IP Camera Features

The Cisco Video Surveillance IP Camera offers a feature-rich digital camera solution for a video
surveillance system. The camera provides high-definition (HD) video and simultaneous H.264 and
MJPEG compression, streaming up to 30 frames per second (fps) at 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution.

In addition, the IP camera provides networking and security capabilities, including multicast support,
hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and hardware-based Data Encryption
Standard/Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES/3DES) encryption. The camera can be powered through
an external power supply or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).

CHAPTER

1

OL-28691-01

The IP camera includes the following key features:

• H.264 and MJPEG compression—The IP camera can generate H.264 and MJPEG streams

simultaneously.

• Progressive scan video—The IP camera captures each frame at its entire resolution using

progressive scan rather than interlaced video capture, which captures each field of video.

• Analog video output—Supports analog video for all resolutions with 15 fps or lower with no

secondary stream.

• Medianet—The IP camera supports the Auto Smartports feature of the Media Services Interface

(MSI). MSI enables a camera to participate as an endpoint in the Cisco medianet architecture when
connected to a medianet enabled switch.

• Day/night switch support—An IR-cut filter provides increased sensitivity in low-light conditions.

• Multi-protocol support—Supports these protocols: DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, NTP, RTP, RTSP,

SMTP, SNMP v2 and v3, SSL/TLS, and TCP/IP.

• Web-based management—You perform ongoing administration and management of the IP camera

through web-based configuration menus.

Accessing the IP Camera

Chapter 1 Overview

• Motion detection—The IP camera can detect motion in user-designated fields of view by analyzing

changes in pixels and generate an alert if motion is detected.

• Flexible scheduling—You can configure the IP camera to respond to events that occur within a

designated schedule.

• Syslog support—The IP camera can send log data to a Syslog server.

• IP address filter—You can designate IP addresses that can access the IP camera and IP addresses

that cannot access the IP camera.

• User-definable HTTP/ HTTPS port number—Allows you to define the port that is used to

connect to the camera through the Internet.

• DHCP support—The IP camera can automatically obtain its IP addresses in a network in which

DHCP is enabled.

• Network Time Protocol (NTP) support—Allows the IP camera to calibrate its internal clock with

a local or Internet time server.

• Support for C and CS mount lenses—The IP camera supports a variety of C and CS mount lenses.

• Power options—The IP camera can be powered with 12 volts DC or 24 volts AC, which is provided

through an optional external power adapter, or through PoE (802.3af), which is provided through a
supported switch.

• Camera access control—You can control access to IP camera configuration windows and live

video by configuring various user types and log in credentials.

Accessing the IP Camera

After you perform the initial configuration as described in the Chapter 2, “Performing the Initial Setup

Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera

After you install the IP camera, or after you perform a factory reset procedure, you must access the IP
camera and make initial configuration settings. These settings include administrator and root passwords,
and whether the IP camera can be accessed through an HTTP connection in addition to the default
HTTPS (HTTP secure) connection.

To make these configuration settings, you connect to the IP camera from any PC that is on the same
network as the IP camera. The PC must meet these requirements:

• Operating system—Microsoft Windows 7 Enterprise (32-bit or 64-bit)

• Browser—Internet Explorer 8.0 (32-bit only)

In addition, you must know the IP address and default login credentials of the IP camera. By default,
when the IP camera powers on, it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in your network.
If the camera cannot obtain an IP address through DCHP within 90 seconds, it uses a default IP address
of 192.168.0.100. The default login credentials (Username/Password) are admin/admin.

video field for activity.

You can configure the following items for this video field:

• Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the IP camera

must detect in the area before it generates an alert. A lower value means
that more, or faster, activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value
means that less, or slower, activity is required. The default value is 80.

• Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the IP camera must

identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera
monitors for pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default
threshold value is 10.

To configure sensitivity or threshold, right-click anywhere in the video field

Feature Setup

The Feature Setup windows let you configure a variety of IP camera features and functions. The
following sections describe the Feature Setup windows in detail:

• Streaming Window, page 4-1

• Camera Window, page 4-6

• Video Overlay Window, page 4-8

• IO Ports Window, page 4-9

• Event Notification Window, page 4-10

Streaming Window

The Streaming window provides options for configuring video streams from the IP camera. You can
configure settings for the primary and an optional secondary video stream.

Configuring a secondary stream is useful for providing a video stream that is at a lower resolution than
the primary stream to third-party devices or software.

The primary stream supports H.264 for video. The secondary stream supports MJPEG for video.

CHAPTER

OL-28691-01

When configuring video streams, be aware of the following guidelines:

• You cannot configure a secondary stream (channel 2) if you configure the resolution for the primary

stream (channel 1) to 1920 x 1080.

• You cannot configure the resolution for the primary stream to 1920 x 1080 if a secondary stream is

enabled.

• The resolution of the primary stream must be higher than the resolution of the secondary stream.

• You cannot configure a maximum frame rate of 30 for the primary stream if the secondary stream

is enabled.

• Multiple secondary frame rates are supported. Table 4-1 shows the frame rate combinations of

primary and secondary streams with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and Tab le 4-2 shows the frame rate
combinations of primary and secondary streams with a 4:3 aspect ratio. If a secondary frame rate
that is not shown in this table is selected in Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, the IP camera uses
the closest available frame rate.

Maintenance Window

The Maintenance window provides options for setting or restarting the IP camera, saving configuration
information from the IP camera, and uploading the configuration information to the IP camera.

Saving and uploading configuration is useful for these activities:

• Configuring multiple IP cameras—If your network includes several IP cameras that should have

similar configurations, you can configure one IP camera, save that configuration, and upload it to
other IP cameras. Then, instead of manually configuring all options on each IP camera, you
manually configure only the options that are unique, such as the IP address, if not obtained from
DHCP.

• Backing up configuration—If you save the configuration from the IP camera, you can upload it to

the IP camera to restore the configuration if it is lost, or if you can upload it to a replacement IP
camera, if needed.

To display the Maintenance window, perform the following steps:

• Viewer—Can access the Camera Video & Control window with limited

controls, and can access the Refresh, Logout, About, and Help links

Log Configuration

The Log windows let you set up and view the IP camera log file, which captures information about the
IP camera and its activities.

The IP camera stores the log file in its internal SDRAM. If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera
begins to overwrite existing information. To avoid losing log information, you can configure the IP
camera to send log information to a Syslog server.

Caution Because the logs are stored in the internal camera SDRAM, all existing logs in the camera are lost after

a camera reboot, power-up, or power-down.

The following sections describe the Log windows in detail:

• Log Setup Window, page 7-1

• Local Log Window, page 7-4
