Floorplans are a great way to plan and visualize your Verkada system. They can also be useful for a myriad of reasons, from historical activity hotspots to active motion detection. Floorplans also support our Verkada air quality sensors so you can quickly view sensor data straight from the floorplan.

Note: Devices placed on the floorplan will inherit the GPS coordinates from the underlying Google Map.
