New locations inherit centralized control without inheriting a clear daytime exception.
Fast expansion protects centralized administration, while explicit schedule coverage protects staffed locations from avoidable alarms.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The store manager called because the alarm went off at opening, and I had no answer.”

What is at stake
Newly added locations are generating avoidable daytime alarms before staff realize no schedule was set. You must weigh a clear warning against a stricter configuration path that could slow location setup.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- setup speed vs. schedule assurance
- operator capacity vs. daytime access
- inline clarity vs. blocking controls
- portfolio scale vs. local exceptions
Why Verkada
Alarm schedules across hundreds of locations determine whether video-verified intrusion response reaches the right site at the right time.
