Cloud-Based Access Control With No On-Site Servers
Safe and Sound Security installs Verkada access control systems that run entirely in the cloud. There are no on-premise servers, no NVRs, and no dedicated software to maintain. Verkada Command manages every door, credential, and access event from a single browser-based dashboard. Edge processing on each controller keeps doors operational even during internet outages. Firmware and security patches deploy over the air automatically, so the system stays current without on-site service visits.
Verkada Door Controllers and Readers
Verkada access control hardware includes the AC42 two-door controller for standard commercial entries and the AC62 for elevator and high-security applications. Door readers include the AD34 (touchless wave-to-unlock) and AD64 (multi-format with mobile, card, and PIN). Wireless lock integration with ASSA ABLOY, Schlage, and Allegion covers retrofit installations where new wiring is impractical. Every Verkada controller carries a 10-year hardware warranty.

Mobile Credentials and Verkada Pass
Verkada Pass replaces physical access cards with mobile credentials via Bluetooth and NFC. Employees unlock doors using the Verkada Pass app, Apple Wallet, or Google Wallet. Badge-free entry eliminates lost-card costs and simplifies credential management. Administrators grant remote unlock and set scheduled access from anywhere.
Verkada Command: Manage Every Door From One Dashboard
Verkada Command gives administrators centralized control over every door, credential, and access schedule across all locations. Add or revoke user credentials in seconds. Set door schedules by zone, floor, or building. Real-time alerts flag unauthorized access attempts, forced entries, and door-held events. Verkada Command integrates with Active Directory, SCIM, and SSO so user provisioning syncs with your IT directory. Manage from a desktop browser or the Verkada mobile app.
Unified Video and Access Control on One Platform
Verkada access control and camera systems run on the same Command platform. Every door event links to the nearest camera feed for visual verification of who entered and when. Denied access attempts and forced entries trigger alerts with video clips. Safe and Sound Security installs Verkada cameras and access control under one contract.
NDAA-Compliant Verkada Access Control for Government Facilities
Verkada offers a government-grade access control line for agencies with federal compliance requirements. The AC43-G controller and AD34-G/AD64-G readers meet NDAA Section 889 and TAA standards with FIPS 140-2 validated encryption. Verkada Command runs on AWS GovCloud with FedRAMP In Process (Moderate) designation. PIV readers support HSPD-12 authentication for federal buildings. Safe and Sound Security is approved on 15+ procurement vehicles via CMAS, GSA Schedule 84, and PEPPM for government agencies to purchase through existing contracts.

FAQs
Is Verkada access control worth the investment?
Verkada access control replaces on-premise servers with a cloud platform that includes automatic firmware updates, a 10-year hardware warranty, and centralized management through Verkada Command. The annual license covers software, cloud storage, and support.
Who uses Verkada access control?
Government agencies, school districts, hospitals, corporate offices, and retailers deploy Verkada access control. Government buyers choose the government-grade hardware line for NDAA and FIPS 140-2 compliance. Schools deploy it for campus-wide lockdown and entry control.
Is Verkada access control easy to install?
Verkada controllers connect via standard PoE cabling and configure through the cloud with no local server. Safe and Sound Security’s Verkada-certified technicians handle mounting, wiring, credential programming in Verkada Command, and door-by-door testing. Most existing door hardware is compatible.
How much does Verkada access control cost?

Hardware includes controllers and readers purchased upfront, with an annual software license per door that covers Verkada Command access, cloud storage, firmware updates, and support. Contact Safe and Sound Security for a free site assessment with a quote based on your facility layout.
Is Verkada access control NDAA compliant?
Verkada offers a government-grade product line that meets NDAA Section 889 and TAA requirements. Government-grade controllers and readers use FIPS 140-2 validated encryption and support PIV card authentication for federal buildings. Verkada Command runs on AWS GovCloud with FedRAMP In Process (Moderate) designation. Safe and Sound Security installs NDAA-compliant Verkada systems for agencies purchasing through CMAS, GSA Schedule 84, PEPPM, and other government procurement vehicles.
What are the disadvantages of Verkada access control?
Verkada access control requires an annual license per door, which adds ongoing cost compared to traditional on-premise systems. The platform uses proprietary controllers and readers that must be Verkada hardware. However, edge processing on each controller keeps doors operational during internet outages. The 10-year hardware warranty covers the full replacement cost. Wireless lock integration with ASSA ABLOY, Schlage, and Allegion reduces the proprietary concern for door hardware itself.
How is Verkada access control wired?
Verkada controllers connect to the network through a single PoE (Power over Ethernet) cable that provides both power and data. Each controller supports up to two doors with readers wired via RS-485 or Wiegand connections. No local server or NVR is needed. The controller communicates with Verkada Command through the cloud, and edge processing handles access decisions locally for sub-second unlock times.
Does Verkada access control work with existing door hardware?
Verkada controllers and readers retrofit onto most existing commercial door frames and hardware. The system supports electrified locks, magnetic locks, and electric strikes without replacing the door. Wireless lock integration with ASSA ABLOY, Schlage, and Allegion adds credential-based access to doors where running new wiring is impractical. Safe and Sound Security surveys existing doors before installation to confirm hardware compatibility.
Verkada Cloud-Connected Access Controllers
Verkada’s cloud-connected access controllers process door decisions at the edge in under one second, even during internet outages. Each controller syncs access events to Verkada Command in real time when connectivity is available. Firmware updates and security patches deploy over the air without scheduling service visits. Local access log storage provides a backup independent of cloud connectivity. A built-in fire alarm interface triggers emergency door release when connected to the building’s fire panel.
