“I was impressed with new capabilities that were delivered over-the-air since my initial purchase. It’s a constant stream of innovation; I’m always interested to see what new capabilities come with each update.”
“Each home has its own security system operating in a silo. To view footage, you had to be onsite.”
“Verkada recently released some new features which allow you to control door access. I don’t know yet whether that’s something we would use everywhere or just deploy in certain buildings but knowing we can directly link our cameras to a door access system is a real positive feature.”
“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.”
“I requested a trial and in a matter of days, was reviewing footage that recorded new insights of activity happening across the floor. It was immediately clear that (Verkada) is so much more than a security tool.”
“Little thought was given to how the system would be maintained, how it would be monitored, and then how we would react to it."
“The business had expanded quite a bit over the years and we needed to increase CCTV coverage across newer sites. We originally wanted to build on top of our current system, but after getting a vendor quote, we felt that the old setup wasn’t worth the amount we’d be paying.”
“Because I can curate and control who has access to which feeds, it’s easy for me to ensure that data is guarded with utmost security. (Verkada) provides the necessary protections that allow us to be fully GDPR compliant.”
“User management was a hassle because each NVR had its own user database, so nothing was centralized. Plus when a hard drive went down, we would lose large batches of recorded footage.”
“We’d spend hours trying to fulfill a simple retrieval request. We had to tinker with firewall settings to get into the platform, then we’d have to download large batches of footage, manually scrub through video to find the incident, then convert the clip to a readable format. There wasn’t an easy way to get footage into the right hands."
“Verkada gave us immediate ROI and resulted in a 30% cost reduction compared to other solutions on the market. We were able to eliminate our existing servers and NVR devices while gaining higher levels of storage retention without impacting our WAN bandwidth.”
“Being able to understand foot traffic has been one of the biggest benefits. Now we can review traffic patterns across all stores to understand high-performing products, store layouts and human behaviour.”
“Never has finding and retrieving footage from any of our stores been so easy. We reduced investigation times down from days to minutes, and we can share footage directly with stakeholders without having to download and distribute raw video files. Plus the ability to find people based on their appearance or face has been a game-changer; we can quickly identify suspects, repeat offenders, VIPs, and staff.”
“Our legacy CCTV solution included a patchwork of cameras that were installed at different points in Mayfield’s 90 years of operation. The variation in camera quality and functionality made it difficult for us to use video footage as an effective means to resolve campus incidents.”
“Our previous security consultants set up our systems to be the most cost-effective option (through seasonal discounts or offers); but besides cost savings, there was no strategy behind what equipment we invested in.”
