Configuration
The Avigilon AMAG integration software is used to direct alarm communication and video
streams between the Avigilon Control Center software and the SMS software. Configure the two
applications to perform the integration features.
Adding an Integration User in AMAG
To give the integration software access to the AMAG system, you need to add a user with access
to all the Company Groups that the integration will link to and a user with access to the SMS
database or SQL Server. See the SMS Software User’s Guide for details about how to add users.
The integration software needs an SMS user and an SMS SQL Server user to connect to the
SMS software.
Adding an Integration User in Avigilon
To protect the security of the Avigilon Control Center Server, add a user to the Avigilon software
specifically for connecting to the integration. See the Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide
for details about how to add users.
This user must have the following permissions to enable all the integration features:
• View Live Images
• Use PTZ
• View Recorded Images
This integration username and password is required to add Avigilon Servers to the integration.
