VERKADA HARDWARE Dome Series CD63-F network dome camera 4K 3840×2160 PoE+ GbE H.265 H.264 wireless audio automatic iris vandal-resistant indoor

The VERKADA HARDWARE Dome Series CD63-F is a 4K (3840×2160) network dome camera designed for indoor surveillance. It provides high-resolution video capture with support for H.265 and H.264 compression, Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The camera includes wireless capability, onboard audio, an automatic iris for exposure control, and a vandal-resistant dome housing. Multiple focal length options make it adaptable to different monitoring distances while maintaining detailed image quality.

Advantages

The camera delivers 4K resolution for detailed image capture while using efficient H.265 compression to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements. PoE+ and Gigabit Ethernet support simplify installation and network integration. Built-in wireless and audio capabilities add flexibility for hybrid network environments and two-way or recorded audio monitoring. An automatic iris supports consistent exposure in varying indoor lighting, and a vandal-resistant dome increases durability in public or high-traffic interior locations.

Suitable for

• Indoor areas requiring high-resolution surveillance such as lobbies, retail floors, and offices
• Sites that need flexible installation options with PoE+ and wireless connectivity
• Environments where audio recording or monitoring is required
• Locations where a vandal-resistant housing is preferred for added protection

When it may not be suitable

This camera is intended for indoor use; it is not specified for outdoor or harsh weather environments without appropriate enclosures. If a fully wired-only deployment is required without wireless capability, alternative models with different connectivity sets may be considered. Also, extremely low-light scenes should be evaluated against the camera's low-light performance requirements before purchase.

Key specifications

• Resolution: 4K (3840 × 2160)
• Video compression: H.265 and H.264
• Power and network: PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) and Gigabit Ethernet
• Connectivity: wired GigE and wireless capability
• Audio: onboard audio support
• Optics: multiple focal length options (selectable lenses)
• Exposure control: automatic iris
• Housing: vandal-resistant dome suitable for indoor use

How to use

Mount the dome camera in the intended indoor location, ensuring a stable network connection via Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ or by configuring the wireless option if required. Adjust focal length and framing during installation to cover the desired area. Configure video compression settings (H.265 or H.264) and recording parameters on the network video management system or compatible platform. Enable and test onboard audio, and verify automatic iris operation under typical lighting conditions to ensure consistent exposure. Regularly inspect the dome housing for cleanliness and secure mounting.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended installation environment: indoor use only
• Network infrastructure: availability of PoE+ and Gigabit Ethernet or wireless support
• Required storage and bandwidth planning based on 4K resolution and chosen compression
• Need for audio monitoring and compatibility with existing systems
• Desired focal length to match monitoring distance and field of view

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, install the camera on a stable ceiling or wall mount with access to PoE+ where possible, select H.265 compression for efficient storage, and schedule routine checks of the dome and settings to maintain image quality and audio function.
