Specifications
About the Verkada Verkada CB52-TE
The Verkada Verkada CB52-TE is a rugged outdoor-grade bullet form factor designed to withstand exposure to weather, vandalism, and direct sunlight. 4K (8MP) resolution roughly quadruples 1080p pixel density, pushing usable identification distance past 25 meters and giving forensic-grade digital zoom on archived footage. Medium IR range (20–40 m) is appropriate for typical residential driveways, small commercial perimeters, and back-of-house loading bays where reach beyond ~30 m is rarely needed at night. A narrow field of view trades coverage area for pixel density at distance — the right choice when you need to read faces or plates far from the camera, e.g., long corridors, gate approaches, ANPR installations.
Best use cases for this camera
Long corridor & aisle monitoring
The 40° narrow angle is intentionally tuned for corridor work — it concentrates pixel density along the length of the hallway rather than wasting resolution on the side walls. Mount at the far end facing along the corridor.
License plate / ANPR
The combination of 40° narrow angle and 5.0MP (2592×1944) resolution provides the pixel density required for ANPR at typical lane widths, especially when paired with proper lane lighting and perpendicular mounting.
Strengths
- •5MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
- •60m effective range supports outdoor perimeter and parking-lot deployments
Considerations
- •Narrow angle requires more cameras to cover wide areas — plan camera count accordingly

Night Vision Performance
Daytime
Full 5.0MP (2592×1944) resolution at 40° field of view. Effective identification range up to 60m in good lighting conditions.
Nighttime (IR)
Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 40m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the Verkada CB52-TE
Mount at 4–6 m height angled 10–20° downward — high enough to deter tampering, low enough to preserve face detail at 42m.
Plan cabling for multiple cameras to cover wide areas — at 40° you cover roughly 7 m of width per camera at 10 m distance.
Plan storage at roughly 20 GB per camera per day for continuous H.265 recording at 15fps — verify NVR has sufficient HDD bay capacity.
