Verkada, a pioneer in AI-powered physical security technology, unveiled a range of product enhancements designed to make physical security more proactive and intelligent during its annual customer conference, VerkadaOne.
More than 2,000 IT and physical security pioneers gathered in Chicago to connect and learn about new solutions from Verkada that are empowering physical security pioneers to protect people and places.
Building on its suite of AI features like People and Vehicle Analytics and AI-Powered Search, Verkada introduced a first-of-its-kind tool to visually reconstruct the entire journey of people and vehicles across a property.

With the new AI-Powered Unified Timeline, Verkada Command will unify video events from all cameras onto a single, map-based timeline.
Paired with expanded AI-Powered Alerts that include activity- and industry-specific detections and an Operator View that centralizes alerts into a ticket-based system with a structured workflow, Verkada is delivering powerful tools to unlock new efficiency for security professionals.
Verkada also expanded on its dominance in cloud access control by launching a new wireless lock series and Face Unlock feature with its new AF64 Access Station Pro. The AF64 allows users to simply walk up to a door and unlock it with their face as their key.
Novel AF64 reader
The novel AF64 reader combines a single-door controller, multi-technology door reader, 5.5” touchscreen, and a full-featured 5MP wide angle camera into one sleek device that requires only a PoE connection to get up and running.
Verkada is also extending the power of its platform to reach beyond the perimeter of buildings and to even more remote locations than ever. Verkada’s new CR63-E Remote Camera with LTE enables organizations to easily monitor areas that lack power and internet infrastructure.
To offer even flexible solutions for mobile or temporary deployments, Verkada introduced its MT81 Cloud-Managed Security Trailer, a solar-powered, cloud-managed trailer that supports up to six Verkada devices.
Additional features and improvements
"We're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in physical security, delivering a platform that powers the entire workflow of a security professional,” said Brandon Davito, SVP of Product and Operations.
“From the most powerful, industry-focused AI Alerts to customizable workflows, our customers have the most advanced tools in the market to keep their people and places safe."
Verkada’s cloud-based software platform is constantly improving and expanding. Additional features, functionalities, and improvements it announced include:
- New retail analytics and reporting features that provide retailers with valuable insights, including queue trends, conversion data, and exception-based reporting.
- A new attendance analytics dashboard that delivers insights based on access control data to help organizations better understand how their spaces are being used across sites, departments, and individuals.
- A new device analytics dashboard that simplifies camera management at scale with a real-time view into device performance and system health across organizations, sites and sub-sites.
- A new incident response feature for Verkada Guest. Modeled after the Standard Reunification Method (SRM) developed by The “I Love U Guys” Foundation, Verkada customers can now implement emergency response and reunification protocols through a customizable interface.
Next-generation hardware
In addition to unveiling upgrades to Verkada’s Command platform, Verkada introduced next-generation hardware across its product lines to support even more use cases.
- New and next-generation multisensor cameras. The redesigned CH53-E and CH63-E four-camera multisensors and the CY63-E two-camera multisensor offer organizations a multisensor camera for nearly any deployment scenario.
- New wireless alarm panel and next generation wireless sensors. The new BP32 wireless alarm panel is powered by a single PoE cable and small enough to fit discreetly in tight spaces, making it easy to bring Verkada Alarms to sites like retail stores, clinics, and restaurants. Verkada’s new generation of wireless sensors begins with the QM11 Motion Sensor, QC11 Door Contact, and QT11 Universal Transmitter, with more to follow.
Verkada customers will have access to these new software features and functionalities on October 9. Hardware ship dates vary by device.
