Discover a Cloud-Based, Software-First Commercial Security System

As Austin, TX, builds its presence as a growing tech hub, increasing security issues follow—both cyberattacks and physical security risks. In response, businesses seek advanced security measures to protect assets, staff, and customers. 

One of the prominent solutions is a commercial security system by the modern security provider known as Verkada. 

Here, we’ll explore what this company offers and how its security system gained global status in less than 10 years.

One Physical Security Platform

One of the common challenges businesses face with security systems is complexity. Alarms, cameras, intrusion detection, and access control don’t always work together seamlessly. In some instances, physical intervention is required to get one part of a system to communicate with another. The result is less than desirable.

The other issue is human error. From not setting the alarm before leaving to forgetting to collect the key from a recently terminated employee, these errors can significantly impact the company. 

Verkada’s cloud-based software-first approach changes that. It integrates every solution into one manageable platform, and it sends you reminders when a task is left undone or suspicious behavior is detected. 

Remote Capabilities

The Verkada security system runs on one platform and is accessible from anywhere. One tap removes a previous employee’s user credentials. When someone forgets to set the alarm, an administrator can quickly arm it via web or mobile apps, regardless of where they are. 

You can manage and access the entire system remotely from anywhere. 

An Interactive Approach

Intrusion detection consists of sensors at entry points, from doors to windows, gates, and sensitive areas. When someone triggers a sensor, the security cameras zoom in, capturing an image of the potential intruder and sending it to the appropriate personnel. 

Built to scale, many businesses start with one feature, like access control, and then add on as their business warrants. With unlimited user capability and site and role-based access, you gain a security system that’s easy to implement and add to. 

As your business grows, so do its capabilities, allowing you to access multiple sites from the same platform. For instance, you can view 12 live camera feeds from one site or numerous locations. 

Increasing Intelligence

As a modern approach to securing businesses, Verkada takes advantage of the latest technology. AI-powered analytics create actionable investigations with cameras that learn as they observe. 

Users can replay videos, following a person’s trajectory through the property, with security cameras that follow. When security events occur, the appropriate personnel receive an immediate alert via email, text, or push notification, enabling a proactive approach.

Integrated with license plate watch lists, the system sends an alert whenever a vehicle with a flagged license plate drives onto your property. 

Keeping Data Safe

With cybersecurity increasing almost daily, the last thing you want is a vulnerable security system. Verkada uses the most advanced and recommended security protocols, including two-factor authentication, automatic software patches, and encryption at rest and in transit. 

As one unified system, Verkada provides a total security system on one cloud-managed platform that’s accessible on any device from anywhere. It doesn’t get much simpler or more complete than that.
