Vancouver, Canada – November 8, 2011 – Avigilon, a leader in high-definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance systems, today announced its entry into the growing small business market with the introduction of Avigilon Control Center Core.

Avigilon Control Center Core is a new entry-level version of the company’s award-winning network video management software, delivering advanced high-definition surveillance capabilities, ease of use, and superior image quality to small businesses.

According to statistics from the Small Business Administration (SBA,) there are nearly 27.5 million small businesses in the United States alone. These small businesses—including retailers, convenience stores, and small office buildings—face security concerns similar to those of larger companies but they are constrained by smaller budgets and a lack of dedicated security staff. As a result, small businesses are increasingly looking for affordable, easy-to-use HD surveillance systems.

"With security a growing concern for many small businesses, we’ve seen an increase in the number of customers who are looking for cost-effective high-definition surveillance systems," said Alexander Fernandes, President and CEO of Avigilon. "We developed Avigilon Control Center Core to address the unique requirements of small businesses while delivering the same superior image quality needed to help ensure they obtain the best evidence."

Leveraging Avigilon’s High-Definition Stream Management (HDSM) technology to achieve the best possible image quality while using less bandwidth and less powerful workstations for lower costs, Avigilon Control Center Core delivers the following features and benefits:

- A complete system for reviewing live and recorded HD images that includes one Avigilon Network Video Recorder, Avigilon Control Center Core software, and up to 16 Avigilon HD cameras.

- Accommodates conventional and PTZ analog cameras, as well as a broad range of third-party IP cameras and encoders, enabling a budget-conscious migration to HD.
