Access control unit (ACU) tamper alerts allow organizations to monitor the ACU for unwanted tampering. The alerts utilize a switch on the ACU’s enclosure door to determine if the door has been opened.  

Supervised wiring allows organizations to more easily manage the integrity of their access control deployments by monitoring the status of wire connections from controllers to REX and AUX devices. 

We’re introducing a new Command tool that shows cable connection status to help ensure consistent power runs and reader performance. Users can also see which generation of Verkada reader is connected to the door.

We’ve given the door page an end-to-end overhaul to surface the most critical information. Improvements include separating the unlock button from the override button, streamlining the look and feel of the Door, Access, and Schedules tabs without context cameras, and building new scrubbing functionality into door events.

We’ve streamlined the bulk creation of users in situations when API or SCIM integrations are not feasible with enhanced CSV upload functionality. Customers and partners can now easily create numerous user profiles, identify errors in their CSV formatting and data, rectify errors with prompts and suggestions from Verkada, and receive a concise report on the upload's success.

The door unlock API allows organizations to unlock doors via new API endpoints. With the API, organizations can query for a list of all doors managed in Command. Developers can also send a request to unlock a door based on a user's access permissions or as an administrator.

Our new session management capabilities allow admins to manage a user's total number of active logins at a particular time. When enabled, users attempting to start more than the permitted number of Verkada Pass app sessions will automatically be logged out of the first logged-in device.

From Command, admins can pair up to two context cameras to every Schlage Control series lock. When paired with a context camera, door events include associated camera footage and camera-enabled functionality like tailgate and crowd detection.

Verkada Command now supports ASSA ABLOY WiFi and PoE locks. 

On April 18, two new software features will become available to all access control customers:

• Users with access: From the door access report and the door page, users can now select the 'users with access' column to display a side panel widget of all users with access to that door.

• AUX input P2P door unlocks: P2P local device connection now supports door unlocks triggered by AUX Inputs. This feature eliminates the need to broker door unlocks between controllers via the cloud. To simplify the management of this feature, users can also see the cross-device connection status of any P2P connected AUX Inputs from the device page in Command. This new intuitive icon displays the connection status to let users quickly understand if a P2P AUX input unlock is being processed locally or via the cloud.
