Verkada introduces upgraded Alarms solution, next-gen Dome cameras, and expanded AI search

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Verkada, has reimagined its Alarms solution to provide more informed alarm responses, minimizes false alarms, and gives administrators more visibility and control across their sites.

In addition to a new suite of hardware, Verkada said that its updated Alarms solution comes with a new software that will allow large and distributed organizations to easily set arming and disarming schedules; more simply manage key codes and enable disarming with credentials like cards, fobs, phones, or Apple Watches; and trigger alarms with Verkada cameras, which can screen out many false alarms with AI-based person detection.

"Since we launched our first Alarms product three years ago, we've learned about many of the headaches that exist with traditional alarm systems," said Brandon Davito, senior vice president of product and operations at Verkada. "Our reimagined Alarm solution hits these pain points directly with intelligent software features that make the product easier to use than ever, as well as a new hardware architecture that makes it easy for organizations to repurpose existing sensors and wiring and, importantly, makes it cost-effective to get the benefits of Verkada's platform."

Verkada also announced a range of additional product and platform updates, including its next generation indoor and outdoor 4K Dome cameras, reverse image analysis to search through video security footage, Features to streamline and customize access control workflows, and enhanced functionality across the Verkada platform.

Verkada customers can access new software features and functionalities on Nov. 14. Hardware availability varies by device.
