Verkada | BP52 Alarm Panel with 32 Wired Input Zones

Verkada BP52 Alarm Panel

Cloud-managed 32-zone alarm panel for wired and wireless Verkada alarm deployments, site monitoring, sensor management, and integrated emergency response.

The Verkada BP52 Alarm Panel acts as the central control point for a Verkada alarm system. Designed for commercial buildings, schools, offices, retail locations, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and multi-site organizations, the BP52 brings wired intrusion sensors, wireless sensors, keypads, expanders, sirens, strobes, and cloud-managed alarm workflows into one centralized platform.

With 32 wired input zones, the BP52 can replace many traditional alarm panels and take over existing wired sensors without requiring a complete rewiring of the building. It also includes a built-in VLink hub for up to 160 Verkada wireless sensors, making it useful for both retrofit installations and new Verkada alarm deployments. For larger sites, organizations can extend coverage using BE32 expanders, PoE hubs, keypads, and repeaters.

Key Features

• 32 Wired Input Zones: Supports wired intrusion sensors, allowing the BP52 to take over existing alarm wiring in many retrofit environments.
• Built-In VLink Hub: Connects up to 160 Verkada wireless sensors for flexible alarm coverage.
• Expandable Alarm Architecture: Larger sites can extend coverage with Verkada BE32 expanders, PoE hubs, keypads, and repeaters.
• 4 RS485 Outputs: Provides connectivity for keypads and expanders.
• 2 Relay Outputs: Supports connected devices such as sirens and strobes.
• Built-In PoE Switching: Includes a built-in 4-port PoE switch for hubs, keypads, and connected alarm infrastructure.
• Cloud-Managed in Verkada Command: Manage zones, partitions, sensor activity, alerts, firmware updates, and alarm workflows from the Command web or mobile app.
• Battery Backup Support: Includes built-in slots for Verkada VBX batteries, sold separately.
• LTE Backup Support: Can be paired with Verkada cellular backup to help keep the alarm system online during internet outages.
• Local Operation with Alarm Devices: The BP52 operates locally with expanders and keypads, which helps maintain site-level alarm functionality and allows one cellular backup device to support the alarm site.

Built for Modern Alarm Takeovers

The BP52 is especially useful when an organization wants to modernize its alarm system without throwing away every existing wired sensor. Many buildings already have door contacts, motion sensors, panic inputs, sirens, and other alarm wiring in place. The BP52 gives teams a way to bring that infrastructure into the Verkada ecosystem while adding cloud management, remote visibility, live and historical sensor activity, software-defined partitions, and centralized administration through Verkada Command.

This makes the BP52 a strong fit for alarm upgrades, multi-site standardization projects, and organizations moving away from older alarm panels that require more manual service and local-only administration.

Wired and Wireless Coverage in One Panel

The BP52 supports both wired and wireless alarm deployments. Its 32 input zones help support existing wired sensors, while the built-in VLink hub supports Verkada wireless sensors. That combination gives integrators and customers flexibility: reuse wiring where it makes sense, add wireless devices where cabling is difficult, and expand larger sites using compatible Verkada alarm accessories.

Cloud-Managed Alarm Operations

Like other Verkada products, the BP52 is managed through Verkada Command. Administrators can view live and historical sensor activity, access zone mapping, configure software-defined partitions, receive alerts for offline devices, and benefit from automatic firmware updates. The panel is also designed to integrate natively with other Verkada products, helping connect alarm activity with cameras, access control, and broader physical security workflows.
