Description
Avigilon, a subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of advanced surveillance solutions that integrate artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

One of the company's developments is the Avigilon Appearance Search technology, an AI-powered tool embedded in their Avigilon Control Center (ACC) video management software. This technology allows customers to search for individuals based on specific physical characteristics, such as hair and clothing color, gender, and age, effectively turning surveillance systems into tools for profiling. Avigilon's cameras are used in prisons, airports, schools and government facilities.
