This chapter describes the Cisco Video Surveillance 3421V IP Camera, and includes the following topics:
The Cisco Video Surveillance 3421V IP camera is an indoor, high definition, professional fixed 3" mini dome IP camera with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The 1 megapixel (MP) IP camera offers 720p HD resolution with superb image quality up to 30 frames per second (FPS) while optimizing network usage with either H.264 or MJPEG compression. It can capture a much more comprehensive area than a standard VGA model, significantly reducing the number of units required. It is especially suitable for monitoring indoor areas or such as building entrances, retail spaces, or applications requiring accurate identification.
Additionally, the metal vandal-resistant housing effectively provides robust protection from vandalism.
With other advanced features such as 802.3af compliant PoE, micro SD/SDHC card for local storage, and e-PTZ functionality, the 3421V IP camera provides the most robust solution suitable for any demanding indoor environment.
