Cisco Video Surveillance 6900 Series High Definition PTZ IP Cameras are designed for superior performance, image quality, and ease of deployment. These cameras use a 1/2.8" SONY EH6300 EXmor CMOS Sensor that allows for up to a 20x optical zoom while viewing and recording at 1080p resolutions.The cameras come with integrated camera optics packages. They offer 360° continuous pan rotation and 16 PTZ presets. In addition, the cameras support an SD/SDHC slot for local storage that can be used if network connectivity is lost.Cisco Video Surveillance 6900 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 or additional bandwidth administration. All Cisco Video Surveillance 6900 Series IP Cameras feature a 1/2.8-inch CMOS for increased sensitivity, and low light technology that allows the cameras to compensate in scenes where minimal light is present. In addition, the cameras feature built-in motion detection and advanced 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.Cisco Video Surveillance 6900 Series High Definition PTZ IP Cameras offer a variety of benefits, including:High Definition Video from a Full Range of Motion: The camera streams crisp and clear 1080p (1920 x 1080) video at 30 frames per second through a continuous 360° pan rotation, 220° tilt angle range, and 20x optical zoom. The camera operator can remotely control the camera to track subjects or reposition the camera's field of view.Camera Presets: Operators can program up to 16 preset locations that the camera can automatically cycle through while recording.Wide Dynamic Range: The camera employs powerful digital imaging technology, allowing it to capture high-quality images in a wide variety of 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.Outdoor Ready: The housing for the camera is IP66 rated, allowing for outdoor mounting without an additional enclosure.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.Open API: Support for ONVIF 2.0 allows for standards based interoperability and communications with other ONVIF appliances.Flexible power options: The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+) 802.3at, High PoE, or 24 VAC power through an external power supply.Simple Web Interface: The Cisco Video Surveillance 6900 Series supports Internet Explorer 8.0 for remote setup and administration.
