# Enable Wi-Fi on Select Verkada Cameras

To enable and use Wi-Fi on Verkada cameras, there a few **requirements** to follow:

* The camera model must be one of these models: [CD61](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cd61-datasheet.pdf), [CD61-E](https://www.verkada.com/security-cameras/dome/cd61-e/), [CB61-E](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-bullet-series-quick-start-guide.pdf), [CB61-TE](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-bullet-series-quick-start-guide.pdf), [CM61](https://docs.verkada.com/docs/video-security-cm61-datasheet.pdf), or D50W.
* Wi-Fi must be enabled at the organization level. Contact [Verkada Support](https://www.verkada.com/support/) with [support token](/command/need-help/contact-verkada-support/enable-support-access.md) to enable Wi-Fi.
* The camera must be connected to an Ethernet network and must be online to receive the Wi-Fi configuration.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is possible to enable Wi-Fi and configure your Service Set ID (SSID) and password if the device is offline, but it needs to connect to a wired network to pull this new configuration.

If the SSID or password changes for the Wi-Fi network, you **must** preconfigure the new Wi-Fi network on the camera or use a wired network to reconfigure the camera. If the camera is offline, it will not pull a new wireless configuration.
{% endhint %}
