Verkada Commercial Camera Installation

Altora Security installs Verkada commercial cameras, PoE cabling and network infrastructure with coverage planning and multi-site management handoff.

What makes a Verkada project different?

Verkada cameras combine on-device recording with cloud-based management in Command. Altora scopes camera coverage, connectivity, licensing and administrative ownership together.

  • Select models and retention capacity for the actual facility.
  • Plan remote access and multi-site roles without shared administrator accounts.
  • Confirm software licenses and recurring costs in the quote.

What does Altora install?

Altora installs the physical camera and PoE infrastructure needed for reliable commercial surveillance, from cable routes to final image verification.

  • Assess entrances, loading areas, parking, interior circulation and sensitive spaces.
  • Install and label structured cabling, mounts and properly sized PoE switches.
  • Review uplink capacity, firewall requirements and power backup.

How are enterprise sites handed over?

A multi-site project needs clear organization ownership, permissions and retention policy. Altora commissions each location against the agreed coverage plan.

  • Claim devices into the customer’s authorized Command organization.
  • Test day/night views and export/retrieval workflows.
  • Document device locations, account access and operational responsibilities.
Practical Answers

Verkada Camera Installation FAQs

Do Verkada cameras need software licenses?

Yes. Device licensing and the applicable term must be included in planning. Review current Verkada licensing requirements and renewal responsibilities before ordering.

Are all recordings stored only in the cloud?

No. Verkada cameras use on-device storage with cloud management and model/plan-dependent cloud features. Recording and retrieval behavior should be verified for the selected configuration.

Can multiple facilities be managed together?

Yes. Command supports multi-site management. Altora helps define organization structure, site permissions and installation standards for the customer’s portfolio.

Can I reuse existing cabling?

Suitable tested cabling may be retained. Altora checks cable condition, distance, termination, PoE capacity and network connectivity before relying on it.
