Verkada

““It’s a very scalable system,” says Aetesam. “As the business grows and we need visibility into more areas, we can simply add more cameras.””

““When we can show the video, everyone is looking at the same evidence,” says Aetesam. “It gets everyone aligned so we can focus on how to improve.””

““Another advantage of Verkada is the ability to share footage quickly and easily with third parties,” says Sean. “Previously the teams would be struggling with downloading content, there would be USB sticks being shared. Now with Verkada, it’s secure access.””

““Sometimes in an incident, the information gets lost. People forget or we have short memories,” says Aetesam. “But when it’s on a camera, it helps to go back and find those root causes and how we can improve further.””

““It helps us to address engineering and maintenance concerns,” says Sean. “If they have to troubleshoot some machinery, we can get a camera into place very quickly and easily so they can really look into the equipment and understand what’s going on.””

““The new setup that we have of HP laptops and Verkada systems has been a smooth transition,” says Aetesam Khawaja, Site Lead – Hearn Street Operation. “Very simple to use. You can use it on your mobile phone, you can use it on your laptops.””

““The main reason for Verkada was around consolidation of solutions,” says Sean. “Having that cloud-based offering allows us to quickly and easily deploy across sites.””

“"As we plan for future expansions, standardizing our security with Verkada is crucial. Our goal is to equip our new facilities with Verkada cameras, avoiding any reliance on outdated legacy systems."”

“"We assist local law enforcement by providing clear, accessible footage for their investigations. This has proven to be a vital asset for the police when investigating incidents in or around the facility. It not only aids in community safety but also strengthens our partnership with local authorities."”

“"Instead of searching through hours of footage, you can draw a box around an area and see exactly when something went missing. With AI-powered search, this becomes even easier.””

“"The days of complex, manual updates and downtime are gone. Accessing new features is as easy as logging in and clicking a button, a process that takes just minutes due to the system’s ease of use."”

“"Switching to Verkada's cloud solution drastically reduced our reliance on physical servers and their requirement for ongoing maintenance. Once we saw Verkada in action, the decision was clear. This upgrade simplified and transformed how we manage security across our facilities, with greater flexibility and reduced overhead costs."”

““He definitely makes sure we’re getting the most out of the system.””

““Lee always makes sure that our team is aware of new releases by delivering in-person trainings,””

““There was a lot of admin involved in our legacy CCTV system,””

“As Verkada releases new features, we continue to find new ways to use the technology and bring more value to our school.”

“Verkada allows us to strike the right balance between safety and privacy, ensuring each one without compromising the other.”

“I don’t need to worry about retaining videos for an extended period of time. I can archive them in Command and have unlimited storage space. Plus I can label the clips to easily find them later in a 1-click search from the custom tags I’ve added to clips.”

“You don’t need to be technical to use Command, it’s easy to find what you need.”

“Proactive alerts are sent straight to my phone and inbox. In one click I can quickly review the corresponding footage.”

“If vaping were to occur, we would be able to detect and respond immediately to guide students into making better decisions about their health.”

“We can maintain safer and healthier environments because Verkada allows us to view and respond to events across campus in seconds.”

“We have new capabilities that we didn't know we needed until we had them. For peace of mind, we receive real-time alerts if there's a person of interest or other key safety events on campus - we love having the tools to maintain a safe and healthy environment under a single dashboard.”

“The greatest advantage we’ve gained with Verkada has been the ability to see events from anywhere at any time. I don’t have to connect devices back to the school infrastructure or make sure my server is online. I can give people access to footage and environmental data in a really controlled way, so they view only what they need, for as little or much time as required for their role.”

“As soon as we deployed Verkada, it was very obvious that we needed it. Our camera infrastructure will only continue to grow, and we’ll have more use cases for it as new functionalities are added.”
