Avigilon Alta Arming Station Pro More Than a Keypad It’s A Connected Security Endpoint.

Avigilon Alta Arming Station Pro More Than a Keypad – BGW Technologies is bringing the next generation of site control to SecTech with the New Avigilon Alta Arming Station Pro – a keypad that functions as a connected security endpoint.

According to Peter Ha, Avigilon product manager at BGW Technologies, the shift toward cloud-native intrusion and access systems has changed what a keypad is expected to do. Available from BGW Technologies, the Avigilon Alta Arming Station Pro is a good example of that evolution less a simple interface on the wall, and more of a connected security endpoint.

“At its core the new Arming Station Pro from Avigilon does what you’d expect – arm and disarm zones quickly and reliably,” Ha explains.

“But where it stands out is how it layers verification and response into that moment of interaction. Users can authenticate via PIN or access card, with optional 2-factor authentication if the site needs tighter controls. For installers, that’s an easy box to tick when customers are asking for better accountability around who’s coming and going.”

“And where it gets more interesting is what’s built into the unit itself. There’s a 2MP camera on board, which means you’re not just logging an event — you can see who armed or disarmed the system. For sites where multiple staff are sharing access, or where there’s a bit more risk, that added visibility can make a real difference.”

Ha says audio is another differentiator.

“With dual microphones and an onboard speaker capable of delivering sirens and alarms to deter perpetrators, the Arming Station Pro moves to the next level, it’s no longer a passive system, it’s an active deterrence” Ha explains. “Installers can effectively turn a standard entry point into a monitored interaction zone, tying audio analytics and alerts into broader site protection strategies.”

“From an installation point of view, it’s highly practical. The compact unit features a 2.8-inch screen and a user-friendly keypad for easy operation, which in turn reduces training and support overhead. Meanwhile, features like a built-in accelerometer for tamper detection adding another layer of protection without complicating the installation.”

“Overall, the Arming Station Pro feels like part of a bigger shift,” Ha says. “It’s not just a keypad anymore — it’s another connected device in the system, bringing together access, video, and audio in one place. For integrators already working with Alta, it fits in naturally. For everyone else, it’s a sign of where things are heading.”
