The Avigilon H6SL Bullet range gives you a single, site-ready bullet platform that can be deployed either as Avigilon Unity (for Unity Video/ACC environments) or as Avigilon Alta (for cloud-native Alta Aware), so you can align the camera choice to how you want to manage video. Unity H6SL Bullet models are available in 2MP, 3MP, 5MP and 8MP (4K), while Alta H6SL Bullet models are offered up to 5MP—all built around sharp imaging with HDR up to 130 dB (resolution dependent), P-iris control, and remote zoom/focus with autofocus. For low-light and perimeter work, the line uses high-power 850 nm IR, scaling from wide varifocal coverage (3.4–10.5 mm) to true long-range options on bullet variants (including 10.9–29 mm telephoto on supported models), with IR reaching up to 70 m at full-tele on telephoto configurations (model/lens dependent). On the intelligence side, both platforms are analytics-enabled for real-time detection and alerts on people and vehicles with practical rules like object-in-area, loitering, line crossing and counting; optional capabilities such as license plate detection and audio events can be added where required (licensing/microphone dependent). For reliability outdoors, H6SL Bullets are built tough with IK10 impact resistance and (on outdoor models) IP66/IP67 + NEMA Type 4X protection, operating down to -40°C. Unity models add enterprise hardening like FIPS 140-2, an onboard TPM, Secure Boot, and signed/encrypted firmware, plus H.264/H.265 HDSM SmartCodec™ efficiency and microSD edge storage (tested up to 1.5 TB), while Alta models focus on simple, secure cloud access and support an up to 10-year warranty with an Active Aware license (Unity models include a 5-year warranty).
Avigilon H6SL Bullet Camera
- One bullet platform, two ways to run it: Choose Unity H6SL Bullet for on-prem Avigilon Unity/ACC deployments (with efficient H.264/H.265 HDSM SmartCodec™) or Alta H6SL Bullet for cloud-native Alta Aware access (browser + mobile), with the option to run Unity firmware when you need Unity/ACC or 3rd-party VMS interoperability.
- Long-range detail in tough light: Varifocal lens options (3.4–10.5 mm wide-to-mid, plus 10.9–29 mm telephoto on bullet variants) with remote zoom/focus + autofocus + P-iris, HDR/WDR up to 130 dB (model dependent), and high-power 850 nm IR delivering up to 70 m night illumination on telephoto models (range varies by resolution/lens).
- Smarter alerts, rugged build, enterprise security: Built-in AI analytics to detect and alert on people/vehicle activity (plus tamper and advanced event rules), with site-ready durability including IK10 impact resistance and outdoor ratings IP66/IP67 + NEMA Type 4X. Unity models also add hardened device security features such as FIPS 140-2, an onboard TPM, Secure Boot, and signed/encrypted firmware.
