Cisco Video Surveillance 4000 Series High-Definition IP Cameras
®

Cisco Video Surveillance 4000 Series IP Cameras are high-definition, feature-rich megapixel digital
cameras designed for superior performance in a wide variety of video surveillance applications. The
cameras employ true high-definition (HD) video and H.264 compression, streaming up to 30 frames per
second (fps) at 1080p (1920 x 1080) (2.1 MP) resolution, and 60 fps at 720p (1280 x 720) resolution,
offering efficient network utilization with the highest-quality video. Contact closures and two-way audio
allow integration with microphones, speakers, and access control systems. With its open, standardsbased design, the camera provides an ideal platform for integration and operation as an independent
device or as part of a Cisco Video Surveillance network.
The Cisco Video Surveillance 4300 and 4500 IP Cameras have identical feature sets, with the exception of the
additional digital signal processor (DSP) capabilities specifically designed to support real-time video analytics at the
edge on the 4500 IP Camera. On this model, applications and end users have the option to run multiple analytics
packages without compromising video streaming performance on the camera. This highly flexible computing platform
is ideal for next-generation video analytics applications.

The Cisco Video Surveillance 4000 Series IP Camera offers a variety of benefits, including:
●

True high-definition video. The camera streams crisp and clear 1080p (1920 x 1080) (2.1 MP) video at 30
frames per second while maintaining surprisingly low network bandwidth. For fast motion applications, the
camera can be set to stream 720p (1280 x 720) video at 60 frames per second.

●

Progressive scan video. The camera captures each frame at its entire resolution using a progressive scan
rather than interfaced video capture, which captures each field of video. This feature allows for better detail
for video of moving objects, such as faces and license plates on automobiles.

●

Dual streaming. The camera can stream H.264 and MJPEG video simultaneously. Each video stream can
be configured with individual resolution, quality, and frame rate settings.

●

Day/night operation. The camera provides true day/night functionality, and includes an IR filter that
automatically switches to night mode in low-light scenes. This function can be set to manual, automatic, or
scheduled control.

●

Flexible power options. The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af, 12 VDC or 24 VAC
power through an optional external power supply.
