Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Product Overview

The Cisco^® Video Surveillance 6500PD IP Camera is a high-definition, full-functioned video endpoint with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The camera is capable of full 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second (fps) while optimizing network usage with either H.264 or Motion JPEG (MJPEG) compression. A serial RS-485 allows for easy custom integration with control and sensor systems. With its open, standards-based design, the camera (shown in Figure 1) provides an ideal platform for integration and operation as an independent device or as part of a Cisco Video Surveillance network.

Cisco Video Surveillance 6500PD IP Camera integrates a digital signal processor (DSP) designed to support complex applications such as real-time video analytics. Users have the option to run multiple applications or analytics rules 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 6500PD IP Camera offers a variety of benefits, including:

● True high-definition video: The camera streams crisp and clear 1080p (1920 x 1080, 2.1 megapixel) video at 30 fps while maintaining low network bandwidth.

● P-Iris lens: The camera supports a P-Iris lens, which allows greater control of the lens aperture and produces a sharper image over typical DC iris lenses.

● Application-ready platform: You can easily add functions by installing and running applications directly on the camera.

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

● Privacy regions: The camera supports up to four user-defined privacy regions. Any video within a privacy region is masked in the video stream.

● Local storage: Video data can automatically be recorded to a Secure Digital (SD) card when the camera loses network connectivity.

● Bidirectional audio: The camera supports full-duplex audio and options for half-duplex operation.

● Open API: Support for Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) 2.0 allows for standards-based interoperability and communications with other ONVIF appliances.

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