"Our old video system was antiquated and (felt like it was) from 1983. Something that should take minutes to pull footage would take hours."
"The speed in which we can take action is critical to facilitating school safety. We’re confident in Verkada’s system and our staff’s ability to use it, which gives us the peace of mind to act quickly in the event of an emergency."
“If we’re looking at the components of a school violence incident, a large part of it is the prevention phase. There were key areas we wanted to focus on – including student wellness, communication strategies and campus safety.”
“A more informed officer makes better decisions. We provide as much real-time intelligence as possible to detect, deter, and solve crime.”
“Times are changing. Access control is no longer just a matter of handing out cards and being able to lock down in an emergency. We need a more technologically advanced system that can continuously evolve to support changing protocols.”
“We cover our entire perimeter, including points of entry into the campus, as well as specific internal spaces like courtyards and rooftops. We’re strategic in our camera placement to protect people and property in a privacy-sensitive manner – including the use of granular viewing and access permission functionality that the Verkada platform provides.”
"Once clients see our facilities, they are assured. We don't cut corners on cargo security.”
"In the early hours of Sunday, June 23rd, our team was alerted by Verkada's security system at 2:55 AM. Verkada identified two individuals with backpacks walking across our lease, signaling a potential threat. Immediately, Verkada's monitoring service took action by dispatching the Royal Canadian Mountain Police (RCMP) and two of our Operators to the site.”
"Verified the situation and disarmed the alarm from her mobile phone – while out of state. "With the high-quality video footage, I can access the situation in a timely manner. Recently, over a weekend I received an access control alert about an intrusion. I was able to view the cameras and the People Analytics provided employee identification."
“By having the right technology in place, we can provide a secure campus with the best experience possible for our students.”
“Ensuring the well-being and safety of the faculty members and students is our number one priority, It’s a challenge, but we’ve got a great team.”
“With Verkada, it is easy to roll out and also expand the system. We have experienced substantial growth since moving to our new location in 2019. Our campus footprint has expanded to several locations in the local area and the ability to flexibly add cameras to the system is great.”
"I was asked to look at the CCTV systems, a task that initially began under our head of facilities. With a background in IT, I was brought in to evaluate and implement new security systems with a focus on security concerns, particularly those related to certain camera manufacturers.”
"Before Verkada, we had no security cameras in the city that we could directly access and control from afar," explained Deputy Chief Reid
"Gridless has enabled us to place cameras in strategic locations without traditional power access, significantly widening our video security coverage."
