User freedom/Business model

Verkada cameras are designed to be used with their cloud management web interface called Verkada Command and are not natively configured to use open and standard streaming protocols. To use or configure these products you must purchase valid Verkada annual licensing for each individual device. If your Verkada licensing becomes expired, hardware function and software access to the devices will be revoked. You will no longer be able to use or configure existing devices until licensing is restored.

"Customer must purchase one or more Licenses to use the Software for at least the number and type of Hardware units, Supported Third Party Devices, and/or Product Features that the Customer manages by means of the Software (collectively, “'''Valid Licensing'''”)... If Customer does not maintain Valid Licensing, then (i) Customer will have limited or no access to Customer Data, Product Features, and the Software, and (ii) the Hardware will not function as designed.

Verkada owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Software and the System Data, and owns all intellectual property embodied in the Hardware and accessories."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Verkada End User Agreement |url=https://legal.verkada.com/#eua |access-date=28 May 2025 |website=https://legal.verkada.com/#eua}}</ref>
