Elite Plus
What Elite Plus means for you
Avigilon reserves Elite Plus for its top partners, measured by certified engineering staff, training and deployment volume. For your project, that means your system is designed and installed by engineers certified on Avigilon's current platforms, issues can be escalated through Avigilon's partner support channels, and you get partner-level pricing and access to new products as they ship.
It also means we're not learning Avigilon on your building. Avigilon is the platform we deploy most, from single-site Unity systems to multi-site organizations running Unity at headquarters and Alta at branches.

Why Avigilon
Why we lead with Avigilon
Appearance search
Find a person or vehicle across hours of footage by description, which is where investigations save the most time.
Choice of architecture
On-premises, hybrid or cloud from one vendor, so each site gets the right model without switching brands.
Unusual activity alerts
Analytics learn normal patterns and flag what's different, like after-hours motion in a restricted area.
Data control
Unity keeps video on your own servers for agencies and healthcare organizations that require it.
Cameras and doors together
Door events tied to video in both Unity and Alta, so every access event has footage.
Scale
Built for large campuses with hundreds of cameras as well as single sites.
Mixed deployments
Running Unity and Alta together
Many of our customers run Unity at headquarters, hospitals or campuses, where they want local recording and deep investigation tools, and Alta at branches, clinics or retail sites, where a server at every location doesn't make sense. We keep roles, retention rules and evidence export consistent across both, and document the differences so your security team can operate both with confidence.
