Alta Control Center: Enterprise-Grade Cloud Management
Avigilon Alta’s cloud-native access control software, Alta Control Center, provides security administrators with a centralized platform to manage credentials, users, and entry points across multiple facilities. Engineered for scalability, the software removes the requirement for on-premise servers, allowing teams to remotely deploy standardized security policies and monitor operations from any authorized web browser or mobile device.
Core Software Capabilities
Centralized Multi-Site Administration
Manage your entire security portfolio from a unified dashboard. Administrators can instantly provision or revoke user credentials, adjust automated door schedules, and audit entry activity across multiple branches without requiring on-site IT support.
Native Video Unification
Alta Control Center integrates seamlessly with Avigilon Alta video solutions as well as third-party security cameras. This associates access control events directly with real-time video footage, enabling advanced analytics like Tailgating Detection and providing immediate visual verification for forced-open or held-open door alarms.
Dynamic Alarm Management & Lockdown
Maintain operational control during critical incidents. The integrated rules engine allows operators to configure custom alerts, manage alarm prioritization, and trigger facility-wide or zone-specific lockdown protocols remotely.
Open API & Directory Integration
Reduce administrative friction and minimize unauthorized access risks through automated user lifecycle management. Alta Control Center features native integrations with leading identity providers, including Microsoft Azure AD, Google Workspace, and Okta. This ensures access permissions automatically sync, grant, or revoke as employee roles change within your HR or IT directory.
Comprehensive Audit Reporting
Meet compliance and risk mitigation requirements with detailed, exportable activity reports. The software logs all system interactions, hardware statuses, and access events, providing a transparent and verifiable audit trail for incident investigation.
