The Verkada CB52 Security Camera (marketed as the Verkada CloudGuard 5MP AI Cam family) is a professional outdoor bullet camera line designed for enterprise and B2B surveillance deployments. Combining a 5.0 MP sensor with motorized/varifocal zoom optics, hardened aluminum housings and multiple onboard storage options, CB52 variants are built for perimeter, entrance and parking-area monitoring where durability and detailed identification matter. Deployments benefit from long-range infrared for night visibility, PoE connectivity for simplified wiring, and embedded AI analytics across variants (people, vehicle and license-plate detection). The family balances high-resolution imaging, flexible field-of-view control and local retention to support extended evidence availability and lower bandwidth demands in distributed installations.

Key Features

  • High-resolution imaging: 5.0 MP sensor and up to 2688 x 1944 video for clearer identification and review.
  • Zoom flexibility: Motorized varifocal lenses (examples: 2.8–8 mm, 8–20 mm) with optical zoom (up to 3x) enable targeted coverage from wide scenes to telephoto detail.
  • Robust outdoor construction: Aluminum housings with IP67 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance support exposed and vandal-prone installations.
  • Onboard storage & retention: Multiple bundled capacities (256 GB, 512 GB, 768 GB, up to 2 TB) provide local retention options—enabling extended on-device recording and cloud backup when required.
  • Extended night visibility: Integrated infrared illumination delivers low-light coverage (examples: 30 m / 98 ft to 50 m / 164 ft depending on variant) for reliable 24/7 monitoring.
  • Edge analytics and LPR support: Variants include AI features such as people and vehicle detection, face analytics, crowd detection and license plate recognition for operational efficiency and faster investigations.
