Smart solutions for
School perimeter security
Stay ahead of threats with proactive smart alerts, 24/7 virtual monitoring, and advanced video analytics.
Stay ahead of perimeter threats
Get instant person of interest alerts
Quickly notify school safety staff the moment Verkada cameras detect a flagged individual or their vehicle approaching campus — simply upload a photo, enter a license plate number, or enter a plain-text description to set an alert. At entrances, video intercoms can also trigger person-based alerts from a built-in 5MP camera, discreetly alerting receptionists to unsafe visitors and allowing them to deny entry and call for assistance.
Isolate active threats instantly
Protect campus with a cloud-based access control system. Trigger an instant lockdown from a smartphone, web browser, or mounted panic button. Secure classroom doors with Verkada wireless locks – reducing the cost, complexity, and time of wiring each door. For added safety, doors can be locked from the inside at the press of a button on the lock’s interior, even during a partial lockdown.
Enhance visitor security
Keep a digital visitor log and screen designated visitor types against national sex offender and criminal databases. Visitors can simply scan their driver’s license, and Verkada Guest will automatically check for matches. Add flagged visitors to internal deny lists and receive immediate alerts if they attempt to return. Meanwhile, speed up check-ins for repeat visitors with a QR code scan or facial recognition at the front desk.
Investigate faster using AI
Quickly search across cameras and retrieve relevant footage by entering a plain-text description or uploading a photo of a person or vehicle. Track an individual's journey across multiple cameras and locations with AI-powered unified timeline, seeing their path on an interactive site map for faster investigations. Protect privacy with a range of controls, including face blurring and camera access restrictions. Learn more in our Trust Hub.
Streamline incident management
Create a searchable digital record of every safety incident to quickly see what happened, where it occurred, and who was involved. With Verkada incident reports, video clips are automatically sorted chronologically, and you can generate PDF reports in a single click. Share these reports with school safety teams to identify security gaps, address vulnerabilities, and strengthen campus safety measures.
