24/7 Peace of Mind

Security is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Detect intruders using cameras, intrusion sensors, or both, and choose the level of professional monitoring you need for your organization.

  • Use Cameras to Detect Intruders

    Monitored cameras act as a complete alarm system, helping you increase security while reducing the need for in-person guards.

  • Pair Cameras and Intrusion Sensors

    Add intrusion sensors alongside cameras for maximum protection. Agents can video-verify events to screen out false alarms and help you get priority police response.

  • Standalone Intrusion Sensors

    A modern intrusion system with built-in alarm monitoring that lets you view and manage events, devices, and users from anywhere.

How Professional Monitoring Works

Trained agents can verify and respond to threats for you, or simply let you know that unusual activity was detected.

Turn Your Cameras into a Monitored Alarm System

Use cameras to detect people on your property after hours, and get a team of monitoring agents to verify and respond on your behalf.

Still using in-person guards? Verkada can reduce how many you need by improving visibility, screening out false alarms, and taking immediate action, like calling the police or scaring off the intruder.

Increase Security with Video-Verified Intrusion Sensors

Pair intrusion sensors with nearby cameras to get extra protection without the false alarms. Monitoring agents will only escalate verified threats, helping you get priority police response while avoiding false alarm fines.

Upgrade to a Modern Alarm System

Forget what you know and dislike about traditional alarm systems. Even without cameras, Verkada’s intrusion sensors and alarm monitoring give you better visibility and control over what’s happening on your property. View alarm details, share incident reports, and manage key codes, users, and settings from a single dashboard.
