In this post, we’ll introduce you to a few of the people who make up Verkada’s fast-growing People Team — that’s the team responsible for supporting employees with all their People related needs across our organization, as well as the team that deserves a fair portion of the credit for Verkada’s presence on multiple “Best Place to Work” lists.

The NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection) standards define the mandatory minimum requirements that apply to entities that own or manage U.S. and Canadian electric power grid facilities.

Customers love staying on top of changes in their environment with the SV11 environmental sensor. To enable this functionality, SV11 sensor event thresholds allow customers to set and automatically create events when certain thresholds are exceeded for noise, high temperature, excess humidity, unsafe levels of particulates in the air, or even vape events.

With our growing team of sales and finance all-stars impressing us with their Google Sheets and Excel skills, Verkada co-founder Hans Robertson had an idea to bring this community of pros together for some healthy internal competition.

Today, Verkada is excited to announce two new features that further extend Verkada’s emergency management and physical security capabilities: Roll Call Reports and wireless lock push button functionality. These features add yet more capabilities to Verkada’s access control platform, and further extend the Verkada hybrid-cloud model from security use cases into those focused on user experience and safety.

We are excited to announce Verkada Mailroom, our new mailroom management software that enables organizations to efficiently keep track of shipments and streamline inventory, warehouse, and supply chain operations.

With RTSP, customers can stream footage from Verkada cameras to third party applications and support custom analytics, integrate with points-of-sale systems, or access video from within their existing infrastructure.

Two new API endpoints will be become available on 8/29 - Occupancy Trends and Object positioning metadata. These endpoints enable customers to build their own intelligent applications on top of Verkada’s camera analytics, thereby enabling a number of new use cases.

On 8/29 we will support bulk configuration of Motion, Crowd and Tamper events. Previously, administrators had to set up these events individually per camera. Now, these customers can use our bulk edit functionality to quickly configure events across all their devices, thereby improving configuration quality and freeing up valuable time.
