Verkada, a provider of AI-powered physical security and operations, has unveiled new capabilities for vehicle fleets, enterprise sound systems, and building operations during its annual customer conference, VerkadaOne.
More than 2,500 IT and physical security leaders gathered in Miami to see new ways that Verkada is bringing physical AI into the built environment and solving complex security and operational challenges.
Protecting people and assets in motion with Verkada Transportation
Verkada is extending enterprise protection to people and assets in transit with its new Verkada Transportation product line. With three ruggedized camera models, a 5G and Wi-Fi vehicle gateway, integration with vehicle diagnostics, and an enhanced Command experience, Verkada’s platform will ensure every vehicle is safe, secure and ready for transit – and passenger privacy with face blurring. Security teams can access footage from moving or parked vehicles, review fleet-wide driving events to track overall safety and performance, and search by GPS location, driving behavior, or vehicle health.
Streamlining cloud-managed audio with Verkada Sound Systems
Verkada launched Sound Systems, bringing cloud-based control to enterprise audio. Sound Systems offers a single interface for enterprises to manage every part of an organization’s audio environment – from hardware to ambient music, and even announcements – while eliminating the need for separate apps, local consoles, and vendor portals that enterprise sound systems have traditionally required. The lineup includes Network Audio Players to connect existing third-party speakers and amplifiers to Command, as well as Network Speakers with plug-and-play Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity for simplified deployment.
Introducing Catalyst, Verkada’s MCP for Physical AI
Verkada introduced Catalyst, a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for its Command platform that enables customers to connect approved third-party AI platforms like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. With Catalyst, teams can create custom operational workflows, reports, and integrations in minutes using natural language – from confirming shelves are stocked to triggering an IT ticket when a camera or sensor loses its network connection. Catalyst will roll out as a read-only tool, ensuring organizations retain control over their agents and workflows.
Software updates will begin rolling out October 8. Hardware will begin shipping in October and November. To learn more, visit www.verkada.com.
