Avigilon Launches the Control Center Edge Solution High Definition Recorder

Avigilon Corporation announced the addition of the Avigilon Control Center (ACC) Edge Solution (ES) High Definition (HD) Recorder to its innovative product portfolio. The ACC ES HD Recorder delivers complete support for HD cameras up to 7K (30 MP) resolution, full performance of the Avigilon Control Center (ACC) software and powerful remote access capabilities in a compact design.

The ACC ES HD Recorder is ideal for centralized monitoring of critical infrastructure; it offers intelligent monitoring deployed onsite at the network edge, the ability to store high amounts of HD video data remotely and the ability to view live or recorded video from long distances upon demand. Locations such as upstream oil and gas pipelines, power substations and telecommunications towers are well-suited to use the ACC ES HD Recorder to record critical video and keep their people, property and assets safe.

“Geographically-dispersed sites, especially critical infrastructure facilities, have traditionally been a challenge to monitor due to their remote location, reduced on-site staff and limited network capacity and bandwidth,” said Avigilon’s Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President, Dr. Mahesh Saptharishi. “The ACC ES HD Recorder embeds Avigilon’s core technologies in a compact device, providing end users with a complete solution.”

The ACC ES HD Recorder features four Power over Ethernet (POE) network ports that support Avigilon’s full range of HD cameras, from 1 megapixel (MP) to 7K (30 MP) resolution. The appliance is available in 2 terabyte (TB) and 4 TB storage models. Multiple appliances can be combined as a single logical site to support larger installations.

The ACC ES HD Recorder is equipped with the ACC software featuring Avigilon’s patented High Definition Stream Management (HDSM) technology, which provides efficient bandwidth and storage management, enabling users to view even the highest resolution cameras over a remote connection. When paired with Avigilon’s HD cameras with self-learning video analytics, the solution offers rules and alarms to enable proactive incident response.

The ACC ES HD Recorder will be demonstrated at the Avigilon stand (G950) at the IFSEC International tradeshow in London, UK from June 16 - 18, 2015.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
