Verkada WH32 Fire & Intrusion Detectors Repeater/Hub, 160 sensors, 1200 mAh, 24 hours backup, 10-36V DC, 300 ft range

The Verkada Alarm (WH32 series) is a compact, cloud-enabled wireless repeater and hub designed for fire and intrusion detector ecosystems in commercial, education, retail and warehouse environments. Engineered to restore and extend VLink sub‑GHz coverage where cabling is impractical or signal strength is degraded, it operates either as a VLink repeater or as an RS‑485 hub to integrate with existing wired infrastructure. The unit provides local continuity with an internal 1200 mAh backup battery for up to 24 hours of typical use, tamper detection, and a low‑profile enclosure that simplifies wall or ceiling deployments, helping security teams maintain reliable sensor connectivity and reduce installation complexity across multi‑site deployments.

Key Features

• Dual operation: Functions as a VLink sub‑GHz repeater or as an RS‑485 hub, giving flexible deployment options for both wireless extension and wired integrations.
• Coverage extension: Extends wireless range to close coverage gaps in challenging environments, supporting open‑field VLink reach up to the specified line‑of‑sight distance.
• Backup continuity: Built‑in 1200 mAh battery provides up to 24 hours of backup during power outages to help maintain alarm availability.
• Compact, install‑ready design: Low‑profile 5.5 x 5.5 x 1.3 in enclosure with included mount plate and security hardware for clean wall or ceiling installation.
• Enterprise readiness: Tamper detection, industry certifications, and support for up to 160 sensors in hub mode enable scalable, reliable alarm deployments.
