The MT81 Cloud-Managed Security Trailer makes it simple to deploy and relocate Verkada security anywhere, including hard-to-wire or temporary locations such as parking lots, construction sites, large events, industrial yards, and law enforcement hot spots. Designed for rapid deployment, every MT81 is solar-powered, cloud-connected, and customizable with up to six Verkada cameras. The trailer comes in two variants: the MT81-6KWH and the MT81-13KWH, each with a different battery capacity to accommodate a range of power requirements. To learn more, read the full announcement.

Organizations with cellular gateways and cameras on transit vehicles can now find footage using GPS location. Users can view the route history of a vehicle, click on a location along it, and view all associated footage. When they do not know the vehicle that captured an event, they can also select a location of interest and see all vehicles that passed through within a certain timeframe.

The GC31 and GC31-E Cellular Gateways are now supported in Command organizations on AWS GovCloud. The Cellular Gateway License for Government starts at $449 for one year, and the Cellular Gateway Data Plan License for Government starts at $999 for one year. For a full list of SKUs and pricing, please refer to the GC31 datasheet.

Our new outdoor Wi-Fi gateway makes it simple to deploy Verkada anywhere with power and Wi-Fi, including hard-to-wire locations like parking lots, fence lines, and school grounds. This allows for cost-effective perimeter deployments as organizations can avoid trenching cable and recurring costs for cellular data. Read the full announcement.

One of the benefits of the Verkada Data Plan is multi-carrier redundancy in the US with automatic failover when one network is down. We’re excited to extend this benefit to our international customers, as multi-carrier redundancy is now available in over 30 countries including the UK, Canada, Australia, and most of the EU.

US customers are now able to freely choose whether they want to use Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile via device settings page, allowing them to select the carrier they know works best for a given site. For customers that don’t want to worry about carrier selection, we have a default  “Automatic” option, where we select the carrier based on a variety of factors including speed, latency, and signal strength. 

The carrier selection feature will be available for US customers using the Verkada data plan beginning Nov 19th.

Customers can now configure the GC31-E’s PoE input as a LAN port, thus passing LTE data over the port. This reduces installation complexity when a PoE switch is needed to extend the amount of power or ports for connected devices, such as cameras. In particular, the switch can send power to the gateway’s PoE input while getting LTE data back for connected devices.

Customers can now set up a GC31 or GC31-E cellular gateway as a site-to-site IPsec VPN client. This allows customers to enable RTSP for connected cameras, or bring cameras into their real-time crime center without installing separate Fusus cores at each remote deployment.

Customers can now set up and receive alerts for:

WAN failover mode allows the GC31 and GC31-E to act as an uplink to your existing network and fall back to cellular data if necessary. This helps customers ensure that their security devices remain online and operational even when their primary network experiences downtime.
