VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB52-TE network surveillance camera, bullet, outdoor, 5 MP (2688×1944), H.264, PoE+ Class 2, 30-day onboard storage

VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB52-TE is an outdoor network surveillance camera that provides 5 MP (2688×1944) resolution with color day/night imaging. The camera is designed for perimeter and site monitoring with a vandalism- and weather-resistant housing, H.264 video compression, 10/100 LAN connectivity and PoE+ Class 2 support for single-cable power and data. Onboard storage retains video for 30 days, and multiple focal length options allow flexible field-of-view configurations for different installation needs.

Advantages

The CB52-TE delivers high-resolution 5 MP imaging to capture fine detail across outdoor scenes while maintaining efficient H.264 compression to reduce bandwidth and storage needs. Built to withstand vandalism and adverse weather, the housing provides protection suitable for exposed mounting locations. Power-over-Ethernet simplifies installation by combining power and network connection into a single cable, and the included 30-day onboard storage reduces immediate dependence on external recording systems. Telephoto focal length choices expand mounting options for longer-range monitoring.

Suitable for

• Perimeter surveillance of commercial or industrial sites
• Monitoring parking lots, access gates and entry points
• Remote outdoor locations where vandal- and weather-resistant equipment is required
• Installations that benefit from PoE+ single-cable deployment

When it may not be suitable

This model uses H.264 compression; environments that require the latest codecs for maximum bandwidth efficiency (for example H.265/HEVC) may prefer a different camera. It is optimized for outdoor surveillance with telephoto options, so applications that require ultra-wide or fisheye coverage are not the camera's primary use case.

Key specifications

• Image sensor resolution: 5 MP (2688 × 1944)
• Video compression: H.264
• Network: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
• Power: PoE+ Class 2 (single-cable power and data)
• Storage: 30 days onboard recording
• Form factor: Bullet-style outdoor camera
• Environmental protection: Vandal- and weather-resistant housing
• Optics: Telephoto focal length options for flexible field of view

How to use

Mount the CB52-TE on a stable surface using appropriate hardware and ensure the camera is oriented for the desired field of view. Connect the camera to your network switch or PoE injector using a Category-rated Ethernet cable that supports the required power class. Configure network settings and video parameters via the management interface provided by the surveillance platform you use. Verify onboard storage is enabled and retention settings are configured to retain footage for the intended 30-day period. Adjust focus and optical zoom as needed to frame the target area.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm network infrastructure supports 10/100 Mbps and PoE+ Class 2 power delivery
• Check that H.264 compression meets your bandwidth and storage efficiency requirements
• Assess mounting location for vandal and weather exposure; select appropriate mounting hardware and height
• Verify required field of view and select the correct focal length option for distance and coverage

Usage recommendations

For best results install the camera at a height and angle that minimizes obstructions and glare, use shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet cabling for long runs, and periodically verify firmware and system settings to maintain reliable 30-day onboard recording and optimal image quality.
