You can configure Avigilon Alta to disarm security alarms through physical wiring (explained below) or through API webhooks with the Rules Engine.
To physically wire Avigilon Alta to a security alarm system, contact the alarm company and ask them to program a “keyswitch” on the alarm panel that can connect to the Avigilon Alta ACU. The dry relay should disable the alarm system.
