Smart solutions for

Retail security and analytics

Modernize your retail operations with next-gen security technology and AI-powered analytics.

Security meets AI-powered intelligence

Reduce shrink, optimize store performance, and help workers feel safer

Piece incidents together faster with AI

Stop wasting time. Search across your entire camera fleet in seconds using reverse image search, license plate lookups, or plain-text queries. From thefts to slip and falls, see the full story, including people, vehicles, and repeat offender activity across multiple locations.

Verkada automatically tracks people and vehicles across cameras, creating a complete timeline of events with activity mapped on store floorplans. Manage all video evidence in one place and generate incident reports that give law enforcement the full context needed for investigations.

Fight retail fraud

Unlock powerful exception-based reporting with Helix, Verkada’s engine for turning your point-of-sale (POS) or order management data (OMS) into searchable criteria. Use transaction details to rapidly surface video evidence to prove chargeback fraud, detect fraudulent returns, uncover sweethearting, or validate missing item claims.

Guard against after-hours intrusion

Spot unauthorized activity across your stores, distribution centers, or parking lots with alarm sensors, camera detections, or access control triggers. Automatically deter intruders with AI-generated voice messages played via a horn speaker. If activity persists, a human agent can step in, video verify, and dispatch police immediately.

Power faster incident response

Equip store associates with under-counter wireless panic buttons for emergency assistance. With one click, alert internal security teams or call the police directly in case of aggressive customers or violent incidents. Easily share video clips or live cameras feeds with police via SMS or a direct link to aid response.

Optimize store performance and warehouse operations

Turn video footage into actionable insights — track store foot traffic, queue lengths and wait times, and sales conversion rates to improve store layouts, staffing, and marketing promotions. At the same time, people heatmaps in warehouses reveal movement patterns, providing insights to reduce congestion, lower injury risk, and improve operational flow.
