Avigilon Integration - InnoWare Best Practices1. InnoWare Best Practices
How is InnoWare integrated into Avigilon?
Avigilon develops end-to-end HD Video Surveillance and Access Control solutions.
Avigilon’s offering consists of various components:
-
Avigilon Control Center management software
IP CCTV cameras & encoder/decoders
NVR – Network Video Recorder
Access Control Solutions
InnoWare has developed an integration with Avigilon’s video surveillance platform, creating a stable,
transparent solution for combined installations.
Why is an integration of InnoWare into Avigilon necessary?
To ensure that projects involving both technologies are and remain trustworthy and well performing,
even in challenging circumstances.
To avoid unnecessary investments.
To prevent operators from having to master and operate multiple systems.
To keep a solution entirely Avigilon branded, with or without the LPR (and beyond) functionality.
To refrain from overloading the network when adding LPR (and beyond) functionality.
Thus, this integration can only be considered complete when the different elements of the two
solutions interact seamlessly with one another.
This is precisely the level of integration that is available today: InnoWare can connect directly to
Avigilon’s IP cameras and/or encoders, InnoWare communicates directly with Avigilon Control Center,
and data generated by InnoWare’s LPR engines can be stored on connected NVRs.
What Avigilon cameras are supported?
InnoWare can directly capture and process RTSP streams from ONVIF compatible cameras; as such, all
Avigilon IP cameras and encoders are supported in our LPR engine, and InnoWare can directly receive
streams from any Avigilon device capable of delivering such RTSP-stream.

2. InnoWare Best Practices
How is Avigilon Control Center supported?
Avigilon Control Center can receive alarm messages and/or detection results from our LPR engines
through the Avigilon POS license. This allows for data and events to be stored as bookmarks inside
Avigilon Control Center, for incident search and review.
Bookmarks can be time and/or date stamps, plate numbers, site information, trigger results, or any
combination of this.
What is the advantage of such integration?
The advantage is clearly the seamless cooperation of InnoWare with Avigilon installations, offering the
freedom to integrate results into Avigilon Control Center.
This allows for project owners and operators to effortlessly add LPR (and beyond) functionality to their
Avigilon installation – whether new or existing, storing events, detections, alarms, etc. within their
known and trusted environment, allowing for direct search and review from within Avigilon Control
Center.
Additional benefits is also that non-compatible, or even non-ONVIF, cameras can be added to an
Avigilon installation, by InnoWare’s capacity to act as ONVIF NVT.
How does it work in practice?
Whether a new or an existing Avigilon installation, InnoWare’s solutions can easily be added.
An InnoWare server is connected onto the Avigilon installation, in any location or position on the same
or on a different, connected, network.
It is worth noting that detection can also be performed in a fully distributed architecture, whereby the
InnoWare server may be located in a completely different location than the Avigilon system.
This server receives footage directly from the cameras, and interprets and manages these.
Results from the detection(s) are sent to Avigilon Control Center through the Avigilon POS license, for
storing as events or bookmarks.

3. InnoWare Best Practices
What added value do we bring for an Avigilon business partner?
The integrator can implement InnoWare onto any Avigilon installation, new or existing.
An InnoWare solution can be configured, installed, managed and amended locally or remotely.
The InnoWare engine can facilitate integration of non-compatible components into Avigilon.
What added value do we bring for an Avigilon customer?
An InnoWare solution can be added with minimal (additional) investment.
For an Avigilon Control Center operator, an InnoWare solution is completely transparent.
An InnoWare solution can be implemented without delay, even remotely.
