• Scalable storage and accessibility: Video footage is stored securely in the cloud or on the camera accessible from anywhere on any authorized device. 

• Automatic software updates: Ensures the system stays current with the latest features and security patches without manual intervention. 

• Simple, Yet Advanced AI Enabled Protection: Avigilon Protect can extend all your custom analytics and business rules to a third-party monitoring provider.

How Does Avigilon Alta Protect Licensing Work? 

Avigilon Alta Protect, and the Alta Protect Monitoring Service each require their own separate licenses: the Alta Protect license determines how many zones and cameras you can monitor at a site, while the Monitoring Service license controls how many video verification events are allowed.  

Both types of licenses are available in different durations, and you can purchase expansion licenses to increase either the number of zones and cameras or the number of verification events. Multiple expansions can be added to the site to scale coverage as needed.
