  • Since The Video Reader Pro and Video Intercom Reader Pro cannot perform door unlocks directly from the device, it should be used with a separate ACU to control all door functions. In the Control CenterAvigilon Alta Access, check the entry configuration (Sites > Entries). Usually, for a Video Reader Pro or Video Intercom Reader Pro, the Entry should be configured with that device as the Controller and the Reader. Those functions, such as Entry/Exit Device and Contact Sensor, should point to the ACU dedicated to controlling those entry functions. See How do I create a Video Reader / Video Intercom Reader entry?

Long-term live viewing is not a recommended use case through the Control Center Alta Access as the likelihood of bandwidth limitations or network interruptions may cause issues with the viewing experience. An ideal way to utilize the Video Reader Pro and Video Intercom Reader Pro as surveillance devices would be to connect them with an NVR such as the Avigilon Atla Aware platform so live views of multiple cameras can be watched without interruption.
