  • Page 8: Chapter 1: Introduction

    In the low-light conditions, the built-in IR illuminators are enabled to offer infrared light for up to 15 meters (50ft). Therefore, the Cisco VC 220 delivers high image quality in either day and night conditions. To prevent false alarms, a passive infrared (PIR) sensor is built in to detect objects by their thermal presence.

  • Page 9: Features Of The Cisco Vc 220

    Includes basic Cisco Video Monitoring System software that can be used with up to 16 cameras. The Cisco VC 220 camera is also fully compatible with the Cisco Advanced Video Monitoring System software that provides monitoring for up to 64 cameras.
