Overview

This chapter describes the Cisco Video Surveillance 6020 IP Camera, and includes the following topics:

• Introduction, page 1-1

• Package Contents, page 1-2

• IP Camera Physical Details, page 1-3

The Cisco Video Surveillance 6020 IP camera is an indoor, high definition, professional fixed dome IP

camera with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The 2 megapixel (MP) IP camera offers 1080p full HD resolution with superb image quality up to 30 frames per second (fps) while optimizing network usage with either H.264 or MJPEG compression. It can capture a much more comprehensive area than a standard VGA model, significantly reducing the number of units required. It is especially suitable for monitoring indoor spaces such as building entrances, retail spaces or applications requiring accurate identification.

For installers, properly adjusting the focus of an HD IP camera can be difficult due to the image detail. To make installation and adjustment easier, the 6020 IP camera incorporates built-in stepping motors that the installer can use to remotely control the focal length and precisely adjust the camera focus, offering hassle-free installation and maintenance.

OL-28120-02

For complete installation and tampering prevention, the 6020 IP camera also allows for different mounting options such as surface, vandal-resistant, and flush mount. Additionally, the metal vandal-resistant housing option effectively provides robust protection against vandalism.

With other advanced features such as 802.3af compliant PoE, micro SD/SDHC card for local storage, and e-PTZ functionality, the 6020 IP camera provides the most robust solution suitable for any demanding indoor environment.

Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera

After you install IP camera as described in the Chapter 2, “Camera Installation,” 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 (32-bit and 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.

To connect to the IP camera for the first time and make initial configuration settings, perform the following steps. You can change these configuration settings in the future as described in the Cisco Video Surveillance 6000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.

OL-28120-02

accessing the IP camera through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.

! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~.

You use the root password if you need to troubleshoot the IP camera through a SSH connection with the assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Step 5 In the Access Protocols area, check the Enable HTTP check box if you want to allow both HTTP and

HTTPS connections to the IP camera.

By default, only the Enable HTTPS check box is checked, which allows only HTTPS (secure) connections to the IP camera.

Step 6 Click Apply.

The IP camera reboots and the Login window appears.

Step 7 After the IP camera reboots, start Internet Explorer and, in the Address field, enter the following:

protocol://ip_address

Managing the Local Storage

The 6000 Series IP cameras have an SD card slot that can support an optional SD memory card (up to 8 GB) for local storage purposes. If local storage is available on an IP camera and the camera loses network connectivity, video data storage switches to the local SD memory card.

For security purposes, video data stored on the SD memory card is encrypted. To view the encrypted video, you must decrypt it to H.264 or MP4 format. Encrypted files cannot be decrypted directly from an SD memory card on an IP camera; before they can be decrypted, they must either be downloaded to your PC, or the SD memory card must be moved from the IP camera to your PC.

The Cisco SD Utility allows you to manage the SD memory card and to decrypt the encrypted video data on the card. The utility can be downloaded from Cisco.com and installed on your PC. For more information see the

Note Note You cannot manage an SD memory card using the camera firmware or Cisco Video Surveillance

Manager (VSM); you must use the Cisco SD Utility.
