Frequently Asked Questions

The Verkada CF81-E delivers a 180-degree field of view (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) with 12MP resolution at 4056 x 3040 pixels, enabling broad coverage of large areas from a single camera location. This combination of expansive fisheye coverage and high resolution makes it ideal for monitoring sidewalks, corridors, retail spaces, campuses, and warehouses without multiple camera installations.

Yes, the Verkada CF81-E includes 20m/66ft infrared (IR) range for reliable nighttime visibility and features 120dB dynamic range with true WDR (wide dynamic range) and dual exposure technology for consistent performance in changing lighting conditions. These capabilities ensure clear surveillance whether monitoring during day or night.

The CF81-E is rated IP67 for weather protection and IK10 for impact resistance, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 50°C (-40°F to 122°F). This rugged construction makes it suitable for harsh outdoor environments including exposed sidewalks, parking lots, and commercial outdoor security applications.

The Verkada CF81-E supports AI-powered search, AI-powered alerts, people and vehicle analytics, line crossing detection, Person of Interest identification, motion search, and trajectory analysis. These features are powered by the onboard Ambarella CV22S88 processor, enabling organizations to monitor high-traffic areas more efficiently and respond to security events intelligently.

The CF81-E connects via PoE (IEEE 802.3af Type 1) or PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Type 2) through RJ-45 network connectivity at 10/100 Mbps, eliminating the need for separate power cables. It offers 512GB to 2TB of onboard storage with 30 to 90 days of retention depending on capacity, plus hybrid cloud architecture for redundant backup and cloud-based archiving.

The Verkada CF81-E provides multiple viewing modes including ePTZ (electronic pan-tilt-zoom), panoramic view, 2-way split, 3-way split, and 4-way split displays. These flexible viewing options allow security teams to monitor different areas of the fisheye image simultaneously or focus on specific zones without moving the camera.
