Install the Video Reader Pro
The Video Reader Pro combines a built-in high-resolution camera with the form factor of a mullion door reader.
The video readers are powered using PoE and do not need to be wired back to an Avigilon ACU. However, you
must use an ACUor third-party panel to support locking hardware.
Specifications
For the Video Reader Pro specifications and dimensions, see the OP-VID-PRO-RDR datasheet.
Prerequisites
Create the video reader in the Alta Control Center prior to installing and provisioning. For more information, see
