Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Verkada alarm and intrusion detection systems from Blue Cap IT, an official Verkada Gold Partner.

How is a Verkada alarm system different from a traditional alarm like ADT or Brinks?
Traditional alarm systems are isolated — a separate panel, a separate monitoring contract, and no real connection to your cameras or doors. Verkada alarms are built into the same cloud platform as your cameras and access control. When a sensor fires, you instantly see live video from the nearest camera in the same dashboard, and your team gets mobile alerts with video attached. Same protection, far less noise.

Do I need a separate professional monitoring contract, or does Verkada include it?
You have options. The Verkada Alarm Panel (BP52) connects directly to your team via mobile alerts — no monitoring contract required. If your insurance requires professional monitoring, Verkada integrates with central station monitoring services.

What sensors and devices does Verkada's alarm system support?
Alarm panels (BP52), touchscreen keypads, wireless hubs (WH52), PIR motion sensors (BR32), glass break sensors (BR34), panic buttons (BR33), indoor sirens (BZ11), weatherproof outdoor sirens (BZ32), water leak sensors (BR35), and cellular backup communicators. Sensors are wireless and battery-powered.

How does AI video verification reduce false alarms?
When a sensor triggers, Verkada analyzes the video using AI. If it sees a person where one shouldn't be, you get an alert with the clip attached. This reduces false alarms, allowing your team to respond when it matters.

What happens to my alarm system if the internet goes out?
The alarm system continues working. The BP52 Alarm Panel monitors sensors locally, and the optional Cellular Backup Communicator maintains connectivity over cellular.
