VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-TE network surveillance camera — dome, outdoor, 8 MP (3840×2160), variable focal lengths, LAN 10/100, H.264, PoE+ Class 2, 30-day onboard storage

The VERKADA HARDWARE Bullet Series CB62-TE is an outdoor network surveillance dome camera designed for perimeter and site monitoring. It provides 8 MP (3840×2160) resolution and variable focal length options to balance field of view and detail. The housing is vandal- and water-resistant for reliable outdoor operation, and the unit supports H.264 video encoding with 10/100 LAN connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) Class 2. Onboard storage retains up to 30 days of footage for local retention and continuous color day/night imaging ensures visibility in varying light conditions.

Advantages

The camera combines high-resolution 4K imaging with adaptable optics to capture detailed scenes across wider areas or focused points of interest. Rugged dome construction rated for outdoor use helps protect the sensor and electronics from environmental exposure and tampering. Network and power over a single cable simplify installation, while H.264 compression reduces bandwidth and storage requirements. Built-in 30-day onboard storage provides a local fallback when network recording is not available.

Suitable for

• Perimeter security and fence line monitoring
• Building entrances, loading bays and exterior access points
• Outdoor public spaces and parking areas requiring high-resolution capture
• Sites needing vandal-resistant housings and weather protection

When it may not be suitable

This model uses H.264 encoding and 10/100 LAN connectivity; environments that demand the latest codecs (for example H.265/HEVC) or gigabit network throughput may find this camera limiting for future-proofing or maximum compression efficiency. Situations that require internal storage retention beyond the stated 30-day onboard capacity or extremely long-term archival without external recording may require supplementary network video recorder (NVR) or cloud storage solutions.

Key specifications

• Image sensor resolution: 8 MP (3840×2160)
• Form factor: dome, outdoor-rated, vandal- and water-resistant housing
• Optics: variable focal length options for adjustable field of view
• Network interface: 10/100 LAN
• Power: PoE+ Class 2 support
• Video encoding: H.264
• Onboard storage: 30 days local retention
• Imaging: color day/night capability for low-light conditions

How to use

Mount the CB62-TE in a weather-protected outdoor position that provides the desired coverage area, ensuring the mounting surface and cabling meet the weight and environmental requirements. Connect a single Ethernet cable for network connectivity and PoE power; configure network settings and recording retention through the management interface or associated platform. Adjust the focal length and camera angle to achieve the required field of view and verify day/night performance under expected lighting conditions. Use onboard storage as local retention and integrate with network recording or cloud services if longer-term archival or centralized management is required.

What to consider before purchase

• Network infrastructure: supports 10/100 LAN, confirm switch ports and cabling meet this specification
• Compression and bandwidth: H.264 encoding impacts storage and network load differently than newer codecs
• Retention needs: onboard storage is limited to 30 days; plan external storage if longer retention is required
• Lighting and placement: verify color day/night suitability for low-light areas and plan mounting to minimize obstructions

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor monitoring, install the camera with a clear line of sight to the area of interest, use PoE+ compatible switches to simplify deployment, and pair onboard retention with centralized recording for longer-term archive and incident review.
