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.

Camera Installation
This chapter provides information and instructions for installing the Cisco Video Surveillance 3520
IP Camera, and includes the following topics:
• Installation Guidelines, page 2-1
• Warnings Before Installation, page 2-1
• IP Camera Installation, 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.

IP Camera Installation
Install the 3520 IP camera using one of the following procedures:
• Mounting the IP Camera Directly to a Surface, page 2-4
• Mounting the IP Camera Flush with a Surface, page 2-7
• Mounting the IP camera with a Vandal Resistant Enclosure, page 2-11
Mounting the IP Camera Directly to a Surface
To directly mount the 3520 IP camera to a surface, complete 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 2 pilot holes symmetrically on each side into the ceiling or
wall. Then hammer the included wall anchors into the holes.
Step 3 Secure the IP camera to the ceiling or wall with the included screws.
Step 4 Connect an STP (shielded twisted pair) Category 5 or higher network cable to the LAN port on the back
of the camera. Connect the other end of the network cable to a 10/100/BaseT router or switch.
If your network provides PoE, the IP camera powers on.
Step 5 (Optional) Connect the following cables to the GPIO terminal block:
• External power cable if Power over Ethernet (PoE) is not available.
• I/O cables for external input or out put devices, such as sensors or alarms.

The GPIO terminal block pin locations and descriptions are as follows:
Step 6 (Optional) Use a 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 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 7 Remove the black cover.
Step 8 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.
c. Rotate the IP camera to adjust the image horizontal orientation.

Step 9 While viewing video from the IP camera, perform the following steps to adjust the focal length and zoom
factor.
a. Loosen the locking screw on the focus ring, adjust the focal length (from near to infinity [∞]) to
achieve a sharp image, then tighten the locking screw.
b. Loosen the locking screw on the zoom ring, adjust the zoom factor (from telephoto to wide angle)
to achieve the desired field of view, then tighten the locking screw. If the focus is no longer sharp
after adjusting the zoom, repeat Step 7a to achieve a sharp image.
Step 10 Install the black cover.
Step 11 Attach the dome cover to the IP camera base by aligning it with the mounting holes.
Step 12 Use the included screwdriver to tighten the four dome cover screws to secure the dome cover to the
IP camera. Make sure all parts of the IP camera are securely installed.
What to do next
After you install the IP camera, follow the instructions in the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP
Camera” section on page 3-1 to access the IP camera through your network.

Mounting the IP Camera Flush with a Surface
To mount the 3520 IP camera flush with a surface, complete the following steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Secure the IP camera inside the camera housing using the two included screws.
Step 2 Remove the ceiling tile from the location at which you want to mount the IP dome and cut a 7-3/4 inch
(19.68 cm) diameter hole in the center of the tile.
Step 3 Place the camera housing through the hole that you cut in the ceiling tile.
Step 4 (Optional) Place a ceiling tile mount over the camera housing.
Orient the ceiling tile mount so that it is flush with the back surface of the ceiling tile.
Step 5 Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to turn the anchor screws clockwise and spin the anchor clips outward
into the locking position and to secure the anchor clips.

2-8
Cisco Video Surveillance 3520 IP Camera Installation Guide

Chapter 2 Camera Installation
IP Camera Installation
The anchor clips twist over the ceiling tile. Turn the anchor clip screws until the camera housing is snug
against the ceiling tile. Do not over tighten the screws.
Step 6 Connect a shielded twisted pair (STP) Category 5 or higher network cable to the LAN port on the back
of the camera through the cutout in the camera housing. Connect the other end of the network cable to
a 10/100/BaseT router or switch.
If your network provides PoE, the IP camera powers on.
Step 7 (Optional) Connect the following cables to the GPIO terminal block on the IP camera through the cutout
in the camera housing:
• External power cable to the GPIO terminal block if PoE is not available.
• (Optional) I/O cables for external input or out put devices, such as sensors or alarms, to the GPIO
terminal block
The GPIO terminal block pin locations and descriptions are as follows:
Step 8 Replace the ceiling tile with the camera installed.
Step 9 (Optional) Use a 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 IP camera.
You may need to temporarily remove and adjacent ceiling tile to access the analog video out port.
