All indoor Verkada cameras use industry-standard 802.3af PoE.

Most outdoor Verkada camera models require the higher-power 802.3at PoE+ standard for the built-in cold-weather climate heater at temperatures below -4 ºF (-20 ºC).

If you are using an outdoor Verkada camera in a cold-weather climate and require the built-in heater, you need a PoE injector or switch that supports the higher-power 802.3at PoE+ standard.

The switch port must be configured as an access port, and all cameras will negotiate at full-duplex (all models have 10/100Mbps NICs, with the exception of D80 and CF81, which have 10/100/1000).

Always make sure the PoE budget on the switch is not exceeded. If it is, the camera will not power on or will be stuck with a constant Orange LED light.

If PoE is not available on your Ethernet switch, we recommend ordering additional PoE injectors and inserting them between the camera and the switch.

For existing deployments using coaxial cable, it might not be feasible to re-cable with Ethernet, and in that case, we recommend using converters.
