Learn to use grids to enable live video monitoring in Verkada Command

Updated over a week ago

The Verkada Grids feature helps you monitor multiple camera feeds in real time. You can add up to 12 camera feeds per page for live video monitoring.

Recommendation: We recommend the use of custom grids because the default All Cameras Grid cannot be modified.
