History
Avigilon Corporation was founded in 2004 by Alexander Fernandes in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Avigilon announced the first high-definition surveillance system in 2006 and began selling products in 2007. Avigilon has expanded its offerings to include a broad range of high-definition cameras and devices suited for various environments.
The company is known for its advanced video analytics, including Avigilon Appearance Search™ and Unusual Motion Detection (UMD) technologies. In 2018 Avigilon released Avigilon Blue™, a cloud based video monitoring software.
Avigilon went public on November 8, 2011 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).[2][3]
In February 2018 Motorola Solutions agreed to acquire Avigilon in a deal worth C$1.2 billion.[4][5] The acquisition was completed in March 2018.[6]
In February 2021 Motorola Solutions announced the opening of a new U.S. factory in Richardson, Texas where video surveillance products for several of its brands, including Avigilon, will be manufactured. Due to the opening of the Richardson facility, an Avigilon-specific facility in Plano, Texas was closed.[7]
