Verkada Reviews: Security for Banks, Credit Unions, and Financial Institutions
Linda Cheng
Integrated Marketing Manager
As banks continue to be high-stakes targets for robberies, the right security system setup can provide invaluable evidence for law enforcement and a preliminary defense against threat actors.
Bank video security systems—inclusive of cameras, access control, and sensors—help financial institutions identify People of Interest and protect customer accounts. With a modern solution such as Verkada, bank security is integrated into a single network, simplifying management and reducing response times by over 75%.
Verkada Reviews from Banks, Credit Unions, and Financial Institutions
Cloud-Based Physical Security Management “Our world is all about mitigating risk. With Verkada, we combine all our physical security needs on one management interface. We get more functionality, and it continues us down the path of pushing everything to cloud services wherever possible.”
Brian Nowak, Information Technology (IT) Director, Corporate Central Credit Union Read Full Verkada Review >
Integrated Video Surveillance and Access Control “We started using Verkada’s technology as a track-and-trace system. It’s been especially helpful during the pandemic, as we’re particularly vigilant about who is coming in and out of our buildings. By keying in on door activity, we understand the frequency of site visitors at a high-level. Then we look to space out visits to reduce the likeliness of unnecessary exposure and crowding–we’re doing our best to keep the workplace safe at this time.”

Easy to Manage Software Platform with Immediate Benefits “In this environment, it’s very unusual for us to try something and have it work—the first time and every time. Verkada provides the security and simplicity that we need.”

Remote Access via Mobile App or Web Browser “With the DVR, we had to configure and VPN in to view the cameras. After moving to Verkada, we are able to access them anywhere, anytime, on any device. We can instantly tap into the app on our phone, go through the motion timeline, and make sure people walking through the door are wearing masks. If an issue comes up I send out a quick email to the support team, they hop in and fix it remotely at no cost or very little action required from us. It’s a seamless process.”

Resolve Incidents in Seconds with Advanced Search Filters “On our old cameras, there was no way to filter through footage; you had to scroll through feeds, minute by minute, day by day. With Verkada, we’re able to pinpoint most incidents in minutes–the amount of time (and headaches) saved have been immeasurable. The ability to highlight a particular area within a frame and playback only motion events has already cut incident response time in half. I’m not scrubbing through hours of footage, attentively watching to see if something happened within a blink of an eye. These computer vision capabilities produce results in seconds.”

Share Footage Quickly via SMS, Email, or Video Link “When we evaluated Verkada’s solution against our existing system, there was no comparison. We now have a much higher level of confidence. If there is an incident, and my team needs to forward information to law enforcement, they can easily capture and transfer the footage.”

Secure-By-Default Data Storage, Security, and Transmission “We don’t have to touch the cameras, automatic updates just happen. As a highly-regulated industry, we require a SOC-compliant data center to ensure security and confidentiality. Verkada met our criteria for secure data storage with AWS, which meets high industry standards for protecting our data.”
