    As I mentioned before, it can only be employed in simple basic visual recognition applications. It can be employed in large projects and relying it on completely is not encouraged. It's better to create your own algorithms rather than using it. If you are from a non-programming background, then I may suggest you rely on this and use it to develop simple apps that can predict a few plants and animals.

    I think Verkada is incredibly scalable, and could be used in a small business as well as a large business. They have 4-door controllers and 16-door controllers, and the licensing depends on how many doors you wish to utilize - so even if you have only two doors - you're not overpaying for a four-door controller, while still having the ability to expand in the future if need-be. We have rolled out their cameras and door access control across our entire district, and we love it!

    Usability
    Discontinued Products
    I am giving this rating on the basis of its usability in real-time applications and based on the interface to upload negative and positive images to train the AI. But it's not perfect and sometimes its predictions are wrong. On overall usability, it's better if you are planning on working with UI rather than using complex programs and algorithms on your own.

    Keri Door Access Control (Doors.Net Services). It's like going from DSL to Fiber internet. We have so many more features available to us now, and we are able to divide up roles amongst administrators/front desk positions/security personnel so that the IT team doesn't have so many overhead requests to change time schedules, or pull footage when needed. I'm not a fan of recurring licensing contracts, but it seems that's the way the entire industry is going, so there's no way to escape that. Verkada's customer support is fantastic - as they have live chat, phone support and email support available 24/7. Very happy with their total product suite, and will continue using them moving forward. We have deployed door access, cameras, vape/smoke/environmental sensors, Guest visit services and doorbell/intercom systems. All is great, and integrates well within all of our buildings
