Product Overview
®
Cisco Small Business Video Surveillance Cameras provide customizable ways for small business owners to
monitor and protect their companies. These high-quality solutions can be optimized for many different applications
and sites. Each camera can be quickly mounted using the bracket included in the package. The cameras' compact
form factor also enables them to be put inside a protective enclosure for interior or exterior installations. The Cisco
Small Business Video Surveillance Cameras use removable CS-mount lenses and can be customized with optional
zoom, wide-angle, vari-focal, auto-iris, or other types of lenses as required for a specific application or setting.
The Cisco PVC2300 Business Internet Video Camera (Figure 1) is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device, so it can be
powered from a PoE switch or power injector via Ethernet cabling. This enables installation near ceilings, on
rooftops, or anywhere where power outlets may not be available. The Cisco PVC2300 camera can be mounted on
any pan-tilt (PT) base that supports the Pelco D protocol and can be remotely rotated and controlled through an RS-
485 interface. It also has two input and two output ports, which can be used to connect the camera to an alarm
panel, siren, passive infrared (PIR) sensor, smoke detector, lighting switch (on/off), door sensor, etc.
The Cisco PVC2300 uses a high-quality progressive-scan charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor delivering good-
quality video. The CCD sensor also has low-light sensitivity, so video can be captured even in very low light
environments or during near-dark times of day. Additionally, the camera incorporates an infrared (IR) cut filter that,
when used with a separate IR lamp, allows for video capture in total darkness.
