VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-E Network Surveillance Camera – Dome Outdoor Vandal-Resistant, 8 MP 3840×2160, H.264, PoE+ Class 2, LAN 10/100, 30‑day Onboard Storage

The VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-E is an outdoor vandal-resistant network surveillance camera that delivers 8 MP (3840×2160) resolution for high-detail day and night color imaging. Designed for perimeter and facility monitoring, the CB62-E supports H.264 video compression and connects via 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with Power over Ethernet (PoE+) Class 2 for simplified installation. The camera includes 30 days of onboard storage for local retention and incident review and is built to withstand vandalism and outdoor conditions.

Advantages

The CB62-E provides 8 MP resolution with clear image detail at 3840×2160, enabling improved identification and situational awareness. Built for outdoor use, the housing is vandal-resistant and suitable for exposed locations. H.264 compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements while maintaining image quality. PoE+ Class 2 support and 10/100 LAN connectivity allow single-cable power and data installation, simplifying deployment in existing network infrastructures. The included 30-day onboard storage offers local fallback and convenient access to recent footage without continuous cloud dependency.

Suitable for

• Perimeter and fence-line surveillance at commercial or industrial sites
• Parking lots and garage monitoring where outdoor durability is required
• Retail exteriors and storefront monitoring for theft deterrence and incident review
• Facility and campus security where day/night color imaging is important

When it may not be suitable

The CB62-E is focused on outdoor, fixed surveillance tasks where Ethernet and PoE infrastructure are available; it is not intended as a battery-powered or wireless solution. If your deployment requires ultra-low latency streaming or the very latest high-efficiency codecs beyond H.264 (for example H.265 or other proprietary codecs), this model may not provide those specific codec advantages. For interior applications that require compact, completely discrete cameras, a different form factor might be preferable.

Key specifications

• Image sensor and resolution: 8 MP, 3840×2160
• Video compression: H.264
• Network interface: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
• Power: Power over Ethernet (PoE+) Class 2
• Environment: Outdoor, vandal-resistant housing
• Onboard retention: 30 days of local storage
• Day/night capability: Color imaging in low-light conditions

How to use

Install the CB62-E on a suitable outdoor mounting surface with clear sightlines for the monitored area. Connect the camera to your network switch or PoE injector using a Cat5e or better Ethernet cable to provide both data and PoE+ Class 2 power. Configure network settings and recording parameters through your Verkada management interface or compatible network video system, set desired retention and compression profiles, and verify image framing and focus according to the chosen focal length. Use the onboard 30-day storage for local review of recent events and configure offsite or cloud archiving if longer retention is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure PoE+ Class 2 power availability on-site or provide an appropriate PoE+ injector/switch
• Confirm network switch supports 10/100 Mbps connections and available ports for camera count
• Verify required focal length option matches monitoring distance and field of view needs
• Consider whether H.264 compression and 30-day onboard storage meet your long-term retention and bandwidth policies
• Check that mounting surface and environmental protection meet vandal-resistance and outdoor exposure requirements

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor operation, mount the camera at a height and angle that reduces direct glare from headlights and minimizes occlusion by foliage. Use high-quality Cat5e/Cat6 cabling and surge protection on external runs. Regularly verify firmware updates and storage health to ensure continuous recording and incident availability.
