Verkada introduces new dual-head camera, enhanced alerting capabilities
Verkada is expanding its multisensor line with a new dual head camera, the CY53-E Two-Camera Multisensor. With two viewing angles from a single install point, an advanced onboard processor, and 2.55x optical zoom in each sensor, organizations can minimize potential blindspots with increased visibility and AI-based analytics and alerts.
Verkada also introduced enhanced alerting capabilities that enable customers to integrate Verkada Guest, LPR, Alarm events, and Helix events into Verkada's Alert Inbox. This means that security teams at a manufacturing site can now receive an alert anytime a visitor or contractor arrives on-site, or a luxury retailer can get an alert anytime a customer purchases a specific high-value product. This will significantly enhance its customers' ability to monitor, assess, and respond to critical issues.
'Each new product and feature that we introduce is purpose-built to serve our customers' evolving needs,' said Brandon Davito, Senior Vice President of Product and Operations at Verkada. 'Whether it's our new two-camera multisensor to monitor entry and exit points more effectively or our customizable, cross-product alerting capabilities, every addition to Verkada's platform is designed to support efficient enterprise deployments today and scale with our customers into the future.'
Verkada also announced a range of additional product and platform updates, including:
Deeper integration between Alarms and Access Control with the addition of door event triggers – door opened, door held open, and door forced open events – to the Verkada Alarms solution. Like intrusion sensors, any access control alarm trigger can be assigned to alarm partitions, paired with cameras for video verification, and subject to the same arm/disarm methods as schedules or key codes. Learn more.
Features designed for enhanced emergency response with Verkada's Intercom, including the ability to create a unique, local phone number associated with outgoing Intercom calls. This not only gives organizations more visibility and the ability to call and 'talk down' to a specific intercom, but also enables them to configure 911 dialing for blue light deployments or emergency scenarios. Learn more.
Continued improvement to the visitor experience with an expanded set of on-demand credentials that organizations can grant for temporary building access, which now includes PIN and QR code options, as well as a new Cisco Meraki integration that provides guests with automatic access to the WiFi network at check-in. Learn more.
Enhanced features and functionalities that speed up investigations, including the ability to group persons of interest into lists and the expansion of History Player Search to include vehicles. Learn more.
New deterrence capabilities, with a wireless siren and strobe that can be triggered by Verkada Alarms. Verkada is also enhancing large site support across its Alarms product with the ability to now connect an unlimited number of its BK22 keypads with one ethernet drop and reducing wiring costs with the ability to daisy-chain up to four of its BE32 expanders. Learn more.
Enhanced functionality for customers on-the-go with Verkada Guest, LPR functionality, Floorplans, and 'My Account' page now available in the Command mobile app. Learn more.
Refreshed UI and search experience in Command that will make it even easier for security administrators to navigate their settings on Verkada's platform, with instant filtering and new feature groupings. Verkada customers can now simply type keywords related to any Command admin setting and find what they need. Learn more.

ELFI study shows college meal plans to be a significant portion of college costs
Popular cost-cutting advice to skip meal plans may not be feasible for most students KNOXVILLE, Tenn., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A recent study by student loan lender ELFI surveyed current meal plan pricing at 150 colleges and universities nationwide, concluding that 98% of surveyed institutions require freshmen to purchase meal plans. This makes a common cost-cutting strategy – skipping meal plans in favor of home-cooked meals – impractical for many students. Meal plans can present a significant expense among college-related costs. ELFI found that current plans average $5,600 per academic year, totaling anywhere from $12,000 to $44,000 over four years. Private school meal plans cost 22% more than public school plans on average. The study also found that college meal plans are considerably more expensive than the standard cost of meals, based on the average range of nutritious, home-prepared food plans measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for adults ages 19 to 50. On average, student meal plans were 39-49% more expensive than USDA food plans, depending on the sex of the student. Considering this cost amid recent inflation trends, many financial experts recommend that students prepare their own meals to save money. However, meal plans are typically required for students living on campus, especially for freshmen. As a result, students and families may be budgeting based on outdated or impractical advice and could be blindsided by the true cost of attendance. 'Borrowers come to us with concerns about how to maximize long-term savings while financing their college education,' said Ivan Marcinko, ELFI senior vice president and director of operations. 'We hope that this study will help families understand that some college costs cannot be mitigated and encourage them to explore financing pathways that accommodate the high cost of college, including meal plans.' College costs are top of mind for many student loan borrowers considering the recently signed 'One Bill Big Beautiful Bill' Act, which included various reforms aimed at financial aid and student loan repayment. As grant limits, loan caps and other higher education lending reforms go into effect, students and families may need to make critical decisions about meeting the cost of college with a combination of federal aid, institutional assistance and private lending. For some students, institutional meal plan assistance programs, waivers or exceptions may be available. ELFI recommends that students contact their college or university to learn more about their options. ELFI is a division of Tennessee-based SouthEast Bank and offers nationwide student loans. Since launching in 2015, ELFI has offered a range of student loan and refinancing products and services backed by an award-winning team of student loan advisors who work one-to-one with borrowers through the application process from start to finish.
