~Integration with Virdi's biometric system
provides additional authentication for sites
requiring a high level of security~
VANCOUVER, CANADA, June 8, 2017 /CNW/ - Avigilon Corporation
("Avigilon") (TSX: AVO), provider of trusted security
solutions, today announced it will preview the new Avigilon Access
Control Manager system integration with Virdi's biometric
fingerprint reader technology at IFSEC 2017.
Avigilon's Access Control Manager (ACM) provides a flexible and
scalable solution designed to keep people, property and assets
safe. The integration of ACM with Virdi's biometric authentication
adds an additional form of identification to high security
environments. This enhanced level of verification is supported by
Virdi's patented Live and Fake Fingerprint Detection Technology,
which uses human capacitance, infrared light and advanced
algorithms, to deliver advanced accuracy and speed at access
points.
"Biometric access control is a rapidly growing requirement for
securing facilities," said Cory
Bellamy, Virdi International Managing Director. "We're
excited to be integrating with Avigilon's Access Control Manager,
as it will provide our customers with a solution that enhances
their security systems."
"With the continued fast-paced growth of Avigilon's access
control solutions, integrating with Virdi's system opens up more
options for our customers," said James
Henderson, Avigilon's Chief Operating Officer. "This
provides them with an added layer of security for accurate and fast
identity recognition in high security
environments."
The Virdi USB fingerprint reader can be connected to a client
machine for quick and easy enrollment, while users can configure
and manage biometric identities directly from Avigilon's ACM
software.
Avigilon's ACM system integration with Virdi's biometric
fingerprint reader technology will be available to order in the
third quarter of this year.

the intended end users; and Avigilon will be able to
attend and demonstrate the products at IFSEC 2017.
Although management believes that the forward-looking

irrelevant. Although Avigilon has attempted to identify
factors that may cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those disclosed in the forward-looking statements,
there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results
not to be as anticipated, predicted, estimated or intended. Also,
many of the factors are beyond the control of Avigilon.
Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements.
