Learn more about your Verkada Air Quality Sensor data readings
Verkada Air Quality Sensors have varied readings that allow you to gain more insight into your building or monitor areas where video monitoring is not allowed.
Sensor data by model
The data available depends on your sensor model. See Sensor Readings for more information about the breakdown of the different sensor readings per model.
Temperature
Room temperature
Humidity
Room humidity
Heat Index
A combined index that represents what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the temperature
Humidex
Humidex measures how hot we feel in hot, humid weather.
Mold Risk Index
The Mold Risk Index assesses the likelihood of mold growth in confined, unventilated spaces, based on temperature and humidity levels.
Dew Point
The dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled, at constant pressure, for the air to reach 100% relative humidity, meaning the air becomes saturated with water vapor.
Carbon Dioxide
Concentration of CO2 gas, measured in ppm
Tamper
Indicates if the sensor is being tampered with
Includes all data output of the SV21, plus the following.
Vape Index
A combined index that represents the likelihood that someone is vaping in the vicinity of the sensor
Noise Level
Noise level in the room, measured in dB
Air Quality Index
U.S. Air Quality Index, derived from multiple sensors
TVOC
Volatile organic compound level in the air measured in an index
PM 2.5
PM 4.0 PM 10.0
Fine particulate level measured in microgrammes per cubic meter
Motion
Motion detected by the Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor
RESET® Viral Index
The RESET® Viral Index is an index designed to assess the likelihood of airborne virus transmission in indoor spaces.
Includes all data output of the SV23, plus the following.
Carbon Monoxide
Concentration of Carbon Monoxide gas, measured in ppm
Formaldehyde (CH2O)
Concentration of Formaldehyde (CH2O) gas, measured in ppb
Barometric Pressure
Measurement of air pressure in the atmosphere
Verkada’s first-generation sensor outputs data on the following readings.

View details about your sensor
Select which reading you want to view. For a detailed view, select from the list. Learn more about sensor readings.
As you scrub through the graph, the side readings also follow the time frame you hover over.
When you select a reading from the list on the left, the Alerts section below filters alerts for the selected reading. You can view all alerts by changing the filter on the right to All Sensors.
Select a time range and custom date range
(Optional) Specify a custom or present range using one of these options:
On the dropdown menu above the graph, select Custom to specify a range of time from the calendar, and click Apply. (As your date range increases, the resolution of your chart decreases.)
Click and drag the cursor over the desired time frame. This zooms in on the data. (Click Reset to zoom out to the original time frame.) This can be useful in understanding how long-term and macro changes in your environment, such as seasons, can affect air quality or cleaning habits.
Data retention and resolution
The Verkada sensors store sensor data for 365 days. After the 365th day, the oldest sensor data is overwritten with the newest data.
For the SV11, data is stored at a 1-second resolution for 30 days. For days 31–365, data is stored at a 5-minute resolution.
For the SV20 series, data is stored at a 5-second resolution for 30 days. For days 31–365, data is stored at a 5-minute resolution.
Export sensor data and alerts
On Download CSV
a. Select Sensor Data or Alerts, depending on what type of data you want to download. b. Check the box next to the sensor readings you want to download. By default, the temperature is Fahrenheit. You can choose Celsius, if preferred. c. Set the date range (Last 5 Minutes, Last Hour, Last Day, Last Week, Last Month, Last Year, Custom) for the report. d. Choose the resolution (1 Minute, 5 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 1 Hour, 1 Day) and then click Export.
For sensor data, you can export data at various predefined resolutions (5s, 1min, 5min, 30min, 1hr, 1day). The table shows the maximum resolution that can be exported for a given time range.
