Review: Verkada CD52 Dome Camera Supports Agencies with Easy Integration

This video surveillance tool helps bolster physical security in government buildings.

Physical security remains a major concern for state and local agencies, which must safeguard citizens conducting business and protect sensitive information, within their buildings.

One major technology supports both physical security and cybersecurity efforts: video cameras. Cameras play a key role in implementing sound visitor and access management by providing effective video surveillance.

Cameras can record and deter theft, unauthorized access and on-premises attacks, and when placed in the right locations, they can also help address data theft and insider threats.
