230 Verkada Testimonials

“We decided to move to a cloud-based system, We recognised that moving to the cloud would enable us to centralise the security across all of our sites. As well as wanting to monitor the sites effectively, we had an objective to better respond to customer complaints. That meant easily collecting evidence and verifying incidents that we could send to customers to resolve conflicts.”

“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.”

“We received about 20 false alarms a month; each police call cost us a minimum of $500 and scaled exponentially. The monitoring company would also charge an $85/hour service fee for any little change, whether it was onboarding and offboarding employees, or changing the code to arm and disarm alarms.”

“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.”

“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.”

“These cameras are really clear and crisp, and you can see people and have a lot more features in terms of searchability and accessibility. For example, you could say, ‘I want to know in the past 24 hours, I think there’s someone suspicious outside the building, and I heard he had on a red shirt.’ So I could search, ‘male, red shirt, past 24 hours,’ and it would pull up all images from all cameras that match that.”

“Since we've been using Verkada, it has been easy to use, easy to implement, and very flexible. Support has been great, service has been great. Everybody I talk to who mentions anything about cameras, I have to pull my phone out and pull up the cameras in the building and show them what it looks like. They say, 'I can't access my cameras that quick!' and I tell them, 'That's why you should use Verkada.'”
