Add an Access Controller
Learn how to add an access controller to your Command account
Before you begin
Verkada access controllers connect to your building's existing door hardware and readers to manage access. Once connected, you can use Verkada Command to manage doors, users, and schedules from any device.
Integrations with Active Directory platforms automatically configure, onboard, and offboard employees. Verkada Command also pairs access control with cameras to deliver real-time video analytics, helping you monitor entry points and respond quickly to important events.
Claim your access controller
You need Org Admin permissions to add an access controller to Command.
In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Devices.
In the top right, click Add Devices.
Enter the serial numbers or order numbers of the devices.
Click Add (X) Device(s). The newly added devices will display on Devices > My Unassigned Devices.
Once you’ve claimed your Verkada access controller, the Access portion of Command will appear, allowing you to manage doors and access controllers.
