browser or a phone
Cloud

Avigilon Alta

A serverless platform run from a browser or a phone. Nothing to patch on site, updates arrive by themselves, and a new site joins in minutes.

  • Alta Video and Alta Access in one console
  • Cloud Connectors bring the cameras you already have into Alta
  • Alta Protect adds monitored, round-the-clock site protection
  • Visitor and mailroom apps for the front desk
Analytics

What the AI actually does

Avigilon builds its analytics into the cameras and the software rather than selling them as an add-on. These are the ones our customers lean on every week.

A description finds the same person on several cameras and marks each sighting on a timeline

Appearance Search

Describe someone, by clothing colour, a bag or a vehicle type, and see every camera that caught them across the site in seconds instead of hours of scrubbing through footage.

Everyday movement paths fade into the background while one path that breaks the pattern is flagged

Unusual activity

The system learns what normal movement looks like in each scene and flags what does not fit: someone lingering at a door, a car going the wrong way, movement after hours.

A car at a boom gate has its plate read and checked against an allow list

Licence plate recognition

Reads and logs plates at gates and car parks, with allow lists and watch lists that can lift a boom gate or raise an alert.

A virtual line along a fence alerts on a person crossing it and ignores an animal

Perimeter protection

Virtual lines and zones that tell a person from a vehicle or an animal, so the alert at 2 am is one worth acting on.

A typed sentence becomes an alert rule with a place, an object and a time

Alerts in plain language

Set up an alert by typing what you want to know, such as a vehicle stopping at the loading dock after 10 pm, and the system builds the rule.

A ceiling sensor reporting vape, air quality, noise and a spoken call for help

Smart sensors

HALO sensors cover places cameras should not go, such as bathrooms, with vape, air quality, noise and spoken help-keyword alerts and no recording.

How it fits together

A Teracom Avigilon system, end to end

Cameras, door readers and sensors report to Avigilon Unity on site or Avigilon Alta in the cloud, and the security desk, phones and the Teracom monitoring centre act on what they see

Cameras, readers and sensors report to Unity on site, Alta in the cloud, or both. Your team works from the security desk or a phone, and alarms can come through to our monitoring centre after hours.

Teracom and Avigilon

What Teracom does on an Avigilon job

  1. Design

    Camera positions and lenses planned from the site drawings, with storage and bandwidth worked out before anything is ordered.

  2. Install and commission

    Every camera mounted, cabled and tuned, and the analytics zones set up so the alerts mean something from the first day.

  3. Connect to monitoring

    Alarms and analytics events can come through to our monitoring centre for after-hours response.

  4. Look after it

    Firmware, licence renewals and health checks handled on a maintenance plan, so the system stays current and supported.

Avigilon designs end-to-end video security systems — cameras, recorders and VMS — built around self-learning AI analytics rather than bolt-on add-ons. Acquired by Motorola Solutions in 2018, the brand now spans two architectures: Avigilon Unity for on-premises deployments needing full local control, and Avigilon Alta, a cloud-native platform for sites wanting infrastructure-light access control and video.

High-resolution multisensor cameras use H.265 compression to reduce storage and bandwidth loads, while onboard analytics — appearance search, licence-plate recognition, facial matching, unusual-motion detection — reduce the manual review burden for operators. Deep integration with Motorola's broader public-safety and unified-command ecosystem is a genuine differentiator where a customer already runs Motorola radio or dispatch infrastructure.
