Verkada CB62-E Bullet Security Camera with Optical Zoom User Guide

Verkada CB62-E Bullet Security Camera with Optical Zoom

Overview

Verkada’s Bullet Series is designed to withstand harsh conditions and its visible form factor helps deter potential threats. There are two CB62 models: the CB62-E, which has a wide-angle field of view and the CB62-TE, which has a powerful zoom. Additionally, the cameras feature powerful long-range IR LEDs that enable them to produce clear images even at a distance of up to 50 meters at anytime of day.

Bullet cameras are designed for use in exposed outdoor environments. They are constructed with a robust aluminum unibody that encloses hermetically sealed internal electrical components. The camera’s design includes a built-in pigtail connector that allows for easy insertion of an ethernet cable without needing to remove the outer body. The external housing offers IP67 protection against dust and heavy rain and IK10 protection against damage from vandals, hail and flying debris.

All 2nd generation Bullet cameras are outfitted with a cutting-edge system on a chip (SOC) which features a dedicated computer vision co-processor. Powered by Ambarella CV22 chipsets, these cameras can accurately capture license plates from vehicles traveling at speeds of up to 80mph / 128kph and do so simultaneously across three lanes. The Bullet Series is the single line of Verkada cameras that supports our License Plate Recognition feature, enabling users to capture
and search for specific vehicles by their license plate numbers.

In addition, the Bullet Series has powerful edge processing capabilities that enable advanced computer vision features, including Verkada’s People and Vehicle Analytics. These cameras also offer standard capabilities such as data encryption, onboard storage and motion detection, which help organizations rapidly scale their security coverage and enhance situational awareness across multiple locations.

Verkada’s AI-Powered Search1

Use Natural Language to Conduct Investigations Directly Relevant to Your Organization

Verkada’s latest AI-powered search in Command gives users the ability to search for a near-limitless number of attributes of people and vehicles across their organization. With AI-powered search, users can leverage their own words in a freeform search bar to describe a person or vehicle of interest and conduct highly-granular investigations as a result.

Tap into AI to unlock nearly unlimited search criteria

• A high-performance text-to-image open source AI model and our own in-house enhancements turn the Command search bar into a blank canvas for freeform text queries– allowing users to conduct investigations into specific, granular attributes of people and vehicles.

Structure detailed queries beyond the norm

• 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.

1. AI-powered search is currently supported in English only.
2. Check out our User Guide for example queries and methods for constructing your own queries relevant to your organization’s requirements.

Verkada’s People and Vehicle Analytics

Professional video monitoring

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.

Key benefits

Professional monitoring with video verification is included in the LIC-BA Standard Alarm License or the LIC-BV Premium Alarm License. One License is required per location, and includes up to 50 monitored cameras. Monitoring is provided by fully redundant, US-based, UL-listed central monitoring stations with Five Diamond Certification from The Monitoring Association. Certified monitoring centers are also available in Canada, the UK and Australia.
