# Manage Alerts Across Verkada Products

Alerts notify you of important events from your organization. This allows you to shift from reactive to proactive monitoring.

The [Alerts](https://command.verkada.com/alerts/device-events) page lets users view their subscribed alerts to easily find important events and relevant footage. You can set up alerts for events across the cameras, intercom, [access control](/access-control/integrations-and-alerts/configure-access-control-event-alerts.md), [alarms](/classic-alarms/events-and-alerts/configure-alarms-event-alerts.md), [gateway](/connectivity/events-and-alerts/configure-gateway-status-alerts.md), and [air quality](/air-quality/events-and-alerts/configure-air-quality-event-alerts.md) product lines.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Editors are **not** added as alert [recipients](/command/organization-settings/create-alerts-across-verkada-products.md) by default. This means editors can not see the events on their Alerts page and will not receive notifications for alerts unless they are also added as alert recipients.
