Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Cisco VC 220 Dome Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Day/Night PoE Network Camera, a standalone camera that can be connected

directly to an Ethernet network. The Cisco VC 220 provides 24-hour surveillance

for indoor applications. The camera features day and night functions with a

configurable IR-cut filter and IR illuminators. A 3-axis mechanism allows for flexible

wall or ceiling installations in locations such as banks, office buildings, or

commercial complexes.

In sunlight, the IR-cut filter is activated to minimize the influence of infrared light on

image color. 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.

By enabling Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), the camera can compensate for

challenginglightingconditions.UseWDR whenthereare bothvery brightand very

dark areas simultaneously in the field of view of the camera. The WDR feature

captures both the bright and dark parts of an image and combines the differences

to generate a highly realistic image representative of the original scene. The video

quality achieved is close to the capabilities of the human eye. WDR is widely

applied in high contrast environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots, ATMs,

or loading areas.

NOTE Before installing a surveillance system, check with local government agencies to

determine if video surveillance and audio monitoring are permitted in your area.

Introduction

Minimum Requirements

VC 220 Dome WDR Day/Night PoE Network Camera Administration Guide 10

Minimum Requirements

The following table lists the minimum requirements for your computer when using

the Cisco VC 220 network camera.

NOTE These requirements are approximate. Number of cameras, lighting, frame rate,

codec, and resolution can all affect the storage size.

Multiple cameras can be monitored if you reduce the resolution and frame rate

settings for the video captures. For more information about making these settings,

see Camera Control > Video Settings, page 57.
