Overview
The Cisco Video Surveillance 8620 (indoor) and 8630 (indoor/outdoor) IP Cameras are high-definition,
full-functioned video endpoints with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The cameras
are capable of 1920 x 1080 resolution while optimizing network usage with H.264, H.265, or MJPEG
compression. Contact closures allow integration with access control systems. With its open,
standards-based design, the camera provides an ideal platform for integration and operation as an
independent device or as part of a Cisco Video Surveillance network.
Key features and benefits of the Cisco Video Surveillance cameras include:
•True high-definition video—The camera streams crisp and clear video at resolutions up to 1920 x
1080 while maintaining low network bandwidth
•Streaming—The camera can stream H.264, H.265, and MJPEG video simultaneously. Each video
stream can be configured with individual resolution, quality, and frame-rate settings.
•Day/night operation—The camera provides true day-night functionality and includes an infrared
filter, which automatically switches to night mode in low-light scenes and can be set to manual,
automatic, or scheduled control.
•Flexible power option—The cameras support The cameras supports Power over Ethernet (PoE)
802.3af Class 0 for 8020 models, Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3at (Class 4) for 8030 models, and,
12 VDC and 24 VAC for both models

Step 5 Install an SD card to the socket. See the pinouts table in the figure if DI/DO, audio, and external power
are preferred.
Step 6 Access the camera web-based user interface and, with a live view, adjust the camera shooting direction
by changing the pan, tilt, and rotation angle.
You can use the Cisco IP Camera Setup Software to obtain the IP address of the camera, which you need
to access the camera. For instructions, see Cisco IP Camera Setup Software Reference Guide at:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/connected-safety-security/
