Cisco Video Surveillance 2500 Series IP Cameras

The Cisco 2500 Series Video Surveillance IP Camera offers a variety of benefits, including:

• Wide dynamic range. The camera employs powerful digital imaging technology, allowing it to capture high-quality images in a wide variety of indoor and outdoor lighting conditions. It uses a progressive scan image sensor with global electronic shuttering to ensure natural color rendition, zero blooming and smear, and minimal motion blurring.

• Embedded security and networking.* The camera provides 802.1X authentication and hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). For enhanced bandwidth management, the camera supports IP Multicast.

• Event notification.* The camera can examine designated areas for activity and notify users or other applications when it detects activity that exceeds a predefined threshold. The camera also provides two digital inputs and two digital outputs that can be used to initiate specific actions when an alarm is detected.

• Flexible power options. The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af or DC power through an optional external power supply.

• Mounting options.* The camera can be installed with a fixed mount or with an optional external pan/tilt mount and motorized zoom lens.

• Wireless capabilities. The wireless IP camera model supports 1 X 2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication, which provides better data throughput and higher link range than single antenna designs. The wireless IP camera offers strong wireless security using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 and supports various network protocols for 802.1x authentication.

Note: Features with an asterisk are not available when the camera is used with Cisco Video Surveillance Manager.
