 A financial institution isn’t a typical commercial space. From preventing ATM skimming to tracking access to the server room, your video surveillance system must handle unique scenarios not found in an average office or store. 

That’s where Verkada’s cloud-based video surveillance and access control offer real value, especially for Houston banks and credit unions. If your bank is still using outdated hardware with local storage, consider a safer upgrade with the following Verkada solutions. 

Tough Enough for High-Risk Environments

Verkada cameras are built to withstand tampering, vandalism, and harsh conditions. Their enclosures use Torx screws and are IK10-rated, meaning they’re among the most impact-resistant options available. And if anyone tries to interfere with them? The system sends an automatic alert to administrators.

8 Reasons You Can Trust ASAP for Access Control

Imagine you run a mid-sized logistics company in Houston and recently experienced a security breach when an unauthorized individual tailgated an employee through a loading dock entrance. 

Without real-time video integration or access alerts, the incident would go unnoticed until the inventory was reported missing days later. The lack of centralized access control and limited visibility into entry events would expose critical vulnerabilities and cost your company money and morale.

This scenario highlights the urgent need for an improved, fully integrated access control solution that can do more than traditional solutions. Especially in a city as fast-paced and expansive as Houston, you need more than a keycard system and a front-desk check-in. 

You need a responsive solution that’s intuitive and scalable. That’s why the team at ASAP Security Systems trusts Verkada. Verkada offers a modern, cloud-based approach to managing entry points across one location or dozens from a single dashboard. 

Let’s break down why more businesses, institutions, and campuses across the state are turning to Verkada and ASAP Security Services for stronger, more effective access control solutions.
