BoxLock and Verkada Integration: Enhancing Perimeter Security and High-Value Asset Protection
The integration between BoxLock and Verkada creates a powerful unified security solution that significantly enhances perimeter security and protection for high-value assets. By combining BoxLock's smart access control with Verkada's cloud-based security platform, organizations gain comprehensive visibility and control over their secured areas.
Strategic Importance
This integration aligns perfectly with Verkada's vision of providing "One Integrated Physical Security Platform" as highlighted on verkada.com. The combined solution allows organizations to:
- Create a seamless security ecosystem: Unify access control events from BoxLock with video surveillance from Verkada, creating a comprehensive security layer for protecting high-value assets.
- Enhance perimeter security monitoring: Gain visual verification of all BoxLock access events through Verkada's advanced camera systems, ensuring complete situational awareness at secured entry points.
- Simplify security at scale: Manage both BoxLock devices and Verkada cameras from a centralized interface, enabling efficient oversight of multiple secured locations simultaneously.
Key Functionality
Once the integration is enabled, Verkada Cameras appear in the Devices List in BoxLock Control and can be added to Locations. Once added to Locations, BoxLock events will appear as Alerts in Verkada. BoxLock Activities also include links to the associated Verkada Camera footage for Cameras at the same Location.
The BoxLock and Verkada integration currently supports BoxLock Open via Barcode Scan or Press to Open, Close, and Intrusion Alerts.
Benefits for High-Value Asset Protection
- Visual verification: Every BoxLock interaction at a Location with a Verkada Camera is captured and linked, providing video evidence of who accessed secured assets and when.
- Enhanced audit trails: The integration creates comprehensive security logs that combine access events with corresponding video footage, crucial for compliance and investigation purposes.
- Real-time alerts: Security personnel receive immediate notifications when BoxLocks are accessed or when potential intrusions are detected, with direct links to live or recorded video.
- Cloud accessibility: Leveraging Verkada's cloud platform, security teams can monitor high-value assets from anywhere, on any device, aligning with modern security operations.
This integration represents a significant advancement in perimeter security technology, offering organizations a robust solution for protecting their most valuable assets while maintaining operational efficiency.
