Seamless Integration with the Verkada Command Connector

We’ve said it before: the future is in cloud-based security. However, while many Milwaukee businesses are interested in switching to a cloud-based platform like Verkada, they hesitate. They stall. It’s simply too expensive and time-consuming to replace their entire camera system. 

Instead, they choose to save money and continue using, even expanding, their legacy cameras and systems – missing out on Verkada’s superior user interface (UI), remote monitoring, advanced video analytics, and other benefits. 

What if switching to the cloud could be hassle-free? Verkada’s new Command Connector lets you add your existing cameras to the Verkada cloud-based platform, regardless of brand. 

Here’s how we can easily add your cameras to the cloud-based Verkada system, taking your legacy cameras online for easier and more intuitive control.

Adding Your Existing Cameras to Verkada 

Verkada now offers an easy path to the cloud with the Command Connector. It seamlessly pairs legacy cameras, Alarms and access control points with Verkada’s system.

The Command Connector brings all your cameras into one platform, Verkada or non-Verkada. You’ll monitor which cameras are active, tap into advanced analytics, and use AI-powered search. You’ll be alerted if any of your cameras detect unusual behavior or a person of interest and can monitor live footage via smartphone, tablet, or computer. 

Benefits of Verkada’s Cloud Security Platform

Once your legacy, third-party cameras are integrated with the Verkada system, you’ll get access to new features like:

  • Automated discovery of new cameras 
  • Verkada’s intuitive, user-friendly interface 
  • Adaptive storage 
  • Motion, facial, and vehicle detection 
  • Unlimited cloud archiving 
  • Live footage 
  • Cloud-based sharing 
  • Viewing station compatibility 
  • Local storage management 
  • People history and attribute search
  • Vehicle history and attribute search 
  • Face search
  • Crowd detection 
  • Camera online/offline statuses 

However, certain features are only available with Verkada cameras, such as: 

  • Automated updates 
  • Guaranteed video retention regardless of network performance 
  • Distributed storage to avoid single point of failure
  • Virtual line-crossing detection 
  • Loitering detection 
  • License plate recognition
  • People and vehicle trajectory mapping 
  • Tamper detection 

The Verkada Command Connector greatly simplifies any organizations’ move to cloud security. This allows IT and facilities managers to choose between Verkada and third party cameras at their own discretion. Opting for features like automatic updates and trajectory mapping where they matter most, and upgrading their legacy system at their leisure.
