Specifications
About the Verkada Verkada CB61-E
The Verkada Verkada CB61-E is a long-distance bullet body that mounts cleanly under eaves, on poles, or along fencelines. 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 wide 80–120° angle covers a large room or open area from a single mounting position, making it ideal for retail floors, conference rooms, and small parking lots.
Best use cases for this camera
Parking lot & open yard
The 100° field of view spans roughly 95 meters at the camera's effective range — wide enough to monitor multiple parking rows from a single mounting point.
Entrance, lobby & vestibule
The 100° field of view captures the entire entrance and surrounding waiting area from a single ceiling mount. Useful for capturing visitors as they enter and leave.
Strengths
- •8.3MP sensor preserves detail under digital zoom on recorded footage
- •100° wide field of view reduces the number of cameras needed per area
- •40m effective range supports outdoor perimeter and parking-lot deployments
Considerations
- •Higher resolution increases storage and bandwidth requirements proportionally — verify NVR capacity

Built-in IR LEDs illuminate up to 30m in complete darkness. Switches to B/W mode for clear night footage.
Installation tips for the Verkada CB61-E
Mount at 4–6 m height angled 10–20° downward — high enough to deter tampering, low enough to preserve face detail at 28m.
Position so the most important subject (entrance, cash register, gate) is in the center third of the frame — peripheral pixel density drops with wide angles.
Plan storage at roughly 33 GB per camera per day for continuous H.265 recording at 15fps — verify NVR has sufficient HDD bay capacity.
