IP Camera Features

The Cisco Video Surveillance 3000 Series IP Cameras offer a feature-rich digital camera solution for a
video surveillance system. The camera provides high-definition (HD) video and simultaneous H.264 and
MJPEG compression, streaming up to 30 frames per second (fps) at 1080p (1280x800) resolution.
In addition, the IP camera provides 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 camera can be powered through
an external power supply or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The IP camera includes the following key features:

H.264 and MJPEG compression—The IP camera can generate H.264 and MJPEG streams
simultaneously.
Privacy regions—Up to four user-defined masking zones that can be used to provide regions of
privacy in the camera field of view. Video within privacy regions is not recorded in the camera, nor
sent in the video stream.
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.
Local Storage—Supports up to 32 GB of video data storage on a micro SD memory card when the
camera loses network connectivity.
