Overview
The Verkada QX61 bridges an RS-485 port on a Verkada alarm panel to a Better Sensor Protocol (BSP) addressable sensor run, so a panel without native BSP ports can use BSP sensors. It is supported on the BP52 and the BP42. Any BSP device — QX51 sensor adapters and BSP motion sensors such as the QM11-R — can be connected downstream of a QX61, and the panel auto-discovers every device on the run and lists it in the correct order in Verkada Command.

- Up to 200 door sensors or up to 50 powered motion sensors on a single run
