The Verkada NP21 is a two-channel network audio player that connects existing third-party amplifiers and speakers to Verkada Command, bringing cloud management to audio hardware already in place. Powered by a single PoE+ connection or an AC outlet, it installs on a tabletop out of the box or in a rack with the optional ACC-N-MNT-HRACK kit. Once online, administrators broadcast instant announcements to targeted zones and stream commercially licensed background music through the Soundtrack integration — all from the Command dashboard. To power speakers, the NP21 must be connected to an amplifier.
