Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Business Vocera Communications, Inc. (the “Company” or "Vocera") is a provider of secure, integrated, intelligent communication solutions, focused on empowering mobile workers in healthcare, hospitality, energy, and other mission-critical mobile work environments, in the United States and internationally. The significant majority of the Company's business is currently generated from sales of its solutions in the healthcare market to help its customers improve patient safety and experience and increase operational efficiency. The Vocera Communication System, which includes an intelligent enterprise software platform, a lightweight, wearable, voice-controlled communication badge, and smartphone applications, enables users to connect instantly with other staff simply by saying the name, function or group name of the desired recipient. It also securely delivers text messages and alerts directly to and from smartphones, replacing legacy pagers. Other software applications help improve care coordination, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and include the accounts of Vocera and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim consolidated financial information. The results for the quarter presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other interim period or any other future year. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent in all material respects with those presented in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, excess and obsolete inventory charges, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation expense, provisions for income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from the sales of communication badges, perpetual software licenses for software that is essential to the functionality of the communication badges, smartphones, software maintenance, extended product warranty and professional services. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of licenses for software that is not essential to the functionality of the communication badges and certain hosted software subscriptions. The Company's revenue recognition policy has not changed from that described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Transfer of sales-type leases to third-parties Proceeds from transfers of sales-type leases to third-party financial companies are allocated between the net investment in sales-type leases and the executory cost component for remaining service obligations based on relative present value. The difference between the amount of proceeds allocated to the net investment in lease and the carrying value of the net investment in lease is included in product revenue. Proceeds allocated to the executory cost component are accounted for as financing liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company transferred $3.3 million and $1.4 million , respectively, of lease receivables in non-recourse sales to third-party financial companies, with immaterial net gains (losses). For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company recorded $1.5 million and $0.8 million , respectively, of financing liabilities for future performance of executory service obligations. For lease receivables retained as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company recorded $1.2 million and $1.5 million of net investment in sales-type leases, respectively, equivalent to the minimum lease payments less the unearned interest portion. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) together with the International Accounting Standards Board issued converged guidance for revenue recognition that will replace most existing guidance, eliminate industry-specific guidance and provide a unified model for determining how and when revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will also introduce additional disclosures, changes in asset and liability accounting, and changes in gain/loss recognition for asset transfers unrelated to customer transactions. In July 2015 the FASB affirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard. The Company’s effective date for this standard will be the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Two methods of transition are provided: a full retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients allowed, and a cumulative effect method, with balance sheet adjustment as of January 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the future effect of the standard on its financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB amended lease accounting requirements to begin recording assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. This new guidance will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the future effect of the standard on its financial position or results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for stock-based payment award transactions. The guidance is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for credit losses on instruments for both financial services and non-financial services entities. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are carried at their fair values with any differences from their amortized cost recorded in equity as unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities. As a basis for determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value instruments and no transfers in or out of Level 3. The Company's money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 fixed income securities are obtained from independent pricing services, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model-driven valuations using observable market data or other inputs corroborated by observable market data. The Company does not have any financial instruments which are valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , are summarized as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets Money market funds $ 18,266 $ — $ 18,266 $ 7,532 $ — $ 7,532 Commercial paper 3,125 3,125 — — — U.S. government agency securities 9,850 9,850 — 13,009 13,009 U.S. Treasury securities — 5,404 5,404 — 5,843 5,843 Corporate debt securities 68,980 68,980 1,152 77,350 78,502 Total assets measured at fair value $ 18,266 $ 87,359 $ 105,625 $ 8,684 $ 96,202 $ 104,886 The Company had no liabilities as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The unrealized losses for the short-term investments have all been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The Company’s conclusion of no “other than temporary impairment” is based on the high credit quality of the securities, their short remaining maturity and the Company’s intent and ability to hold such loss securities until maturity.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had $10.0 million and $10.0 million of goodwill, respectively, allocated to the Company's Product operating segment. As of September 30, 2016 , there were no changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangibles may not be recoverable. Intangible Assets Acquisition-related intangible assets are amortized either straight-line, or over the life of the assets on a basis that resembles the economic benefit of the assets. This yields amortization in the latter case that is higher in earlier periods of the useful life. The estimated useful lives and carrying value of acquired intangible assets are as follows: September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 (in thousands) Range of Useful Life (years) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Developed technology 4 to 7 $ 3,650 $ 2,391 $ 1,259 $ 3,650 $ 2,094 $ 1,556 Customer relationships 7 to 9 2,520 2,062 458 2,520 1,934 586 Non-compete agreements 2 to 4 460 373 87 460 258 202 Trademarks 4 to 7 110 89 21 110 79 31 Intangible assets, net book value $ 6,740 $ 4,915 $ 1,825 $ 6,740 $ 4,365 $ 2,375 Amortization expense was $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Amortization expense was $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is reflected in the cost of revenue or operating expenses, depending on the nature of the intangible asset. The estimated future amortization of existing acquired intangible assets as of September 30, 2016 was as follows: (in thousands) Future amortization 2016 (three months remaining) $ 169 2017 551 2018 441 2019 386 2020 201 2021 77 Future amortization expense $ 1,825

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	Commitments and Contingencies Non-cancelable Material Commitments The Company is required to purchase unused, non-cancelable, non-returnable raw material inventory that was purchased by its contract manufacturers based on committed finished goods orders from the Company, certain long lead-time raw materials based on the Company’s forecast and current work-in-progress materials. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , approximately $6.5 million and $7.8 million , respectively, of such inventory was purchased and held by the third-party manufacturers which was subject to these purchase guarantees. Leases The Company leases office space for its headquarters and subsidiaries under non-cancelable operating leases, which will expire between December 2016 and March 2022. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Facilities rent expense was $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Facilities rent expense was $1.8 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Future minimum lease payments at September 30, 2016 under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows: (in thousands) Operating leases 2016 (remaining three months) $ 490 2017 1,911 2018 1,727 2019 1,601 2020 1,549 2021 1,595 Thereafter 402 Total minimum lease payments $ 9,275 Indemnifications The Company undertakes, in the ordinary course of business, to (i) defend customers and other parties from certain third-party claims associated with allegations of trade secret misappropriation, infringement of copyright, patent or other intellectual property rights, tortious damage to persons or property or breaches of certain Company obligations relating to confidentiality (e.g., safeguarding protected health information) and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless such parties from certain resulting damages, costs and other liabilities. The term of these undertakings may be perpetual and the maximum potential liability of the Company under certain of these undertakings is not determinable. Based on its historical experience, the Company believes the liability associated with these undertakings is minimal. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The Company currently has directors and officers insurance. As there has been no significant history of losses, no expense accrual has been made. Securities Litigation On August 1 and 21, 2013, two putative securities class action suits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of its officers, its board of directors, a former director and the underwriters for the Company's initial public offering. On November 20, 2013, the court consolidated the actions as In re Vocera Communications, Inc. Securities Litigation and appointed Lead Plaintiffs. Lead Plaintiffs filed their consolidated complaint on September 19, 2014. The consolidated complaint named certain current and former officers and directors and the underwriters for the Company's initial public offering and secondary offering and alleges claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act based on allegedly false and materially misleading statements and omissions in the registration statement for the Company's initial public offering and secondary offering and in communications regarding its business and financial results. The suit was purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities between March 28, 2012 and May 2, 2013, and sought compensatory damages, rescission, fees and costs, as well as other relief. On November 3, 2014 Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On February 11, 2015, the Court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss the Securities Act claims, but denied the motion as to the Exchange Act claims, allowing the matter to proceed on that basis. On April 27, 2015 Defendants filed answers to the consolidated complaint. A mediation in October 2015 resulted in an agreement in principle to settle the suit. On March 4, 2016, the Court issued an order granting Lead Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. The settlement, which called for payment of $9 million , was funded entirely and directly by the Company's insurance carriers and paid during the three months ended September 30, 2016. From time to time, the Company may be involved in other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously against any such claims. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, management expects that any losses from existing matters that are probable or reasonably possible of being incurred as a result of these matters would not be material to the financial statements as a whole.

The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Organization and Business Vocera Communications, Inc. (the “Company” or "Vocera") is a provider of secure, integrated, intelligent communication solutions, focused on empowering mobile workers in healthcare, hospitality, energy, and other mission-critical mobile work environments, in the United States and internationally. The significant majority of the Company's business is currently generated from sales of its solutions in the healthcare market to help its customers improve patient safety and experience and increase operational efficiency. The Vocera Communication System, which includes an intelligent enterprise software platform, a lightweight, wearable, voice-controlled communication badge, and smartphone applications, enables users to connect instantly with other staff simply by saying the name, function or group name of the desired recipient. It also securely delivers text messages and alerts directly to and from smartphones, replacing legacy pagers. Other software applications help improve care coordination, patient safety, and patient satisfaction.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and include the accounts of Vocera and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim consolidated financial information. The results for the quarter presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other interim period or any other future year.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, excess and obsolete inventory charges, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation expense, provisions for income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from the sales of communication badges, perpetual software licenses for software that is essential to the functionality of the communication badges, smartphones, software maintenance, extended product warranty and professional services. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of licenses for software that is not essential to the functionality of the communication badges and certain hosted software subscriptions. The Company's revenue recognition policy has not changed from that described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .
Lease, Policy	Transfer of sales-type leases to third-parties Proceeds from transfers of sales-type leases to third-party financial companies are allocated between the net investment in sales-type leases and the executory cost component for remaining service obligations based on relative present value. The difference between the amount of proceeds allocated to the net investment in lease and the carrying value of the net investment in lease is included in product revenue. Proceeds allocated to the executory cost component are accounted for as financing liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) together with the International Accounting Standards Board issued converged guidance for revenue recognition that will replace most existing guidance, eliminate industry-specific guidance and provide a unified model for determining how and when revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will also introduce additional disclosures, changes in asset and liability accounting, and changes in gain/loss recognition for asset transfers unrelated to customer transactions. In July 2015 the FASB affirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard. The Company’s effective date for this standard will be the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Two methods of transition are provided: a full retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients allowed, and a cumulative effect method, with balance sheet adjustment as of January 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the future effect of the standard on its financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB amended lease accounting requirements to begin recording assets and liabilities arising from leases on the balance sheet. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows from leases. This new guidance will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the future effect of the standard on its financial position or results of operations. In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for stock-based payment award transactions. The guidance is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeiture rate calculations. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for credit losses on instruments for both financial services and non-financial services entities. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Fin. Instruments, Policy	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are carried at their fair values with any differences from their amortized cost recorded in equity as unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities. As a basis for determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value instruments and no transfers in or out of Level 3. The Company's money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 fixed income securities are obtained from independent pricing services, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model-driven valuations using observable market data or other inputs corroborated by observable market data. The Company does not have any financial instruments which are valued using Level 3 inputs.
Goodwill, Policy	Goodwill As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had $10.0 million and $10.0 million of goodwill, respectively, allocated to the Company's Product operating segment. As of September 30, 2016 , there were no changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangibles may not be recoverable.
Intangible Assets, Policy	Intangible Assets Acquisition-related intangible assets are amortized either straight-line, or over the life of the assets on a basis that resembles the economic benefit of the assets. This yields amortization in the latter case that is higher in earlier periods of the useful life.
Purchase commitments	Non-cancelable Material Commitments The Company is required to purchase unused, non-cancelable, non-returnable raw material inventory that was purchased by its contract manufacturers based on committed finished goods orders from the Company, certain long lead-time raw materials based on the Company’s forecast and current work-in-progress materials. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , approximately $6.5 million and $7.8 million , respectively, of such inventory was purchased and held by the third-party manufacturers which was subject to these purchase guarantees.
Operating leases	Leases The Company leases office space for its headquarters and subsidiaries under non-cancelable operating leases, which will expire between December 2016 and March 2022. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Facilities rent expense was $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.
Segment Reporting, Policy	The Company has two operating segments, which are both reportable business segments: (i) Product and (ii) Service, both of which are comprised of Vocera’s and its wholly-owned subsidiaries’ results of operations.
