While Verkada touts the security of its system and that how their new door controller was "built from the ground up", one particularly surprising and insecure element is its dependence on Wiegand and lack of OSDP.
Inside this note, the company answers why they made the choice and we examine how Wiegand represents a risk that most Verkada competitors have taken steps to mitigate.
[Update June 30, 2020 - Verkada tells IPVM they now plan to support 3rd party readers via OSDP "over the next 3-4 months."]

To be clear about what we support initially, we informed you and our partners that we do not support OSDP in the first version of the product. We have always planned to launch OSDP for all devices (third party devices and a potential Verkada reader) in the near future.
