Cisco® Video Surveillance 2800 Series Standard Definition PTZ IP Cameras are feature-rich cameras designed for superior performance, image quality, and ease of deployment. These cameras use a 1/4" SONY EX12E EXmor™ CCD Sensor that allows up to a 12x optical zoom while viewing and recording at D1 resolutions.

The cameras are equipped with an integrated camera optics assembly which offers 360° continuous pan ro tation, a 220° tilt range, and eight PTZ presets. In additi on, the cameras support an SD/SDHC slot for local storage that can be used to store video if network connectivity is lost.

Cisco Video Surveillance 2800 Series IP Cameras support two simultaneous video streams. The streams can be compressed in MJPEG and H.264 formats across several resolution configurations, and can be configured in a variety of frame rates and bit rates for additional bandwidth administration. The cameras feature a ¼ inch SONY EXmor CCD Sensor for increased sensitivity and low light capability that allow the cameras to compensate in scenes where minimal light is present. In addition, the cameras feature built-in motion detection and wide dynamic range (WDR) that enables the system to compensate in scenes where dramatic contrasts in lighting are present.

For unparalleled simplicity of setup and monitoring, the cameras support the Cisco Medianet interface. When connected to a Cisco switch that also supports Medianet, the switch recognizes the camera as a video endpoint and then uses SmartPort macros to set the right network parameters for the video stream on the network. In addition, the camera can be automatically discovered and configured when connected to Cisco Video Surveillance Manager 7.0, thereby minimizing installation time and cost.
