Buildings and Floors

Create buildings and floors to manage your Verkada devices

Buildings and floors are used to organize floorplans and access controllers in your organization. Every floorplan and access controller needs to be assigned to a building and floor in Command before they can be used.

Floorplans allow you to visually see where your cameras, access controllers, and air quality sensors are placed in your organization. Access controllers allow you to control access to the doors in your organization.
