With the Avigilon Alta video security platform, you move to a pro-active model, where the Alta Aware analytics tell you what is happening right now, with alerts and alarms to bring these events to your attention. The Avigilon Alta systems are designed and built around analytics. Video analytics are always available from all your Avigilon Ava and connected third-party cameras, and audio analytics are available (when configured) from all your Avigilon Ava Cameras.
