Enhance Safety and Reduce Shrinkage With Forklift Cameras
Unlock cloud-based video monitoring on forklifts and heavy equipment fleets with Verkada cameras connected to Wi-Fi or LTE. Access all cameras remotely on a single dashboard, making it easy to monitor assets and conduct video investigations from anywhere.
Why Verkada for Forklifts
Enhance safety, visibility, and accountability by deploying Verkada cameras on forklifts and industrial vehicles. With real-time monitoring, AI-powered search, and remote access through the Verkada Command platform, teams can quickly identify incidents, analyze behavior, and make data-driven decisions to improve safety and efficiency.
The Command platform acts as a centralized dashboard to monitor all cameras across the fleet, offering proactive alerts, intuitive search filters, and seamless footage retrieval in seconds. Paired with purpose-built Verkada gateways for connectivity, this becomes a true all-in-one solution – no complex networking, NVRs, or third-party tools needed.
Key Benefits
Enhanced Workplace Safety
Reduce the risk of severe forklift accidents by monitoring activity in real time and reviewing incidents after the fact.
Loss and Shrinkage Prevention
Increase visibility of high-value freight to prevent accidents, deter theft, and minimize inventory loss.
Improved Operational Oversight
Monitor operator behavior and equipment usage to identify areas for process improvement and enforce compliance with safety protocols.
Training and Performance Optimization
Use recorded footage to support internal training initiatives, reinforce best practices, and provide coaching opportunities based on real-world examples.
Key Deployment Considerations
Data Availability
Your facility must be within cellular coverage or have existing Wi-Fi infrastructure to provide a reliable data connection to the Verkada system.
Power Availability
The Verkada system requires a power source that can remain mobile with the forklift. Power can be sourced from the forklift's onboard batteries, following the best practices of the equipment manufacturer.
Solution Architecture
The Verkada system for forklifts connects vehicle batteries to Verkada cameras via a Verkada Gateway. This setup utilizes Wi-Fi or Cellular connectivity for data transmission.
Diagram Description: A system architecture diagram illustrates the flow. A "Vehicle Battery" is connected to a "Verkada Gateway" using a "DC input". The "Verkada Gateway" then provides "PoE output" to two "Verkada Cameras". The overall connectivity is labeled "Wi-Fi or Cellular". This system is designed for "Heavy Machinery".
Hardware Requirements
- Power source (12-48VDC peak)
- DC 2-wire copper conductor wires
- Verkada cameras (fisheye and/or mini dome recommended)
- Verkada cellular or Wi-Fi gateway
- Mountable surfaces for Verkada devices
- Ethernet cables
