Background
Wilshire Law Firm is a prominent personal injury law firm with offices nationwide. When they acquired a 14-story building in downtown Los Angeles to establish their West Coast headquarters, they needed enterprise-grade security protecting six floors of attorney offices, conference rooms, case file storage areas, and client meeting spaces. The multi-floor expansion demanded a sophisticated security infrastructure balancing client confidentiality, professional aesthetics, and operational flexibility.
Law firms face unique security challenges—protecting privileged attorney-client communications, securing sensitive case documents, managing visitor access, and maintaining detailed audit trails for liability protection. Traditional security systems with on-premise servers and fragmented access control couldn't deliver the unified visibility and compliance documentation required. Wilshire needed a modern, scalable solution managing multiple floors from a single platform while maintaining the professional appearance essential for client trust.
End-Point Wireless designed and deployed a comprehensive Verkada solution across floors 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14. The installation included 78 cloud-managed cameras providing complete visual coverage of hallways, reception areas, conference rooms, and common spaces, integrated with 26 access control readers securing critical entry points. By leveraging the building's pre-installed CAT6 cabling infrastructure, we streamlined deployment while the firm continued operations, installing controllers and power supplies in each floor's server room for centralized management without disrupting attorney workflows.
The Challenge
- No existing security infrastructure in newly acquired building—required complete system design and deployment across six separate floors
- Attorney-client privilege demanded discrete surveillance avoiding intrusion while protecting confidential meeting spaces
- Multiple entry points per floor created security gaps where unauthorized visitors could access case files and sensitive documents
- Professional appearance requirements meant security hardware needed seamless integration without industrial aesthetics
- Scalability concerns for future floor expansion without replacing entire infrastructure
- Need for comprehensive audit trails documenting facility access for liability protection and compliance
Why Verkada
End-Point Wireless recommended Verkada's integrated security platform for its ability to unify multi-floor camera surveillance and access control in a single professional-grade cloud environment. Law firms require discreet, reliable security delivering comprehensive audit trails without the complexity of managing on-premise servers or separate systems—capabilities traditional security vendors struggle to provide in professional office settings.
Verkada's sleek camera designs maintain the professional aesthetics essential for client-facing law offices while delivering enterprise-grade security. The hybrid cloud architecture stores footage onboard each camera with encrypted cloud backup, eliminating server rooms and IT overhead.
