To activate your mobile credential, click the link included in the setup email.

Having trouble activating your mobile credential? See the following:

I didn't receive an email or I need to request a new one

When your account is set up in Avigilon Alta, the administrator at your company will send you a setup link via email. If you don't receive an email or if the link expires, you can request a new one from the Avigilon Alta Open mobile app.

Users have 7 days to activate their credentials, if the mobile credential is not activated within 7 days, the email link will expire and the site admin will need to resend the mobile credential activation email.

To request a new setup email:

  1. Open the Avigilon Alta Open app on your device.

  2. Tap Get started.

  3. Tap Send Setup Email link.

  4. Enter your email address to send.

  5. Open your email on the mobile device where the Avigilon Alta Open app is installed.

  6. Tap SET UP PHONE.

Note: If you try this and still don't receive a setup email, see Avigilon Alta Open setup email not received.

iOS/iPhone: The setup link isn't opening in the Avigilon Alta Open app

    • Double-check that you installed the correct app as there are other apps named similarly such as "Avigilon Alta Opens" (if you're looking at a map, you're using the wrong app).

  2. Make sure you click the setup link in your email from your mobile device and not from your computer.

If for any reason you're still not logged in, you can request a new setup email from your local admin.
