The video event annotations or filenames described in the article sound like what you might get out of a company culture that allowed the previous behavior to go largely unpunished.


It was not clear to me if the Arizona prison (the customer) chose those filenames or Verkada did. I could see prison guards doing the same thing... archiving clips that they find entertaining and naming them inappropriately. Not defending Verkada, I just wish the article made the culprit more clear.


From a different article, seems like the staff

> Inside Arizona’s Graham County detention facility, which has 17 cameras, videos are given titles by the center’s staff and saved to a Verkada account.

My mistake. Would edit if possible.
