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
