Camera Stats

Check device analytics and understand your camera's performance

Updated over a week ago

You can use camera stats to check trends of these features over a period of time:

  • Camera online and uptime

  • Cloud backup

  • Bandwidth consumption

  • Data usage

  • Motion activity


Monitor camera stats

  1. In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras .

  2. Select a camera to view its live camera stream and to check camera stats.

  3. Under the live feed, select Analytics > Camera Stats. The default timeline is 7 days, but you can change it to last 30 days to see stats over a longer period.

The default timeline is 7 days. You can extend it to 30 days to view extended data trends.


Camera online & uptime

This graph shows the camera's connectivity to the Verkada cloud and camera uptime status over a period of time.

  • Blue bars - camera is powered on, recording, and connected to the Verkada servers

  • Striped bars - camera is powered on, recording, but not connected to Verkada servers

  • Red bars - camera is not powered and not recording

In most cases, uptime and online status align. If they don't, it may signal a local network issue (the camera is powered but unable to reach the cloud).

Hover over the timeline to view specific timestamps and outage durations.


Cloud backup

This feature will launch shortly after the stats page redesign.

This section shows a detailed view of your camera's cloud backup progress, including:

  • Days of footage successfully backed up in the cloud​

  • Amount of data pending upload

  • Current average backup speed

  • Estimated time remaining to complete backup

  • A detailed calendar view showing:

    • Light blue bars - data successfully backed up from the previous month

    • Dark blue bars - data successfully backed up from the selected month

    • Striped bars - data not available in the cloud (likely due to the camera being offline & not recording)

    • Red bars - data pending upload


Bandwidth

Track upload and download bandwidth speeds (in Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps) over time.

  • Traffic in indicates the camera download bitrate. Firmware downloads, configuration changes, and cloud-sent commands (such as a reboot request) contribute to the download bitrate.

  • Traffic out indicates the camera upload bitrate. Thumbnails, metadata, streams, archives, and cloud backup contribute to the upload bitrate.


Data Usage

This graph shows total data transferred (in KB, MB, or GB) over a period of time.

  • Data in indicates the amount of data downloaded by the device. Firmware downloads, configuration changes, and cloud-sent commands (such as a reboot request) contribute to this.

  • Data out indicates the amount of data uploaded by the device. Thumbnails, metadata, streams, archives, and cloud backup contribute to this.


Motion Activity

The Motion timeline shows the volume of motion detected in the frame over a period of time. You can move your cursor over the timeline and see the stats associated with the motion.
