VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB52-TE 5 MP Outdoor Vandal-Resistant PoE+ Network Dome Camera with 90-Day Onboard Storage

VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB52-TE is a weather- and vandal-resistant outdoor PoE+ network dome camera that captures 5 MP video (2688 x 1944) with color day/night imaging. The camera supports H.264 compression and connects via 10/100 LAN for integration into IP surveillance systems. Onboard storage retains footage for up to 90 days, and the camera housing meets rugged standards for perimeter and exterior monitoring in urban and industrial environments.

Advantages

The CB52-TE delivers high-resolution 5 MP imaging providing clear detail for identification and scene analysis while maintaining efficient H.264 compression to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements. Its PoE+ compatibility simplifies installation by carrying power and data over a single network cable. The vandal-resistant dome and IP-rated weather sealing protect the unit from impacts and environmental exposure, and the included 90-day onboard storage ensures local retention of recorded footage without immediate dependence on external servers.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and building exterior surveillance
• Parking lots and garage entrances
• Retail and commercial entryways exposed to weather
• Urban or industrial sites requiring vandal-resistant cameras

When it may not be suitable

The CB52-TE is designed for fixed outdoor monitoring and is less suitable where panoramic or ultra-wide coverage is required; in such cases a multi-sensor or PTZ solution may be more appropriate. Environments that require specialized low-light sensitivity beyond standard color day/night performance or advanced onboard analytics not supported by the camera could require additional equipment or server-side processing.

Key specifications

• Image sensor and resolution: 5 MP (2688 x 1944)
• Day/night: color day/night imaging
• Video compression: H.264
• Network interface: 10/100 LAN (PoE+ support)
• Onboard storage: up to 90 days of local recording
• Housing: vandal-resistant dome with weather sealing

How to use

Mount the CB52-TE at the intended outdoor location using appropriate hardware and ensure the housing is securely sealed after installation. Connect the camera to a PoE+ enabled network switch or PoE+ injector using a standard Ethernet cable to provide both power and data. Configure network settings and recording parameters through your surveillance management system, set retention rules to make use of the 90-day onboard storage, and adjust the camera orientation and focus according to the monitored scene. Regularly verify firmware updates and system health through your network management tools.

What to consider before purchase

• Required network infrastructure: PoE+ capable switch or injector and sufficient bandwidth
• Mounting location and angle to ensure desired coverage
• Storage policy and whether 90-day onboard retention meets your retention needs
• Compatibility with your video management system or cloud platform

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor performance, install the camera under appropriate overhangs where possible, use weatherproof cabling and connectors, and schedule periodic inspections to check seals and lens cleanliness. Combine the CB52-TE with complementary cameras for wide-area coverage and integrate with central monitoring to maximize situational awareness.
