Case Study: Cumberland University modernizes blue light stations with Verkada for faster, more reliable campus emergency response

Cumberland University - Customer Case Study

Cumberland University, a historic liberal arts institution in Lebanon, Tennessee, needed to modernize its aging blue light emergency stations after its legacy ATA and phone system became unreliable and difficult to repair. With the original manufacturer out of business, the university lacked modern capabilities like video context, failover routing, and proactive health monitoring.

Using Verkada intercoms and multisensor cameras, Cumberland retrofitted blue light stations across campus into smarter security hubs with instant video visibility, automatic failover call routing, and remote health monitoring. Verkada helped the university achieve faster response times, reduced maintenance through remote testing and alerts, expanded visibility into blind spots, and more reliable emergency calling to support its zero-incident safety record.
