Network Dome Camera VERKADA HARDWARE CD22 — Indoor Vandal-Resistant 3 MP (2048×1536), Fixed Iris, Fixed Lens, LAN 10/100, H.265/H.264, PoE

VERKADA HARDWARE CD22 is an indoor network dome camera that provides 3 MP resolution (2048×1536) for continuous color day/night surveillance. The camera features a fixed iris and fixed lens designed for consistent image quality in controlled interior environments. Built with a vandal-resistant dome housing and supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE), the CD22 integrates with standard network infrastructure for centralized recording and remote viewing using H.265 and H.264 compression.

Advantages

The CD22 combines high-resolution imaging with compact vandal-resistant design suitable for indoor spaces. Fixed iris and fixed focal length reduce mechanical complexity and maintenance while delivering reliable focus and exposure under steady indoor lighting. Support for H.265 and H.264 codecs reduces bandwidth and storage requirements, and 10/100 LAN with PoE simplifies installation by providing power and data over a single cable.

Suitable for

• Retail stores and shop floors for loss prevention and customer flow monitoring
• Office interiors and corridors for general security and access monitoring
• Public indoor spaces such as lobbies, waiting areas, and transit hubs

When it may not be suitable

The CD22 is designed for indoor environments with relatively stable lighting; it may not be optimal for locations requiring wide dynamic range for extreme backlighting or for scenes needing adjustable zoom or variable focus. For outdoor installations or areas exposed to severe weather, a weatherproof outdoor-rated camera should be selected instead.

Key specifications

• Image sensor resolution: 3 megapixels (2048 × 1536)
• Lens: fixed focal length with fixed iris
• Compression formats: H.265 and H.264
• Network interface: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
• Power: Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Form factor: indoor dome, vandal-resistant housing
• Night capability: continuous color day/night monitoring

How to use

Mount the camera in an indoor location with a clear field of view and connect it to a PoE-enabled switch or injector using standard Ethernet cabling. Configure network settings and recording preferences through the compatible Verkada management platform or supported NVR software, selecting H.265 or H.264 to balance image quality with storage and bandwidth. Position the dome to cover the target area and verify focus and exposure under typical lighting conditions. Regularly check firmware updates and status via the management interface to ensure ongoing reliability.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended installation environment: indoor use and vandal-prone areas
• Network infrastructure: availability of PoE switches or injectors and 10/100 Mbps support
• Storage and bandwidth planning based on chosen codec and retention period
• Compatibility with existing video management or cloud recording systems

Usage recommendations

For best results, install the CD22 at a height and angle that minimize obstructions and maximize field of view for the area of interest. Use H.265 when possible to reduce storage needs while maintaining image quality, and schedule routine firmware checks through the Verkada management interface to benefit from security and performance updates.
