"Before Verkada, our security systems were fragmented, making compliance and oversight a challenge."
“We plan to open two new stores a year, and Verkada will be at all of them. Verkada makes technology management simple and seamless – we’re excited to see what’s next.”
“Easy to install and expand. Verkada is perfect for managing our multiple locations.”
“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.”
“What I learned about it was what it wasn’t doing for us. We needed more information, and more reliable information.”
“I had a small IT department that managed the whole city, each building with its own surveillance system. We were getting a lot of retrieval requests and it got too time-consuming to maintain, retrieve, and archive the video.”
“Not only were the old CCTV systems hard to use, but the maintenance was also incredibly expensive. I had six DVRs that needed to be replaced and each ranged from 6-8K. It was a massive payout for that hardware.”
“The other security solutions were just a newer version of the archaic system we already had in place. We knew in a few years’ time they were going to be causing problems for us.”
“Our behavior analysts review footage with clients and staff for coaching purposes, but our old system had poor video quality and no audio support. Plus, it was nearly impossible to find videos when we needed them.”
“Our previous solution had limited storage space, it was a chore to constantly delete footage in order to meet GDPR requirements. The software interface was horrible, and not at all intuitive. Scaling our coverage with the DVR system would’ve been impossible.”
“Our legacy system software was dated and ran slowly, just logging in would take 20 minutes before we could actually get to a visual. I’d sit through hours of footage, then have to whittle it down to two minutes, or else the thumb drive couldn’t be opened. It was a huge drain on time.”
“In the UK—pre-COVID—there were 50,000 empty shops. We think that number will be over 150,000 when this pandemic is over. Our goal is to build the world’s most adaptive retail space, so anyone can have a place to do their thing whenever they want.”
“Pushing everything to the cloud allowed us to shut down all the legacy servers in our facilities. The last items on the list were DVRs and security cameras.”
“In November of 2018, we had a lockdown occur on campus. It was clear to us that more had to be done to beef up our emergency notification system., There had to be an easier way to put the school under lockdown without requiring police to go around campus and physically secure buildings.”
“We’re expanding to new facilities, which posed the question ‘what do we want to do holistically from a security standpoint?’ We had the choice to keep adding disparate systems to each site, or have a single solution to unify security across all our locations.”
