IP Camera Features

The Cisco Video Surveillance IP Camera offers a feature-rich digital camera solution for a video surveillance system. The camera provides high-definition (HD) video and simultaneous H.264 and MJPEG compression, streaming up to 30 frames per second (fps) at 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution, and 60 fps at 720p (1280 x 720) resolution. Contact closures and two-way audio allow integration with microphones, speakers, and access control systems.

In addition, the IP camera provides networking and security capabilities, including multicast support, hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and hardware-based Data Encryption Standard/Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES/3DES) encryption. The camera can be powered through an external power supply or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).

The IP camera includes the following key features:

H.264 and MJPEG compression—The IP camera can generate H.264 and MJPEG streams simultaneously.

Progressive scan video—The IP camera captures each frame at its entire resolution using progressive scan rather than interlaced video capture, which captures each field of video.

Analog video output—Supports analog video at 720p or lower resolution for installation purposes.
