Verkada CM42-768-HW Surveillance Camera Overview
Verkada's Mini Series offers flexible, discreet cameras with exceptional image quality. It includes three indoor models (the CM22, CM42, and CM41-S and one outdoor model (the CM41-E). These cameras are suitable for a variety of applications, from corporate offices and retail locations to banks and schools.
The CM22 provides essential video security features in a compact form. It is a 3MP camera with 10 meters of IR Range, and includes people and vehicle detection for motion search and trajectory analysis.
The CM42 is a compact and powerful camera that offers many core benefits found in our Dome Series cameras. It surpasses its predecessor in image quality and analytics performance with a cutting-edge Sony IMX675 image sensor, increased storage capacity and advanced Ambarella CV25S88 system on a chip (SOC). It meets EN 50155 railway compliance standards and can be installed for transportation security on trains, buses and boats.
The CM41-E is ideal for outdoor installations and exposure to the elements, thanks to its IK10, IP67 and IP6K9K ratings that provide additional resistance against external impacts and high-pressure water.
The CM41-S is our most compact and flexible camera because its optics and image sensor are separate from the base. This makes it the only high-resolution hybrid cloud camera that can fit in small and narrow places like ATMs, between walls, or in spaces where other cameras with similar capabilities cannot be installed.
All Mini Series cameras come equipped with essential features such as data encryption, onboard storage and advanced motion-based insights. These features enable organizations to easily scale their security coverage and enhance situational awareness across multiple locations. Additionally, the CM42, CM41-E, and CM41-S possess powerful edge-based processing capabilities that offer advanced computer vision functionalities, including Verkada's People and Vehicle Analytics.
