Avigilon Alta Access: Cloud-Native Access Control
Avigilon Alta Access (formerly Openpath) is a cloud-native access control solution that lets you unlock doors, manage credentials, and respond to events from virtually anywhere. It’s built for organizations that want the flexibility and scalability of the cloud without sacrificing security.
Key capabilities
- Cloud-first architecture: Manage sites, doors, and users from a secure cloud dashboard with no on-premise servers to maintain.
- Mobile and multi-factor access: Support for smartphone credentials, cards, fobs, PINs, and multi-factor authentication.
- Remote management: Lock and unlock doors, trigger site lockdowns, and adjust schedules from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Built-in analytics: Gain insights into door usage, occupancy patterns, and access trends across locations.
- Open ecosystem: Integrate with select video platforms, identity providers, and IT tools to align with your broader technology stack.
Best fit for:
- Distributed organizations with many small sites or offices.
- Modern campuses with strong cloud strategies and limited on-premise servers.
- Organizations that need to manage access across states or regions from a central team.
- New construction or renovations where a cloud-first design is preferred.

Part of the Avigilon & Motorola Solutions Security Ecosystem
Avigilon access control is part of a larger Motorola Solutions security ecosystem that includes video security, analytics, and communications. Central Technologies helps you connect these pieces so operators see one coherent picture instead of juggling multiple disconnected systems.
- Video + access in one view: Link door events with camera views to verify activity and investigate incidents more quickly.
- Third-party integrations: Utilize available integrations with sensors, notification platforms, and other security tools where supported.
- Roadmap-ready: Build today with an eye toward future additions like advanced analytics, situational awareness tools, and incident management.
Our team can also help you evaluate how Avigilon access control can complement other solutions in your environment, such as vape detection sensors, environmental and aggression sensors, and video surveillance.
How We Deliver Avigilon Projects
Every site is different, so we treat each Avigilon deployment as a joint project with your technology, safety, and facilities teams—not just an equipment install.
- Discovery & walkthrough: Review current doors, hardware, network, and security procedures to understand what’s working and where the gaps are.
- Solution design: Select Unity Access, Alta Access, or a combination, and design door-by-door requirements, controllers, readers, and integrations.
- Deployment: Coordinate installation, configuration, and testing with clear timelines and communication to minimize disruption.
- Training & handoff: Provide admin and operator training, documentation, and support options so your team is confident on day one and beyond.
