Verkada reveals dual-head camera with enhanced capabilities

Verkada has announced its new dual head camera and enhanced alerting capabilities on its Command platform with a wide range of updates.

Expansion

Verkada is expanding its multi-sensor line with a new dual head camera, the CY53-E Two-Camera Multisensor.

The company states that the new dual camera comes with:

• Two viewing angles from a single install point
• An advanced onboard processor
• 2.55x optical zoom in each sensor

Using the new multi-sensor camera, Verkada highlights that organisations can minimise potential blind spots with increased visibility and AI-based analytics and alerts.

Enhanced alerting capabilities

Verkada also introduced enhanced alerting capabilities that enable customers to integrate Verkada Guest, LPR, Alarm events and Helix events into Verkada’s Alert Inbox.

The company highlights that this allows security teams at manufacturing sites to receive an alert anytime a visitor or contractor arrives on-site.

This will significantly enhance its customers’ ability to monitor, assess and respond to critical issues.

Brandon Davito, Senior Vice President of Product and Operations, Verkada commented: “Each new product and feature that we introduce is purpose-built to serve our customers’ evolving needs.

“Whether it’s our new two-camera multi-sensor to monitor entry and exit points more effectively or our customisable, cross-product alerting capabilities, every addition to Verkada’s platform is designed to support efficient enterprise deployments today and scale with our customers into the future,” Davito concluded.
