The Cisco camera surveillance solutions are high quality solutions which can be optimized for many different applications. The box-type form factor allows these cameras to be used as-is or put inside an outdoor enclosure for interior or exterior applications. The cameras use removable CS-mount lenses and can be customized with Zoom, Wide-Angled, Vari-focal, Auto-Iris (DC type), or other type of lenses as required for the specific application.

The PVC2300 provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality that facilitates installation of the PVC2300 in places out of reach of a power outlet.

The cameras can be remotely controlled through an RS-485 interface and mounted on any PT (pan/tilt) base that supports Pelco-D protocol. The camera supports 2 input and 2 output connectors which can be used for connecting to an alarm panel, siren, PIR, smoke detectors, light switch (on/off), door opener, etc.

The cameras incorporate a high quality progressive scan CCD sensor, delivering good quality undistorted video. The sensor used in the cameras has low light sensitivity capability. This means that video can be viewed when very low light (near darkness) is present. Additionally, the cameras incorporate an IR Cut Filter switcher which, when used with a separate IR lamp, allows for viewing of video in total darkness.
