Overview
This chapter describes the Cisco Video Surveillance 3530 IP Camera, and includes the following topics:
• Introduction, page 1-1
• Package Contents, page 1-2
• IP Camera Physical Details, page 1-3
Introduction
The Cisco Video Surveillance 3530 IP camera is an outdoor, high definition, professional fixed dome
IP camera with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The 1 megapixel (MP) IP camera
offers 720p full HD resolution (up to 1280 x 800) 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 wide open outdoor areas such as building entrances,
airports, or applications requiring accurate identification.
For complete installation and tampering prevention, the 3530 IP camera also fits different conduits and
corrugated tubes sizes for cable installation. Its IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body
withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather conditions. The wide
temperature range further enhances the 3530 IP camera performance and reliability in extremely cold
and warm weather. Additionally, the metal vandal-proof housing effectively provides robust protection
from vandalism.
With other advanced features such 802.3af compliant PoE, micro SD/SDHC card for local storage, and
e-PTZ functionality, the 3530 IP camera provides the most robust solution suitable for any demanding
outdoor environment.

Camera Installation
This chapter provides information and instructions for installing the Cisco Video Surveillance 3530
IP Camera, and includes the following topics:
• Installation Guidelines, page 2-1
• Warnings Before Installation, page 2-1
• Installing the IP Camera with a Vandal Resistant Enclosure, page 2-4
Installation Guidelines
This section describes how to install the IP camera. Before installing, review these guidelines:
• The IP camera requires a network cable and a connection to a standard 10/100BaseT router or
switch. To power the IP camera with Power over Ethernet (PoE), a switch must be 802.3af
compliant.
• If you are using the IP camera on a network connection that does not provide PoE, you must use a
Cisco 12 VDC power adapter (Cisco part number CIVS-PWRPAC-12V) or a third-party 24 VAC
power adapter.
• If you are using an external speaker, microphone, input device, output device, or pan/tilt control
device, you must configure additional settings after installing and performing the initial set up of the
IP camera before the external device can fully operate. For detailed information about these settings,
see the Cisco Video Surveillance 3000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.
• If you do not connect an external device (speaker, microphone, input, output, or pan/tilt control)
when you perform the following installation procedure, you can install any of these devices later.
Warnings Before Installation
• Power off the IP Camera as soon as smoke
or unusual odors are detected.
Contact your distributor in the event of this
happening.
• Keep the IP Camera away from water. If
the IP Camera becomes wet, power off
immediately.
Contact your distributor in the event of this
happening.

Installing the IP Camera with a Vandal Resistant Enclosure
Note The equipment is to be connected to a Listed class 2, limited power source.
Installing the IP Camera with a Vandal Resistant Enclosure
To install the IP camera to a ceiling or wall using a vandal resistant (VR) enclosure, perform the
following steps.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach the included alignment sticker to the ceiling or wall.
Step 2 Using the circle marks on the sticker, drill at least two pilot holes symmetrically on each side (four holes
total) into the ceiling or wall. Then hammer the included wall anchors into the holes.
Step 3 Secure the mounting plate to the ceiling or wall with the four included screws.
Step 4 Do one of the following to feed the cables to the IP camera:
• Cut out a section of the ceiling or wall that corresponds to the triangular cutout on the alignment
sticker, and feed cables through a ceiling or wall.
• Use a screwdriver to remove the cutout on the side of the conduit base, connect a cable conduit, and
feed the cables through the side of the conduit base.
Step 5 Perform the following steps to install and connect an RJ45 Ethernet cable.

Installing the IP Camera with a Vandal Resistant Enclosure
Note We recommended using 24AWG (0.51 mm) gauge cable.
a. Drill a hole on the rubber seal plug and insert an Ethernet cable (without a connector) through the
opening.
b. Strip about 1/2 inch (12 mm) of the sheath from the Ethernet cable.
c. Use an RJ45 crimping tool to attach the Ethernet wires to a connector. When done, connect the cable
to the camera’s Ethernet RJ45 socket.

c. Feed the power cable through the waterproof connector (F --> E --> D --> B --> A). Be sure to feed
enough power cable length through the waterproof connector to connect the power cable to the GPIO
block.
Note There are 8 holes on the seal (D), and the widest holes with a crack on the side are specific
for power cables.
d. Feed the I/O cables through the waterproof connector (F --> E --> D --> B --> A). Be sure to feed
enough I/O cable length through the waterproof connector to connect the I/O cable to the GPIO
block.
The recommended cable gauge is 2.0 ~ 2.8 mm.
e. Push the seal (D) into the housing (B).
f. Insert the seals (C) into unused holes on the seal (D) to avoid moisture.
g. Secure the sealing nut (A) tightly and hex nut (F) from the bottom of the camera.
h. Connect the power and I/O cables to the GPIO terminal block

Installing the IP Camera with a Vandal Resistant Enclosure
Step 7 Use the included L-type wrench to secure the conduit base to the mounting plate with the three included
screws.
Step 8 Remove the black cover.
Step 9 (Optional) Use mini cable with BNC connector to temporarily attach an NTSC or PAL compliant analog
video display device to the analog video out port on the rear of the IP camera.
Note The mini cable with BNC adapter is included in the audio/video cables accessory kit, which you can
purchase from Cisco (Cisco part number CIVS-AVCABLE).
Analog video is enabled by default to allow you to adjust the camera field of view during installation.
However, it is not supported as a normal camera feed and is automatically disabled when any of the
following camera settings are made:
• The primary video stream frame rate must be set higher than 15 fps.
• The secondary video stream must is enabled.
Note We recommend that you disable analog video after installation. To disable analog video, see the Cisco
Video Surveillance 3000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.
Step 10 While viewing video from the IP camera, perform the following steps to adjust the 3-axis field of view:
a. Grip the two tilt adjustment screws and pan the IP camera left or right.
b. Loosen the two thumb screws, tilt the IP camera, then tighten the thumb screws.
