Model: PVC2300
Business Internet Video
Camera with Audio and POE
High quality video surveillance
platform with Power over Ethernet
provides flexible installation
Linksys Business Series Surveillance products provide customizable ways for small business
owners to monitor and protect their companies. These high-quality solutions can be optimized
for many different applications and sites. Each camera can be quickly mounted utilizing the
bracket included in the package. Its compact form factor also enables the camera to be put
inside a protective enclosure for interior or exterior installations. The camera uses removable
CS-mount lenses and can be customized with optional zoom, wide-angle, vari-focal, auto-iris, or
other type lenses as required for a specific application or setting.
The PVC2300 is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device so it can be powered from a PoE Switch
or power injector via Ethernet cabling. This enables installations near ceilings on rooftops or
anywhere where power outlets may not be available. The PVC2300 Camera can be mounted
on any Pan-Tilt (PT) base that supports the Pelco_D protocol and can be remotely rotated and
controlled through an RS-485 interface. The PVC2300 also has two input and two output ports
which can be used to connect the camera to an alarm panel, siren, Passive InfraRed (PIR) sensors,
smoke detectors, lighting switch (on/off), door sensors, etc.
The PVC2300 uses a high-quality progressive scan CCD Sensor delivering good quality video.
The CCD sensor also has low-light sensitivity so video can be captured even in very low light
environments or during“near dark”times of day. Additionally, the camera incorporates an IR Cut Filter
which, when used with a separate IR lamp, allows for video capture in total darkness.
The PVC2300 Camera supports dual codecs (MPEG-4 and MJPEG). Both codecs can be used
simultaneously. MPEG-4 gives efficient bandwidth consumption with good quality compression and
is optimal for real-time viewing of video. MJPEG gives optimal video quality with lossy compression
making it ideal for large volume storage to a NAS device.
The PVC2300’s audio capabilities include 2-way audio, embedded microphone, external speaker and
microphone ports, and voice compression. With extensive feature support like IP Multicast, RTSP, RTP, and
3GPP, video can be viewed from multiple endpoints and client applications like 3G phones, and Quicktime
clients on PCs or WiFi phones. Support for multiple network protocols like 802.1p priority, 802.1q VLANs,
and Dynamic DNS, make the solution ideal for multiple IP surveillance applications. The 2300-series cameras
can also be managed securely using HTTPS.
Linksys Business Series Surveillance Cameras are also Linksys One Ready. That means they include the
necessary firmware to be integrated into a Linksys One data or data/voice network.

interchangeable lenses,
and I/O ports allow for
flexible installation for
