Avigilon Alta Platform
The Advantages of Avigilon Alta Cloud-Native Security
Avigilon Alta is the cloud-native platform from Motorola Solutions, purpose-built for organizations that want enterprise-grade video security without on-site server infrastructure. For organizations requiring on-premise control, Avigilon Unity with Unity Cloud Services delivers comparable AI power with local data management.
Manage From Anywhere
View live feeds, review recorded footage, manage user permissions, and respond to alerts from a browser or mobile app — whether you're on-site or across the country.
Automatic Updates
Security vulnerabilities are addressed as soon as patches are available. Your system receives updates automatically — no scheduling, no downtime, no on-site visits required.
End-to-End Encryption
Video data is encrypted at rest and in transit from the moment it leaves the camera. Government-grade security protocols protect your footage throughout the entire pipeline.
AI-Powered Intelligence
Built-in machine learning enables proactive threat detection, smart search by person or vehicle attributes, and real-time alerts — turning passive cameras into active security tools.
Scalable Architecture
Add a single camera or deploy across 50 locations with the same platform. Avigilon Alta scales seamlessly as your business grows, with no new servers or infrastructure required.
Protect Existing Investment
Already have IP cameras on-site? Avigilon Alta Cloud Connectors migrate existing cameras to the Alta platform without rip-and-replace. Avigilon Unity also supports third-party ONVIF cameras, letting you build on what you already have.
From First Call to Full Coverage
ATP Alarms handles the entire process — from site assessment and platform selection through installation, commissioning, and ongoing support — for both Avigilon Alta and Unity deployments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Avigilon Alta and how does it differ from a traditional camera system?
Avigilon Alta is a cloud-native security platform from Motorola Solutions. Unlike traditional systems that store footage on an on-site NVR or DVR, Alta processes and stores video in a secure distributed cloud environment — eliminating server hardware entirely. Your system receives continuous AI and security updates automatically, and cameras are managed from any device through a single cloud dashboard.
What is Avigilon Unity and when is it the right choice?
Avigilon Unity is Avigilon's AI-powered on-premise video management system (VMS). It's the right choice for organizations that require local data storage and control — such as government facilities, healthcare systems, or enterprises with strict data governance requirements. Unity includes Unity Cloud Services for remote access, centralized software updates, and privilege management across sites, giving you cloud convenience without moving footage off-site.
Can either platform integrate with our existing cameras?
Yes — both platforms support existing hardware. Avigilon Alta Cloud Connectors allow compatible third-party IP cameras to connect to the Alta cloud platform without replacement. Avigilon Unity supports ONVIF-conformant third-party cameras and encoders across all software editions. ATP Alarms will assess your existing equipment during the site evaluation to confirm compatibility with your chosen platform.
What AI features do Avigilon Alta and Unity include?
Avigilon Alta includes cloud-based AI search, smart alerts, anomaly detection, and access control event correlation. Avigilon Unity features edge-based AdaptAI analytics, Appearance Search for rapid person and vehicle identification, license plate recognition, audio analytics, and — uniquely — on-premise generative AI Visual Alerts that let you create custom camera notifications using plain natural language, designed for data privacy and compliance.
Does ATP Alarms offer monitoring for Avigilon systems?
Yes. ATP Alarms can provide optional 24/7 professional monitoring for both Avigilon Alta and Unity deployments. Our monitoring center receives real-time alerts from your camera system and responds according to your escalation protocols — contacting your on-site team, management, or local law enforcement as appropriate.
