Case Study: City of Burnside modernizes security and speeds investigations with Verkada

How a City Council Modernized Security with a Unified, Cloud-Based CCTV System

The City of Burnside, South Australia, needed to replace a fragmented legacy CCTV environment made up of incompatible and outdated cameras and recorders. Maintenance was cumbersome, and staff often had to manually search through hours of footage, slowing investigations and limiting remote monitoring. Verkada’s cloud-managed security platform, including Command and cameras, offered a modern alternative.

Verkada implemented a unified, cloud-based CCTV system across Burnside’s council facilities, with centralized management, automatic updates, advanced video search, and single sign-on integration. The result was faster investigations, stronger coverage across all sites, and improved operational efficiency, saving the council an average of 3 days per month. Staff can now access live and recorded video remotely and locate footage in minutes instead of hours.
