Features and Benefits
The Cisco VC220 Dome Network Camera provides:
●
Superior camera quality and control: The Cisco VC220 features a WDR complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) sensor and built-in infrared LEDs and infrared cut filter for optimal image quality,
regardless of lighting levels day or night.
●
Remote monitoring: The Cisco VC220 lets you access real-time video and audio from any Internet-
connected PC, mobile phone, or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Audio and Video client. Its remote
accessibility lets you enjoy peace of mind when you are away from the office.
●
Rich application support: The Cisco VC220 supports two-way audio and input/output ports to support a
variety of applications. You can link the Cisco VC220 surveillance system to door and motion sensors,
alarms, lighting systems, or phone systems. In addition, you can add the Cisco Advanced Video Monitoring
System (AVMS) software to integrate the solution with business systems such as point-of-sale (POS)
equipment, count and analyze activities, search POS data, and retrieve video for particular transactions.
●
Fast, simple installation: The Cisco VC220 is easy to install on a wall, or ceiling. It features Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) support, so you can power and control the camera with just one network cable. Optional
enclosures support recessed mounting and provide additional protection. Easy to set up, an intuitive
graphical user interface in the included video software makes it easy to deploy cameras and sensor systems
and set up intelligent alerts.
●
Included video monitoring software: Other IP surveillance systems require costly video monitoring
software. The Cisco VC220 includes—at no extra charge—a complete monitoring suite that lets you easily
configure and control up to 16 cameras at once. For larger camera deployments and more monitoring
functionality including business analytics, the Cisco Advanced Video Monitoring System software is available
and can be evaluated with a 30-day free trial.
●
A complete surveillance solution: The Cisco VC220 is part of a growing family of IP network surveillance
cameras designed as a fully integrated component of your Cisco Small Business network. With a broad
portfolio of small business routing and switching, data storage, and telephony technologies, Cisco offers a
comprehensive video, voice, and data solution for your business.
