Overview

Verkada’s CP52-E pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera gives operators control over the camera’s field of view, enabling dynamic monitoring of large areas. Equipped with a 5MP image sensor, the CP52-E boasts broad 360-degree pan and 220-degree tilt capabilities. Operators can use this camera to investigate moving subjects and capture comprehensive footage as events unfold across vast spaces, all with remarkably low-latency (<500 milliseconds). Additionally, the CP52-E features 28x optical zoom to capture finer details of the scene. With an infrared range (IR) of 100m / 328ft, the CP52-E delivers excellent detail even in low-light conditions.

The CP52-E camera is designed with a turret style to optimize usability. It incorporates advanced motor mechanisms that allow for quick and seamless transitions between positions, providing operators with smooth and effective control. The turret design also enhances its range of motion, offering more degrees of freedom and effectively reducing blind spots.

The CP52-E is IP66 weather-rated for highly exposed outdoor installations. The exterior housing provides IK10 protection against direct impacts from vandals, hail and flying debris. Like all Verkada cameras, the CP52-E works out–of–the–box without any additional configurations. All CP52-E cameras come with a 5-year warranty.

Best optics in the Verkada portfolio

• Lens: The CP52-E camera is equipped with a varifocal lens with motorized zoom functionality, providing the convenience to remotely adjust the focal length and zoom level. This allows operators to precisely move the camera and focus on specific areas or subjects.
• Image sensor: Similar to other cameras in the Verkada portfolio, including Domes and Bullets, the CP52-E boasts a 1/2.8″ Progressive CMOS image sensor.
• Focal length: The CP52-E offers a focal length range of 4.94mm (F1.3) to 148.24mm (F4.8), allowing it to capture scenes with a wide range of magnification levels. At the shorter end of 4.94mm (F1.3), the camera delivers a broader field of view, ideal for comprehensive monitoring. When zoomed in to 148.24mm (F4.8), the camera provides magnification capabilities, enabling the capture of fine details even at a distance.
• Shutter speed: The CP52-E’s shutter speed spans from 1/30 second to 1/10,000 second, offering a wide range of options for different scenarios. This versatility enables the camera to excel in various conditions, from low-light environments where capturing details is critical to situations involving fast-moving action that require crisp snapshots.

  • Search for specific attributes like articles of clothing, apparel, brands, and more, to drill down into more granular attributes of people that can make investigations more accurate and streamlined.
  • Identify vehicles of interest with detailed criteria like tinted windows, spoilers, bumper stickers, text (like “UPS truck” or “San Mateo School Bus”) and more, to quickly detect vehicles pertinent to one’s investigation.
• Conduct investigations that address different industryspecific use cases by time and location2
  • Better investigate slip-and-fall cases, shoplifting, break-ins, occupational hazards, workplace safety compliance and more, using freeform queries.
  • Organize searches by time and location for added specificity and more relevant insights of people and vehicles.
• Take actionable steps once the subject or vehicle of concern is identified
  • After identifying a specific person or vehicle, archive the relevant footage and create an incident report.
  • Sift through results of people, download their image to add them as a POI or search their face across all of your organization’s cameras for exhaustive analysis of people under investigation.

Verkada’s People and Vehicle Analytics

Simplify Investigations with Intelligent People, Face and Vehicle Detection
People and Vehicle Analytics combine intelligent edge-based video processing with computer vision to give users high-quality, cloud-based images of all individuals and vehicles identified in the scene.

Stop Crimes in Progress
Verkada’s professional video monitoring solution enables organizations to detect and respond to threats as they happen, using only their cameras.

Turn your cameras into a monitored alarm system
Professional video monitoring allows organizations to turn their Verkada cameras into a complete, monitored alarm solution – no extra hardware required. Simply select which cameras should be monitored, set an arm/disarm schedule and choose how monitoring agents should respond to a threat, such as remote talk down or notifying police.

How it works

• Detect unusual activity
  • Choose which cameras should be monitored and when. An alarm is triggered if a person is detected while the system is armed.
  • Other Verkada devices, including intrusion sensors, access control and environmental sensors, can also be configured as alarm triggers.
• Assess the threat
  • Monitoring agents immediately review camera footage to determine if a person is actually present.*
  • Video verification helps to ensure priority police response and screens out false alarms.
• Take action
  • If there is a person present, the monitoring agent will immediately notify your call list.
  • Agents can also request emergency dispatch or talk down to intruders through an on-site speaker.
  • If there is not a person present, the agent will dismiss the incident.
