VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-E network surveillance camera — 8 MP 3840×2160, vandal-resistant outdoor bullet, PoE Plus Class 2, H.264, LAN 10/100, 1TB onboard (60 days)

The VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-E is an 8 MP (3840×2160) outdoor network surveillance camera designed for perimeter and facility monitoring. The camera delivers color day/night imaging in a vandal-resistant, weatherproof bullet housing and supports H.264 video compression, 10/100 LAN connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE Plus Class 2). A built-in 1 TB onboard storage provides approximately 60 days of continuous recording, enabling local retention and remote access over the network.

Advantages

This bullet camera combines high-resolution 4K imaging with a rugged, vandal-resistant enclosure suitable for outdoor use. H.264 compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image detail. PoE Plus Class 2 simplifies installation by delivering power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Onboard 1 TB storage supports uninterrupted local recording for about 60 days, reducing dependence on external NVRs and cloud-only backups.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and fence-line surveillance
• Parking lots and vehicle access areas
• Retail exteriors and storefront monitoring
• Industrial and facility outdoor entrances
• Remote sites where network access and local retention are required

When it may not be suitable

The CB62-E is optimized for fixed outdoor monitoring scenarios; it is not intended to replace PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras for active tracking of moving subjects. Environments requiring H.265/HEVC compression exclusively will not benefit from the camera's H.264-only codec support. Very low-bandwidth networks or installations without PoE infrastructure may require additional power or network equipment.

Key specifications

• Image sensor and resolution: 8 MP, 3840×2160
• Lens options: supports various focal lengths (select per model/configuration)
• Video compression: H.264
• Network interface: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
• Power: Power over Ethernet (PoE Plus Class 2)
• Onboard storage: 1 TB (approximately 60 days continuous recording)
• Housing: vandal-resistant, weatherproof bullet form factor suitable for outdoor use

How to use

Install the camera at the desired outdoor location using the mounting points on the bullet housing and connect it to a PoE-enabled switch or injector via a Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable. Configure network settings and recording preferences through the Verkada management interface or compatible network video management system. Select appropriate focal length and field of view for the scene, set exposure and day/night settings as needed, and verify remote access and retention time to confirm approximately 60 days of local recording on the 1 TB onboard drive.

What to consider before purchase

• Required field of view and lens focal length for your coverage area
• Network infrastructure and PoE availability (PoE Plus Class 2 recommended)
• Compatibility with existing VMS or cloud management platform
• Local storage retention needs versus offsite/cloud backup strategy
• Environmental conditions and mounting location to ensure vandal- and weather-resistance

Usage recommendations

For reliable 4K outdoor monitoring, mount the CB62-E at a height and angle that minimizes glare and maximizes coverage of access points. Use PoE Plus Class 2-compliant switches to ensure stable power and network throughput, and configure recording parameters to balance image quality and storage retention. Periodically verify firmware updates and storage health to maintain continuous recording for the expected 60-day onboard retention.
