Smart solutions for
School security
Modernize campus security and empower faster emergency response.
Protect students and staff
Safeguard campus and protect against threats
Speed up investigations in a privacy-sensitive manner
Quickly find critical footage across campus. Type a description or upload a photo to retrieve relevant video using optional AI-powered analytics. Trace a person’s journey across multiple cameras and locations with AI-powered unified timeline, viewing their path on a floorplan for faster investigations.
Protect student privacy with features such as live face blur and privacy regions when viewing real-time footage, or selective face blur when saving footage for review. Plus, easily specify site-level permissions, controlling which users or groups can access video feeds.
Secure and seamless visitor entry
Screen new visitors against sex offender registries and criminal databases with Verkada Guest, discreetly notifying staff of any matches – all from a simple ID scan. Plus, returning visitors can skip the line via a QR code or using facial recognition at the front office. For attendance management, track student tardies and early dismissal sign-outs via built-in integrations with SIS providers like Clever, ClassLink, and PowerSchool.
Transform emergency response
Spreed up response times against active threats. Initiate a campus-wide lockdown instantly via desktop, mobile app, or mounted panic button. Secure classroom doors with Verkada wireless locks, minimizing the cost and hassle of wiring each door. Reduce delays by remotely granting law enforcement access to specific doors while keeping other doors locked.
Share live camera feeds with police
Reduce incident response time by granting user access to law enforcement agencies or streaming camera footage directly to their real-time crime centers (RTCCs) through Verkada real-time streaming protocol (RTSP). Share live floorplans and corresponding camera feeds via SMS or a direct link to reveal campus activity hotspots and assist responding officers onsite.
Enhance parking lot security
Keep watch over parking lots and nearby streets during busy student pick-ups and drop-offs. Capture license plates of unsafe drivers with powerful license plate recognition (LPR) technology and easily share this information with police. Notify school resource officers when flagged vehicles approach the school with license plate of interest (LPOI) alerts.
