Avigilon Alta Protect and Monitoring Service

AI-Powered Site Protection That Thinks Ahead

Avigilon Alta Protect is Motorola Solutions’ latest innovation in proactive, cloud-native security. Designed to deliver smarter, faster, and more adaptable site protection, it combines video and audio analytics, sensor data, and an intelligent rules engine. Alta Protect ensures precise threat detection with minimal false alarms, enabling organizations to detect, validate, and respond to suspicious activity in real-time. This modern approach goes beyond the limitations of traditional intrusion systems.

The Alta Protect Monitoring Service complements this solution as a separately licensed, platform-integrated offering. With 24/7 remote monitoring by certified operators, this service creates a comprehensive security ecosystem that provides immediate threat recognition, video verification, and rapid response. Together, these tools give peace of mind to those responsible for safeguarding people, property, and public spaces.

What Is Avigilon Alta Protect?

Alta Protect is a flexible, cloud-native security solution that leverages AI-powered analytics, visual and audio input, and customizable zone logic to detect and respond to threats. It works seamlessly with cloud-connected Avigilon Alta devices and is also compatible with ONVIF-compliant cameras, access control systems, and sensor hardware.

Ideal for open campuses, retail stores, parks, or critical infrastructure, Alta Protect equips operators with the tools to monitor defined zones, detect abnormal behavior, and trigger automated workflows. It transforms routine security operations into proactive site management.

Key Capabilities of Alta Protect

AI-Driven Detection

Alta Protect analyzes video and audio feeds to detect loitering, unauthorized access, and vandalism. Alerts are triggered only when threats are verified with real-time visual confirmation.

Smart Zones and Rules Engine

Set up custom alert zones, detection thresholds, and event schedules. Fine-tune rules for each site or area to optimize sensitivity and reduce unnecessary disruptions.

Sensor and Device Integration

Trigger alarms using access control points, door sensors, audio inputs, and more. Alta Protect integrates seamlessly with Alta Video, Alta Access, and other ONVIF-compliant devices.

Remote Management and Control

Admins can monitor live feeds, adjust rules, and review event logs from anywhere using the cloud dashboard, making it ideal for agile and distributed security teams.

Video-Validated Alarms

Alta Protect pairs alerts with visual context. Every alert is supported by video evidence for smarter decision-making and faster emergency response.

Audio Intelligence

Built-in audio detection identifies unusual sounds such as glass breaking or gunshots, enhancing situational awareness during off-hours or in low-visibility settings.

What is the Alta Protect Monitoring Service?

The Alta Protect Monitoring Service is an optional, separately licensed add-on that connects your Alta Protect system with certified security monitoring centers. When enabled, trained operators respond to triggered alarms, review video footage, and verify threats. If a threat is confirmed, they initiate a police dispatch request on your behalf.

Key benefits include:

  • Platform-Native Integration: Simplifies setup and avoids compatibility issues compared to third-party monitoring.
  • Fast, Video-Based Verification: Operators verify threats in approximately 40 seconds using video footage and sensor inputs.
  • 24/7 Coverage: Certified monitoring centers offer constant protection.
  • Flexible Licensing: Includes a base verification allowance per site with scalable options for higher activity environments.
  • False Alarm Reduction: System tuning and verification processes minimize non-emergency dispatches.
  • Structured Support: Setup and escalations are managed through Alta Video’s partner support framework.

Please note: The monitoring service may not be available in all regions and must comply with local alarm licensing regulations.


Who Is Alta Protect Designed For?

Alta Protect and its monitoring service are ideal for a wide range of industries and needs:

  • Educational Institutions: Automate lockdown alerts, detect loitering around entrances, and monitor for vandalism or forced access.
  • Retailers and Storefronts: Monitor after-hours activity, reduce false alarms, and ensure quick intervention when property is at risk.
  • Corporate Offices and Campuses: Detect unauthorized entries and unusual movement patterns with video-verified alerts.
  • Municipal and Public Spaces: Enhance public safety through smart perimeter monitoring and flexible incident workflows.
  • Multisite Enterprises: Manage security across branches, stores, or campuses remotely using unified, cloud-based tools.

A Smarter Solution for Site Protection

Alta Protect offers organizations a powerful, cloud-native solution that strengthens site defenses while streamlining operations. When combined with the Alta Protect Monitoring Service, it becomes a comprehensive alarm and response platform designed to minimize downtime, reduce false alarms, and provide reliable, video-verified protection around the clock.

These solutions reflect Motorola Solutions’ commitment to intelligent, connected safety. They integrate seamlessly with the Avigilon Alta portfolio, unifying video surveillance, access control, and alarm management within one secure ecosystem.
