Keep People and Property Safe

A building is only secure when you control who gets in. Access control lets the right people through, keeps everyone else out, and helps keep the people and property inside safe.

Set who can use each door and when, see who came through, and remove access right away when a card is lost or someone leaves. Run it in the cloud or on-premise, for one door or many sites.

  • Who can go where, set door by door
  • Keycard, fob, and phone entry
  • A record of every entry and time
  • Door events tied to Avigilon video

Common questions about access control


Can employees use their phone instead of a card?

Yes. Avigilon Alta Access lets staff unlock doors with their phone, and Avigilon Unity Access supports HID and STid mobile credentials. You can still issue cards or fobs to anyone who prefers one.

Can it work with the door hardware and readers I already have?

Often, yes. Avigilon Unity Access works with standard hardware such as HID readers and Mercury controllers, and Avigilon Alta Access now supports Mercury controllers too, so existing doors can frequently stay as they are.

Does it tie into the camera system?

Yes. Avigilon Unity Access links with Avigilon Unity Video, and Avigilon Alta Access links with Avigilon Alta Video, so a door event shows the matching video.

What happens at the doors if power or network goes out?

The doors keep working in an offline mode, powered by the backup batteries in the access control enclosure. How long they last depends on the number of panels and readers and the type of door hardware.
