Overview

This chapter describes the Cisco Video Surveillance 6400 High-Definition IP Camera, and includes the
following topics:

• Introduction, page 1-1

• Package Contents, page 1-2

• IP Camera Physical Details, page 1-2

The Cisco Video Surveillance 6400 IP camera offers 1080p HD resolution with superb image quality.
The 6400 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 6400 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 6400 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 6400 also offers activity adaptive streaming support that dynamically allocates
bandwidth according to the video content and trigger state.

OL-28494-01

Aimed at outdoor surveillance, the 6400 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
am automatic IR-cut filter and IR illuminators for superior image quality around the clock. The 6400
also comes with an IP66-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 6400 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 6400 is a full-fledged surveillance solution for outdoor environments.

6400 IP Camera, and includes the following topics:

• Installation Guidelines, page 2-1

• Warnings Before Installation, page 2-2

Installation Guidelines

CHAP T ER

2

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 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 6000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.

• If you do not connect an external device (input, output, or pan/tilt control) when you perform the

following installation procedure, you can install any of these devices later.
