How Organizations Use Verkada Commercial Video Surveillance

When safeguarding your businesses, it’s helpful to understand the importance of commercial video surveillance. High-resolution cameras deliver crystal-clear pictures, and real-time alerts ensure quick reaction times. These elements reduce internal and external theft, helping keep employees, assets, and customers safe.

But is all commercial video surveillance created equal? Are different types of businesses better served with different security cameras and manufacturers? 

At ASAP Security Services, we’ve been addressing these types of questions for decades. As technology has changed, so have our answers. Today, there’s clearly one security company that’s outpacing the rest. It’s called Verkada.

Used in Nearly Every Industry

When a video surveillance system is so good that it transcends the normal limitations of focusing its security solutions on one or two types of industries, you know it performs well. 

Verkada is found in the following industries: 

• Education
• Healthcare
• Government
• Retail
• Corporate
• Manufacturing

Healthcare

Hospitals use Verkada to protect staff and patients and keep unauthorized people out of secure areas. El Centro Regional Medical Center in Imperial County saw an over 80% reduction in workplace violence. It also avoided thousands to millions of dollars in fines by using the security system to prove regulatory compliance. 

Verkada somehow managed to transform this hospital’s security. They did it by installing hybrid cloud cameras, creating a VX52 Viewing Station, and utilizing mobile command apps and panic buttons. Located 10 miles from the Mexican border, the hospital now operates under much safer conditions. 

Retail

Retailers use Verkada to ensure a safe experience for their customers and prevent theft. The Reading Terminal Market, a famous indoor farmer’s market in Philadelphia, serves over 5 million visitors annually. High foot traffic and large crowds posed several threats, from theft to slip-and-falls. While they had security cameras, these legacy systems were old, produced grainy images, and slowed investigations.

They installed 130 Verkada video surveillance cameras that provide crystal-clear images, Person of Interest alerts, occupancy trends, and heatmaps. These proactive measures stop security incidents before they occur.  

An example of the system's capabilities occurred when a woman was assaulted on a bus located near the market. Thanks to Verkada’s video surveillance, security personnel traced the assailant back to the market, obtained a clear image, and sent it to law enforcement. Because of this, the market was granted a direct line to the police, ensuring rapid response times. 

The Power of the Cloud

These are just two examples of the hundreds of ways in which Verkada security cameras have improved business safety. Schools use Verkada to keep students and staff safe by monitoring entrances. Factories and warehouses use it to oversee operations and ensure employees follow occupational safety measures. 

These systems can be accessed from anywhere and are built to scale, from one location to thousands, all viewed on a centralized platform. Are you ready to take your security to the next level?
