Stay ahead of perimeter threats
Transform after-hours security with AI-powered talkdown
Verkada cameras alert facilities managers to unusual activity, allowing them to remotely broadcast live or pre-recorded warnings through horn speakers. Take after-hours security to the next level with automatic deterrence – AI-powered talkdown delivers live, personalized audio warnings to scare off intruders.
Get instant alerts for flagged visitors or their vehicles
Easily notify school security personnel when a troublesome visitor or their vehicle approaches — simply upload a photo, enter a license plate number, or provide a description of the person or their vehicle to set an alert. At entrances, intercom in-call (POI) alerts discreetly alert receptionists to unsafe visitors, allowing them to deny entry and call for assistance.
Reconstruct a timeline of events
Easily piece together events after a security incident, including acts of trespassing or vandalism. Track a person’s journey across multiple cameras and locations with AI-powered unified timeline, seeing their path on a floorplan for faster investigations.
Keep bad actors away from campus
Perimeter threats don’t just happen after hours. Verkada Guest, a digital visitor management system, allows receptionists to check new visitors in and run additional searches against sex offender registries and criminal databases. Flagged visitors can be added to an auto-deny list; when they return, security personnel are immediately notified for fast intervention.
Reduce false alarms after hours
Cloud-managed cameras paired with round-the-clock virtual monitoring safeguard campus grounds and facilities, even when you’re not there. With Verkada Alarms, trained agents review live camera feeds to verify threats, then notify staff or dispatch responding officers, reducing false alarms and accelerating police response.
