It’s all in the details. 💎 And at Verkada, those details are brought to life by teams who think big and execute even bigger. For #ISCWest this year, we built the Louvre and invited visitors to step inside to solve the mystery of the missing jewels. From concept to execution, this experience was designed, built, and delivered by incredibly talented teams across engineering, product, marketing, sales, and operations. Here’s a closer look at some of the special touches: 1) Our very own Parisian café, serving lattes for on-the-floor recharge. 2) Product demo stations inspired by Parisian landmarks. At Concorde, visitors can experience how easy it is to bring third-party cameras onto our platform with Command Connector. 3) A life-size Louvre façade and the iconic pyramid, complete with Parisian architecture and integrated security cameras watching over the scene. 4) And last but not least: the most fitting artifact in the Verkada Louvre, the NVR. Locked safely in a museum where it belongs. Moments like this don’t happen by accident - they’re the result of passionate teams who love solving complex problems and building memorable experiences. If you’re excited by the idea of working on projects like this and collaborating with teams who push boundaries, we’d love to meet you. 👉 Explore open roles at verkada.com/careers
