Verkada has been ranked the #1 provider of Video Surveillance as a Service (VSaaS) worldwide by Omdia, based on global market share.
This milestone comes as Verkada continues to redefine how organizations secure, understand, and operate their environments — delivering a platform where every product, from cameras to access control, is built to get smarter over time.
The Age of AI in Physical Security
For decades, video security was largely reactive — teams spent hours or even days reviewing footage after an incident. Since 2016, Verkada has leveraged artificial intelligence to help shift that norm, enabling organizations to both run faster and more effective investigations, as well as make security truly proactive.
With Verkada, organizations are adopting systems that not only record but also interpret what they see — detecting patterns, identifying anomalies, and alerting teams in real time. Verkada’s leadership in the global VSaaS market represents this evolution: security that’s intelligent, unified across devices and locations, and continuously improving.
Built for the Modern Enterprise
At the core of Verkada’s success is a hybrid cloud architecture that combines on-device intelligence with cloud-based management. Each camera processes and analyzes data on the edge and stores footage locally — while the cloud enables centralized visibility, additional analytics, and global scalability.
This architecture delivers powerful low-latency analytics, remote access, and minimal bandwidth consumption — typically just 20–50 Kbps per camera (steady state). With no NVRs, servers, or VPNs to manage, teams can view, search, and share footage across thousands of sites from a single dashboard in Command – no matter where they are.
Smarter Video Intelligence, All in One Platform
Verkada’s VSaaS platform turns video data into insight through a growing suite of powerful features:
AI-Powered Search — Find specific people or vehicles instantly using natural language, such as “person wearing red jacket” or “white van near loading dock.”
Real-Time Alerts — Detect and respond proactively with AI-triggered notifications for defined events or activities.
AI-Powered Unified Timeline — Visually reconstruct the movement of people and vehicles across cameras with a single, map-based timeline.
API Integrations — Connect video data to third-party systems like POS or ERP for deeper operational context.
Privacy and Security Controls — Balance safety and compliance with tools like Enterprise-Controlled Encryption, face blur, and granular user permissions.
Innovation That Scales With You
At VerkadaOne 2025, thousands of IT and physical security leaders gathered to see how Verkada is pushing the boundaries of connected security. The company unveiled a new wave of products and AI-powered capabilities designed to make security more proactive, intelligent, and seamless.
Highlights included:
AI-Powered Unified Timeline: A visual map that tracks one or more people and vehicles — bringing incident footage from multiple cameras into a single, chronological view.
AI-Powered Activity Detection: Real-time alerts when certain activity is detected on camera, such as a person falling or attempting to climb over a barrier.
Operator View: A ticketing-style workflow to help teams act faster on relevant events.
CR63-E Remote Camera: Built-in LTE connectivity and an internal battery for monitoring locations without power or WiFi.
MT81 Cloud-Managed Security Trailer: A solar-powered platform supporting up to six devices for mobile and temporary deployments.
Next-Generation Multisensors (CH53-E, CH63-E, CY63-E): Redesigned for greater image quality, simplified installation, and broader coverage.
Software enhancements also included industry-specific AI alerts, retail analytics dashboards, attendance insights, and centralized device health monitoring — further advancing Verkada’s vision of a unified, intelligent security ecosystem.
Verkada’s hybrid cloud architecture enables these innovations to reach customers automatically through cloud-delivered software and firmware updates. New features and enhancements are rolled out seamlessly, keeping systems secure and continuously improving — without added maintenance or cost.
Real-World Impact
Across industries and geographies, organizations are seeing measurable results from Verkada’s AI-powered platform:
Healthcare: A U.S. hospital reported it reduced workplace violence incidents by 83% and cut investigation times from hours to 15 minutes using AI-powered search. With new industry-specific AI-powered alerts, healthcare teams can now receive proactive notifications for events like “paramedics in uniform” or “staff not wearing PPE,” helping improve compliance and patient safety.
Hospitality: Using AI-powered activity detection, a national restaurant chain identifies and responds to slip-and-fall incidents in real time. Cameras automatically detect when someone slips or falls, or when a person enters a hazardous area like a “wet floor.” These proactive alerts help staff intervene faster, prevent accidents, and maintain accurate documentation — reducing liability while improving safety.
Education: A UK school reported it now resolves incidents 98% faster, supported by GDPR-aligned privacy tools like face blur and user permissions. With custom AI-powered alerts, staff can also monitor for specific behaviors such as loitering or crowd formation to improve student supervision.
Smart Cities: The City of Las Vegas reported it achieved 70% faster deployments while strengthening situational awareness across public spaces. New AI-powered alerts help city staff track vehicles of interest or detect perimeter breaches such as fence climbing — enhancing situational awareness and accelerating emergency response.
Manufacturing: A global food producer reported it improved audit readiness and prevented losses by linking AI-based analytics with operational data. With industry-specific AI-powered alerts, manufacturing companies can enable alerts for suggested events which could include “person on a ladder” or “person not wearing a hard hat,” designed to help reinforce safety and compliance at scale.
Each example reflects the same outcome: when intelligence and simplicity converge, security becomes proactive, connected, and even more powerful.
From Cameras to Complete Physical Security
Video is only the beginning. Verkada’s platform now unifies access control, intercom, alarms, sensors, and visitor management — all managed from Command.
This integration gives organizations a complete picture of their environments, enabling faster decisions and coordinated responses — whether unlocking a door remotely, verifying an incident, or receiving environmental alerts.
What’s Next
Verkada’s position as the #1 worldwide VSaaS provider reflects more than market share — it showcases the common goal of thousands of organizations to modernize their security with cutting-edge technology, and the trust they place in Verkada.
As physical security continues its shift to the cloud, Verkada remains focused on building the operating system for the physical world — a unified platform that helps organizations protect people, property, and privacy more intelligently than ever before.
