Cisco Small Business PVC300 Pan Tilt Optical Zoom

Internet Camera

No one can be everywhere at once. But for a small business owner, knowing what’s happening in your storefront, warehouse, or parking lot at all times can make a difference in your company’s physical and financial security. Whether you need to monitor your premises entrance, view employees as they work, guard against theft and vandalism during off-hours, or simply protect your business in the event of a workplace accident, you need effective remote video surveillance.

The Cisco Small Business PVC300 Pan Tilt Optical Zoom Internet Camera

The Cisco ® Small Business PVC300 Pan Tilt Optical Zoom Internet Camera provides a featurerich, highly flexible video solution for your business. It provides full pan, tilt, and optical zoom capabilities (Figure 1) to let you monitor any aspect of your business operations and virtually manage multiple sites from a central location. As an intelligent IP solution, the Cisco PVC300 also offers a wealth of advanced security, monitoring, and alerting capabilities that go far beyond what conventional closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems can provide. The Cisco Small Business

PVC300 Internet camera lets you:

● Integrate alarms, door sensors, motion detectors, and other business and security systems into your video solution

● View live video of your business from anywhere, using an Internet-enabled PC or mobile phone

● Receive automatic alerts (including video clips or still images) whenever motion is detected on your premises after hours

● Locate specific dates, times, or incidents in your video archives in seconds, instead of having to manually pore over hours of analog video

● Easily and cost-effectively add new cameras, video storage, and security applications as your business evolves

None of these capabilities are possible with conventional CCTV systems that rely on analog video technology and proprietary, self-contained networks. The Cisco PVC300 Internet camera delivers all of them over the IP network you already have in place. With complete video monitoring and management software included, the Cisco PVC300 provides a complete state-of-the-art video solution, at a price small businesses can afford.

Features and Benefits

The Cisco Small Business PVC300 Pan Tilt Optical Zoom Internet Camera provides:

● Optimal camera control: The Cisco PVC300 features 2.6x optical zoom and a Sony progressive-scan charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor that provides exceptional image quality even in low light. With full pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, you can remotely monitor your business from virtually any angle, providing a cost-effective alternative to deploying multiple fixed cameras.

● Remote accessibility: With an IP surveillance solution, you can access real-time video from any Internet-connected PC or mobile phone, and virtually manage your business’s security and operational efficiency from anywhere.

● Advanced application support: The Cisco PVC300 features an integrated speaker output and microphone for two-way audio, as well as input/output ports to support a variety of applications. You can link your PVC300 video surveillance system with door sensors, motion sensors, alarms, lighting systems, phone systems, or virtually any other business system.

● Easy installation: The Cisco PVC300 includes easy-to-install ceiling brackets and Powerover-Ethernet (PoE) support, so you can power and control the camera with a single cable.

The intuitive graphical user interface in the included video software makes it easy to deploy cameras and sensor systems and set up intelligent alerts.

● Included video monitoring software: Other IP surveillance systems require separate video monitoring software that can cost as much as $1500. The Cisco PVC300 includes a complete monitoring suite at no extra cost that lets you easily configure and control up to 16 cameras.

● A complete surveillance solution: The Cisco PVC300 is part of a growing family of IP surveillance cameras designed as a fully integrated component of your Cisco Small

Business network. With a full portfolio of small business routing and switching, data storage, and telephony technologies, Cisco can provide a comprehensive video, voice, and data solution for your business.
