Verkada Unveils AI-Powered Security Suite, Solidifying Cloud Leadership

Verkada Unveils AI-Powered Security Enhancements at VerkadaOne

Verkada, a frontrunner in AI-powered physical security technology, recently showcased a suite of product enhancements at its annual customer conference, VerkadaOne, promising a more proactive and intelligent approach to security.

The event, held in Chicago, drew over 2,000 IT and physical security professionals eager to explore Verkada’s latest solutions designed to empower security leaders in safeguarding people and property.

Building on its existing AI capabilities, such as People and Vehicle Analytics and AI-Powered Search, Verkada introduced a groundbreaking tool: the AI-Powered Unified Timeline. This feature visually reconstructs the journey of individuals and vehicles across a property, consolidating video events from all cameras onto a single, map-based timeline within Verkada Command.

Coupled with enhanced AI-Powered Alerts that include activity- and industry-specific detections, and an Operator View that centralizes alerts into a ticket-based system with a structured workflow, Verkada is equipping security professionals with powerful tools to maximize efficiency.

Verkada is also expanding its cloud access control offerings with the launch of a new wireless lock series and the innovative Face Unlock feature, debuting with the AF64 Access Station Pro. This allows users to unlock doors simply by walking up to them, using their face as their key. The AF64 reader integrates a single-door controller, multi-technology door reader, a 5.5” touchscreen, and a 5MP wide-angle camera into a single sleek device that requires only a PoE connection for operation.

Furthermore, Verkada is extending its platform’s reach beyond building perimeters to more remote locations. The new CR63-E Remote Camera with LTE enables organizations to easily monitor areas lacking power and internet infrastructure.

For mobile or temporary deployments, Verkada introduced the MT81 Cloud-Managed Security Trailer, a solar-powered, cloud-managed trailer that supports up to six Verkada devices, offering even more flexible solutions.

“We’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in physical security, delivering a platform that powers the entire workflow of a security professional,” said Brandon Davito, SVP of Product and Operations. “From the most powerful, industry-focused AI Alerts to customizable workflows, our customers have the most advanced tools in the market to keep their people and places safe.”

Verkada’s cloud-based software platform is continually evolving, with additional features, functionalities, and improvements, including:

● New retail analytics and reporting features

These provide retailers with valuable insights, including queue trends, conversion data, and exception-based reporting.

● A new attendance analytics dashboard

This delivers insights based on access control data to help organizations better understand how their spaces are being used across sites, departments, and individuals.

● A new device analytics dashboard

This simplifies camera management at scale with a real-time view into device performance and system health across organizations, sites, and sub-sites.

● A new incident response feature for Verkada Guest

Modeled after the Standard Reunification Method (SRM) developed by The “I Love U Guys” Foundation, Verkada customers can now implement emergency response and reunification protocols through a customizable interface. In addition to unveiling upgrades to Verkada’s Command platform, Verkada introduced next-generation hardware across its product lines to support even more use cases.

● New and next-generation multisensor cameras

The redesigned CH53-E and CH63-E four-camera multisensors and the CY63-E two-camera multisensor offer organizations a multisensor camera for nearly any deployment scenario.

● New wireless alarm panel and next generation wireless sensors

The new BP32 wireless alarm panel is powered by a single PoE cable and small enough to fit discreetly in tight spaces, making it easy to bring Verkada Alarms to sites like retail stores, clinics, and restaurants. Verkada’s new generation of wireless sensors begins with the QM11 Motion Sensor, QC11 Door Contact, and QT11 Universal Transmitter, with more to follow. Verkada customers will have access to these new software features and functionalities on October 9.

Hardware ship dates vary by device. Designed with simplicity in mind, Verkada’s six product lines — video security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms, workplace, and intercoms — provide unparalleled building security through an integrated, cloud-based software platform.
