We’ve rolled out several enhancements to our LPR zones feature, designed to make tracking more flexible, accurate, and actionable:

• Front and rear plate support: Configure LPR zones to read both front and rear license plates, making it possible to use a single camera to track both entrances and exits.

• Smart plate matching: Automatically combine similar license plate records to prevent duplicate entries caused by character confusion (like matching the letter “O” with the number “0”).

• Public API: Extract zone metrics and individual plate records using public API endpoints, making it easy to export data and create custom reports.

• Vehicle list filtering: Isolate records involving license plates of interest to quickly identify relevant data.

Assign priority levels to certain users or groups to prevent control conflicts when operating PTZ cameras. For example, ensure a GSOC operator can take control of a PTZ camera during an active incident without having to worry about on-site staff moving it away from their area of interest.

Customers can now immediately navigate from historical footage to live footage in the history player by simply clicking the "live" button on the bottom navigation bar. This can help streamline investigations and real-time monitoring by more quickly jumping between video streams.

Verkada customers can choose to store their data in the United States, the European Union, or Australia. For customers prioritizing regional storage of video and image data, Verkada now additionally supports the following locations for storage:

• Canada

• Germany (Frankfurt)

• Japan (Tokyo)

• Singapore

• South Korea (Seoul)

To help ensure consistent and reliable multi-camera playback, we are introducing new playback speed limits based on the number of concurrent feeds being viewed. The maximum available playback speed now depends on the number of cameras viewed at once:

New third-generation bullet cameras include four models, with both wide-angle and telephoto options available in 5MP and 4K. The latest generation, like previous ones, supports our most advanced analytics, including AI-powered unified timeline and license plate recognition. They also provide improved image quality, streamlined installation, and better performance in the field.

New optional IR and white light illuminator attachments optimize image capture in low-light or nighttime conditions.

We have revamped the video player experience in the Command mobile app. For both iOS and Android users, we are bringing the mobile experience closer to matching the desktop experience when it comes to playback, scrubbing, and evidence review. The video player also now supports intuitive gesture controls.

This feature will be available on May 26, 2026.

Organizations can now change the IP address for existing Command Connector channels, preserving all existing settings and historical footage in the event of a network migration or VLAN restructuring.

Users can now star specific sites on the Command mobile app, which will appear at the top of the list of all camera sites. This makes it easier for mobile app users to navigate to frequently viewed cameras. Users who have already starred sites within the browser version of Command will now be able to see their existing favorites within the mobile app.

Inactivity detection alerts help detect the absence of people or vehicles in a defined area for a set period of time. For example, you can be notified if a security guard appears to no longer be manning a door, or retail employees seem to have closed a store early. Inactivity detection alerts can be configured on certain camera regions, across multiple cameras, or even across an entire site. You can choose the duration of inactivity after which the alert triggers, and – just like our other alerts – you can set it on a schedule.
