Avigilon Unity for High-Security Sites Available Through BGW Technologies.
Avigilon Unity for High-Security Sites – Available Through BGW Technologies Avigilon Unity is designed for organisations that need advanced security intelligence without giving up local control.
Positioned alongside Avigilon Alta, Unity forms part of Avigilon’s dual-platform approach, giving customers the flexibility to choose between cloud-based or on-premise deployment depending on their needs.
According to Henry De Castro, product manager at BGW Technologies, Unity is designed for sites that want the benefits of modern AI and unified management, but still require on-premise infrastructure, Unity bridges the gap between traditional systems and cloud-era capability.
“Cloud-based systems are definitely on the rise, but the reality is that not every site can or should move everything online,” says De Castro. “A lot of industries still need the control, privacy, and compliance that can be delivered by an on-premise system.”
De Castro says that’s where Avigilon Unity comes in.
“Unity is a locally managed platform that brings video, access control, and AI analytics together in one simple interface and if you’re working with environments where uptime and data control really matter – think schools, hospitals, government, industrial sites, or critical infrastructure – Unity was built with those needs in mind,” he explains.
“Instead of sending all your security data to the cloud, Unity keeps everything on-site,” De Castro explains. “The servers stay local, the processing happens inside the network, and the customer owns their data end-to-end.
“You still get all the smart features and performance Avigilon is known for, including advanced AI like facial recognition, vehicle detection, object classification, and appearance search, but it all runs locally. That means faster results, tighter security, and no reliance on third-party engines or external services.”
Unity’s management experience is just as streamlined.
“Video, access control, alarms, maps – these are all available through a single dashboard,” De Castro says. “And because Unity supports both Avigilon and ONVIF-compliant devices, you can work with existing hardware or scale up over time without changing platforms. Whether it’s a small NVR install or a large enterprise deployment, Unity adapts.
“Unity is for environments where uptime and data control aren’t negotiable. Installers know it’s reliable — it just works. For integrators, that means fewer security headaches, consistent performance, and advanced AI tools that don’t rely on the cloud. It’s familiar, but smarter. And most importantly — it gives customers the control they’re asking for.”
