Overview
The Cisco Video Surveillance 8020 (indoor) and 8030 (indoor/outdoor) IP Cameras are high-definition,
full-functioned video endpoints with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The cameras
are capable of 5MP resolution at 30 frames per second (fps) while optimizing network usage with H.264,
H.265, or MJPEG compression. Contact closures and two-way audio allow integration with
microphones, speakers, and access control systems. With their open, standards-based design, the
cameras provide ideal platforms for integration and operation as independent devices or as part of a
Cisco video surveillance network.
Key features and benefits of the Cisco Video Surveillance cameras include:
• True high-definition video—The cameras stream crisp and clear 5MP video at 30 fps while
maintaining low network bandwidth.
• Streaming—The cameras can stream H.264, H.265, and MJPEG video simultaneously. Each video
stream can be configured with individual resolution, quality, and frame-rate settings.
• Day/night operation—The cameras provide true day/night functionality, and include an infrared (IR)
filter that automatically switches to night mode in low-light scenes. This function can be set to
manual, automatic, or scheduled control.
• Flexible power option—The cameras support Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3af Class 0 for 8020
models, 802.3at Class 4 for 8030 models, and 12 VDC for both models.
• Mounting options—The cameras can be installed to either a ceiling or wall.

Hardware Installation
• The DO+ pin provides 5V output voltage, and the max. load is 50mA.
• The max. voltage for DO- pins is 80VDC (External power). In order to control AC devices, the above
diagram can be taken in consideration. The diagram uses a relay to control the ON/OFF condition
of the AC device.
• An external relay can be triggered by using DO+ or by an external power source, depending on the
type of relay you use.
• In case of using an individual relay (instead of using a relay module), for protection against voltage
or current spikes, a transient voltage suppression diode must be connected in parallel with the
inductive load.

Internet Connection via a Router
To set u p the camer a over t he Int ernet , make sure you have a router and follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect your camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated in Figure 1-6.
Cisco Video Surveillance 8020/8030 IP Camera Reference Guide
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Figure 1-6 Connecting the Camera Via a Router
Network Deployment
Step 2 In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your camera is 192.168.0.3, forward the
following ports for the camera on the router.:
• HTTP port: default is 80
• RTSP port: default is 554
• RTP port for video: default is 5556
• RTCP port for video: default is 5557
If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, open the ports accordingly on your router.
For information about how to forward ports on the router, see your router documentation.
Step 3 Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the camera from the Internet. See the “Network
> General settings” section on page 5-19 for more information.
Internet Connection with Static IP
Choose this connection type if you are required to use a static IP for the camera. See the “Network >
General settings” section on page 5-19 for more information.
Internet Connection via Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Choose this connection type if you are connected to the Internet via a DSL Line. See description of
PPPoE (Point-to-point over Ethernet) in the “Network Type Tab” section on page 5-19.
Cisco Video Surveillance 8020/8030 IP Camera Reference Guide

Auto Focus
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Configure the router, virtual server or firewall, so that the router can forward any data coming into a
preconfigured port number to a camera on the private network, and allow data from the camera to be
transmitted to the outside of the network over the same path.
From Forward to
122.146.57.120:8000 192.168.2.10:80
122.146.57.120:8001 192.168.2.11:80
... ...
When properly configured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP request such as:
http://122.146.57.120:8000.
If you change the port numbers on the Network configuration page, open the ports accordingly on your
router. For example, you can open a management session with your router to configure access through
the router to the camera within your local network. See your network administrator for router
configuration if you have troubles with the configuration.
For more information about network configuration options (such as that of streaming ports), choose
Configuration > Network Settings in the IP camera web-based interface. Cisco also provides the
automatic port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router
must support the UPnP port forwarding feature.
Auto Focus
On the web session, choose Configuration > Media > Image > Focus. Perform the Auto Focus function
for best image. However, if you have cascaded cameras, do this one by one. Do not perform this function
simultaneously on multiple cameras because the motorized lens also consume considerable power, and
may cause the last camera on the line to hang.
