Introduction
The Cisco Video Surveillance 6400E IP camera offers 1080p HD resolution with superb image quality.
The 6400E is a high-end bullet camera with outdoor-specific features, such as concealed wiring to
prevent tampering, which makes it the camera of choice for applications such as parking lots, gas
stations, and building entrances.
The 6400E boasts high-definition 2-megapixel (1920 x 1080) resolution, allowing for the delivery of
extremely detailed images and coverage six times larger than a VGA camera. To maximize the benefit
of the 2-megapixel sensor, the 6400E employs several innovative technologies for optimized bandwidth
efficiency. Furthermore, multiple video streams can be delivered simultaneously in different resolutions,
frame rates, and image qualities for viewing on different platforms to meet different needs or bandwidth
constraints. The 6400E also offers activity adaptive streaming support that dynamically allocates
bandwidth according to the video content and trigger state.
Aimed at outdoor surveillance, the 6400E features auto-iris capability to protect the lens from damage
induced by direct sunlight. To adapt to light changes throughout the day, the camera is furnished with an
automatic IR-cut filter and IR illuminators for superior image quality around the clock. The 6400E also
comes with an IP67- and IK10-rated housing that offers protection against rain and dust to ensure
functional operation in all types of weather conditions. For easy management and protection against
tempering and vandalism, the 6400E is also equipped with a mounting bracket that conceals all cables
within the bracket.
With other advanced features such as 802.3af compliant PoE and micro SD/SDHC card for onboard
storage, the 6400E is a full-fledged surveillance solution for outdoor environments.
