First-time day at Verkada

Stop IR resets while DVT boards near their build lock

You’re the hardware / mechanical / manufacturing engineer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 15, 2026.

Night illumination is exposing a power margin that daytime validation does not see.

Reliable evidence capture at night pulls against the component and layout limits already set for DVT.

Who you’d be doing this for

“The first thing I need after an overnight incident is the footage, not a camera that rebooted when the lights changed.”

Lucia Barros · Security Manager

Runs overnight security coverage for a multi-site healthcare organization using cameras for incident review.

What is at stake

Cold-chamber cameras restart when IR illumination turns on, putting nighttime footage at risk. You must weigh a fast board correction against thermal margin, supply availability, and DVT timing.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • night evidence continuity vs. DVT schedule
  • power margin vs. existing layout
  • production screening vs. line throughput
  • firmware workaround vs. hardware robustness

Why Verkada

Camera availability during nighttime incidents protects the evidence continuity expected from cloud-managed video security.
