We have updated our media pipeline to transmit better quality audio and video from intercoms to applications like Verkada Pass and Desk Station. With these updates, we are minimizing losses to compression by shifting from narrowband audio to wideband audio. When coupled with microphone and speaker quality improvements, the result is crisp and clear audio with minimal ambient noise. These improvements also boost video quality, whereby receivers answering a call can see the intercom video stream almost instantaneously, representing a 5x improvement in playback time.

We are introducing our next generation of intercoms with an expanded set of form factors: the TD33, TD53, and TD63. The TD33 is our most compact form factor, suitable for installation in tight spaces like door mullions. The TD53 improves upon our TD52 model, with a thinner profile and more inputs/outputs and microphones. The TD63 includes a built-in keypad, allowing employees to access buildings with a PIN code. All three form factors come equipped with a card reader that is compatible with multiple credential technologies including low frequency, high frequency, Bluetooth LE, and mobile NFC.

Certain institutions face regulatory and operational mandates that require documentation of intercom usage patterns, including recording visitor and delivery timestamps. To address these needs, the reports feature generates comprehensive event logs spanning all intercoms and locations, with the option to export this data to CSVs.

Global Events allow organizations to search, filter, and view multiple intercom calls across devices. From the new Global Events tab on the left of the intercom page, admins can view all events and apply filters by site, intercom, receiver, and whether a POI was detected. Videos auto-play for easy viewing, and a map tool provides additional context on the device’s location.
