It features an industry-standard dust- and moisture-resistant enclosure that is ideal for indoor and outdoor environments and places where moisture or dust might be of concern, such as manufacturing shop floors. The Cisco VC240 offers a wide dynamic range (WDR), so you can use just one camera in many situations for day and night surveillance. It works smoothly with your existing network to provide local and remote video monitoring. As part of a complete IP solution, this versatile camera can help your business see more ways to improve operations, safety, and security. The Cisco VC240 lets you:
- View live video and audio of your business from anywhere, regardless of light level day or night, using an Internet-connected PC or mobile phone;

- Receive automatic alerts, including video clips or still images, whenever motion is detected on your premises;
- Mount the rugged indoor/outdoor camera on a ceiling or wall;
- Rapidly search video archives, and configure and control your camera with the included video monitoring software.

The Cisco VC240 Bullet Network Camera provides:
- Superior camera quality and control: The Cisco VC240 features a WDR complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor and built-in infrared (IR) LEDs and IR cut filter for optimal image quality, regardless of light level day or night. Its bullet form factor lets you focus on a specific area of your business, such as a door or cash register, to safeguard sensitive locations or to perform analytics such as counting the number of people coming in and out of your business, and at what times.
- Remote monitoring: The Cisco VC240 lets you access real-time video and audio from any Internet-connected PC, mobile phone, or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) audio/video (AV) client. Its remote accessibility lets you enjoy peace of mind when you are away from the office.

- Rich application support: The Cisco VC240 supports two-way audio and input/output ports to support a variety of applications. You can link the camera surveillance system to door and motion sensors, alarms, lighting systems, or phone systems. In addition, you can add the Cisco Advanced Video Monitoring System (AVMS) software to integrate the solution with business systems such as point-of-sale (POS) equipment, perform count and analyze activities, search POS data, and retrieve video for particular transactions.
- Fast, simple installation: The Cisco VC240 is easy to install on a wall or ceiling. It features Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, so you can power and control the camera with just one network cable. Easy to set up, an 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 costly video monitoring software. The Cisco VC240 includes-at no extra charge-a complete monitoring suite that lets you easily configure and control up to 16 cameras at once.
