Verkada, a physical security platform with its core in the cloud, announced its new connectivity solution, the GC31 Cellular Gateway.
The GC31 Cellular Gateway will enable device deployment in hard-to-wire or remote locations, a new set of government-grade solutions, including Command for video security and visitor management hosted on AWS GovCloud, an updated mobile app for iOS and Android, and a range of feature updates that expand and improve upon Verkada’s Command platform.
“As we protect more people and places than ever before, we’re continuing to improve and expand the capabilities of Verkada’s powerful platform for physical security,” said Brandon Davito, SVP of Product and Operations. “Our newest products and features, including our new GC31 Cellular Gateway and government offering, demonstrate our commitment to providing our customers a best-in-class cloud-managed security platform.”
Organisations across every industry have long struggled to connect in remote areas, parking lots, and construction sites. Verkada’s GC31 Cellular Gateway allows customers to deploy two Verkada devices in previously hard-to-wire areas as long as power and cellular signals are available. A native integration with the Verkada platform allows faster setup and remote troubleshooting.
The Verkada Command service is now available in AWS GovCloud. It will initially support two product lines: Video Security and Guest, Verkada’s visitor management solution. Also included are four new FIPS-validated cameras. Additional FIPS-validated cameras and government certifications are on the product roadmap.
Enhanced Command experience tailored to enterprise scale
Verkada’s new mobile app provides a more consistent experience for customers across web and mobile versions of Command. Within Command, Verkada will also roll out two new alert types, loitering and line crossing, and upgrades to real-time POI detection to enable users to detect and respond to incidents even faster. In addition, a new feature, Shortcuts, allows users to more easily follow a subject from one camera to the next in real-time. Finally, Verkada launched a range of Access Control and Intercom features purpose-built to power organisations operating across hundreds of locations and managing thousands of doors.
Verkada has six product lines – video security cameras, access control, environmental sensors, alarms, workplace and intercoms – that provide building security through an integrated, secure cloud-based software platform.
