Deep dive into Verkada's
Hybrid Cloud Physical Security
Combine the best of both worlds — the speed of on-premise systems with the simplicity and scalability of the cloud
Server-Free, NVR-Free Cloud Architecture
On-device storage with cloud backup
Unlike legacy NVR/DVR systems, which require bulky hardware and are prone to single points of failure, Verkada cameras retain data directly on the device — choose from 30, 60, 90, 120, or 365 days of onboard storage — with optional cloud backup.
Remote management, simplified
Securely manage settings, control user permissions, and troubleshoot issues from anywhere. Access via a web browser or the Command mobile app — no port-forwarding or VPNs needed.
Device health status and automatic software updates
See the health and status of every device across your organization and get instant alerts for issues like tampering or connectivity loss. Automatic software and firmware updates add new features, keep devices secure, and fix vulnerabilities — at no extra cost and with minimal to zero downtime.
Minimal bandwidth usage
Minimize network impact with cameras that use only 20-50 Kbps of upload bandwidth while recording continuously, even during internet outages. Enterprise Bandwidth Manager (EBM) enables admins to set site-specific bandwidth limits for even greater control.
Enterprise-Level Scalability
Multi-site security operations
See all your locations in one place for better oversight and efficiency. Manage cameras, door access, alarms, air quality, and visitors from a single pane of glass — ensuring consistency in security practices across your organization while allowing local teams to handle site-specific needs.
Centralized user management
Automatically set up and manage users with ready-to-use integrations for SSO, SCIM, SAML, and MFA. Quickly configure integrations directly in Verkada with leading identity management systems such as Okta and Microsoft Entra ID.
Flexibility and cost savings
Unlike on-premise systems, Verkada’s cloud-based platform scales easily without the hassle of costly hardware upgrades. A lower hardware footprint and an ample warranty period (up to 10 years) help reduce long-term costs, while plug-and-play installation enables rapid deployment for evolving security needs.
Advanced AI capabilities
By tapping into the cloud's immense computing power, organizations can enable advanced AI analytics to accelerate investigations, deliver real-time alerts, and proactively identify threats at scale. Ongoing firmware updates help future-proof your investment by providing next-generation analytics at no additional cost.
Seamless Integration with Your IT Stack
Pre-built software integrations
Operate more efficiently with native integrations to your existing business systems. Access dozens of pre-built software integrations, with more being built continuously, including identity management, loss prevention, student information systems, GSOC, and HL7 EMR/EHR platforms.
Self-serve integrations via APIs
Use Verkada’s open APIs to build your own integrations. Seamlessly sync physical security data with your IT systems to reduce manual workflows and centralize analytics. Enable capabilities such as integrating door events into broader systems and unifying Verkada alerts within third-party systems.
