Came across this beauty today! This is a Verkada access installation. How many things can you see that are incorrect? I bring this up because I feel that anyone with a heartbeat can be a Verkada access control dealer. The Verkada dealers we run up against are IT firms that, as you can see from this image, have little to no knowledge of access control fundamentals, life safety standards, or door hardware. Very poor for the client (and they knew it) and very poor for our industry.
