Features
The Cisco Video Surveillance IP cameras offer a feature-rich digital camera solution for a video surveillance system. They provide high-quality, bandwidth-efficient video capture and transmission, with support for D1 resolution, motion-triggered viewing, H.264 encoding, and MPEG-4 encoding. The IP camera can be powered through an external power supply or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE). Model CIVS-IPC-2611 includes a smoked dome cover.
In addition, the devices provide 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 IP camera includes the following key features:
•Built-in H.264 encoder—An internal H.264 encoder can generate the primary or secondary video stream.
•Built-in MPEG4 encoder—An internal MPEG4 encoder can generate up to two video streams.
•Built-in MJPEG encoder—An internal MJPEG encoder can generate the primary or secondary video stream.
•Privacy Regions—Up to four user-defined masking zones that can be used to provide regions of privacy in the camera field of view. Video within privacy regions is not recorded in the camera, nor sent in the video stream.
•Day/night switch support—An IR-cut filter provides increased sensitivity in low-light conditions.
•Multi-protocolsupport—Supports these protocols: DHCP, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, NTP, RTP, RTSP, SMTP, SSL/TLS, and TCP/IP.
•Web-basedmanagement—You perform ongoing administration and management of the IP camera through web-based configuration menus.
•Motion detection—The IP camera can detect motion in up to four designated fields of view by analyzing changes in pixels and generate an alert if motion is detected.
