Avigilon Area Manager

Area Manager is an intuitive and responsive web platform designed to simplify the management of shared spaces. It integrates seamlessly with Avigilon Unity Access, Avigilon’s on-premise access control solution, allowing organizations to manage physical spaces while maintaining centralized access control.

The platform offers two flexible operating modes, allowing organizations to choose the workflow that best fits their operational needs:

• Direct Management through Unity Access

In this mode, administrators manage spaces directly within Unity Access, using its full access control capabilities. Area Manager serves as a visualization and analytics layer, providing dashboards, real-time occupancy monitoring, and reporting tools that give managers better operational insight while all configurations and access policies remain managed within Unity Access.

• Management through the Area Manager Portal

lternatively, managers can operate spaces directly through the Area Manager web portal, which provides a more user-friendly and streamlined interface for day-to-day management. Administrators configure spaces, permissions, and occupancy within the portal, and all configurations are automatically synchronized with Unity Access, ensuring unified access control across the system.

One of Area Manager’s key advantages is its support for nested spaces — spaces within spaces. This hierarchical structure enables organizations to model complex environments such as large facilities, campuses, or multi-zone infrastructures. Users can access multiple spaces simultaneously, with permissions customized for each space.

Three permission levels provide granular control over who can view, manage, or administer each space, ensuring proper governance and security in multi-user environments.

The interactive dashboard provides a real-time view of space occupancy, enabling immediate responses to capacity issues or operational anomalies. In addition, occupancy reports provide historical insights and statistics to support better planning and decision-making.

Fully responsive, Area Manager works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices, allowing managers and operators to monitor and manage spaces anytime and from anywhere.

Use Cases

• Car Parking

Organizations can manage parking areas and sub-zones, control vehicle access through Unity Access, and monitor real-time occupancy. This is ideal for corporate campuses, residential complexes, or public parking facilities that require structured access control and usage monitoring.

• Co-Working Spaces

Area Manager allows operators to manage shared workspaces, meeting rooms, and private offices, assigning access permissions to members while maintaining centralized control through Unity Access. The platform makes it easy to manage dynamic user access and occupancy levels.

• Office Buildings

For multi-tenant office environments, Area Manager enables administrators to define floors, departments, and restricted areas as hierarchical spaces. Access rights can be assigned per company, team, or employee while maintaining full integration with Unity Access.

• Congresses and Trade Fairs

During large events, exhibitions, or conferences, organizers can manage multiple halls, restricted zones, VIP areas, and staff sections. Temporary access permissions can be assigned to exhibitors, staff, and attendees, while occupancy monitoring ensures operational control and safety.

• Others

Area Manager can also be applied to many other environments where shared space access and occupancy management are important. Examples include educational campuses, healthcare facilities, sports venues, cultural centers, logistics hubs, and residential complexes. Any organization that needs to manage multiple areas, control access permissions, and monitor occupancy can benefit from the flexibility and integration provided by Area Manager and Unity Access.
