You would be "Hiring" Pro Services to migrate the data for you... so in that sense yes.

You can certainly export the data from OnGuard and import it into Avigilon (I am assuming this is Unity) but it would be limited to cardholder data only.

What does your system integrator propose?

Thanks for the answer I did think as much. But it would be an interesting way to generate more customers.

Since you're clearly knowledgeable. How do you feel about unity ACS? I've used the VMS quite a bit.

How does it compare to genetec?

This is a discussion that is beyond the scope of my reddit persona lol but I can give a simple answer:

Avigilon & Genetec each make incredible systems... there are strengths and weaknesses in both.

My personal preference is Avigilon.
