San Mateo, CA, Feb. 15, 2023 — Verkada, leader in cloud-managed enterprise building security and management, today announced the newest addition to its product line, Verkada Intercom, which empowers front desk staff to make smarter entry decisions. With the new video intercom, customers can answer calls from anywhere with sharp video, clear audio, four smart receiver methods and intuitive management and security tools in Verkada Command.
Every button press and intercom call is recorded on-device for easy retrieval and historical review for up to 30 days, and comes with the full suite of Verkada features that Verkada customers already use, including people analytics, motion algorithms and cloud archiving.
Verkada’s Intercom solution allows organizations to enhance security and answer calls from anywhere with sharp video, clear audio, four smart receiver methods and intuitive management and security tools in Verkada’s cloud-based Command platform. In just 4 months since launching, Verkada Intercom devices already make more than 12,000 calls per day across business, hospitals, and schools.
Traditional intercom systems are inflexible, hard-wired point-to-point, and require receptionists to be present at their desk to answer intercom calls – but Verkada Intercom allows organizations to easily deploy any combination of video intercoms, receivers, and call routing configurations to take calls from anywhere. This empowers security teams and front desk staff with the flexibility, adaptability, and information needed to make informed entry decisions at organizations to keep staff and visitors safe.
In addition to video and audio capabilities, Verkada expanded Intercom’s capabilities, making it an even more complete door security solution by including door controller support and talk down capabilities. With three products in one, Intercom offers a comprehensive way to protect entrances with a single hardware device.
Verkada’s Intercom also functions as a security camera, recording all camera footage continuously for 30 days, regardless of if there’s an incoming call or not. Like all Verkada cameras, the Intercom comes equipped with powerful AI tools like motion search and people analytics at the edge, giving organizations powerful video and security capabilities from an unparalleled vantage point.
Native integrations with Verkada Cameras and Access Control allow organizations to better secure their entrances without additional complexity. Context cameras can be paired with any intercom and access controls are accessible on every receiver method, allowing receivers to view important video security insights and unlock doors in a single tap, from any device.
The Verkada Intercom easily scales with the requirements of any organization over time, providing the option to add more intercoms or receivers and offering continuous product improvements and new software functionality to ensure Verkada’s platform evolves with your organization’s needs over time.
Verkada’s Intercoms can be deployed effortlessly. Verkada's Power over Ethernet (PoE) intercom comes online and is fully operational in minutes, eliminating the need to configure SIP servers or NVRs/DVRs.
