Page 1 of 1Cisco Video Surveillance 2600 IP CameraThe Cisco® Video Surveillance 2600 IP Camera is a high-resolution, feature-rich digital camera designedto provide superior performance in a wide variety of video surveillance applications. The camera employsH.264 compression and streams 30 frames per second (fps) at D1 NTSC resolution (720 x 480) or 25 fpsat D1 PAL resolution (720 x 576), offering efficient network utilization while providing high-quality video.With its open, standards-based design, the camera provides an ideal platform for integration, andoperation as an independent device or as part of a Cisco Video Surveillance network.Figure 1 shows the Cisco Video Surveillance 2600 IP Camera.Figure 1. Cisco 2600 IP Camera Shown with Optional DC Auto Iris LensThe Cisco Video Surveillance 2600 IP Camera offers a variety of benefits, including:● Optimal imaging efficiency. The 2600 IP Camera can stream video using H.264 compression, reducingnetwork traffic and storage requirements while providing superior image quality.● Wide dynamic range. The camera employs powerful digital imaging technology, allowing it to capture high-quality images in a wide variety of lighting conditions. It uses a progressive scan image sensor with globalelectronic shuttering to ensure natural color rendition, zero blooming and smear and minimal motion blurring.● Dual streaming. The camera can deliver two simultaneous video streams over the network. A combination ofH.264, MPEG4, and MJPEG can be configured. Each video stream can be configured with individualresolution, quality and frame rate settings.● Day/night operation. The camera provides true day/night functionality that includes an IR filter that canautomatically switch to night mode in low light scenes. This function can be set to manual or automaticcontrol.● Flexible power options. The 2600 IP Camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af or DC powerthrough an optional external power supply.● Embedded security and networking. The camera provides 802.1X authentication and supports IP Multicastfor enhanced bandwidth management.● Event notification. The camera can examine designated areas in the video for motion activity and then notifyusers or other applications when it detects activity that exceeds a predefined threshold.● Mounting options. The camera can be installed with a fixed-mount or with an optional external pan/tilt mountand motorized zoom lens.● Bidirectional audio.* The camera supports full-duplex audio and options for half-duplex operation.
