Avigilon APP-1500-72-BT Alta Cloud VMS Storage Appliance
The APP-1500-72-BT is a 72TB net-storage appliance built for the Avigilon Alta cloud-managed video platform. It's the on-prem storage tier that pairs with Alta's cloud connector layer, holding recorded video locally while the platform handles remote access, health monitoring, and camera management from the cloud. Deploy it where you need local retention capacity without standing up a traditional NVR — a hybrid model that fits sites already on or migrating to Alta.
Overview
72TB of net usable storage is the headline number, and it's sized against camera count and retention days, not raw drive capacity — plan retention math around actual recorded bitrate per camera, not just channel count. Two 10Gb BaseT network ports give the appliance enough ingest bandwidth to handle high camera counts without the network link becoming the bottleneck during simultaneous recording and playback. The unit is rated to support up to 75 cameras, which puts it in the mid-size site bracket — multi-building facilities, larger retail footprints, or campus deployments running a mix of resolutions.
Compatibility
The APP-1500-72-BT is built specifically for the Avigilon Alta ecosystem and works with Alta-compatible camera lines registered to the same Alta site. It is not a generic ONVIF NVR — it's a platform-specific storage node, so confirm your camera fleet is provisioned on Alta before specifying this appliance. For sites mixing Alta cameras with other network video recorders or third-party VMS software, this appliance only serves the Alta-registered devices.
Installation Notes
Dual 10Gb BaseT ports mean standard copper network runs (Cat6/Cat6A) rather than fiber, simplifying rack and closet installation where fiber isn't already run. Power cables are included, so the unit is ready to wire into rack power on arrival — verify rack PDU capacity and available 10Gb switch ports before installation. For camera count planning across a multi-building rollout, review a PoE and network planning guide before finalizing switch and appliance sizing.
