Verkada CD53-E-F Government-Grade Outdoor Dome Camera
Reliable 5MP Coverage for Extensive Visibility in Outdoor Government Environments
Government-Grade Dome Series
Overview
The CD53-E-F FIPS-validated dome camera provides flexible 5MP coverage in a range of outdoor environments. With a 1/2.8" progressive CMOS image sensor, 2.86x optical zoom, and 30 meters / 98 feet of IR range, the CD53-E-F offers detailed and consistent image quality in inclement weather and varying lighting conditions. The CD53-E-F also includes FIPS 140-validated encryption, has FedRAMP Ready status at the Moderate impact level, and is both TAA and FY2019 NDAA compliant – essential compliance criteria for government-grade deployments. The CD53-E-F is compatible with the standard Verkada Command platform, as well as Command hosted in AWS GovCloud.
The CD53-E-F includes an onboard CV75S Ambarella processor to support advanced analytics like AI-powered search, line crossing, loitering, and Person of Interest (POI) alerts. The CD53-E-F is optimal for covering outdoor areas of interest such as parking lot entrances and exits, loading docks, and alleyways where detailed face and vehicle capture is required at longer distances.
Engineered for challenging outdoor environments, the CD53-E-F's IP66/67 weather and IK10 impact ratings enable the device to withstand harsh conditions. Its in-house design promotes a seamless installation experience, featuring captive screws that remain attached to the mounting plate, a latch-based cable gland for easy PoE threading, a three-LED status light indicator, and a built-in bubble level to help ensure precise alignment.

Note: All cameras record in "adaptive quality," capturing both standard (SQ) and high quality (HQ) streams. Standard quality (SQ) video is stored up to the amount of retention specified by the customer. The amount of high quality video stored on the camera will depend on the amount of motion detected by the camera over time. For more information, visit Verkada's adaptive quality documentation.
