Campus Door Access Upgrade – Action Required for Continued Access
As part of a campus-wide infrastructure upgrade, we are replacing our current door access system with Verkada (verkada.com), a modern, cloud-based platform that supports both card-based and mobile device access.
What’s Changing?
- Improved system support and reliability
- Integrated video and access security
- Mobile unlocking via smartphone
- Simplified access management
- Lower operating and licensing costs
CALL TO ACTION:
Required: Card Upgrade
The new system uses MiFare technology, which may need to be added to your employee card. Please follow these instructions to have your card upgraded: https://www.kings.uwo.ca/its/verkada/id-card-door-access/
Optional: Mobile Access via Verkada Pass
You can optionally use your smartphone instead of a physical card. If you are interested, please follow these instructions to install Verkada Pass: https://www.kings.uwo.ca/its/verkada/verkada-pass-door-access/
TIMELINE:
- May–July 2025: Phased deployment of new readers and onboarding
- August 2025: Campus-wide go-live of the new access system
Your physical keycard will continue to work during the transition. If your card stops working at an updated door before it’s upgraded, please contact security or visit ITS for the upgrade.
