Introducing the BK11 Alarm Keypad and the BK21 Alarm Keypad + Wireless Hub.

Both models allow employees or other authorized users to arm and disarm the alarm system using a unique keycode. The keypads also show the status of every alarm device in the building, making it easy to check if an active device is preventing the system from being armed.

The BK11 and BK21 also both support live camera viewing, which lets users see what’s going on around the property directly from the keypad screen. In case of emergency, staff can enter a duress code or press the keypad’s panic button to call for immediate help.

Organizations using Verkada’s wireless intrusion sensors can connect them directly via the BK21’s built-in wireless hub. Sensors will automatically show up in Command as available alarm triggers.

Both keypads will be able to seamlessly connect to a Verkada BP41 Alarm Panel via a standard four-wire connection (RS485) used by legacy keypads, helping organizations save significant time and money when switching from a legacy system to Verkada.

The BK11 Alarm Keypad will be available for $399, and the BK21 Alarm Keypad + Wireless Hub for $799. One Verkada Alarms License per location is required to use the Alarm Keypad. Both models will be available to ship to the US and Canada beginning August 24, with additional countries available later this year.
