“Our manufacturing warehouse and office space is easily over 100,000 square feet. It’s a large area to cover, but Verkada’s solution is straightforward and incredibly easy to get up and running.”
"Not only is Verkada simple to deploy and use, its a solution that we can trust to work reliably. This level of confidence in the system is a game changer for us."
"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.”
“Our biggest problem was that our video surveillance and access control systems were dissociated from each other. Due to that, we had a hard time verifying people who came onsite and badged into our secured lab areas.”
“My career path includes zero security camera experience – this is something normally handled by Facilities or Security teams, but it falls under me at Nizhoni. We previously had 240p resolution cameras with 3-day NVR storage retention sitting in refrigerated IDF closets across eight locations. It would take two and a half hours to drive from the east to west tip of the state, then up to another six hours to playback footage with no search capabilities whatsoever.”
“Our previous system required manual updates every week, and we’d have to watch through hours of recordings just to pull footage from one machine. We needed a way to detect and prevent smoking in the private lockable bathrooms of our new building, while protecting student privacy.”
“The mobile app has the same capabilities as the web portal, there are so many features that help save time. I can search for vehicles and people, share live camera feeds with first responders, and send archived footage from any device.”
“We had archaic DVR system in two of the schools that was unreliable and hard to access. The software was erratic and unreliable, it often failed to record the incidents we needed to review.”
“There was no standardisation across our estate, which was a real challenge. Whenever a site called in to report an issue, we had to physically travel to that location and spend hours hunting down the access credentials, familiarising ourselves with the system, and learning how to retrieve footage from it. Then the cycle would repeat again the following week, when another site would call in with an entirely different system.”
“Working with analog and CCTV cameras is frustrating because they are limited in what they can do and have extensive wiring requirements, anywhere from 300 to 400 feet. Sometimes the hardware fails, the video disappears, and we’re left with a blank slate.”
“We had physical keys and a proximity card system that was end-of-life and starting to become corrupt. From time to time, the system would crash and we would have no support. This would result in prox cards working for some employees but not others, and sometimes a card would stop working one day but be fine the next.”
“Legacy systems often have multiple types of hardware that are older or non-standard, which makes them difficult to support. Worst case scenario is that an incident happens and you find the camera or NVR wasn’t recording the whole time.”
“We have large warehouses we need to secure, but the previous security cameras barely passed our self-assessment for TAPA certification.”
“We wanted to improve building security while being mindful of cost. Our goal was to be able to capture all the entrances and exits, improve multi-site visibility, and gain a better understanding of occupancy patterns.”
“It was time-consuming to retrieve incident footage, especially when we didn’t have much information to go on. We were having to watch through low-quality videos, barely able to make out people and faces. It was inefficient and, with a small staff, pretty much impossible to get anything accomplished in a short period of time.”
