Avigilon Alta Cloud Security That Works the Way You Do.
Avigilon Alta Cloud Security That Works – Security technology is moving fast and cloud-based systems are no longer just for early adopters. Many installers are now being asked for remote access, AI analytics, and multi-site management that is designed with a serverless architecture.
According to Peter Ha, product manager for Avigilon at BGW Technologies, that’s exactly what Avigilon Alta delivers.
“It’s a fully cloud-native video and access control platform designed from the ground up for professional installers who want flexibility without the maintenance overhead,” Ha says.
“With Alta, Avigilon have simplified system management while providing a solution that delivers powerful analytics. Installers will find that Alta takes the heavy lifting out of setup and long-term maintenance.”
According to Ha, the system includes Alta Video (for cloud-managed cameras and analytics) and Alta Access (for door control and credentials). Both systems run through an encrypted cloud service with no on-site NVR or server required.
“One of the biggest advantages of Avigilon Alta is how straightforward it is to set up,” explains Ha.
“Cameras connect directly to the cloud using secure outbound connections. There’s no port forwarding, no firewall configurations and seamlessly integrates into existing networks. You just plug in, link to the cloud, and you’re ready to go. For many installers, that means less time on-site and fewer configuration issues to troubleshoot later.”
“Alta also makes retrofits far easier than most cloud systems. With the Alta Cloud Connector, you can bring existing third-party cameras into the Alta ecosystem. That’s ideal for sites that already have decent hardware but want to modernise their management and analytics.”
Ha says one of the big benefits is that it’s possible to upgrade a few cameras at a time or roll out cloud features across the site without having to fully replace the system — this is a real win for both installers and the customer’s budget.
“The other element that’s impressive with Alta, is the built-in intelligence,” Ha says. “AI analytics such as people and vehicle detection, as well as audio anomaly alert, allows you to get accurate and searchable events without servers running on-site. And for anyone managing multiple sites – a growing reality for many integrators – Alta’s multi-site dashboard makes life much easier.”
“You can monitor devices, manage users, and respond to events across all your locations from one place. That means, no more logging in and out of different systems or juggling VPN connections. There’s 1 pane of glass that keeps it all together. Alta is built for installers who want to simplify system management and still deliver powerful analytics. It takes the heavy lifting out of setup and long-term maintenance.”
“For integrators, Alta means faster installs and easier remote support, all while giving clients a modern, mobile experience,” Ha says.
