PSAP Override in New alarms

This article is a guide for New Alarms. See New Alarms vs Classic Alarms if you are unsure which version of Alarms you have.

---

You can override the default emergency dispatch contact with any Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) of your choice. This is useful when:

• A K-12 site requires a specific PSAP provider
• A site falls under a particular jurisdiction’s PSAP
• You use a private dispatch team

It is the Organization’s responsibility to enter the correct emergency first responders’ routing numbers and verify their accuracy for the specific New Alarm site location. Failure to confirm local emergency dispatch numbers may lead to misrouted calls or delayed responses. Verkada is not responsible for verifying the accuracy or suitability of the routing numbers entered by the organization and disclaims any liability for damages resulting from incorrect configuration.
