Cloud-managed campus security your team can actually use
Keeping students safe is the most important responsibility a school carries. Verkada cameras combine high-resolution video, on-device AI, and a remarkably simple cloud interface, so administrators, security staff, and school leadership can see what's happening on campus from any phone or tablet, in seconds.
AI that actually helps administrators respond
Verkada cameras run people, vehicle, fight, and loitering detection directly on the device. Receive an instant push or SMS alert when a fight breaks out near a locker bay or a vehicle lingers in a parking lot after hours. Search hours of footage in seconds by attributes like "red backpack, hallway, last Tuesday afternoon" instead of scrubbing tape.
- On-device AI: people, vehicle, face, fighting, and loitering detection
- Instant search by clothing color, vehicle type, and time window
- Real-time SMS, email, and mobile app alerts on configured events
- License plate recognition for parking lots and pickup loops
Designed for schools, not enterprises
Every Verkada camera includes onboard solid-state storage, so recordings continue even if the campus internet drops. There are no NVRs to maintain, no obscure DVR software to learn, and no firmware updates to chase, because Verkada manages it all from the cloud. Role-based access lets you give counselors view-only access to specific cameras, give administrators full search, and limit IT to system health.
- On-device SSD storage with continuous recording during outages
- Zero on-prem servers, NVRs, or DVR software to maintain
- Granular role-based permissions and full audit logs
- 10-year hardware warranty with automatic cloud updates
Built around the realities of private & independent K-12 schools
