Verkada’s AI-Powered Search1
Use Natural Language to Conduct Investigations Directly Relevant to Your Organization

Verkada’s latest AI-powered search in Command gives users the ability to search for a near-limitless number of attributes of people and vehicles across their organization. With AI-powered search, users can leverage their own words in a freeform search bar to describe a person or vehicle of interest and conduct highly-granular investigations as a result.

Tap into AI to unlock nearly unlimited search criteria
A high-performance text-to-image open source AI model and our own in-house enhancements turn the Command search bar into a blank canvas for freeform text queries–allowing users to conduct investigations into specific, granular attributes of people and vehicles.

Structure detailed queries beyond the norm

• Search for specific attributes like articles of clothing, apparel, brands, and more, to drill-down into more granular attributes of people that can make investigations more accurate and streamlined.
• Identify vehicles of interest with detailed criteria like tinted windows, spoilers, bumper stickers, text (like “UPS truck” or “San Mateo School Bus”) and more, to quickly detect vehicles pertinent to one’s investigation.

Conduct investigations that address different industry- specific use cases by time and location2

• Better investigate slip-and-fall cases, shoplifting, break-ins, occupational hazards, workplace safety compliance and more, using freeform queries.
• Organize searches by time and location for added specificity and more relevant insights of people and vehicles.

Take actionable steps once the subject or vehicle of concern is identified

• After identifying a specific person or vehicle, archive the relevant footage and create an incident report.
• Sift through results of people, download their image to add them as a POI or search their face across all of your organization’s cameras for exhaustive analysis of people under investigation.

Verkada’s People and Vehicle Analytics

Simplify Investigations with Intelligent People, Face and Vehicle Detection

People and Vehicle analytics combine intelligent edge-based video processing with computer vision to give users high-quality, cloud-based images of all individuals and vehicles identified in the scene. Using these analytics, customers can filter for specific attributes of people or vehicles (like clothing color or vehicle type) on a camera-by-camera basis.

Bring Intelligence to Investigations

Face search

• Quickly search for matching people by selecting an existing face from your organization or by uploading an image

Person and Vehicle history

• Browse through high-resolution snapshots of people and vehicles detected
• Save snapshots or easily access associated full–res video
• Search for matched people and vehicles across your entire organization with cross–camera search

Attribute filters

• Drill-down into specific cameras to filter for people and vehicles based on a range of attributes, including clothing or vehicle color, gender appearance, vehicle body type and facial matches

Person and License Plate of Interest notifications

• Create a Person of Interest using an uploaded photo or existing face in Command
• Capture a license plate of interest with our CB52-TE or CB62-TE

Bullet cameras

• Set up proactive SMS/email alerts for when a matching face is detected by a camera

1. All our cameras record in “adaptive quality,” capturing both standard (SQ) and high quality (HQ) streams. SQ video is stored up to the amount of retention specified by the customer. The amount of HQ video stored on the camera will depend on the amount of motion detected by the camera over time. To learn more, visit our website: https://docs.verkada.com/docs/adaptive-quality-recording-whitepaper.pdf
2. Lens Distortion Correction (LDC) crops the sensor field of view to deliver a rectified, undistorted output image.
3. Frame rate can be adjusted by support.
4. Extended temperature range includes operating temperatures below -8.5°C / 16.7°F and assumes IR will be enabled

Professional video monitoring
Stop Crimes in Progress
Verkada’s professional video monitoring solution enables organizations to detect and  respond to threats as they  happen, using only their cameras.

Turn your cameras into a monitored alarm system
Professional video monitoring allows organizations to turn their Verkada cameras into a complete, monitored alarm solution – no extra hardware required. Simply select which cameras should be monitored, set an arm/disarm schedule and choose how monitoring agents should respond to a threat, such as remote talk down or notifying police.

How it works

• Detect unusual activity
• Choose which cameras should be monitored and when. An alarm is triggered if a person is detected while the system is armed.
• Other Verkada devices, including intrusion sensors, access control and environmental sensors, can also be configured as alarm triggers.

Assess the threat

• Monitoring agents immediately review camera footage to determine if a person is actually present.*
• Video-verification helps to ensure priority police response and screens out false alarms.

Take action

• If there is a person present, the monitoring agent will immediately notify your call list.
• Agents can also request emergency dispatch or talk down to intruders through an on-site speaker.
• If there is not a person present, the agent will dismiss the incident.

Key benefits

1. Protect your perimeter with cameras that can detect intruders the minute they set foot on your property.
2. Use cameras as intrusion sensors and get all the benefits of a monitored alarm system without any extra hardware.
3. Cameras detect intruders and agents can take action, reducing the need for live guards patrolling or watching cameras.
4. Video-verified alarms help the police know that they should respond quickly and helps you avoid false alarm fines.
5. In addition to notifying law enforcement, our agents can talk down to intruders through a powerful speaker to scare them off.

*Professional monitoring with video verification is included in the LIC-BA Standard Alarm License or the LIC-BV Premium Alarm License. One License is required per location, and includes up to 50 monitored cameras. Monitoring is provided by fully redundant, US-based, UL-listed central monitoring stations with Five Diamond Certification from The Monitoring Association. Certified monitoring centers are also available in Canada, the UK and Australia.
