Where Visylix stands apart
The most important differences between Visylix and Verkada that impact your deployment, costs, and capabilities.
Works With Any Camera
Verkada requires you to purchase Verkada branded cameras. If you already have IP cameras from Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, or any ONVIF compatible manufacturer, you cannot use them with Verkada. Visylix works with any IP camera, protecting your existing hardware investment and giving you freedom to choose cameras based on your needs.
On Premise Deployment for Data Sovereignty
Verkada is a cloud only platform, meaning all your video data is stored on Verkada servers. For organizations in government, healthcare, banking, or any industry with strict data residency requirements, this can be a compliance concern. Visylix supports full on premise deployment, keeping all data within your own infrastructure.
Dramatically Lower Cost of Ownership
Verkada charges between $199 and $1,799 per camera per year, and you must also purchase their proprietary cameras. Visylix pricing starts at $49 per month for your entire deployment, and works with cameras you already own. For a 100 camera deployment, the cost difference over 5 years can exceed $500,000.
No Mandatory Cloud Dependency
Verkada requires a constant internet connection and cloud access for full functionality. If your connection goes down, you lose access to live feeds and recorded footage. Visylix operates fully on premise when needed, ensuring your surveillance system remains operational regardless of internet connectivity.
