Overview
This chapter describes the Cisco Video Surveillance 6400 High-Definition IP Camera, and includes the following topics:
Introduction
The Cisco Video Surveillance 6400 IP camera offers 1080p HD resolution with superb image quality. The 6400 is a high-end bullet camera with outdoor-specific features, such as concealed wiring to prevent tampering, which makes it the camera of choice for applications such as parking lots, gas stations, and building entrances.
The 6400 boasts high-definition 2-megapixel (1920 x 1080) resolution, allowing for the delivery of extremely detailed images and coverage six times larger than a VGA camera. To maximize the benefit of the 2-megapixel sensor, the 6400 employs several innovative technologies for optimized bandwidth efficiency. Furthermore, multiple video streams can be delivered simultaneously in different resolutions, frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms to meet different needs or bandwidth constraints. The 6400 also offers activity adaptive streaming support that dynamically allocates bandwidth according to the video content and trigger state.
Aimed at outdoor surveillance, the 6400 features auto-iris capability to protect the lens from damage induced by direct sunlight. To adapt to light changes throughout the day, the camera is furnished with am automatic IR-cut filter and IR illuminators for superior image quality around the clock. The 6400 also comes with an IP66-rated housing that offers protection against rain and dust to ensure functional operation in all types of weather conditions. For easy management and protection against tempering and vandalism, the 6400 is also equipped with a mounting bracket that conceals all cables within the bracket.
With other advanced features such as 802.3af compliant PoE and micro SD/SDHC card for onboard storage, the 6400 is a full-fledged surveillance solution for outdoor environments.
