Department Overview

At Avigilon Alta (formerly Ava), we started with the people. A small core group of engineers got together to find an industry where we could merge innovation, passion, and simplicity to help people reach their potential. Their attention was drawn towards the world of physical security—indispensable to modern work, yet often overlooked and taken for granted. Organizations needed the tools to understand if something was happening in real-time to keep their people safe and their data and premises protected.

Ava Security was acquired by Motorola Solutions Inc in March 2022
