Cable Gland Assembly

To seal the Ethernet cable:

1. Disassemble the cable gland and feed the Ethernet cable through the baseplate through-hole.
2. Place the rubber seal around the cable.
3. Push the plastic collar firmly over the rubber seal until it snaps into position.
4. Place the metal nut over the rubber seal and engage the threads on the pass-through. Gently tighten down the metal nut by hand. You should still be able to move the cable back and forth through the gland, but have enough resistance for it to remain in place.

Assembly

Keep the protective film adhered to the clear bubble until completing the final step of installation.

1. Unscrew the 3 Torx security screws on the top cover. Remove and set aside, taking caution not to scratch the clear bubble.
2. Gently lift the clear bubble off of the camera body. There will be a small amount of resistance due to the magnetic attachment system.
3. Insert the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
4. Connect the camera to an 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet port on your network. An orange LED on the camera's Ethernet port will indicate it is powered and booting up. A green LED on the Ethernet port will indicate the camera is active.
5. Scan the QR code on the camera base for easy registration and setup, or visit verkada.com/start for manual registration.

Mounting

1. Mount the camera on a wall or ceiling, ideally 8 to 10 feet above the ground.
2. For best night vision, avoid overhangs or obstructions that might reflect the camera's IR illumination.
3. Use the provided T10 security Torx screwdriver to loosen screws and lift the cover. To remove the mount plate, loosen the mount plate screws and twist the camera counter-clockwise. Lift the camera vertically off the base plate and set aside.
4. Use the provided mounting template to mark wall mount holes. For a junction box mount, use the template to determine the correct hole pattern.
5. For solid materials (wood, metal), drill 1/8 inch pilot holes and drive mounting screws directly into them.
6. For drywall, drill 1/4 inch holes, insert plastic anchors, and drive mounting screws into the anchors.
7. To secure the camera, place it over the mount plate screws and twist counter-clockwise. Tighten the mount plate screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

Securing the Top Cover

1. Align the top cover to the security holes on the baseplate.
2. Tighten the 3 Torx security screws using the provided T10 Security Torx screwdriver.
3. Ensure the clear bubble is properly seated before tightening.
4. Remove the plastic film from the clear bubble after top cover installation is complete.

Adjusting the Camera

• Adjust your camera to the desired viewing angle. Use the online stream to confirm image orientation.
• The image can be flipped 180° online in Command.
• Video orientation is also adjustable within the Verkada application.
• Caution: Pulling the Ethernet cable too tight will strain the cable, potentially impacting data performance. Too much slack may create top cover installation issues.

Desiccant Installation

1. Open and remove the desiccant pack from its outer pouch.
2. Peel the backing from the double-sided tape on the desiccant pack.
3. Place the pack directly onto the "Attach desiccant here" text on the interior camera shell.

Grounding

To attach the green-yellow grounding cable to the camera:

1. Align a 20AWG or larger grounding cable with a ring terminal. Drive an M4-0.7 x 6mm screw (not included) through the terminal and into the threaded grounding point on the back of the device.
2. Attach the other terminal of the grounding cable directly to a circuit breaker, ground rod, or earth ground.

This unit is powered by PoE through a UL Listed ITE.
