Overview
This chapter describes the Cisco Video Surveillance 3520 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 3520 IP camera is an indoor, 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 (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 indoor spaces such as building entrances, retail spaces or
applications requiring accurate identification.
For complete installation and tampering prevention, the 3520 IP camera also allows for different
mounting options such as surface, vandal-resistant, and flush mount. Additionally, the metal
vandal-resistant housing option effectively provides robust protection against vandalism.
With other advanced features such as 802.3af compliant PoE, micro SD/SDHC card for local storage,
and e-PTZ functionality, the 3520 IP camera provides the most robust solution suitable for any
demanding indoor environment.
