Integration Summary
Verkada integrates with Skydio drones to cut response times and extend visibility when security cameras trigger critical alerts.
A custom alert in Verkada Command deploys a Skydio drone automatically. Verkada sends the triggering camera’s GPS coordinates and video footage to the Skydio platform, and the drone’s aerial feed returns to Command alongside every other camera on the system.
Integration Benefits
Automate Deployment - Custom alerts in Verkada Command deploy a Skydio drone automatically when specific events occur.
Send Contextual Information - Verkada sends the GPS coordinates of the triggering camera and the video footage of the event directly to the Skydio platform.
Unify Live Video Streams - A deployed drone’s aerial feed becomes available in Verkada Command for live monitoring alongside other camera feeds, so operators move between drone footage, fixed cameras, and other devices in one interface.
Review Footage While Flying - Operators review aerial footage in Verkada Command while the drone is still in flight, supporting real-time investigation without interrupting live operations.
Centralize Evidence Management - Drone flight footage is archived and added to incident reports inside Verkada Command for secure retention and review.
Enhance Geospatial Awareness - Live GPS coordinates and aerial video display on interactive maps in Verkada Command, improving situational awareness and surfacing nearby devices.
