Cisco® Video Surveillance 4000 Series IP Cameras are feature-rich 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) 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, standards-based 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 CIVS-IPC-4300 and CIVS-IPC-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 CIVS-IPC-4500. 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 future-proof 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) 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 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.
• Embedded security and networking. The camera provides hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). For enhanced bandwidth management, the camera supports IP Multicast.
• Event notification. The camera can examine designated areas for activity and notify users or other applications when it detects activity that exceeds a predefined sensitivity and threshold. The camera also provides two digital inputs and two digital outputs that can be used to initiate specific actions when an alarm is detected.
• Day/night operation. The camera provides true day/night functionality that 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.
• Optional USB memory card. The camera supports an optional USB memory card for onboard storage of video and other data.
• Flexible power options. The camera supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af, 12 VDC or 24 VAC power through an optional external power supply.
• Mounting options. The camera can be installed with a fixed mount or with an optional external pan/tilt mount and motorized zoom lens.
