Roles and Permissions for Cameras

Learn about the roles and permissions available for Verkada Cameras

Updated over a week ago

This article describes the set of roles and associated permissions for Verkada Cameras.

• Permissions are set using roles, which define the level of access users and groups have to devices and settings within an organization and its sites/subsites.

• User permissions specify what tasks users can perform and what features users can access in Command.

• Site-level permissions define what access a particular user or group has to the cameras within the site. Site-level permissions are configured using roles.

See Roles and Permissions for Command users for an in-depth explanation of the features and configurations available for overall Verkada Command usage and administration.

Org-level roles

Organization-level roles are configured on a per-user basis. Groups cannot be used to set organization-level roles.

Below, click the down arrow to the left of the role to learn more about the role and access.

Org Member

Org Admin

Verkada Cameras Troubleshooting 2024

Site-level roles

Site-level roles can be assigned to individual users or to groups and pertain to a specific site or subsite. Subsites inherit the permissions from the subsites and parent sites above them.

No Access

Site Live-Only Viewer

Site Viewer

Site Admin

CP52-E PTZ permissions

The CP52-E PTZ camera permissions determine who can manage the Sentry Mode feature.

• Org Admin/Site Admin: Full access to controls and features, including Sentry Mode.

• Site Viewer: Full access to controls, but limited features and settings access (cannot enable, disable, or edit Sentry Mode settings, but can view settings).

• Live-Only: No access to controls or Sentry Mode.

• No Access: No access.

Permissions model (example)

Here’s a simple example of a permissions model that a typical organization with several sites and users may employ:

Users and their required level of access

Roles and Permissions for Command

Learn about the roles and permissions available to Command users and groups

Updated over a week ago

This article describes the set of roles and associated permissions for Verkada Command. It also explains how to customize roles and permissions.

• Permissions are set using roles, which define the level of access users and groups have to devices and settings within an organization and its sites/subsites.

• User permissions specify what tasks users can perform and what features users can access in Command.

• Site-level permissions define what access a particular user or group has to the cameras within the site. Site-level permissions are configured using roles.

• Organization permissions pertain to user management (the ability to access an organization, invite users to an organization.

Note: Because organization, access control, and site permissions serve different purposes, they are separate. However, users need to have permissions set for these levels to have full use of Command.

Permission levels

Permissions are set at the following levels:

Level	Permissions
Organization	All users added to the organization have the ability to log in to the Command organization. Only those users designated as an Organization Admin (Org Admin) can invite/delete other users, create sites, and modify all permissions.
Site	Site-level permissions define what access a particular user or group has to the cameras within the site. Site-level permissions are configured using roles (see below).
Subsite	Subsite permissions are no different from site-level permissions. The only difference is that subsites inherit the permissions of the subsites and parent sites above them.
Roles	There are 4 levels of access that a user or group can have to a site or subsite: • Site Admin: Permits users to view cameras, add cameras, archive and share video, change camera settings, create and delete archived videos, take snapshots, and edit site permissions. • Site Viewer: Permits users to view cameras, create archived videos, and take snapshots. • Live-Only Viewer: Permits users to only view camera live streams (no access to historical video, archives, or live link sharing). • No Access: Users have no access to the site or subsite’s camera live feeds, historical video, or archives.

Permissions considerations

• Sites and subsites do not inherit permissions from the organization (being an Org Admin does not automatically make you a Site Admin).

• Subsites inherit permissions from all subsites (and the ultimate parent site) above them.

• A user can be assigned to multiple groups. If permissions conflict, the user is always granted the highest role granted to them directly, or to one of the groups to which they belong. For example, if a user is assigned to a group which assigns the role Site Viewer for a particular site, but is also assigned to a group which assigns the role Site Admin for that same site, the user will be granted Site Admin permissions for that site.

• Permissions can always be upgraded, but never downgraded. For example, if a user is assigned to a group that assigns the role Site Viewer for a particular site, that user may be manually upgraded to Site Admin for that site. However, this user cannot be downgraded to a Live-Only Viewer (or any role below Site Viewer). A user’s role can only be downgraded if they are removed from the group which assigns the highest level of access.

Common user permission configurations

Scenario	Configuration Requirement
View, archive, and take snapshots of footage.	• User must be added to the organization. • Site Viewer on appropriate sites or subsites.
View, archive, share, and take snapshots of footage and modify camera settings, and set other users’ permissions (globally).	• User must be added to the organization and made an Org Admin. • Site Admin on all appropriate sites or subsites.

FAQ

Why has my organization disappeared?

Why are cameras missing from my organization?

Why can’t I access certain features or settings, such as other users?

Resolve Issues with Missing Cameras

Learn how to resolve issues when cameras are missing from your Verkada account

Updated over a week ago

When you log in to Verkada Command, you can only access cameras and video in organizations or sites where your user account has permissions.

Note: Even if you are an Org Admin, you still need to grant yourself permission to view all sites. Learn more about roles and permissions for cameras and Command.

If you log in to Command and cameras are missing or have disappeared, always check user permissions. The most common reason cameras are not visible is that your user account needs permissions to the site(s) where the cameras are configured.

Common reasons that can cause cameras to disappear

• An admin has moved the cameras into an organization or site where your user account does not have permissions.

• An admin has removed your user account from the organization or site where the cameras are located.

In either case, contact your Org Admin and ask that they check your user permissions to the desired organization or site.

Check permissions

If you are an Org Admin, you can check and correct your own permissions:

1.In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Admin.

2.Under Org Settings, select Users.

3.Select your email. Your user email should then be redirected to a list of the sites in your organization with your relevant permissions appear.

4.Click Manage Roles.

5.Next to each relevant site, set the correct permissions.

Resolve Issues with Night Mode

Common issues with IR and Night Mode with steps to resolve them

Updated over a week ago

Each Verkada camera has night vision capabilities, using a sensor to detect low-light situations. When external lighting is low, the camera switches to night mode and records in black and white, using infrared (IR) LEDs to illuminate the environment. If the IR is emitted improperly through the dome or reflected into the lens, it negatively impacts image quality.

Common night mode issues

It is imperative that the dome remain free of debris and the camera is installed properly to achieve the best image quality. When viewing footage in night mode if the footage appears obscured it is most likely the result of one of the following scenarios:

• External occlusion

• Internal reflection

• Dust or debris on the dome

• Fingerprints on the dome

• Condensation/moisture/foggy

If you run into any of these scenarios the camera lens and dome will need to be cleaned. See Clean Your Verkada Dome Camera for more information.

Camera always in night mode

If your camera is always in night mode even where there is sufficient light in the environment the lux (light) value may need to be adjusted. If this is the case, reach out to Verkada Support for further assistance.

Environmental obstruction

If the camera is mounted too close to a wall, ledge, or light source, the image quality may be degraded due to IR reflection.

Recommendation. Ensure that cameras are mounted sufficiently far away from surfaces that may cause the IRs to reflect, such as light sources.

IR obstruction

If a first-generation Dome camera (D30 or D50) is operating in night mode when there is plenty of light, the IR sensor is likely obstructed by the camera housing.

To fix the obstructed light sensor, physically rotate the lens barrel assembly 180° so the sensor and IRs are visible through the camera case.

Example: Proper and improper orientation

Note: After rotating the lens barrel, the camera orientation may need to be changed in Command.

• UDP Ports: 53, 123, 3478, 3479, 6000, 9000-9003, 47833 and 49152-65535.

If your network firewall or router only allows connections to specific ports, please ensure that the ports listed above are not blocked from inside to outside; otherwise, this could cause issues when the NVR/Camera tries to connect to the VIVOCloud server. Below is a list of possible situations you might encounter if the ports are not properly opened.

Situation 1. Cannot enable the VIVOCloud service in the NVR

If port 1194 is not opened, the VIVOCloud service on the NVR will display an yellow ‘!’ icon.

Situation 2. Portal connection issues with NVR

If the port 3478 is not opened, VIVOCloud portal will show the device as “Connecting”.

Situation 3. Slow video connection

If the other ports are not opened, you may not see an image on VIVOCloud, or the image may load slowly.

Ensuring that the necessary ports are not blocked by your network’s firewall or router is crucial for establishing a successful connection between your NVR/Camera and the VIVOCloud server. By following the guidelines above and verifying that these specific ports are accessible, you can facilitate a smooth and efficient operation of your VIVOCloud devices.

Troubleshooting audio noise

Echo, feedback, or sudden repeated squeal noises

When the camera picks up sounds coming from the Blink app and transmits them back to the Blink app, “feedback” is created. Feedback is a repeating sound that increases in pitch and volume. It can occur when you have the Live View of a camera open in the Blink app and you are within hearing range of the camera.

• To avoid feedback, ensure that your mobile device accessing the Blink app is at least 10 feet away from your Blink camera.

• To stop existing feedback or unwanted noise, tap the Mute icon to silence the camera’s speaker. You can also stop the Live View session or switch out of the Blink app entirely.

Chirping, digital noise, or robotic sounds

Blink cameras convert audio into a digital stream so it can be heard for Live Views and recorded clips. During this conversion, extra sounds can sometimes be heard. These sounds may sound like a cluster of noises, scrambled distortion, chirps, or clicks when accessing a Live View or playing back a recorded clip.

The upload speed of your network plays an important part of your digital stream. When network speeds change quickly, your audio may be distorted. Blink devices require at least 2 Mb per second of available upload speed for each Blink device, even when multiple users are online.

Placement of your Blink devices

Device placement recommendations

Placing your camera near hard surfaces may produce unwanted sounds. Because a hard surface reflects sound, the camera microphone may pick up both the original sound and the reflected sound.

Placing the camera on an enclosed shelf or wall, or set back from a table’s edge near or between other objects may create a boxed-in environment that can affect the audio quality of the camera’s microphone and speaker.

For ideal placement, avoid placing your cameras near dense materials like brick, stone, concrete, or metals. Also, avoid placement near other electronic devices and confined spaces.
