Verkada Alerts notify you wherever important events occur on your premises, enabling you to move from reactive to proactive monitoring. In Command, you can set up alerts for a range of camera events such as motion detection, person of interest detection, tamper detection, and camera status. When the event occurs, you can be notified via email or text, so you can quickly review from anywhere.
