Verkada Cloud Security Cameras in Chicago

Silicon Valley’s Take on Physical Security

Verkada was founded in 2016 in San Mateo, California, and has raised over $460 million in venture capital funding. The company entered the physical security market with a cloud-native approach: cameras with built-in solid-state storage, AI processing on-camera, and a subscription-based cloud management platform called Verkada Command. No on-premise NVR, no VMS server, no local storage infrastructure.

This model appeals to organizations with distributed locations that want centralized cloud management without deploying recording servers at each site. It also appeals to IT-oriented buyers familiar with SaaS purchasing models.

Key Products

Verkada CD-Series Dome Cameras — Indoor and outdoor dome cameras with on-camera storage and AI analytics, ranging from 2MP to 4K.

Verkada CB-Series Bullet Cameras — Outdoor bullet cameras for perimeter and parking lot coverage with cloud management.

Verkada Command — Cloud dashboard for managing cameras, access control, environmental sensors, and alarms across all locations from a single interface.

Verkada Access Control — Cloud-managed door access hardware and reader infrastructure integrated within the Command platform.

Considerations

Verkada operates on a subscription model — cameras require ongoing license fees for cloud storage and management features. For organizations accustomed to one-time-purchase camera systems, the total cost of ownership calculation differs significantly. We recommend comparing 5-year TCO against traditional NVR-based systems.
