Verkada
🇺🇸 US — cameras mapped in Canada
Cloud-first cameras where footage leaves the premises by design — including the industry's clearest documented case of a dormant radio a vendor can switch on remotely.
The company
Privately held, headquartered in San Mateo, California. Cloud-managed enterprise cameras — footage leaves the premises by design. 5 mapped Canadian cameras; cloud-managed enterprise.
The hardware — model by model
CB62-TE (current LPR bullet)
Fixed telephoto bullet — LPR to 80 mph across 3 lanes (edge AI)
- Radios
- None — RJ-45 PoE only; absent from Verkada's FCC grant list (unintentional radiator)
- Imaging
- 4K (3840×2160) 1/2.8" CMOS; 8–20mm motorized varifocal; 50m IR
- Power
- PoE+ 802.3at; IP67, IK10

CB61-TE (gen-1, discontinued)
Fixed telephoto bullet
- Radios
- Contains a DORMANT Wi-Fi radio — disabled by default; enabling requires org-level action via Verkada Support, per Verkada's own help documentation
- Imaging
- 4K; 8–20mm motorized zoom; 50m IR
- Power
- PoE 802.3af/at
- Notes
- The documented "dormant radio, vendor-enabled" pattern in the wild.

Outdoor Remote Deployment Camera
Off-grid remote camera (Verkada's newest direction)
- Radios
- BLE + cellular LTE — Verkada's only FCC-certified camera (FCC ID 2AWUU68B66001, granted January 2026)
- Imaging
- Per filing: camera + IR modules on a CV75 platform
- Power
- Solar/remote deployment
- Notes
- Shows where the cloud vendors are heading: off-grid, radio-equipped poles.
