Verkada AI-powered search

May 10, 2024
Enables customers to use everyday language to search their video security camera footage for people and vehicles.

Verkada’s AI-Powered Search feature helps organizations search through video security footage faster than ever. Using state-of-the-art large language and vision models, users can search through camera footage using everyday language. For example, in Command, Verkada’s cloud-based physical security platform, users can input searches like "person holding a mop" or "white Tesla model Y with tinted windows" directly into the Command search bar to conduct highly detailed investigations.

Organizations across industries can use AI-Powered Search to significantly enhance investigation efficiency. In retail settings, for example, if a suspected shoplifter was wearing a mask or carrying a specific bag, users can simply input these details into the search bar to quickly find the relevant footage. In manufacturing, users can more effectively monitor their premises to enforce safety measures and reduce workplace injuries. Manufacturing customers can query terms like “person wearing helmet” or “person wearing safety vest” near a specific machine or corridor to ensure proper precautions are being taken in the required areas.

Verkada designed AI-Powered Search with important guardrails in place to ensure the responsible and safe use of this feature, like query moderation and audit logs. Based on publicly available best practices for moderation, Verkada prohibits the use of terms that relate to a person’s race, ethnicity, or nationality, subjective descriptions, and more. Organization administrators can also review queries from their organization in audit logs, which can be used to help ensure that users have not attempted inappropriate queries.
