Introducing the BP32 Wireless Alarm Panel and Q-Series Sensors

Since the launch of new Alarms last November, we’ve rapidly expanded our intrusion hardware portfolio with a single goal – frictionless deployment at any site, so that more organizations can benefit from modern, cloud-based intrusion protection. Today we’re excited to advance that vision with the launch of the BP32 Wireless Alarm Panel and our next generation wireless sensors.

An Alarm Panel for Small Spaces

The BP32 plays an important role in the new Alarms portfolio. Powered by a single PoE cable and small enough to fit discreetly in tight spaces, the BP32 makes it easy to bring Verkada Alarms to sites like retail stores, clinics, and restaurants. With the introduction of the BP32, we now offer an alarm panel for nearly every environment.

Despite its compact size, the BP32 meets the needs of almost any deployment. The panel alone can support up to 160 wireless sensors, with unlimited expansion through WH52 hubs, WH32 repeaters, and BK22 keypads. Organizations can even connect a BE32 expander for sites with both wired and wireless sensors.

Like the larger BP52 panel, the BP32 communicates locally with all alarm and access control devices on site, allowing for greater reliability and offline functionality. And with a built-in LTE backup communicator and up to 30-hour backup battery, the BP32 is designed to stay online during network and power outages.

The BP32 is cloud-managed in Command, which greatly reduces overhead for multi-site organizations. Customers and partners can monitor system health, receive offline alerts, configure partitions, and troubleshoot devices – all without being on site.

Next Generation Wireless Sensors

Our new generation of wireless sensors begins with the QM11 Motion Sensor, QC11 Door Contact, and QT11 Universal Transmitter, with more to follow. All Q series devices are compatible with any VLink hub in the new Alarms product line, such as the BP32 panel, BK22 keypad, and WH52 wireless hub.

QM11 Wireless Motion Sensor

The QM11 motion sensor is designed to reduce false triggers by utilizing both a passive infrared (PIR) sensor and active mmWave radar. The mmWave radar is able to rule out triggers from heat changes without physical movement, such as sudden drafts from HVAC systems, which are a common source of false alarms for a PIR sensor. Additionally, the QM11 boasts 50% greater detection range than its predecessor, allowing organizations to cover sites more efficiently.

QC11 Wireless Door Sensor

The QC11 door sensor enables more flexible installation with a two-sided design. The sensor works no matter which side the magnet is placed on, reducing install effort and complexity. 

QT11 Wireless Universal Transmitter

The QT11 universal transmitter allows customers to turn any third-party two-wire sensor into a wireless sensor. It supports supervised wiring, allowing you to detect when a wire is tampered with.

All Verkada wireless sensors are cloud-managed in Command, making Verkada Alarms much easier to maintain and service than a traditional system. For example, customers or partners can remotely inspect a runaway sensor, click through recent triggers to see what happened on camera, and easily mute the sensor or adjust its sensitivity. With this level of visibility and control, customers can enjoy faster service while partners can reduce the number of truck rolls.

Pricing and Resources

The BP32 Wireless Alarm Panel ($799), the QC11 Wireless Door Sensor ($99) and the QT11 Wireless Universal Transmitter ($99) will be available for pre-order on September 30th and ship on November 12th in the US and Canada. The QM11 Wireless Motion Sensor ($159) will ship on January 5th in the US and Canada.
