The platform is the same. The building never is.
A school, a hotel and a laboratory need the same six products configured in completely different ways. These are the buildings we know well enough to argue about.
Six kinds of building
Every one of these has a live installation behind it, linked from the card. If your sector is not here, the answer is almost certainly still yes — ask.
Schools and colleges
Vaping is the reason most schools call, and safeguarding is the reason they stay. Sensors go where a camera cannot; cameras cover the approaches and the perimeter.
- Vape and THC detection in toilets and changing rooms
- Alerts to the designated safeguarding lead, not a general inbox
- Sensor alert paired to the camera covering the corridor
- Deployment sized to where incidents were actually reported
We’ve done this: Cranleigh School, Pipers Corner School
Offices and workspace
Where a public floor meets a private one, the security boundary is the whole problem. Tailgating detection does what a staffed desk at every transition used to.
- Tailgating and door-held detection with the clip attached
- Zoned access between public and controlled areas
- Credentials that follow the directory, so leavers actually lose access
- Fit-out work — cabling, Wi-Fi, firewall — on the same programme
We’ve done this: Landmark Underwriting, Account Technologies
Hotels and hospitality
Readers that suit the door they are fitted to, in buildings where the fabric matters as much as the function, integrated with the systems reception already runs.
- Discreet readers on guest lifts, back of house and service entrances
- Access policies by role and by zone
- Integration with the property management system
- Out-of-hours and phased installation around trading
We’ve done this: Belmond, L'oscar Hotel
Laboratories and life sciences
Mixed office and lab space with different access rules per area, on a platform that a second site — or a second country — can join without new infrastructure.
- Zoned access across offices, labs and plant
- Works around live construction and fit-out
- One console for several sites
- Same-day attendance when a controller fails
We’ve done this: Refeyn Ltd
Leisure and venues
High footfall, real health and safety exposure, and lighting conditions that defeat cheap cameras. Evidence quality is the specification, not a bonus.
- 4K coverage of the areas that generate incidents
- Footage good enough for an H&S investigation or an insurance claim
- Performance in low light and high contrast
- Live feeds where the venue wants them
We’ve done this: The Snow Centre
Multi-site estates
Nine offices administered like one building. Cloud management is what makes a national estate practical without a security manager in every town.
- Every site in one console, one set of roles
- Active Directory or Entra ID behind the credentials
- One rollout programme rather than nine projects
- A new site enrols rather than gets built
We’ve done this: Softcat plc, Process Sensing Technologies
Different buildings, same console
A leisure centre, a restaurant floor, a school reception and a loading bay. The platform does not change; the specification does.
A Verkada partner inside an electrical contractor
Verkada CCTV is the Verkada practice of SEG Core, part of The Specialist Electrical Group. That combination is the point: most Verkada resellers have to bring in an electrician, and most electricians have never configured Command.
SEG Core
Managed IT, cyber security and building security. Verkada CCTV is SEG Core’s Verkada practice — same engineers, same accreditations, same invoice.

segplc.com →What that gets you
- A Verkada Gold Partner, so the platform is configured by people who work in it every day rather than once a year
- Directly employed engineers, with the electrical accreditations and method statements to work in live commercial buildings
- Containment, cabling, power and certification included rather than left as “by others” on the quote
- One order, one programme and one invoice, whoever does which part
