Cisco
®
 offers network-centric video surveillance software and hardware that supports video transmission, monitoring, recording, 
and management. Cisco video surveillance solutions work in unison with the advanced features and functions of the IP network  
infrastructure—switches, routers, and other network security devices—to enable secure, policy-based access to live or recorded  
video. With support for many third-party video surveillance cameras, encoders, and applications, Cisco video surveillance solutions 
allows customers to build best-in-class video surveillance systems that optimize cost, performance, and capability.
Cisco video surveillance products are deployed within the Cisco Intelligent Converged Environment architecture. Through this  
architecture, video can be accessed at any time from any place, enabling real-time incident response, investigation, and resolution. 
As an extension of the Cisco Self-Defending Network, the Cisco Intelligent Converged Environment enables customers to use existing 
investments in video surveillance and physical security while enhancing the safety of people and protection of assets. The open,  
standards-based Cisco infrastructure enables the deployment and control of new security applications and maximizes the value of 
live and recorded video.
Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System Overview
As a complementary component of the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server 
solution, the Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System provides flexible options for 
storing video and audio using cost-effective, IT-caliber storage devices. 
The Storage System allows the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server’s internal 
storage to be combined with direct attached storage (DAS) and storage area 
networks (SANs). As a result, video can be efficiently secured and accessed 
wherever it is needed, either locally or in a remote location. Video can be stored in 
loops, one-time archives, or event clips triggered by alarm systems to maximize 
storage utilization. 
The Storage System enables operations managers to institute video lifecycle man-
agement rules to ensure availability of the data. Video can be stored in redundant 
systems or in remote long-term archives to ensure the video is available when 
required. Through the scalable Cisco video storage architecture, storage can be 
expanded as your system requirements grow.
