Verkada Adds AI, Software, Hardware Functionality To Its Cloud Solutions.
Verkada Adds AI, Software, Hardware Functionality – Cloud solutions provider, Verkada, announced significant upgrade to its AI, software management and hardware functionality at a customer conference recently.
Verkada introduced AI-powered ‘Alerts’ to enable its customers to create and receive alerts based on natural language queries. For example, an organization can create an alert to be received any time someone is seen on camera not wearing a safety vest, or for virtually any natural language description of a person or vehicle.
Verkada also added a new ‘Occupancy Trends’ dashboard makes it much easier for its customers to visualize and understand the occupancy of a space over the course of a day, week, or month. According to Verkada, this will enable all kinds of organizations – from retailers or manufacturers to schools – to leverage data to inform decisions on staffing, inventory or vehicle traffic management, or even energy use.
At the event Apple showcased its Verkada Access Control integration, which enables Verkada Pass users to quickly unlock doors using their iPhone or Apple Watch. Verkada has also expanded its mobile credentials to include Android NFC.
Verkada has also overhauled the admin experience in Verkada Guest, enabling users to deliver even more secure and convenient check-ins. Now, admins can create highly customized sign-in flows using conditional logic or colour-code custom badge designs based on sign-in flow responses. Frequent return visitors can also now use facial recognition to check in, skipping the full sign-in flow in order to expedite entry.
In addition to unveiling upgrades to Verkada’s Command platform, Verkada introduced next-generation hardware across its camera, intercom, and access control product lines to support even more use cases.
There were also enhancements on the CCTV side. Verkada’s new fisheye (CF83-E) and 4K PTZ cameras (CP63-E) feature larger image sensors and advanced optical lenses allowing them to provide higher quality data to Verkada’s latest analytics via the Ambarella CV7x line of processors. Meanwhile, Verkada’s brand-new mini split camera (CM42-S), designed for locations where space is tight, or discretion is required (i.e. an ATM or discreet location within a retail store), enables customers to monitor an expanded set of locations.
Intercoms have also been improved with 3 new intercom models – a compact form-factor (TD33), thinner form-factor (TD53), and form-factor with a built-in keypad (TD63) – offering enhanced audio and video quality, as well as a built-in state-of-the-art door reader.
A next-generation door reader (AD34) features improvements in credential scan performance, LED feedback, and BLE hands-free unlock powered by time-of-flight technology. Verkada also announced its first door reader with a keypad – the AD64 – with all of the capabilities of the AD34, the AD64 enables organizations to grant access with a simple PIN code or to enforce multi-factor authentication.
