San Mateo, CA, Feb. 15, 2023 — Verkada, leader in cloud-managed enterprise building security and management, today announced a range of updates that expand the reach of the Verkada platform.
"Each of our products is intuitive and powerful in its own right – but connected together on the Command platform, they provide best-in-class capabilities to protect people and places," said Brandon Davito, VP of Product. "All of the new products and features we're introducing today – from Verkada Intercom and our new talkdown speaker to our enhanced Command interface – work together to empower our customers to not only keep their organizations safer, but also to transform the way they operate."
Verkada updated its user interface to make it even easier to manage all users, devices and alerts across the Command platform. This new look and feel will better accommodate its growing portfolio of integrated security products, and ensure our platform continues to be intuitive and easy for customers to navigate. Further, new language options – French, Spanish and Japanese – were added to meet the needs of its growing global customer base.
Additionally, several new features have been introduced to give customers more visibility and control:
- Live Viewers: For more visibility into how Verkada is being used across organizations, Live Viewers displays each person currently viewing a camera in the top right hand corner of the Camera page. The clickable Live Viewer icons will show additional context like the viewer's name, email and IP address, and length of the stream session.
- Customizable privacy & security disclosures: Customizable QR codes and associated webpages have been created so visitors can easily understand what physical security technologies are being deployed at an organization – and how they are being used. Once the disclosure is generated, it can be shared in the form of a link embedded in an email or printed as a QR code and posted on the premises. This allows individuals entering a Verkada building to scan the QR code and quickly learn, for example, if video is being captured by cameras on the premises.
