About Verkada
At Verkada, we're rethinking what it means to be physically safe. Today, we build security cameras that detect action, identify danger and help keep people and places safe and secure. Using a combination of software and hardware, we're transforming an industry that has seen little innovation for decades—and we already support thousands of customers. But this is just the beginning.
