Avigilon AI NVR 2: Cloud-Ready Enterprise Hardened Recorder with AI at its Core

Modernize your video security infrastructure with the cloud-ready Artificial Intelligence Network Video Recorder 2 (AI NVR 2). This workhorse for small-to-large enterprise sites bridges IT resource and analytics gaps, offering capacities from 6TB to 440TB and supporting up to 400 cameras. It alleviates costly downtime and time-consuming upgrades with remote management capabilities from a single pane of glass on Avigilon Hardened OS. Protect your critical assets using Avigilon's AdaptAI 5 server-side analytics¹, deployable with any existing non-analytic camera. Locate people or vehicles of interest with Avigilon Appearance Search, Facial Recognition, and License Plate Recognition, and detect brandished firearms using Visible Firearm Detection².

Key Features

  • AdaptAI 5 server-side analytics¹ and LPR for non-analytic cameras: The first solution to bring AdaptAI 5 analytics and License Plate Recognition to your existing non-analytic cameras.
  • Firearm-in-hand detection: Helps detect brandished firearms, including handguns and long guns, with Visible Firearm Detection.
  • Resolve technical issues end-to-end with a single-point-of-contact: AI NVRs are backed by up to a 5-year warranty⁴ and 24/7 lifetime phone support dedicated to Avigilon's End-to-End solution.
  • Easy upgrades: Remotely upgrade AI NVR 2 cameras and clients with a single signed and encrypted firmware package.
  • Quick & simple deployment with Avigilon Unity Video™ pre-configured: The AI NVR 2 comes pre-configured with Avigilon Unity Video³ software for secure network video recording and management of Avigilon cameras up to 61 MP resolution.
  • No rip-and-replace: The AI NVR upgrades your entire site with the latest Avigilon analytics in a single click, requiring no replacement of existing cameras.

¹ Formerly known as Next-Generation Video Analytics. AdaptAI 5 (e.g., Classified Object Detection, Appearance Search, Facial Recognition) is supported as server-side analytics. AdaptAI 6 (e.g., Crowd Analytics, Privacy Blurring, and vehicle subclasses) is not supported as server-side analytics at this time.
² Available only in the U.S.
³ Pre-installed with Avigilon Control Center 7 Firmware. Unity Video 8 Firmware is available online for upgrade.
⁴ AI NVR 2 Value comes with a 3-year warranty only. Warranty coverage and support Service Level Agreement is subject to end user's geographic location. Please refer to avigilon.com/support/warranty/avigilon for more information.

Analytics and Specifications

The AI NVR 2 supports various analytics capabilities:

Analytics Descriptions

  • Classified Object Detection™ (COD): Detects and classifies people or vehicles to help operators respond faster. Unusual Activity Detection (UAD) automatically detects atypical behavior of learned objects. Requires UNITY8-ENT/ACC7-VAC.
  • Avigilon Appearance Search™ (AS): Quickly locates a specific person or vehicle of interest across an entire site using a sophisticated deep learning AI search engine. Requires UNITY8/ACC7-ENT.
  • Facial Recognition (FR): Detects matches from managed watchlists to alert operators of people of interest. Requires Appearance Search and an additional license. Requires UNITY8/ACC7-FACE.
  • Visible Firearm Detection (VFD): Detects visible handguns and long guns handled by humans. Requires an AI NVR with an additional license. Requires UNITY8/ACC7-VFD-1YR.
  • Occupancy Counting: With cameras at entrances and exits, a running total of occupancy can be monitored in real time. Requires ACS.
  • License Plate Recognition (LPR): Works with Avigilon Unity Video/ACC software for accurate license plate capture at a range of distances and speeds. Requires UNITY8/ACC7-LPR.

¹ Assumes each channel consists of a H.264/H.265 2MP 30 FPS primary stream and a low resolution 30 FPS secondary stream with moderate ONVIF Profile S motion metadata as well as appliance-wide average per camera rates of classified objects leaving the field of view: H6A/H5A cameras – one every second; H4A cameras – one every two seconds; non-analytics cameras running COD – one every second. Each multisensor camera with 3-4 sensors is considered equivalent to 3-4 cameras.
² Assumes a 3MP camera with 1MP license plate scan area and Frames Per Second (FPS) to recognize license plates up to vehicle speeds in Kilometers Per Hour (KM/H). Results may vary according to camera mounting parameters.
³ For cameras at 2MP and 30 frames per second (fps). Requires ACC 7.14.32 / Unity Video 8.3.0.
⁴ Requires H6A, H5A, H4A cameras, or Classified Object Detection running on non-analytic cameras.
⁵ When enabling VFD, Avigilon cameras must disable analytics on the camera, enable COD, and count the camera as a non-analytic camera.
⁶ Requires LPR Performance mode to be enabled. Available with ACC version 7.14.6 or later. LPR Performance mode will limit other analytics on your AI NVR 2. See the AI NVR 2 user guide for more information.

Device Types Supported for Analytics

¹ JPEG 2000 cameras without ONVIF compliance are not supported on AI NVR 2.
