VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-2TBE-HW-F — 2nd Gen Outdoor Weatherproof 8MP 4K Bullet Network Camera with Motorized Auto Iris, PoE+ 10/100, H.265/H.264

VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-2TBE-HW-F (2nd Gen) is an outdoor 8 MP 4K bullet network camera that delivers color day/night imaging at 3840×2160 resolution. The camera features a motorized auto iris to adapt to changing light conditions, H.265/H.264 video compression to reduce bandwidth and storage use, and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) with 10/100 Ethernet for simplified cabling. The weather- and impact-resistant housing is designed for exterior deployments such as perimeters, parking areas and storefronts where detailed, high-resolution surveillance is required.

Advantages

The camera provides high-resolution 4K imaging for clear identification and wide-area coverage while the motorized auto iris maintains image quality across variable lighting. H.265/H.264 encoding optimizes bandwidth and storage efficiency without sacrificing detail. PoE+ connectivity allows power and data over a single cable, simplifying installation. Robust exterior housing offers resistance to weather and mechanical impact to support reliable outdoor operation.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and fence-line monitoring
• Parking lots and vehicle areas
• Retail storefronts and building entrances
• Outdoor campus and facility surveillance

When it may not be suitable

This bullet camera is optimized for outdoor fixed installations where 4K resolution and rugged housing are required; it may be excessive for small indoor rooms or applications that do not need high-resolution wide-area coverage. Environments without network infrastructure or PoE capability will require additional power and cabling considerations.

Key specifications

• Image sensor and resolution: 8 megapixel, 4K (3840×2160) imaging
• Lens and aperture control: Motorized automatic iris for adaptive exposure
• Video compression: H.265 and H.264 support
• Network interface: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
• Environmental protection: Weather-resistant and impact-resistant outdoor housing
• Day/night capability: Color imaging with low-light performance

How to use

Mount the camera on a suitable outdoor surface using appropriate hardware and orient the lens to cover the intended field of view. Connect the camera to the network using a Cat5e or Cat6 cable to a PoE+ enabled switch or injector to provide both power and data. Configure resolution, compression (H.265/H.264), exposure and other image settings through the camera management interface or the connected VMS. Use the motorized iris to fine-tune image brightness remotely where available.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm availability of PoE+ on-site or plan for a PoE+ injector/switch.
• Ensure network bandwidth and storage can support 4K streams, especially if multiple cameras are used.
• Verify mounting location, viewing angle and required field of view for the camera’s optical setup.
• Check environmental exposure levels to choose appropriate mounting height and protective measures.

Usage recommendations

For best results, install the camera with clear, unobstructed sightlines and use PoE+ networking to maintain stable power. Adjust the motorized auto iris and exposure settings during varying light conditions and regularly review retention and compression settings to balance image quality with storage and bandwidth constraints.
