Avigilon video security

Avigilon, part of Motorola Solutions, pairs a broad camera range with analytics that run on the camera itself — so the system tells the operator where to look rather than asking them to watch every screen.

Cameras

From PTZ and multi-sensor to 10K panoramics

The Avigilon range runs to more than a hundred models: pan-tilt-zoom cameras that track a target across an apron, dome, bullet and box cameras for doors and corridors, multi-sensor and 360° panoramic cameras for car parks, and resolutions up to 10K where a single camera has to hold evidential detail across the whole scene.

We select cameras by scene, not by catalogue — lens, low-light performance, housing rating and mounting are specified for each position in the design, and each position is tied to the perimeter zone or door it covers.

Typical applications

  • Airport airside & landside
  • Perimeter camera coverage
  • Car parks & gatehouses
  • Production floors
  • Corporate premises

Video management & AI analytics

Unity on-premise, Alta cloud, AI alerts

Avigilon Unity Video (the successor to Avigilon Control Center) is the on-premise platform that brings cameras, analytics, sensors and Unity Access into one interface, in Core, Standard and Enterprise editions that scale from 24 cameras to more than 300 per server and 10,000 per site. Avigilon Alta is the cloud-native alternative for organisations that want multi-site management without on-site servers.

The analytics are the point: Appearance Search finds a person or vehicle across every camera in seconds, Unusual Motion Detection and Focus of Attention flag what deviates from normal, licence-plate recognition reads vehicles at gates, and on-premise GenAI Visual Alerts let an operator type “a delivery truck is outside the building” and be told when it happens. Where the control room runs Genetec, we integrate Avigilon cameras under Security Center instead.

Typical applications

  • Control rooms with few operators
  • Multi-site organisations
  • Post-incident investigation
  • Sites without server rooms

How Cornerstone delivers it

Cameras placed for evidence, not for coverage counts.

Scene-by-scene design

Each camera position is specified for detection, recognition or identification, with lens and mounting chosen for that purpose.

Network & storage

Retention periods and bandwidth are calculated per camera and the security LAN is designed to carry them with headroom.

Integration

Cameras are tied to perimeter zones and doors so an alarm anywhere on the site brings up the right view automatically.

Upgrading an existing CCTV system?

We audit the current cameras, cabling and recorders first — much of it is usually reusable.
