Avigilon Control Center (ACC) is an easy to use video management software, and has optimized how security professionals manage and interact with high definition video. As a distributed network platform with enterprise-class reliability, Avigilon Control Center is able to efficiently capture, manage and store high definition surveillance video while intelligently managing bandwidth and storage. Avigilon Control Center can be pre-installed and configured on an Avigilon High Definition Video Appliance, Network Video Recorder (NVR) with the industry’s highest NVR network throughput or work as stand-alone software, to meet the needs of a wide variety of installations.
Avigilon Control Center records and manages both video and audio from the Avigilon™ line of megapixel cameras (from 1 – 5 MP and 4
– 7K based on horizontal resolution). ACC can seamlessly integrate with conventional analog cameras, along with a broad range of third- party IP cameras and encoders, giving you the ability to build a hybrid system – providing you with a budget-conscious migration from analog to digital. ACC software’s easy-to-use interface allows personnel to evaluate and respond to events with minimal training.
Avigilon Control Center uses our patented HDSM™ software technology to efficiently compress and preserve image quality while intelligently managing HD image transmission throughout the Avigilon system — sending only the requested portions of captured images
to operator workstations. This technology delivers exceptional image quality while providing immediate savings in transmission bandwidth allowing operators to use less powerful workstations and thereby reducing
costs. Our HDSM technology leverages leading imaging, hardware, data compression and information technologies to maximize performance of the Avigilon system.
