Verkada announced the availability of AI-powered deterrence, a novel solution designed to proactively help prevent crime by detecting and warning potential intruders before raising an alarm. Leveraging the latest large vision, audio and language models, Verkada's AI-powered deterrence feature analyzes footage from video security cameras to detect unauthorized behavior like loitering and automatically triggers a sequence of AI-generated messages that incorporate scene context and escalate deterrence measures over time if the person remains on site.

Verkada also announced the availability of more advanced AI-powered alerting capabilities, including compound alerts, which enable customers to trigger notifications only when multiple conditions that they specify are met. Verkada’s new AI-powered functionality, like live translation, voice directory, biometric ID verification and incident summaries, span its intercoms and visitor management product.
