Verkada: Building Durable Alarm Responses
Abstract
Verkada Alarms is a modern, cloud-based alarm system that helps organizations detect, verify, and respond to intruders. Organizations can trigger alarms during a configurable schedule, with Verkada cameras, which have AI person detection capabilities, or from any of the wired and wireless sensors that talk to cloud-managed intrusion hardware. Organizations get 24/7 professional monitoring, where a team of trained agents can help video-verify trigger events, call designated contacts, perform live talk down, and request police dispatch if needed.
Join us to discover how Verkada is revolutionizing the Alarms experience and protecting people and places with confidence. In this deep dive into the Alarms' Response backend, we discuss how we leverage Temporal to build this critical response system and also share the lessons learned along the way.
