Features
The Cisco Video Surveillance 2600 IP Camera offers a feature-rich digital camera solution for a video
surveillance system. It provides high-quality, bandwidth-efficient video capture and transmission, with
support for D1 resolution, motion-triggered viewing, H.264 encoding, and MPEG-4 encoding. It can be
powered through an external power adapter or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).
In addition, the device 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 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.
• Two-way audio communication—Audio can be encoded with the video. With the internal or
optional external microphone and optional external speaker, you can communicate with people at
the IP camera location while you are in a remote location and viewing images from the IP camera.
• Multi-protocol support—Supports these protocols: DHCP, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, NTP, RTP, RTSP,
SMTP, SSL/TLS, and TCP/IP.
• Web-based management—You perform ongoing administration and management of the IP camera
through web-based configuration menus.
