# Verkada Data Plan
The Verkada data plan uses the Verkada SIM card pre-inserted in every cellular gateway and works out of the box in many countries worldwide. The plan offers unlimited data (no throttling) for Verkada devices, multi-carrier redundancy, and 24/7 support. You can also [bring your own data plan](/connectivity/cellular-data-options/bring-your-own-data-plan.md).
***
## Supported devices
### Verkada video devices
To get data for Verkada video devices (cameras and intercoms), you must purchase a data license per device connected to the GC31. For specifics on data license pricing, see the Gateway [datasheet](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/gc31-cellular-gateway-datasheet.pdf#page=10).
{% hint style="warning" %}
The Multisensor camera models (CH52-E/CH53/63-E) need four data licenses, and the CY53-E needs two data licenses. One for each camera head.
{% endhint %}
You can link and unlink your data licenses to particular devices connected to the GC31 through the data licensing page on your Verkada Command platform. Any video device connected to a gateway will be automatically linked to an available license.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Cloud backup and RTSP are disabled on cameras that use the Verkada data plan. Customers can enable these features if they bring their own data plan.
{% endhint %}
### Verkada non-video devices
Other Verkada products, such as access controllers, sensors, and alarm devices, do not require a data license. As long as the gateway has a valid cloud license, the Verkada SIM will provide unlimited data for Verkada non-video devices.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Video streaming is disabled on BK11/21 Alarm Keypads and BC82 Alarm Consoles that use the Verkada data plan. Customers can enable video streaming if they bring their own data plan.
{% endhint %}
### Third-party devices
While the Verkada data plan is meant for Verkada devices, we provide a small amount of data for third-party devices connected to the gateway. The Verkada SIM will provide 1GB/month of data total for third-party devices as long as the gateway has a valid cloud license. If the gateway is using a customer-provided SIM, third-party devices are not subject to any limits.
{% hint style="warning" %}
VX52 Viewing Stations and iPads running Verkada Guest or Desk Station apps are classified as third-party devices as they run on Apple devices.
{% endhint %}
