Introducing Our Physical Security Solutions Powered by Verkada

NextGen Automation • February 4, 2026

Physical security has traditionally been treated as a separate system from the rest of a company’s technology. Cameras, access cards, and alarms often exist in isolation, managed by different vendors and disconnected from broader IT and security strategies.

As businesses become more connected and security expectations continue to rise, this approach is no longer enough.


That is why we are excited to introduce physical security solutions powered by Verkada as part of our technology services. This new offering allows us to help organizations protect their people, spaces, and operations using a modern, cloud based approach that aligns with today’s IT environments.


The Evolution of Physical Security in Modern Businesses

The way businesses operate has changed dramatically. Workplaces are more distributed, compliance requirements are more complex, and visibility into what is happening across facilities is more important than ever.


Physical security has evolved alongside these changes. What was once a passive system designed only to record events is now expected to provide real time insight, proactive alerts, and centralized control across multiple locations.


Modern physical security must support business continuity, employee safety, and operational awareness, not just incident review after the fact.


Why Traditional Physical Security No Longer Works

Many organizations are still relying on legacy physical security systems that were built for a different time. These systems often depend on on site servers, disconnected components, and manual processes.


Common challenges include limited remote access, slow incident investigations, difficulty scaling across locations, and high maintenance requirements. When systems are fragmented, security teams and operations leaders lack the visibility they need to respond quickly and confidently.


In a world where security risks can escalate rapidly, reactive tools create unnecessary exposure.


What Makes Verkada Different

Verkada takes a fundamentally different approach to physical security by delivering a fully cloud managed platform that unifies video security, access control, alarms, and environmental monitoring in one place.


Instead of managing multiple tools and interfaces, organizations gain a single dashboard that provides real time visibility across all locations. Systems are continuously updated, securely accessible from anywhere, and designed to scale as businesses grow.

This unified approach simplifies management while significantly improving situational awareness and control.


From Cameras to Actionable Intelligence

Modern physical security is not just about capturing video. It is about understanding what is happening across your environment and acting quickly when it matters.


Verkada uses intelligent analytics to help teams search events, investigate incidents, and identify patterns more efficiently. This reduces response times, improves safety outcomes, and allows organizations to move from reactive monitoring to proactive security management.


The result is better decision making supported by clear, reliable data. Our Physical Security Services


Our physical security offering is designed as a complete service, not just a technology deployment. We support organizations at every stage, from planning to ongoing optimization.

Physical Security Assessment and Planning

We begin by understanding your environment, risks, and business goals. This includes reviewing existing systems, identifying coverage gaps, and designing a solution that fits your operational needs and compliance requirements.


Video Security Solutions

We deploy high quality, cloud connected cameras that provide clear visibility across your facilities. Video security is centrally managed and accessible in real time, making it easier to monitor activity and investigate incidents.


Access Control Systems

We implement modern, keyless access control that allows you to manage doors, users, and permissions through a secure cloud platform. This helps improve security while simplifying administration.


Alarm and Intrusion Detection

Our alarm solutions integrate seamlessly with video and access control, enabling faster response and better situational awareness when incidents occur.


Environmental Monitoring

We provide sensors that monitor conditions such as temperature, air quality, and water leaks. These tools help protect critical spaces like server rooms, offices, and storage areas.


Installation, Configuration, and Ongoing Support

Our team handles professional installation, system configuration, and ongoing support. We ensure your physical security environment remains effective, up to date, and aligned with your business as it evolves.



Why Physical Security Belongs in Your IT Strategy

Physical security is no longer only a facilities concern. It directly intersects with cybersecurity, identity management, compliance, and risk management.


When physical security is integrated into a broader IT strategy, businesses benefit from reduced complexity, improved accountability, and a more complete view of their security posture. Managing physical and digital security together helps eliminate gaps that can otherwise be exploited.


This is why we approach physical security as a core component of a modern technology ecosystem, not as a standalone solution.
