Verkada Command
One login across every device and every site — and permissions that genuinely restrict who can see what.
The console is the product
The hardware is good. The reason a trust or a hotel group buys the platform is this.
- Every site in one place. A trust running fourteen schools opens one browser rather than fourteen recorders.
- Roles that mean something. The site team sees the site. The head sees the school. The DPO sees the audit log. Nobody sees everything by default.
- It logs who looked. Every view, export and change is recorded, which is the answer to the question a DPO will eventually ask.
- Single sign-on. Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, with SCIM provisioning — so a leaver loses access when HR removes them, not when somebody remembers.
Getting permissions right on day one
In our experience this is where deployments succeed or quietly fail.
Start restrictive
It is far easier to grant access than to explain why somebody had it.
Separate viewing from exporting
Plenty of staff need to look. Very few need to take a copy away.
Named accounts only
A shared login destroys the audit trail, which is the thing that protects you.
Review it termly
Staff change. A permissions list nobody reviews is a list that is wrong within a year.
Not just a password
- Named accounts for every user who needs one, with roles agreed in advance.
- Site and device groupings that match how you actually work, not how the hardware is wired.
- Alert recipients per alert type, so the right person hears about the right thing.
- SSO configured with your identity provider where you have one.
- A short written guide for the people who will use it weekly.
- A review date in the diary, because none of this stays correct on its own.
