Configure audio messages

You can upload these types of automated audio messages to your Verkada Intercom, where they can play when certain conditions are met:

• An Offline message plays when the device has no internet connection and the call button is pressed.
• A Lockdown message plays when there is an active lockdown and the call button is pressed.
• A No One Home message plays when the call list has been exhausted

You can enable these automated messages in Verkada Command and use the default messages, record your own message, or upload your own .wav, mp3, or text-to-speech AI-generated messages.

For Text-to-Speech AI-generated messages: Type a message in English, French, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, or German. You can then automatically translate it into any of these languages and choose from a selection of AI voices for playback.

You can configure all automated message types individually or globally (applies to all intercoms in your organization).
