What Is Automated Security? 

An automated security system responds to environmental cues. These cues help it to automatically manage security devices, such as surveillance cameras, access control, and alarms. These devices work together as a cohesive unit, changing based on the actions of the others. 

For instance, when a smart security camera spots a person loitering by the back door, the access control system immediately locks down the building, ensuring no intruders gain entry. When an unauthorized person attempts to enter, the security cameras zoom in on the area and send an alert to the security personnel or administrator. 

As you can imagine, this automation creates unprecedented security and a much faster response time to possible threats.

What Is a Verkada Automated Security System?

Verkada is the new, modern security system. Cloud-based, intuitive, and managed by an all-in-one, easy-to-use platform, its software-first approach lets users manage multiple locations and all devices with intelligent automation. 

This system comprises security cameras, access control, and alarms, all seamlessly working together. It’s scalable, meeting your security needs where you are now and into the future, and it integrates with legacy systems to ensure an optimized ROI. 

An example of how one of its components provides effortless management is the access control system. Instead of managing access by manually adding or deleting employees, it lets you automate large-scale changes through their Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). 

Does Verkada Integrate with Other Systems?

One of Verkada’s standout features is its APIs, which let you automate tasks and integrate third-party systems. Examples of what their API endpoints can do include the following: 

• Integrate alerts into third-party systems. Notifications and alarms are now part of a unified system. 
• Automatically add new persons of interest. 
• Overlay data from all security systems.

One of Verkada’s unique integrations includes CompScience, a safety analytics platform that enhances security and operations in high-liability work environments. Automated responses and alerts let you know if a person isn’t wearing a safety vest or if a slip and fall was due to a water leak. 

Can You Schedule Verkada’s Security System in Advance?

One of the challenges inherent in security systems is human error. How often has someone left the building and forgotten to turn on the alarm? The Verkada alarm system lets you automatically arm and disarm each location and alarm. For those businesses without set timetables, smart schedules arm the system after a period of camera inactivity.
