# Enable Data Sharing with Verkada

## Share camera data with Verkada

Sharing your camera footage with Verkada develops and improves the analytics features across all Verkada cameras.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is an opt-in feature and is disabled by default. This toggle is separate from the Enable Support Access [toggle](https://help.verkada.com/command/need-help/enable-support-access). Opting in allows Verkada Engineering to collect, store, view, and annotate images and video, and to create derivative works, for model training. All data is collected from our Amazon Web Services (AWS) backend and not directly from your cameras. This feature **does not** allow Verkada Support to access your camera’s images and video.

**This setting only applies to sharing camera footage with Verkada for research and development, including model training of our computer vision features. It does not include other event types or system data.**
