Professional Monitoring
Alarm and video monitoring from a team of trained virtual guards who can verify and respond to threats for you.

Use Cameras to Detect Intruders
Monitored cameras act as a complete alarm system, helping you increase security while reducing the need for in-person guards.
How Professional Monitoring Works
Trained agents can verify and respond to threats for you, or simply let you know that unusual activity was detected.
Upgrade to a Modern Alarm System
Forget what you know and dislike about traditional alarm systems. Verkada’s cloud-managed intrusion sensors and built-in professional monitoring give you better visibility and control over what’s happening on your property. View alarm details, share incident reports, manage users, and more from a single dashboard.
Increase Security with Video-Verified Intrusion Sensors
Pair intrusion sensors with nearby cameras to get extra protection without the false alarms. Monitoring agents will only escalate if they see a person present, helping you get priority police response while avoiding false alarm fines.
Turn Your Cameras into a Monitored Alarm System
Use cameras to detect people on your property after hours, and get a team of monitoring agents to verify and respond on your behalf.
Still using in-person guards? Verkada can reduce how many you need by improving visibility, screening out false alarms, and taking immediate action, like calling the police or scaring off the intruder.
