Change the Map Location of a Camera

Learn how to change the map location of a camera

Updated over a week ago

When you change a Verkada camera's location, you can expect the following:

  • It affects the camera's position on the map and its time zone.

  • The camera is removed from any floor plans where it is currently located.

Note: When you change a camera's location to certain jurisdictions, it may limit the people analytics features of the camera (for example, gender search, face detection, and person of interest).
