VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB52-TE Network Bullet Camera 5 MP 2688x1944 PoE+ Class 2 H.264 60-day Onboard Storage LAN 10/100 Outdoor Vandal- and Weather-Resistant

VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB52-TE is an outdoor network bullet camera that provides 5 MP (2688×1944) colour day/night imaging with H.264 compression. Built for vandal- and weather-resistant installations, the camera supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) Class 2 and connects via a 10/100 Mbps LAN port. The device includes onboard retention capable of storing up to 60 days of footage locally, and offers multiple focal length options to suit different surveillance distances and fields of view.

Advantages

The CB52-TE delivers high-resolution 5 MP imagery for clearer identification and situational awareness while keeping bandwidth and storage efficient through H.264 compression. PoE+ Class 2 support simplifies installation by combining power and data on a single cable. Robust mechanical design ensures resistance to vandalism and adverse weather, making it suitable for outdoor perimeter and entrance monitoring. Onboard storage of up to 60 days provides local, reliable retention without immediate dependence on external recorders.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and fence-line surveillance
• Building entrances and loading bays
• Parking lots and outdoor public areas
• Sites requiring vandal- and weather-resistant outdoor cameras

When it may not be suitable

This camera uses H.264 compression and 10/100 Mbps LAN connectivity; environments that require the latest high-efficiency codecs (for example H.265) or multi-gigabit network throughput may find this model limiting. Extremely wide-area coverage might require additional cameras or different optics if a single unit cannot provide the desired field of view at required identification distances.

Key specifications

• Image sensor resolution: 5 MP (2688 × 1944)
• Compression format: H.264
• Power: PoE+ Class 2 support
• Network interface: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
• Onboard storage: up to 60 days of local retention (capacity and retention depend on scene activity and configuration)
• Optics: multiple focal length options available for varying fields of view
• Protection: vandal-resistant and weather-resistant outdoor housing

How to use

Mount the CB52-TE at the chosen outdoor location with a stable bracket and run a Cat5e/6 cable to supply both power and data via PoE+. Connect the camera to the LAN using the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port and configure network settings according to site policies. Select an appropriate focal length or lens option for the target area, set exposure and day/night modes if configurable, and verify image framing and focus. Use onboard storage settings to manage retention length and export schedules, or integrate with network video management systems as required for centralized recording and analytics.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm network infrastructure supports PoE+ Class 2 and 10/100 Mbps operation
• Assess required field of view and choose the appropriate focal length option
• Evaluate retention needs and understand that actual onboard days depend on scene activity and compression settings
• Check mounting location for vandal- and weather-exposure and provide appropriate conduit or protection if needed

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor surveillance, position the camera to avoid direct glare from sun or strong artificial lights, use recommended PoE+ switches to ensure stable power delivery, and periodically verify firmware and configuration to maintain image quality and retention policies.
