Verkada, a cloud-based physical security solutions company, has announced a new way for organisations to transition to the cloud with its Command Connector, which allows third-party cameras to connect to Verkada’s Command platform. It also announced a range of new additions to its platform, including badge integration with Apple Wallet and a next-generation door reader.
“As we continue to expand our footprint we want to provide customers with a seamless transition to our cloud platform,” said Brandon Davito, Senior Vice President of Product and Operations at Verkada. “The new products and features we’re introducing today – including Command Connector, our next-generation reader, and Apple Wallet integration – underscore our commitment to innovating on behalf of our now 25,000 customers globally.”
Command Connector is a new hardware device that provides an on-ramp for third-party cameras to Verkada’s cloud-based Command platform. For customers with large legacy systems, Command Connector offers a migration plan as they transition to Verkada’s Command platform. Command Connector delivers the same easy-to-use Verkada Command interface as well as basic People and Vehicle Analytics, remote management, and powerful enterprise user administration. Verkada’s new AD34 door reader builds on Verkada’s commitment to providing secure and convenient access control systems, with improved scan performance, OSDP v2 security, and Intent Unlock, a powerful new Bluetooth unlock experience.
Verkada’s Access Control solution now integrates with Apple Wallet, enabling users to quickly unlock doors with their iPhone or Apple Watch. In addition to state-of-the-art encryption standards, Apple Wallet integration for employee badges gives organisation administrators streamlined management of mobile credentials at scale and powerful control over badging behaviour, including requiring a second factor for authentication such as FaceID.
