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.
