We are offering three pre-built integrations to the following third-party, on-premise video management systems: Milestone XProtect, Wisenet WAVE, and exacqVision. These integrations allow customers to receive and view sensor event data within their VMS system, eliminating the need to build custom APIs or manually match sensor events to camera footage. 

For more details, read our full announcement. 

With Sensor Calibration, customers can use reference devices (e.g. a thermometer) to offset and adjust sensor readings (e.g. temperature). To date, this feature has supported our temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter readings. Now, we are excited to add the Noise (dB) reading to the supported set of sensor readings.

Customers now have multiple options for how they view event history. In addition to viewing sensor graphs and video footage side-by-side, sensor data can now be overlaid on the live and historical video feed. We’ve heard from customers that this unified view makes it easier to consume and interpret event history for certain audiences.  Additionally, customers can expand this unified view to full screen to better examine finer details captured in the footage.

We’ve extended the date ranges on the Event Analytics page beyond pre-set daily, weekly, or monthly periods to allow customers to view data for any time range, even hourly. We’ve also added new UI functionality to allow customers to easily scroll through dates to identify the exact period or trend they want.

Customers can now configure a static IP address for their Verkada sensors. This functionality makes it easier for sensors to maintain consistent network communication without relying on dynamic IP allocation protocols, such as the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Customers can configure static IP addresses on the settings page or in bulk from the Sensor Settings page.

Verkada sensors now have new firmware capabilities and Command software updates to enable all SV11, SV23 and SV25 devices to detect PM 10 and P M4. 

Sensor notifications are now pushed from Command mobile. Push notifications through Command mobile appear instantly and provide a directly embedded camera link for one-tap access to the event footage. 

We are launching Enhanced Alerts, a cross-product camera and sensor feature that integrates people analytics with sensor alerts. Now, all sensors paired with a context camera will have:

• People detection thumbnails show all people detected before, during, and after a sensor alert.

• Activity overlay to mark people or vehicle activity on the sensor alert graph.

Many organizations have regulatory or compliance requirements that require them to regularly calibrate their sensors for critical use cases. To support these use cases, we are launching a calibration interface for SV sensors in Command. This interface allows customers to 1) calibrate their sensors to the required specifications and 2) easily download a certificate to verify compliance.

Verkada air quality sensors now integrate with the popular Building Management System (BMS) protocol BACnet. With this integration, organizations now have the ability to automatically turn on HVAC systems to respond to suboptimal air conditions.
