Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Cisco VC 220 Dome Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) 
Day/Night PoE Network Camera, a standalone camera that can be connected 
directly to an Ethernet network. The Cisco VC 220 provides 24-hour surveillance 
for indoor applications. The camera features day and night functions with a 
configurable IR-cut filter and IR illuminators. A 3-axis mechanism allows for flexible 
wall or ceiling installations in locations such as banks, office buildings, or 
commercial complexes.
In sunlight, the IR-cut filter is activated to minimize the influence of infrared light on 
image color. In the low-light conditions, the built-in IR illuminators are enabled to 
offer infrared light for up to 15 meters (50ft). Therefore, the Cisco VC 220 delivers 
high image quality in either day and night conditions. To prevent false alarms, a 
passive infrared (PIR) sensor is built in to detect objects by their thermal presence.
By enabling Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), the camera can compensate for 
challenging lighting conditions. Use WDR when there are both very bright and very 
dark areas simultaneously in the field of view of the camera. The WDR feature 
captures both the bright and dark parts of an image and combines the differences 
to generate a highly realistic image representative of the original scene. The video 
quality achieved is close to the capabilities of the human eye. WDR is widely 
applied in high contrast environments such as lobby entrances, parking lots, ATMs, 
or loading areas. 
NOTE
Before installing a surveillance system, check with local government agencies to 
determine if video surveillance and audio monitoring are permitted in your area.
