An extension of its flagship conference in the United States, Verkadaone London convened more than 350 IT and physical security leaders to connect and learn about new solutions from Verkada that are offering to empower physical security leaders to be more proactive and efficient than ever.

"I’m proud to showcase the breadth and depth of our product offering here in Europe at Verkadaone London," said Ardon Anderson, Verkada’s Vice President of EMEA. “Our new partnership with Simonsvoss will unlock new potential for us as our access control offering continues to grow, and help make it even easier to deploy seamless, enterprise-grade solutions at scale.”

Today, according to the company, Verkada’s platform controls access for more than 3.7 million users and checks in more than 1.5 million visitors every month. The partnership with Simonsvoss expands its existing network of wireless lock integrations and will make it even easier for organisations across Europe to adopt Verkada’s enterprise-scale access control solution without the need for rewiring.

Like Verkada’s other wireless lock integrations, Simonsvoss and Verkada together allow customers to remotely unlock doors, see live door events, manage door schedules and access, trigger a lockdown, monitor battery levels, and more. Native integration with Verkada’s video security products also provides customers with unique visibility into door events and user activity, making it easy to detect, for example, if someone tailgates in behind an authorised user, or has picked up another person’s keycard.

This new integration also builds on recent improvements and expansions of Verkada's cloud-based software platform that have been focused on entry experience and access control, including:

• Deeper integration between Verkada guest and access control, allowing customers to issue temporary visitor credentials via mobile link or physical badge.

• Support for third-party OSDP door readers for greater flexibility and interoperability.

• Door exceptions and access level APIs to automate access control operations.
