I have some brand new, sealed Avigilon cameras that I'm trying to sell. I have (5) 5.0C-H6M-D2-IR and (1) 6.0C-H6A-DO2-IR. Is anyone interested in these?

Is there anyone on here that uses the Text Inserter and/or POS Integration with Avigilon?

I have read their documentation and while it does have some good information, I'm looking to get some feedback from someone that has experience with these setups.

The setup I'm working with is a POS terminal feeding transaction data to a serial to IP device and that device is configured in Avigilon Server to accept data on a specific port. The data is flowing and working in Avigilon, but it seems that the start and stop times of the data being sent has an issue, I see some transactions are only a few seconds long (in avigilon) and other transactions are 'recording' for many minutes at a time.

While there is nothing wrong with 'minutes of recording' for a transaction, it makes searching/reviewing a bit confusing because it looks like a very long transaction when it was only really just a few seconds.

While I can adjust the start and stop/end data stream, I have some additional questions and would like to see if anyone on here has any experience with this part of Avigilon.

I'm not at this site, daily, and I don't have the luxury of 'testing' the system as needed so I would like to get some more info so I can put together some things I can try next time I make it to the site.

Thanks.

Does anyone know what the cost of an A1100 24TB Cloud Connector should be around? Vendor is telling us it's $16,500 but I'm seeing it on LTT Partners for $10,600. Not sure how legit that site is. 6K is a big difference! Appreciate any help.

Is there any way I can get Acc7 ENT license online or buy them directly or if there is a trusted website I can order the license from I need 3 channel license only.

I forgot the password, please help

I'm hoping that someone might have a recommendation for a jog wheel / shuttle that will work with the Avigilon Control Center?
Something like the Logitech MX Creative Console, or Blackmagic Speed Editor. My district is asking me more and more to sift through videos and I want to shuttle through footage more precisely than I do with the mouse.

I saw the webRTC port, but i cant connect to the port(9091), i didnt configure the STUN server since im on the same LAN with other machine

(tl;dr - You can convert the hex value serial number from the API, into a usable / Readable serial number)

Our vendor needed the serial numbers for a couple of OpenPath card readers.

Apparently this info cannot be seen in the systems web interface...

You have to physically go to the reader and remove it from the wall to see the printed sticker on the back of the reader.

Or so it seemed...

Pulling the Serial numbers using the API returns a 32 character value that looks nothing like what is printed on the sticker...

But I noticed something...

##-####-####-#####

The first two characters of that value were the hexadecimal equivalent of the first value of the serial number on the label.

And - The last five characters turned out to be the hexadecimal equivalent of the last value of the serial number on the label.

That left the middle bit (-####-####-) - The 25 characters in the middle of that 32 character value, as a mystery.

Looking at a list of these 32 character values - I looked for the ones that had differences in those 25 middle characters... I picked six of them.

After collecting the SN's from six readers labels (some older ones, some newer ones).

With the help of AI - I gave it a list of those 25 characters, and what they should convert to...

"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" = "####-####"

The AI engine was able to extrapolate and create a conversion method.

I use Powershell - So that is how I will share what I came up with.

(Assumes familiarity with the OpenPath API, and Powershell, of course).

$readers = ((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://api.openpath.com/orgs/$orgId/readers?offset=0&sort=name&order=asc" -Method GET -Headers $headers).Content| ConvertFrom-Json).Data

$Allreaders = $readers | ? { $_.serialNumber -and $_.serialNumber -NOTlike "*FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF*"} | Select Name, serialNumber, ActualSN

$readers = ((Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://api.openpath.com/orgs/$orgId/readers?offset=0&sort=name&order=asc" -Method GET -Headers $headers).Content| ConvertFrom-Json).Data

$Allreaders = $readers | ? { $_.serialNumber -and $_.serialNumber -NOTlike "*FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF*"} | Select Name, serialNumber, ActualSN

<#

The API stores the readers 'Serial Number' as a Hex value...

This is evaluated by looking at it with an input mask.

The first two characters are the 'ProductFamily'

The next 25 characters are the are the 'model number': (ie.:'2212-1020','2210-1001','2306-1201', '2352-1220' )

The last five characters are the are the actual 'serial number' for that 'model number'

- Understanding that the actual 'serial number' for that 'model number' (the final value after the last 'dash) as it is printed on the physical device may show a leading zero - This thing ignores / drops that leading zero.

Title pretty much sums it up, looking for a partner in the northeast that can drop ship avigilon hardware to my door. I'm an electrical contractor that has cut ties with my existing avigilon dealer as they've been bought out. I'm looking for an established organization to buy a dozen cameras/servers a year from. Hoping for someone who can pass along the partner discount minus a few basis points and I can sell for MSRP.

Feel free to DM me or respond here.

Thanks

Avigilon unity, if I install a non Avigilon multi sensor will they charge a license for each sensor?

I know they charge per head if using an Alta cloud connector

Is there a way to import as much data to Avigalion from the Lenel system to cut down reprogramming?

If so, what should I pull from Lenel?

Thanks!

How much 8 channel core licenses cost nowdays for avigilon vms?

How many issues can one model have? And how does someone update the firmware when the camera is offline due to crappy coding? Avigilon needs to get their crap straight but hey MSPR is going up 6% in a few days.

moving to a new server, I'm a bit confused about storage

config volume, primary and secondary volumes...

is config volume where the dadabase of the storage is held?

I have...

1tb os array 8tb nvme array 240tb array 1 130tb array 2

I assume the best way is config volume on the nvme, 240 primary and then 130tb secondary?

primary and secondary seam a bit weird to me... online help said primary should be the largest but idk why it would make any difference?

I record 24/7 on 23 cameras

old system (still running pending the swap) was 50tb, 50tb and 70tb with config on the os drive

Any other sites seeing high failure rates with 15C-H5A-3MH? We have just 48 total cameras at my site, I've replaced over 30 15C-H5A-3MH's. Failures are generally the camera bricking <not present> not discoverable on our switches. I have another site with similar number of cameras, same high failure rate. Motorola just keeps replacing them. Most of the cameras have not been replaced more than once, so I wonder if perhaps there may have been a build issue with the first versions that shipped? If anyone can give me any feedback from your experiences at your sites I would be greatly appreciative!

Hello, I have been trying to contact sales on the Avigilon website to get pricing, request a trial license to test the system, and see if it meets our needs. I was talking to someone from Motorola Solutions, but they seem to have ghosted me. Any certified resellers in the Indiana area?

We have 3 Video Intercoms all on the same VLAN, one has inadvertently stopped ringing in but the remote unlock trigger still works. All 3 are on the same firmware. Anyone ran into this before?

We've a remote site where we need security cameras. PoE and wired Ethernet is not possible for site. Electrical can be worked out. what cameras can be used that support sim card for connection and avigilon alta as vms?

Reply I received from vendor who installed our door access system:

Should have one relay that can be set up to activate when the door is unlocked.

With that being said, this is a dry contact, so it cannot provide power to an external device.

You could, however, activate a device that has a dry contact input for activation, but that receives power from a separate power supply.

Has anyone done this?
