AvigilonWEB
Avigilon Control Center (ACC) 7 and Avigilon Unity (ACC 8) are video management softwares that can be integrated in HSYCO with a TCP/IP connection. The current release of the I/O Server has been tested with the Avigilon Control Center WebEndpoint
This driver supports only a single connection with an Avigilon Control Server. If you have multiple Avigilon Control Servers it is mandatory to add more I/O servers to HSYCO, one for each Avigilon Control Server. Every I/O server must use a different IP address and TCP/IP port.
