Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Verkada Cellular Gateway License and what does it cover?
The Verkada Cellular Gateway License (LIC-GC-3Y-RNW) is a 3-year renewal license that enables cellular connectivity for Verkada's surveillance systems, allowing cameras and devices to transmit data over cellular networks when primary internet connectivity is unavailable. This license renewal ensures continuous cellular gateway functionality for your Verkada security infrastructure. We offer multiple term options—1-year, 3-year, and 5-year licenses—to match your deployment timeline and budget requirements.
What is the difference between standard and government Cellular Gateway licenses?
Verkada offers both standard Cellular Gateway licenses and government-specific versions (marked with -G suffix, such as LIC-GC-3Y-RNW-G). The government licenses are designed to meet federal compliance requirements and include unlimited data for non-video Verkada devices, making them suitable for government agencies and public sector deployments. Contact us today to determine which license type is appropriate for your organization's security and compliance needs.
Do I need separate licenses for Cellular Gateway data plans versus the gateway itself?
Yes, Verkada offers two distinct license types: the Cellular Gateway License (LIC-GC-3Y-RNW) for gateway connectivity, and Cellular Gateway Data Plans (LIC-GC-1VD-3Y-RNW) that include unlimited data for specific video devices. The data plan licenses specify the number of Verkada video devices covered—for example, the 1VD variants support one video device with unlimited data. We recommend reviewing your deployment configuration to ensure you have the appropriate combination of licenses for your security system.
What connectivity options does the Verkada Cellular Gateway provide?
The Verkada Cellular Gateway enables cellular connectivity as a backup or primary connection method for your surveillance cameras and security devices, ensuring continuous operation even when traditional internet connectivity fails. This is particularly valuable for remote locations, temporary deployments, or facilities requiring redundant connectivity paths. The gateway integrates seamlessly with Verkada's cloud-based security platform for centralized management and monitoring.
Can I upgrade from a 1-year to a 3-year Cellular Gateway license?
Yes, Verkada licenses are available in flexible term lengths: 1-year (LIC-GC-1Y-RNW at $299), 3-year (LIC-GC-3Y-RNW at $849), and 5-year options. You can renew or upgrade your license term when your current subscription expires by selecting the appropriate renewal SKU. Contact us today to discuss license renewal options that align with your security budget and operational timeline.
Are Verkada Cellular Gateway licenses compatible with all Verkada camera models?
Verkada Cellular Gateway licenses work with Verkada's video surveillance devices and non-video security devices that support cellular connectivity. The specific compatibility depends on your camera model and whether you need standard or data-inclusive licensing—data plan licenses (1VD, 3VD variants) specify the number of video devices supported. We recommend verifying your specific camera models with our team to ensure you select the correct license configuration for your deployment.
