# Enable Wi-Fi on Select Verkada Cameras

Enable and use 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 %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.verkada.com/verkada-cameras/configuration/camera-network-settings/enable-wi-fi-on-select-verkada-cameras.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
