# Camera Stats

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

* Camera uptime
* Cloud backup
* Bandwidth consumption
* Data usage
* Motion activity

***

## Monitor camera stats

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select a camera to view its live camera stream and to check camera stats.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**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.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
The default timeline is 7 days. You can extend it to 30 days to view extended data trends.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Camera uptime

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

* **Blue bars -** camera is powered on, recording, and connected to the Verkada servers
* **Light red bars** - camera is powered on, recording, but not connected to Verkada servers
* **Dark 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

{% hint style="warning" %}
This graph will start populating detailed data in the calendar view from July 3, 2025 UTC onwards.
{% endhint %}

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 upload speed
* A detailed calendar view showing:
  * **Light blue bars** - data successfully backed up from the previous or next 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.
