Our alerting capabilities are designed to minimize the amount of camera footage security teams have to watch, turning relevant events into proactive and actionable notifications. We’re excited to announce two new alerts that can be configured by users within Verkada Command.
Identify Blocked Doors
Ensuring entrances and exits remain unobstructed is a key part of any facility manager’s job. This allows people to flow seamlessly throughout a building, and promotes prompt egress in the event of an evacuation or emergency.
Our new door blocked alerts periodically analyze camera thumbnails to detect obstructed doors. To avoid false alarms, the system double-checks after a few minutes to ensure that a door is actually blocked and was not temporarily held open or obstructed. If the door remains blocked, designated users are notified immediately.
Detect Wrong-Way Driving
Whether it’s a forklift in a warehouse aisle or a car in a pick-up lane, facilities often rely on one-way traffic flow to keep people safe. Our new wrong-way driving alerts streamline the process of setting up vehicle line crossing alerts, only requiring the user to draw a line and select the intended direction of travel.
Any time a vehicle is detected driving against the desired flow of traffic, a notification will be delivered to users, allowing facilities and security teams to proactively identify unwanted, illegal, or irregular driving maneuvers to help protect people and property.
