Frequently Asked Questions
What is the field of view and coverage area of the Verkada CF83-E fisheye camera?
The Verkada CF83-E delivers 180-degree coverage in all directions—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal—from a single fixed 1.7mm lens mounted on a 1/1.6" progressive CMOS sensor. This expansive fisheye design captures wide-area surveillance across large spaces like warehouses, campuses, and parking areas while minimizing blind spots and reducing the number of cameras needed for comprehensive coverage.
What analytics and intelligent features does the CF83-E support?
The CF83-E is powered by an onboard CV72S Ambarella processor that enables AI-powered analytics including AI-powered search, motion trajectory mapping, line crossing alerts, loitering detection, and people and vehicle analytics. These advanced features allow warehouse and logistics teams to monitor activity in real time and generate actionable insights without relying solely on cloud processing.
How does the Verkada CF83-E perform in low-light and nighttime conditions?
The CF83-E includes 20 meters (66 feet) of infrared night vision range, enabling clear visibility and detailed 12.5MP image capture in dark or low-light environments. Combined with its large 1/1.6" sensor, this makes it suitable for 24/7 outdoor surveillance across warehouses, transportation hubs, and commercial facilities regardless of lighting conditions.
Is the Verkada CF83-E suitable for harsh outdoor environments?
Yes, the CF83-E is built for demanding outdoor conditions with an IP66/67 weather rating for protection against dust and water ingress, and an IK10 impact resistance rating to withstand physical damage. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 50°C (-40°F to 122°F), making it ideal for warehouses, retail locations, and logistics facilities exposed to variable weather.
What are the storage and retention capabilities of the CF83-E?
The CF83-E offers onboard storage options ranging from 512GB to 3TB, with video retention periods of 30 to 120 days depending on which storage capacity you select. This hybrid cloud architecture reduces bandwidth usage by processing and storing video locally while still supporting cloud-based management and access through Verkada's platform.
How is the Verkada CF83-E powered and connected to the network?
The CF83-E is powered over Ethernet (PoE), requiring only a single network cable for both power and data connectivity via standard RJ-45 connection at 10/100 Mbps. This simplifies installation in warehouses and logistics environments by eliminating the need for separate power lines and reducing cable clutter.
