VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-TE network bullet camera, outdoor vandal-resistant, 8 MP 3840×2160, multiple focal lengths, LAN 10/100, H.264, PoE+ Class 2, 60-day onboard storage (1 TB)

The VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-TE is an outdoor network bullet camera built for vandal-resistant and weatherproof surveillance. It records 8 MP (3840×2160) color day/night video and supports multiple selectable focal lengths to adapt framing to different scenes. Network connectivity is via 10/100 LAN and the camera uses H.264 compression for efficient video storage and streaming. Power over Ethernet (PoE+) Class 2 simplifies installation by combining power and data on a single cable. The camera includes 1 TB of onboard storage, enabling up to 60 days of local retention without requiring a separate NVR.

Advantages

The camera combines high-resolution 8 MP imaging with vandal-resistant mechanical design and IP-rated weather sealing for continuous outdoor operation. Multiple focal length options let installers optimize the field of view for perimeter, parking or facility monitoring. Onboard 1 TB storage with up to 60 days retention reduces dependency on external recording systems, while H.264 compression and 10/100 LAN reduce bandwidth and storage requirements. PoE+ Class 2 power support allows straightforward single-cable deployment to suitable network switches.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and fence line monitoring
• Parking lots and outdoor car parks
• Building entrances and loading docks
• Small-to-medium commercial and industrial sites

When it may not be suitable

This camera is designed for outdoor, fixed bullet applications where vandal resistance and weatherproofing are required. It may not be the best choice for indoor-only installations where a smaller dome or discreet camera is preferred. Environments that require ultra-low bandwidth codecs newer than H.264 or extremely long-term cloud-only retention should verify compatibility with existing infrastructure and storage policies.

Key specifications

• Image resolution: 8 MP (3840×2160)
• Lens: multiple selectable focal lengths (configurable for varied fields of view)
• Video compression: H.264
• Network: 10/100 LAN
• Power: PoE+ Class 2
• Onboard storage: 1 TB (up to 60 days retention, typical)
• Environmental protection: outdoor-rated, vandal-resistant housing

How to use

Mount the camera on a stable surface with suitable mechanical anchors and orient the selectable lens to achieve the desired framing. Connect a Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable to a 10/100 PoE+ Class 2-enabled switch or injector to provide both power and network connectivity. Configure network settings and camera parameters using the vendor’s management interface, select the appropriate focal length and adjust exposure or day/night settings as needed. Verify onboard storage and retention settings to ensure the 1 TB capacity meets your retention policy.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm PoE+ Class 2 availability on the intended switch or budget for a compatible PoE injector
• Verify desired focal length options are provided and suitable for planned mounting distance
• Ensure your network supports 10/100 connectivity and that available bandwidth meets streaming needs
• Check site mounting, vandal protection requirements, and local environmental conditions

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor surveillance, place the camera under an overhang where possible to reduce direct exposure to precipitation, perform periodic firmware updates through the manufacturer interface, and schedule verification of onboard storage and retention settings. Use appropriate surge protection and ensure cable runs follow best practices for outdoor installations.
