# Loss of Network Connection for Cameras

Verkada cameras continue to record and save the video without a network connection as long as there is a power source. You can be assured the camera is recording as long as the device’s LED is blinking blue, whether exclusively blue or with 1 to 8 orange blinks in between.

If you only see orange blinks (and no blue), your camera is likely not recording. The assumption is that it’s likely upgrading, which involves a reboot. During that reboot, the camera cannot record.

Learn more about the different [LED status](/verkada-cameras/installation/camera-led-status-indicators.md) colors.

## Check your network configuration

If your camera continues to **blink blue** and you have on-site internet access, check that your network meets our required [configuration](/verkada-cameras/configuration/camera-network-settings.md).

Once the camera is reconnected, it begins syncing its footage from the outage, and the video may take some time to become accessible.
