Speed up investigations and protect privacy

Protect privacy with a range of controls, including face blurring and camera access restrictions. Learn more in our Trust Hub.
Reconstruct a timeline of events
Easily piece together events after a security incident on campus. Trace a person’s journey across multiple cameras and locations with AI-powered unified timeline, seeing their path on a floor plan for faster investigations. Add relevant door events, such as unlocks, tailgating, and held-open doors, for additional context around an incident, and see them in the same unified timeline view in Verkada Command.
Monitor buses from anywhere
Bring visibility to the entire bus fleet with Verkada transportation cameras, powered by a cloud-connected transportation gateway. Filter footage by bus, date, location, or time in Command, or click the location of an incident along a vehicle’s trip to view the corresponding footage. Transportation gateways automatically detect driving events such as speeding, harsh braking, and sharp turns, aiding investigations and enhancing safety for passengers and drivers.
Get alerts for fighting and vaping
Notify designated staff the moment a fight breaks out with camera-based fight detection, allowing them to intervene quickly. Further protect students with instant vape alerts from indoor air quality sensors. Easily deploy sensors inside vaping hotspots like bathrooms and changing rooms, while cameras positioned outside entrances help identify the students involved without compromising privacy.
Bring visibility to access events
Verkada access control natively integrates with our cameras for enhanced visibility across campus. Pair cameras with access-controlled doors to automatically display relevant footage alongside door-based alerts, helping teams quickly assess incidents and understand what happened. Get notifications for forced entry, tailgating, wireless lock tampering, and other suspicious events.
Improve campus safety and accountability
Share interactive site maps
With Verkada maps, school safety teams and emergency responders can access a digital replica of each building on campus, including floorplans, mapped devices, embedded video feeds, and nearby landmarks — all in one view from Verkada Command. Quickly share maps via SMS or a direct link to help teams locate people and focus their response.
Streamline incident documentation
Easily document and archive incidents — from fights to active threats — with a digital system that sorts video clips in chronological order and generates PDF reports in one click. Share these reports with internal staff or law enforcement, providing them with the context they need to review evidence and understand what happened.
Audit misconduct claims
Review allegations of misconduct using objective video evidence. Quickly find and share video clips from cameras across campus and provide disciplinary authorities with clear, timestamped evidence. Selectively blur the faces of individuals not involved in the incident to help maintain privacy standards when archiving and sharing footage.
