Welcome guests with Verkada's intuitive visitor management system that integrates seamlessly with video security and access control. This is your company’s customized check-in kiosk. Guests are greeted with your welcome message in a fully-branded experience that drives them into action. Guests can use the tablet or scan the QR code to check in on their own device, contact-free with a check-in experience tailored to their requirements. While some guest types may need to sign documents and capture a photo, others simply need to enter their name for a quick drop-off. After check-in, the guest’s badge prints automatically and their host is notified. Adding a printer has never been easier. It takes less than a minute to pair any AirPrint-enabled printer with Verkada Guest. Integrated into Command Platform, Guest works seamlessly with your existing Verkada Cameras and Access Control to give you the most comprehensive view of everyone’s activity. With Verkada Cameras, you can review footage of check-ins or keep an eye on your lobby. With Verkada Access Control, you can unlock doors for your guests. It all happens on your Verkada Guest dashboard.
