Over the past five years, Motorola Solutions has focused on building one of the most extensive physical security portfolios in the market today through our Video Security & Access Control (VS&A) business. We have continued to focus on enabling growth in this area organically and through the acquisition of a number of exceptional brands including Avigilon, Ava Security, Calipsa, IndigoVision, Openpath, Pelco and Videotec. Together, these brands have enabled us to address the diverse security needs of our customers, whether they be small enterprises or have the span of large government entities.
Motorola Solutions has introduced the new Avigilon Security Suite, which includes the cloud-native Avigilon Alta and on-premise Avigilon Unity video security and access control solutions. This next evolution integrates technologies from Avigilon, Openpath and Ava Security under a modernized Avigilon brand, creating one of the most extensive physical security platforms on the market to give our customers the flexibility they need to adapt to security challenges as they emerge.
Read the full Motorola Solutions press release to learn more.
Avigilon Alta is an entirely cloud-native security suite that brings together Ava Security’s video portfolio and Openpath’s access control solutions. Requiring no infrastructure beyond cameras, controllers and access control readers, this flexible AI solution utilizes cloud infrastructure managed by Motorola Solutions to empower you to control your security from anywhere.
Avigilon Unity is our AI-powered, on-premise security suite that has all the hallmarks of the original Avigilon portfolio, including Avigilon Control Center, Avigilon Cloud Services and Access Control Manager. It is designed for enterprises that want to manage their own systems under one centralized and scalable solution.
What this means for our existing customers is that it’s business as usual, with no material changes other than a new logo. Over time, our Openpath and Ava Security (Avigilon Alta) customers will start to see our products come together with a similar user experience, tighter integration and enhanced video and access control capabilities.
For Ava partners, a number of business operations have aligned with the existing Avigilon business. See FAQ below for new Ava business processes that have taken effect on July 5, 2023. Visit the Avigilon knowledge article for full details.
For our Avigilon ACC, ACS and ACM (Avigilon Unity) customers, you will now see ACC and ACS merged under one product called Unity — soon to include ACM as well. Please note that at this time there is no planned interoperability between the Avigilon Unity and Avigilon Alta solutions.
In this FAQ we will be referring to what were formerly known as Openpath and Ava throughout when speaking to the Avigilon Alta updates.
