Verkada cloud-based video management systems (VMS) allow users to manage and view video footage from anywhere in the world from cameras installed at any business location.

Configure Settings and Preferences
Configuring settings and preferences in Verkada’s cloud-based video management system allows you to customize the system to your specific business needs. You can configure settings for users, channels, cameras, recordings, and more.
The Users tab lets you create new users, edit or delete existing users, and assign user roles. Each user has a unique login name and password. User roles determine the user’s access level to the system. There are four predefined user roles: Administrator, Manager, Operator, and Viewer. Administrators have full access to all system features, while Viewers can only view live and recorded video footage.
The Channels tab lets you create new channels or edit or delete existing channels. A channel is simply a collection of cameras that share similar settings. Channels allow you to manage multiple cameras with a single set of configuration settings.
The Cameras tab lets you add new cameras or edit or delete existing cameras. To add a camera, you will need its IP address or Hostname and port number. You can also specify the video resolution, frame rate (e.g., 30 fps), bit rate (e .g., 6 Mbps), and other camera-specific settings here. If your camera supports two-way audio, you can also enable it here.
Manage User Access
User access management is an integral part of any video management system. In Verkada’s cloud-based VMS, administrators can manage user access to videos and video footage in various ways.
Administrators can manage user access by creating groups and assigning users to those groups. Groups can be made for any purpose, such as departmental or regional divisions or security levels. Once users are assigned to groups, they will have the same level of access to videos and video footage within the VMS as all other group members. This makes it easy for administrators to give specific employees or teams access to videos without giving them individual permissions.
Administrators can also manage user access on a per-video basis. This allows them to set different permissions for different videos, depending on their needs. Administrators can create a more customized experience for each employee by selecting additional permissions for different videos.
Finally, administrators can use role-based access controls to manage user access. With role-based access controls, administrators can create roles that define which tasks an employee is allowed to perform in the VMS. This gives administrators more granular control over what employees can do in the VMS and helps secure sensitive information.
Using Verkada’s cloud-based video management system is essential to maintain a high level of security for any organization. By using Verkada’s system, organizations can rest assured that their video data is being stored and managed securely and reliably. Together, these solutions provide a comprehensive view of your environment, so you can feel confident that your safety is always a top priority.
