What happens during a firmware update?

Automatic Failover for Reliability

Verkada intercoms use a dual-partition firmware bank, ensuring updates are reliable and resilient. If an update fails, the intercom automatically rolls back to the previous version and retries the update at a later time.

Does the intercom stop recording during updates?

Verkada intercoms are designed for failsafe updates that minimize service interruptions. While the device may briefly go offline during the final stage of the update, this typically occurs during your scheduled maintenance window to reduce disruption.
