Verkada Reviews for Loss Prevention and Security Professionals
+50% Reduction in Product Shrinkage “For the past 5-6 years, this location has faced a challenge with product shrinkage—about $100,000-$150,000 annually—primarily due to shoplifting. Yet little had been invested in a truly effective lock-up or security system, whether it be doors or cameras…. Verkada has been key to our proactive loss prevention strategy. We’ve reduced shrinkage by 50% since deploying access control and video security as the backbone to our system, contributing an incremental $60,000+ to our profitability for the fiscal year.”

Intuitive, Easy to Use Software “There are no secrets to becoming successful with Verkada. The way the system works is effortless– from the way it’s installed, to getting it up and running. With the right equipment and the right technology, we’ve been able to drive the business forward, and I’ve gotten great responses and feedback from law enforcement as well. Whether it’s a live feed or an archived clip, they’re excited to be working with the software because it makes them better at their jobs.”

Liability Protection with Objective Video Evidence “Not only are employees better protected, the organization is too. From an operational standpoint, having video evidence at hand saves many teams time and energy in settling a situation. We’re confident that we can playback historical footage and quickly find what we need. With the (motion grid) filter, we’re able to isolate incidents based on where motion occurred in the frame so it takes a lot of the guesswork out of incident response. Once we find the footage that we need, it takes a matter of seconds for us to send that footage via email, or share a direct link. Best of all, we can upload video files directly to insurance portals for workers’ comp claims because exports are saved as MP4s; we no longer need to spend time converting videos before they’re ready to use.”
Nicholas Paczkowski, Director of Safety & Loss Prevention, Goodwill of Greater Washinton Read Full Verkada Review >
People Analytics and Person of Interest Alerts “The People Analytics filters make it possible for my team to find the footage we’re looking for in seconds. We once pinpointed footage of a particular individual just by filtering for clothing attributes; this functionality has unlocked a new level of efficiency.”

+50% Time-Savings with Finding and Sharing Footage “I spend less than half the time I used to on incident resolution, with Verkada everything I need is just a click away. Instead of watching video footage and downloading it onto a memory stick, I can apply a search filter and share the video through a link.”

Live Monitoring from an Intuitive Mobile App “The Command mobile app is great for live monitoring, every one of my managers has it on their phone. If they see any suspicious activity, they can watch the event unfold at high resolution, then confront the individual based on what they see.”

Instant Video Verification via Text Message Link “If an alarm is triggered, I receive a text or email alert with a link to the video footage. I can immediately see into the store, determine what the cause is, and decide whether it warrants a police response. In case I don’t answer their call, Verkada’s 24/7 professional monitoring service will verify the triggered event via video security and call the police if needed.”

Live Viewing Station with Customizable Layouts “The Viewing Station gives our Police Department a live view of events happening during emergency situations. It’s easy to manage as well—through Command I have complete control over how camera grids are set up. Plus, the graphics and processing power provide a fluid experience for the user.”
Jeff Thompson, IT Manager, City of Havre de Grace Read Full Verkada Review >
Ease of Digital Evidence Management
“The camera is at my fingertip whenever I need to go back days or weeks at a time to review surveillance in a certain area. It’s been a huge asset as an investigator. I have up to 365 days of onboard storage, and unlimited cloud-based storage so any footage we archive will be timestamped and kept indefinitely.”
Nathaniel Duley, Detective, City of Parkersburg Read Full Verkada Review >
Find and Share Video Quickly “We used motion grids to highlight areas where the scenes occurred and reviewed all activity from those spots. Soon after, we were able to pinpoint the culprits and their ploy. After sharing the clips with our internal team and local authorities, we successfully arrested the culprits. Additionally, having ‘Person of Interest’ alerts set up will help us continue to mitigate these risks.”

Faster Incident Resolution and Proactive Loss Prevention “Once we can identify where the products are missing from, we can figure out who took it, where, when, and get a picture with our 4K cameras. Using Face Search, we know how many times they’ve been in the building for the last 30 days, and with Person of Interest Notifications we are alerted if they come back.”
Adam Roseneck, Franchise Dealer, Canadian Tire Read Full Verkada Review >
Intelligent Search Filters for People and Vehicles “You can say, ‘I want to know in the past 24 hours, I think there’s someone suspicious outside the building, and I heard he had on a red shirt.’ So I could search, ‘male, red shirt, past 24 hours,’ and it would pull up all images from all cameras that match that.” Jenny Rothboeck, Principal, East Grand Middle School Read Full Verkada Review >
Native Video Integration with Door Access Events “Before Verkada, our officers were getting called to let people into locked buildings every 10-15 minutes. Now, staff members can let themselves into the buildings they need access to, during the exact times they need to be there. It’s freed up my team’s workload so they can focus on high-level safety tasks.”
Alex Wiltz, Director of Public Safety, Chief of Police, and Emergency Management Coordinator, Greenfield Community College Read Full Verkada Review >
Secure Sites Remotely with 24/7 Professional Monitoring “Managers can independently check on their stores from an iPad, even when they’re not onsite. With the sheer number of stores and customers we have, Verkada verifies any ongoing incidents through its professional monitoring service. We no longer need to worry about attending to every single event at 2am.”
