Video Security Cameras

The right model depends on the environment and what you're trying to capture. Indoor Dome (D-Series, 4–8MP) covers offices, retail floors, and lobbies. Outdoor Dome (CD-Series, weatherproof and vandal-resistant up to 4K) handles entrances, parking lots, and exterior walls. PTZ cameras with 32x optical zoom and auto-tracking cover large open areas like warehouses or campuses. LPR (license plate recognition) cameras read plates at speed for parking lots and gates. Low-light cameras deliver color imaging in near-darkness for lobbies and hallways. Fisheye 360° cameras replace multiple fixed cameras in open floor plans. We walk your site during a free assessment and spec the right combination — most facilities use a mix.

Every Verkada camera processes AI locally — no separate servers or subscriptions. Standard analytics include person and vehicle detection, motion search (find clips of specific events in seconds), occupancy and crowd monitoring, and configurable alerts. License plate recognition is built into LPR-specific models, with a searchable plate database and watchlist triggers. Higher-tier models add facial recognition with watchlists. All analytics run on-camera, so they keep working even if internet connectivity drops.

Verkada cameras have built-in solid-state storage that holds 30 to 365 days of continuous footage depending on the model and license tier. Recording happens locally on the camera, with optional encrypted cloud backup for redundancy. If your internet goes down, the cameras keep recording — once connectivity returns, recent activity syncs to the cloud automatically. You never lose footage to a network outage, and you never need an NVR to act as a single point of failure.

Both. Verkada Command works in any modern web browser and has dedicated iOS and Android apps. Live views, recorded playback, multi-camera grids, motion search, and alert review are all available on mobile. The same granular user permissions apply — so a manager can see all sites while a department head only sees their floor — and every action is logged for audit. No VPN, no port forwarding, no separate viewer software.

Every Verkada camera ships with a 10-year hardware warranty — one of the longest in the industry. If a camera fails within that window, Verkada replaces it. Firmware updates, security patches, and AI model improvements are pushed automatically by Verkada throughout the life of your subscription, so cameras keep getting smarter without you doing anything. Blue Cap IT handles RMA paperwork, on-site swap-outs, and reconfiguration if a replacement is ever needed — you don't deal with vendor logistics.
