Verkada’s video intercom system replaces fixed receiver stations, hard-wired installations, and static configurations with simplified hardware and intuitive yet powerful cloud-based software. Verkada’s new TD52 Video Intercom provides sharp video and intelligible audio across four smart receiver types. Now, organizations can take calls on the Verkada Pass iOS and Android application, on the new Verkada Desk Station iPad app and via existing telephone numbers. Additionally, in March 2023, we will launch support for call receiving via Verkada Command.
In addition to clear audio and video and flexible receiver options, Verkada Intercom leverages Verkada Command to give users an even more building entry and security capabilities. In Command, admins can specify smart call routing flows, review call events and annotated call logs, configure devices and leverage Verkada video security cameras for their eye-level mounted TD52 Video Intercom.
Together, these capabilities give organizations the ability to improve building entry security and truly take calls from anywhere. For more information on Verkada Intercom, please read the launch blog for Verkada Intercom.
One of the benefits of Verkada’s air quality sensors is simplified alerting capabilities that allows organizations to better understand what is happening in their environments. To make it even easier for organizations to view and analyze their sensor data, Verkada is releasing new sensor analytics features.
Sensor analytics will give customers a new way to track and monitor alert trends across their organization. Organizations can now understand environmental trends and behaviors at the organization, site and device level. This capability will give customers a way to quickly see, for example:
Which schools or bathrooms have the most vape events
Which manufacturing areas have the highest noise levels
What server rooms experience the most temperature alerts
Sensor analytics will be available starting February 23rd.
To meet the needs of our growing global customer base, we have expanded our language offerings and are pleased to announce Command and Verkada website support for French, Spanish and Japanese.
Our 2nd generation bullet cameras are now able to capture license plates for vehicles traveling at speeds up to 80mph / 128kph, a significant improvement from the 25 mph / 40kph capability of our previous generation. For the first time, we are also able to support LPR coverage across up to three lanes, simplifying installations for our customers and expanding the results that can be gathered by a single camera.
We have also significantly improved the investigation capabilities for current and previous generation bullet cameras in LPR mode. These improvements include the ability to review historical footage, conduct motion searches, and create archives. Navigation has also been streamlined, with the option to easily switch between LPR and context camera views while reviewing events. Thanks to these software updates, installing a separate context camera is now fully optional.
Verkada provides automatic firmware updates for the cameras to ensure that customers have the latest software features and security patches. Today, we are very excited to announce scheduled firmware updates. Customers now have the ability to specify a time window, when updates can happen, respecting customers’ infrastructure needs. The ability to schedule firmware updates is generally available today for all customers.
To help expedite and streamline the initial configuration process, we are excited to announce 'quick setup' for cameras. With this feature, Command now supports the ability to (optionally) copy settings from an existing camera to one that is being newly installed. When installing a camera to a site, users will be able to select from a dropdown list of all the cameras that are already in that site and apply settings from the latter to the former.
To help make transparency, privacy, and compliance simpler for our customers, we now offer a Verkada Privacy & Security disclosure. Using this feature, customers can communicate which products and features are being used in their organization.
Today, we are excited to announce a new feature called "people heatmaps" that goes beyond security to provide greater insight into activity on the premises. This feature allows customers to view a history of individuals' movements on floorplans and uses color-coded contours to show areas of high activity.
With the launch of the Alert page, customers can now see and manage all their Camera Alerts in a single location. Mimicking functionality of a traditional email inbox, the Alert page gives an overview of all Alerts the customer has set up, as well as the notifications they have received from that Alert. This helps streamline the investigation workflow and reduce the risk that incidents go undetected.
Helix is a powerful tool that enables customers to add context to their video security footage, thus expanding and accelerating the business value of Verkada's Command platform beyond physical security. With the help of Verkada's flexible APIs, Helix empowers customers to extract transaction data from various on-premises or cloud-based systems and integrate it into Verkada Command. Helix then utilizes this data to index video footage based on specific attributes required by the customer. Finally, Helix offers flexible search tools, making it easy for customers to locate the exact video they need.
Feature Manager will includes a "Compliance Report" pdf view that provides a succinct summary of all feature settings at both the organization and device level, including when a feature’s status was last modified and by whom. It is designed to be a resource that organizations can use to support compliance and audit processes.
Compliance Reports will become available with Feature Manager by the end of February 2023.

Live Viewers gives Command users deeper visibility into who is watching a camera’s live stream, and provides organizations and site admins new, expanded controls to manage access to video feeds.
With Feature Manager, Organization Admins can disable or permanently remove certain features at the organization level. Currently supported features include audio recording, people detection, facial recognition, vehicle detection, license plate recognition, and more.
Feature Manager will become available by the end of February 2023.
The 2nd generation of bullet cameras deliver better image quality, improved analytics, and an easier installation experience. Additionally, the new bullet cameras power a drastically improved License Plate Recognition (LPR) experience that can work at higher speeds and deliver a higher level of accuracy. The new Bullet series will include two wide-angle models (CB52-E and CB62-E) and two telephoto models (CB52-TE and CB62-TE). All 2nd generation bullet cameras will include a new system on a chip (SOC) with a dedicated computer vision co-processor.
We are excited to announce two new mounting accessories for Verkada Cameras: the square junction box and the camera weather sheild. The junction box mount makes it easier to mount Bullet cameras and keeps PoE cable connections safe and protected from the elements and potential vandalism. The camera weather shield is a great addition for outdoor Dome and Fisheye camera installations, providing protection from UV rays, solar glare, and bird discharge. The visor also helps to prevent rain and snow from affecting the camera's image quality and can help extend the lifetime of your cameras.
At the end of January, we're going to be rolling out usability and manageability updates to our Access Control and Workplace product lines. Specifically:
Lockdown outputs on the AX11 - extending lockdown output capabilities to AX11 devices.
First Person In - a new schedule change type that requires an authorized user to badge in before permitting entry to other users.
Bluetooth setting updates - a new Admin toggle that automatically enables Bluetooth for all new users.
Add door flow improvements - configuration updates that make it easier to add new doors.

Command Mobile Version 3.23.2 - install individual alarm devices or orders containing alarm devices from Command Mobile.
To learn more about these updates, please read the detailed updates below.
To ensure that organizations never have a door unlocked without staff present, we have developed First Person In capabilities for Verkada Command. This feature requires an authorized user to present a valid credential before permitting access to any other user. With First Person In, Admins can configure door schedules so that specified doors remain locked and secure until an authorized member of a supervised group arrives and presents their credential during the scheduled period.
For example, Admins can configure a schedule change from door locked to unlocked that occurs at a set time, say 9am. With First Person In, that Admin can configure this schedule change to only occur if members of certain group - say managers - check in before the 9am unlock schedule is set to begin. This feature will not only make organizations safer but will also save time and make buildings more operationally efficient.
We are excited to announce that on January 31st we will release an updated version of Command Mobile.
With this update, users will be able to install individual alarm devices or orders containing alarm devices, right from Command Mobile. Additionally, during setup, users can create a new alarm sites or convert an existing ones to assign contacts and enable emergency dispatch. Users can also verify the successful pairing of alarm devices after installation.
The new version of Command Mobile will support the following alarm devices: BX21, BR31, BR32, BR33, BR34, BR35, BC51, BH61, ACC–CEL–LTE.
Easily add employees to your host and employee lists for both Guest and Mailroom by simply entering a name, email, and phone number directly into Command. For bulk additions, customers can leverage the new CSV upload and AD sync capabilities.
As more organizations continue to deploy the Verakda Pass App, we have made it even easier for organization admins to set up Bluetooth. Specifically, we have added a checkbox in Access Control > Admin > Organization Settings that allows organizations to automatically enable Bluetooth for all new users.
In 2022, we allowed customers to build impressive dashboards to display and track the air quality in their buildings. Customers have since created over 2,000 unique dashboards to monitor and view their air quality data. To further help customers showcase the health and safety of their environments, Verkada will allow customers to share their air quality dashboards using our live link technology.
Starting February 3rd, customers can send out air quality dashboard live links to any email, phone number, or Verkada Command contact list. All air quality customers can take advantage of this feature. With live links, recipients can also view the air quality dashboard without a Verkada Command login.
Additionally, to make it easier for customers to deploy dashboards to displays, we’re introducing the Dashboard Pairing feature. This means, any smart TV or browser-enabled display can go to vkda.co/pair and be paired to an air quality dashboard live link through a simple pairing process, without requiring a login.
To make it even easier for organizations to set up a first door we have improved the add door flow in Verkada Command. These updates will shorten the time from install to successful unlock to just a few clicks. This update will save installers and system administrators time during the initial door set up process. This feature will be automatically added to all existing Access Control orgs on January 27, 2023.
Verkada is announcing the upcoming End-of-Sale for the SV11 Environmental Sensor. Final orders for the SV11 must be received by March 1st, 2023.
Verkada has successfully completed a SOC 2 Type 2 audit, conducted by the independent auditor Geels & Norton. SOC 2 Type 2 compliance validates that Verkada is complying with industry standards in the design and performance of its controls for handling customer data securely.
As part of this software release, deleted users will now be accessible from the main users page of Admin. A user can have one of three statuses: active, deactivated or deleted. The list of all deleted users in an organization can be viewed by filtering on the status column. Audit Log events specific to a user, as well as their Access History (where applicable) can both be accessed from the deleted user's profile.
Beginning February 1, 2023, we will be eliminating price breaks for multi-year Alarm Licenses. The updated prices will look as follows:

For customers looking to integrate intrusion deterrence into their wireless Alarms solution, the new BX21 Wireless Relay allows organizations to wirelessly control deterrence devices, such as sirens and strobe lights. These devices can be configured as automated alarm responses to instantly turn on when an alarm is triggered, allowing faster responses in situations where seconds count. Learn More
On October 27, Verkada Access Control added updated lock override controls to the door detail page in Command.
This update made door lock configurations more intuitive and powerful with a newly redesigned slide-out drawer. In addition to the redesigned slide-out drawer, users were able to access lock controls to override a door's lock state for an indefinite period of time, right from a door detail page. These updated Lock Override Controls add powerful capabilities in a simple, intuitive interface, making it easier for customers to manage and update lock controls day-to-day.
With Guest's deny list feature, you can restrict unwanted guests from visiting your premises. If a person on your block list tries to walks-in, you can get notified and can take quick action to approve or deny their visits.
Verkada Mailroom admins can now export a CSV file of mailroom logs, including the details, such as: Recipient Name, scanned arrival date and time, picked-up date and time, tracking #, location and package weight.
To provide a spectacular experience for your visitors, we have released a suite of features to fully leverage the power of color printing within Verkada Guest:
Supported Branding. Admins can edit their badge logo and colors to ensure that visitors will be greeted with the most favorable impression of their brand.
Border Colors by Guest Type. Border color and treatment can now be applied to specific Guest Types to convey important information at a glance.
Badge of the Day themes. When enabled, it prints special-edition badges for 30+ holidays and special occasions, perfect for providing a personal touch to the guest experience. You can stop by the front desk today to check out our first commemorative badge, the first day of the fall season.
Verkada Command now supports user deactivation (through both Command and SCIM). When a user is deactivated, their active sessions and Access Control credentials are revoked and they can no longer log into any Verkada applications. All roles, group memberships, Access Control credentials and notifications will be preserved and restored if/when the user is reactivated.
Verkada Access Control allows Admins to suspend a user's door permissions without their revoking Command privilege. Verkada continues to provide additional granularity to managing User permissions.
Verkada enables customers to set alerts based on duration. For example, users will be able to raise an alert if the noise level exceeds 95dB for one minute or more. To learn more, please check out this help.verkada.com article.
As of September 22 2022, every new SV11 Environment Sensor is now preconfigured with default event thresholds. With these thresholds, events will be created anytime the Vape Index, Temperature, Relative Humidity or Noise levels exceed the predefined threshold levels. Users will see the events within Command anytime a threshold is crossed, but these events will not generate alerts. Administrators can modify the default sensor thresholds and enable alerts (via SMS, email or other) when these event levels are surpassed.
Please view this blog post to learn more.
Starting September 22, 2022, Verkada enables default events thresholds on all existing Sensor devices that do not yet have any event thresholds set up. To help better utilize sensor events, default Sensor events will be set up on the Vape, Temperature, Humidity and Audio Sensor pages for any existing Sensor device that do not have existing event thresholds configured. These default thresholds will generate events in Command but will not trigger alerts via SMS or email. Administrators can modify the default sensor thresholds and enable alerts (via SMS, email or other) when events are created.
Please view this blog post to learn more.
With the new Verkada Guest API, customers can pull all the different types of visitor information out of Guest for their own analysis (e.g. list of visits per site), piping it into their own centralized system. The API documentation is found here.
Command users will now see icons instead of strings of images when they land on the Search tab. With this change, users will have to click on one of three icons to search for “Recent People”, “Profiles”, or “Recent Vehicles”.
In the profile tab in Command, users can now assign custom tags to profiles - and group profiles based on specific tags. Profile tagging makes it easier to keep your profiles organized and searchable.
We now support bulk configuration of Motion, Crowd and Tamper events. Previously, administrators had to set up these events individually per camera. Now, these customers will be able to use our bulk edit functionality to quickly configure events across all their devices, thereby improving configuration quality and freeing up valuable time.
We’re releasing two new endpoints for our Public API - Occupancy Trends and Object positioning metadata, that enables a number of new analytics use cases for customers that have cameras with Occupancy Trends enabled.
In addition, we’re releasing a new permissioning system for our public API to allow customers to create multiple API keys with different permission levels. This allows admins to increase the security of their integrations by ensuring API keys are application specific and have the minimal number of permissions required
We have updated the look and feel of the Groups page and added new functionalities that make it easier to navigate. With these changes, admins can now:
Search for a group by name and/or by whether its externally managed
Bulk edit site roles for a group, using the new ‘Manage Roles’ interface
Manage members and site roles in dedicated pages, that are easy to navigate between
For more information on this feature, see this article on help.verkada.com.
We’re excited to announce that environmental sensor events will be available on the Events page in Command. This allows customers to review their sensor events across all sites and devices in a single event feed. The feed automatically updates as new events come in, allowing customers to easily see the latest status of sensor feeds they are monitoring. In addition, customers can filter their sensor events by site, device, event type and time, thus allowing them to investigate trends and correlations across sensor readings. To get started, go to the Events page and click the ‘Environmental’ tab on the left hand side of the event feed.
As a security enhancing measure, email verification will now be required for all users that log in to the Verkada software platform. If you are an unverified user, you will be required to verify your email upon your next login.
For more information on this update, please see this article.
We’re excited to announce Verkada Mailroom, our newest software product that incorporates mailroom management software into your physical security architecture. Keep track of shipments and get deliveries to the right people. Simply scan shipping labels to notify recipients and manage deliveries - no additional hardware required. Learn More
With Occupancy Trends, customers can estimate how many people cross a customizable digital line on a video feed and analyze how foot traffic changes throughout the day. Our CD42/CD42-E and CD52/CD52-E cameras now support this feature. Learn More
The new Slack integration with Verkada Guest makes it easy for employees get notified when their visitor has arrived. To enable, org admins just go to the Guest Settings page, scroll down to the Slack section, and connect your Slack Workspace.
We’re excited to announce that Verkada Alarms is now available in the United Kingdom and across Europe. With the addition of Alarms, organizations from single-site retailers to major hospitals, are now able to leverage the power of the complete Verkada platform.
Alarms includes 24/7 professional monitoring with video verification, a complete suite of wireless and wired intrusion sensors, a cellular backup module, and a multi-functional security console. Emergency dispatch is available in select countries.
With Verkada Guest, hosts are able to send check-in invites to visitors from their calendar, and receive notifications via e-mail or SMS when their visitor has arrived.
Now, hosts have more control over what information is shared to their visitors. At guest.verkada.com, hosts can start editing preferences, such as adding a profile photo, customizing their notification preferences, choosing a preferred name, etc.
We’re excited to announce our new activity summary emails for your Verkada Cameras. The summary emails give a monthly overview of the uptime, usage statistics and alerts generated by your cameras. Each email shows you the size and scope of your deployment, which can be used to share progress updates and insights with users and stakeholders.
We have refreshed the look and feel of the User Profile as well as added some key functionality to make it easier to manage users across sites. With these new updates, admins can:
filter by a users’ role or by site
add or remove sites associated with a user directly from the new ‘Manage Roles’ button
take quick actions directly from the user list, such as resetting 2FA or removing the user
edit the user’s name directly from the user profile or when adding a user
Customers are now able to record details of every alarm event that occurs, including whether it was real alarm, false alarm, or a testing event, as well as what type of incident occurred. Customers are able to view this collection of data, providing a record of exactly what happened for each alarm incident.
We’re excited to announce Environmental Sensor Dashboards, a new way for our customers to easily customize, view, analyze, and display data across all of their sensors. These dashboards allow our customers to get a unified view of their environment across multiple sensors, multiple sensor readings, locations, and periods of time.
Dashboards are designed to be displayed on a big screen, so organizations can publicly showcase their environmental data. Employees, visitors, regulators, and more will be able to see important factors such as temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality as they enter the building.
Two new features make it easier for admins to manage Alarms across multiple sites:
In addition to site-based keycodes used to arm or disarm a specific location, we have added user-based keycodes that can be used across any site where the user has access. Admins only need to generate a single keycode per user, rather than a different code for every site where that employee has access, saving them a huge amount of time.
To further reduce the complexity of multi-site management, a single Alarm Console is now able to support multiple sites or subsites (i.e. different floors of a building), rather than needing a separate Console for each. This makes it faster and easier for users to arm or disarm multiple sites at once.
Customers can now select up to 10 live camera feeds in each alarm site to share with monitoring agents (and police, if needed) when an alarm is raised. This is in addition to historical video clips of the alarm being raised. Access to these live feeds helps monitoring agents and emergency services understand what’s happening in real time and how to respond. Agents can also relay this information to the customer on the phone to provide helpful context.
This feature allows hosts to send check-in invites to guests from their calendar in order to streamline check-in for large groups, provides a VIP experience to special guests, and simplifies new hire onboarding.
In addition, Guests’ integration with Verkada Access Control means that invited and RSVP’d guests can now unlock doors. When enabled for specific guest types, visitors that are invited as that guest type will get an email with links to unlock doors.
To get started, the host simply selects what type of guest they are inviting (“New Hire”, “Visitor”, “Delivery”, etc.) and a custom email is generated for that selected Guest Type.
