NIC Partners + Verkada
A video security solution built on Verkada's platform, designed, installed, and supported by NIC Partners.
NIC Partners + Verkada
NIC Partners' video security solution puts Verkada's cloud cameras, access control, alarms, and intercoms to work inside a system NIC Partners designs, installs, and integrates end to end. Verkada builds the platform. NIC Partners works with a district or organization to decide how that platform gets deployed, connects it to the rest of that organization's safety and communication systems, and stays on as the team responsible for it once it's live.
What the Verkada platform covers
NIC Partners deploys any of the following, on their own or together as one system, depending on what a district or organization needs:
Cameras.
Cloud-managed video cameras with onboard storage and real-time alerts, with footage searchable across every camera on a site.
Access control.
Cloud-based door access and credential management running on the same platform as video, so an access event and its camera footage tie together automatically.
Bus safety.
Onboard cameras and monitoring for buses, extending the same visibility from campus to the ride to and from school.
Alarms.
Door, motion, and environmental sensors that trigger verified alerts tied directly to live camera footage.
Guest and visitor management.
A visitor sign-in and badge system tied to access control, so front-desk staff know who is on site at all times.
Intercom.
Video intercom for building entry and two-way communication during an emergency.
What NIC Partners adds to the Verkada platform
01
Architecture planned around what a district already has.
Verkada’s cameras store footage onboard and are managed from the cloud, with no recording servers to buy or maintain. NIC Partners designs the surrounding network, power, and camera placement so a district can retire legacy server-based systems without a costly rebuild.
02
One team across the full security and communication stack.
Video is one piece of what a district needs. NIC Partners ties Verkada's platform into the networking, power, alerting, and access control systems already running on a campus, so a district has one accountable team instead of coordinating separate vendors itself.
03
Deployment experience built for schools and government, not just IT departments.
NIC Partners trains the people who actually run these systems, principals, facilities staff, security teams, most without an IT background, so a district isn't dependent on filing a ticket to investigate an incident.
04
Support that doesn't end at the sale.
NIC Partners' account teams stay on as a customer's first line of support after installation, working alongside Verkada's own engineers when something needs deeper expertise. The relationship is built to outlast the purchase order.
05
A platform shaped by field experience.
NIC Partners joined Verkada's intercom beta program to bring two decades of installation experience into how that product got built, so the platform NIC Partners deploys today reflects real deployment conditions, not just a spec sheet.

Edge
Processing, no data center
When Torrance USD's legacy camera system aged past its useful life, NIC Partners designed the replacement: more than 2,500 Verkada cameras running on edge processing, so the district didn't need a data center to support it. That design is what let district leaders investigate incidents themselves, search a photo across every camera on campus, and extend that same visibility to parking lots and school buses. The outcome belongs to NIC Partners' work, not just the hardware.
