How to provision ACUs with the Avigilon Alta Access app
- Chad Fay
Avigilon Alta Access is an app that lets you provision and troubleshoot Avigilon ACUs, Video Readers/Video Intercom Readers, and Single Door Controllers (SDC) using your mobile device. Provisioning the device means registering it in Avigilon Alta Access and getting it up and running with the latest firmware. You will need to re-provision in the case of resetting the ACU.
Attention: The Avigilon Alta Access app does not support SSO. It must be used with a local account.
Note: If you’re provisioning ACUs for a customer account, the customer org will need to be created prior to provisioning. See How to set up customer accounts
Requirements
Meet all network requirements. See What are the Network Requirements for Avigilon Alta Controllers?
Connect the device to the Internet via Ethernet.
Install the Avigilon Alta Access app:
For iOS devices:Â Download on the App Store.
For Android devices:Â Download on Google Play.
Your mobile device should have the following permissions enabled:
Bluetooth enabled for the app and device.

Before you can provision an ACU using the Avigilon Alta Access app, you must first create an ACU in Alta Access. See How to create ACUs in Avigilon Alta Access
