The system includes more than 125 Avigilon cameras and Avigilon Appearance Search(TM) technology, which is powered by AI to help enable security officers to quickly sort through hours of video with ease to locate a specific person or vehicle of interest across an entire site or multiple sites that are connected to the same Avigilon Control Center(TM) client software.

"Our goal is to provide a safe environment for our residents and deploying an Avigilon system has allowed us to monitor critical areas more efficiently and respond more quickly," said Steven Beauregard, executive director of NBHA. "So far, the results are tangible as we've made great strides in improving the safety and security of our communities."
