IP Camera Features
The Cisco Video Surveillance 7000 Series IP Cameras offer a feature-rich digital camera solution for a
video surveillance system. They provide high-definition (HD) video and simultaneous H.264 and
MJPEG compression, streaming up to 30 frames per second (fps) at 1080p (up to 2560 x1920) resolution.
In addition, the 7000 Series IP cameras provide 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 cameras can be powered
through an external power supply or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).

H.264 and MJPEG compression—The IP camera can generate H.264 and MJPEG streams
simultaneously.
Progressive scan video—The IP camera captures each frame at its entire resolution using
progressive scan rather than interlaced video capture, which captures each field of video.
Analog video output—Supports analog video for all resolutions with 15 fps or lower with no
secondary stream.
Medianet—The IP camera supports the Auto Smartports feature of the Media Services Interface
(MSI). MSI enables a camera to participate as an endpoint in the Cisco medianet architecture when
connected to a medianet enabled switch.
Day/night switch support—An IR-cut filter provides increased sensitivity in low-light conditions.
Multi-protocol support—Supports these protocols: DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, NTP, RTP, RTSP,
SMTP, SNMP v2 and v3, SSL/TLS, and TCP/IP.
Web-based management—You perform ongoing administration and management of the IP camera
through web-based configuration menus.
