Avigilon Unity Pros and Cons

The website has a lot of information about the brand and the products that Unity provide. Additionally it provides documentation as well as resources for both existing and new customers who are interested in using the products.

The system is easy to set up and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Take in customer suggestions on what potential features that customers are hoping to have in the products. There may be some frustrations with the survillence due to the lack of certain features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very user-friendly client. Nice features that allow for complex video searching. When I train my soc operators, my rule is we no longer watch hours of unnecessary video but use one of the many search features available and should find what we need in under 5 minutes. The analytics feature sets help us build complex rules to correlate with alarms we set up for each of our unique sites we have to eliminate lots of "unnecessary alarms".

I don't have many downsides with ACC. Still, if I were to be picky, it would be nice if there was a way to create an analytic event rule to automatically provide a pre-recorded talk-down message when specific criteria were met. Currently using an Avigilon IP speaker, all talk-down features are manual, which is ok for us as we have a 24-hour SOC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to use, once set up, and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Set-up and interface are a little clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Friendly and intuitive UI, tabbed views, auto-login capability (caching of credentials), configurable inactivity auto-logout timer per user account, granular user/group permissions, and tons of other features make this one of the best VMS (Video Management System) software solutions in the industry. Supports ONVIF, which is especiallly appreciated in this era of cloud-native camera solutions that are 100% proprietary... they aren't quick to tell you that, lol!

Software upgrades are a bit cumbersome unless done via ACS (Avigilon Cloud Services). We do get some flickering and brief pixelations and other graphical corruptions, but we also funnel many locations over a site-to-site VPN thru the internet and back to a hub site where the big NVR lives, so that's mostly our fault (most manufacturers don't support this network architecture, although in-house WAN is fully supported).

I used ACC based on a client operation. ACC has many features that allow get video and integrate video analytics from Avigilon cameras or third-party ones. ACC includes the availability to replicate complex rules for alarms that are used in several real-life scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don´t have any dislike. However, I wish video retrieval via RTSP was available. This feature is helpful in scenarios where URL-based video isn't available. However I understand that this feature may not be available because of security purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AUV, from an installers POV, has been remarkable. It's extremely user friendly, even for the not so tech savvy users. I highly recommend Avigilon to everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no dislikes about AUV. The overall experience has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ACM works well and is easy to find simple actions that are used regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ACM system is very dated looking and does not have a modern feel to it. This really needs to be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Controller and reader setup is really good once you get the templates set up the way you run your doors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needs a few more built-in features that don't require complex programming (e.g. double swipe unlock - it should be a check box).

A real first responder type emergency mode instead of a PIN+Card hack.

Needs better reports.

Elevator set up needs some work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it captures motion, it is easy for us to narrow down to any particular event and review it. The application does not take up much of bandwidth, with average internet bandwidth, the visuals are stored and can be view seemlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updating to the latest version is a concern at times, but otherwise no downside as such. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent in surveillance and alarm systems. It is user-friendly. It has a high standard of features and client settings, including motion activiity, device name and location, playback, live timestamp, record indicator, and video analytics activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It occupies a large amount of space because of the high quality of its videos. Apart from this, everything is good and there are no complaints while using avigilon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
