The Cisco 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 network attached storage (NAS) device.
The Cisco PVC2300’s audio capabilities include two-way audio, embedded microphone, external speaker and
microphone ports, and voice compression. With extensive feature support, such as IP Multicast, Real Time
Streaming Protocol (RTSP), Real Time Protocol (RTP), and 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), video can
be viewed from multiple endpoints and client applications such as 3G phones and QuickTime clients on PCs or Wi-Fi
phones. Support for multiple network protocols such as 802.1p priority, 802.1q VLANs, and Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
make the solution ideal for multiple IP surveillance applications. The camera can also be managed securely using
HTTPS.
