Verkada Reviews for Facilities Management
Integrated Video Security, Access Control, and Sensors “With Verkada, the integration between access control and video security is seamless. Door events are automatically synced with security footage, so we are able to close investigations in minutes rather than days. The ability to remotely access, share video, unlock doors from the mobile app has also been a huge time-saver.”

Easy-to-Use Web and Mobile Platform “The desktop experience and app are both incredibly easy to use. I’m able to do everything, end-to-end, from wherever I am: activate the cameras, assign permissions, find footage, archive clips, or share feeds with outside folks.”

Zero Maintenance, Clear TCO, and Automatic Updates “With Verkada, I have a clear view of the total cost of ownership. Eliminating unplanned expenses has allowed us to budget more effectively and given us more resources to put toward new initiatives. Security updates are pushed automatically, without us having to jump through any technical loopholes. Keeping our system up-to-date is no longer a task we need to think about, which saves our team significant time and overhead. ”

Proactive Security with Future-Proof Technology “Our facilities manager showed other bidders Verkada’s demo, and their response was, ‘We can’t compete with that.’ I was won over by the ease of installation, usability, future-proofing, and the fact that I get a 10-year warranty on all the cameras regardless of the licensing time. I now have a proactive solution that’s very intuitive, I don’t have to look at a camera to know if it’s obstructed—I’ll receive a notification. As far as investment is concerned, features like Heatmaps, Crowd Notifications, People Search far surpassed traditional CCTV functionality.”

Find and Share Footage in Minutes “I no longer have to worry about maintaining external servers, plus we have better coverage and a solution that we can effectively use for staff and client coaching. Through the Command dashboard we can see where and when a specific incident occurred, pinpoint the behavior or phrase that sparked a reaction, and share this footage with the staff member or client so they can overcome that learning curve.”

Personalized Permissions for Site Managers ”Our supervisors each have their own set of personalized permissions to access cameras for their respective areas. If they’re mobile, they’re able to view them from their phones. There was no learning curve to start using Command. We had a demo in the office, I sent our users a link to their accounts, and that was it.”

Increase Coverage without Impacting Bandwidth “I’ve never used anything like Verkada before. It was easy to get started, use and manage sites day-to-day. Not only is monitoring significantly improved, I’m able to deploy cameras across areas that we simply couldn’t cover before because of infrastructure limitations or poor connectivity.”

User-Friendly, Multi-Site Management “Verkada could not get any simpler or more user friendly. It’s perfect for any multi-site location looking to scale.”

Environmental Monitoring with Real-Time Alerts “We have sensors deployed in our data centers to prevent uninterruptible power supply (UPS) failures. Temperature is the main one we monitor for, along with volatile organic compounds; I’m notified via SMS if thresholds fall out of a preset range.” Stinson Lamb, Associate Director of Facilities, Helix Read Full Verkada Review >
Full Data Ownership: Protect People, Property, and Privacy “With Verkada, we know our data belongs to us. We have clarity and control over what happens to the information collected in video surveillance, it won’t be transferred or sold to any third-party organizations or business partners. We have rights over what is shared with and without our knowledge. Rather than uncertainty, I have full transparency and oversight.”

Up to 4K Resolution, Remote Video Monitoring “We’re able to monitor remotely if we need to, our Regional Manager can see what’s going on all the way from our headquarters. The video is so crisp that I can simultaneously view both my clubrooms and immediately see if gatherings are too large, or if people aren’t wearing masks. It saves us from running around to all these different areas, instead we just look at the cameras.”
