Introduction
Security in today’s fast-paced digital world requires more than just surveillance—it demands an integrated approach that combines video, access control, and intercom systems into a unified, cloud-based platform. Vicon’s Anavio Unified Cloud Solution delivers exactly that, redefining security with face-based authentication, AI-powered automation, and seamless remote management.
“Many small-to-mid-sized enterprises don’t have the resources to manage the complexities of traditional on-prem surveillance systems,” said Saagar Govil, CEO of Vicon Industries. “Anavio eliminates those complexities with its true plug-and-play installation. And because it’s cloud-hosted, users won’t be required to keep up with software maintenance, server management, and camera updates—tasks that can overwhelm smaller IT teams.”
At the heart of this innovative solution is the Unified Intercom Reader (UIR)—a next-generation device designed to ensure only authorized personnel can access restricted areas, eliminating security risks such as badge sharing and identity fraud.
The Power of Unified Security
Anavio simplifies security operations by consolidating multiple security functions into one cloud-based system. Instead of juggling separate tools for video surveillance, access control, and intercom communication, Anavio provides a single platform that ensures seamless monitoring and control from anywhere, at any time.
