One On-Prem Platform for Video, Access & AI
Avigilon Unity is the on-premise video security and access control solution from Motorola Solutions. It brings together AI-powered video management, access control and flexible cloud management, and the Unity Access and Unity Video unification helps operators verify access events and alarms against live video.
Motorola Solutions positions Unity for organizations that want full control over their data and infrastructure, with dedicated IT resources — including organizations with existing Avigilon ACC or ACM systems ready to expand or upgrade.

AI That Helps Operators Act Faster
Appearance Search
Search for a person or vehicle of interest by entering a physical description, uploading a photo or picking an example in recorded video.
Unusual Activity Detection
Object-aware edge analytics learn what a scene typically looks like and flag a person or vehicle in an unusual location or moving at an unusual speed.
Focus of Attention
View your camera population on a single screen with color-coded alerts so operators can prioritize the events that need attention.
BTI pairs Unity analytics with governance and network design. See our AI services, converged AI technology and AI security, governance & risk.
On-Prem Unity or Cloud-Native Alta?
Motorola Solutions offers two Avigilon platforms. BTI deploys both, so we recommend the right fit per site, not per product.
| Consideration | Avigilon Unity (on-prem) | Avigilon Alta (cloud) |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | On-premise; full control over data and infrastructure | Cloud-native, serverless platform |
| Best fit | Organizations with dedicated IT resources and existing ACC/ACM systems | Flexibility and remote management across sites |
| Remote access | Optional Unity Cloud Services: browser and mobile video, centralized role-based access, single login | Built in from any device |
| Existing cameras | Works with Avigilon’s published list of supported cameras and encoders | Alta Cloud Connectors bring existing cameras into Alta Video |
| Mixed estates | Organizations can run Unity at some sites and Alta at others — BTI designs, installs and supports both platforms. | |
