Motorola Speaks On Avigilon Unity Video 8
As Motorola consolidated its security brands and platforms and unified its products and solutions, it has now released Avigilon Unity Video 8, emphasizing the strategic importance of "Unity" or "Unification" of access control and video. But what does this mean for Avigilon Control Center, and how does it compare to Avigilon Alta?
In this report, based on an interview with Motorola's Corporate VP of Video and Access Control, Hamish Dobson, we examine what Motorola's Avigilon Unity Video 8 is, issues with the release, strategic positioning / roadmap, and more.
