# Connectivity

**Overview**\
Verkada Connectivity uses gateways to provide network and power to Verkada devices in locations where traditional wiring is difficult. Gateways support cellular or WiFi connections and can deliver PoE to connected devices, which makes it possible to place cameras and other Verkada hardware in remote or outdoor areas.

This collection provides guidance on choosing a gateway, installing it, configuring connectivity, and maintaining reliable operation. It helps you extend your Verkada deployment to sites that need flexible power and network options.
