When something goes wrong at your facility, your security team shouldn't spend days piecing together what happened. With Verkada’s AI-Powered Incident Investigation, available through GFI Digital, an authorized Verkada partner, they can quickly reconstruct incidents in seconds instead of days.

The Old Way Doesn't Work

Traditional incident investigation is a grind. Teams pull footage camera by camera, manually cross-reference timestamps, and still end up with an incomplete picture. Evidence gets copied to thumb drives. Sharing with law enforcement means large file transfers and back-and-forth delays. Key details get missed simply because there aren't enough hours in the day.

It's not a people problem. It's a process problem and it's fixable.


AI-Powered Incident Investigation: Meet Verkada's Unified Timeline

The AI-Powered Unified Timeline, part of the Verkada Command platform, automatically reconstructs a complete incident across your entire camera network in seconds. Instead of hunting through individual feeds, investigators get a single, map-based, chronological view of exactly how a person or vehicle moved through your property from arrival to departure.

For businesses managing multi-site facilities, large campuses, or high-traffic properties, that speed isn't just convenient. It's the difference between a resolved incident and a missed one.


How It Works

  1. Search and identify. Use Verkada's AI-powered search tools, including face search, license plate lookup, preset filters, and plain-language descriptions, to find the person or vehicle of interest. Click on them to instantly generate a timeline.

  2. Build automatically. Verkada's AI consolidates every camera sighting into a chronological view. Organizations with uploaded floorplans get a map overlay showing which cameras detected the subject and in what sequence.

  3. Add vehicle footage. Pull in license plate data and vehicle footage directly into the same timeline. No switching screens, no separate workflow.

  4. Clean it up. Remove irrelevant clips to sharpen the focus. Convert the finished timeline into a formal incident with one click.

  5. Share it. Send a direct link to law enforcement, your insurance team, or internal stakeholders. No thumb drives. No massive exports. Just a link.
