Chapter 2 Getting Started

Installing the Cisco Video Surveillance 2630 IP Dome

• Run a power cable from a 24 VAC power adapter to the mounting location.

Use a cable gauge that is appropriate for the distance from the IP dome to the power supply (consult a qualified electrician for more information). The terminal connectors on the IP dome support gauges from 14 AWG to 24 AWG. At the end of the wire that attaches to the IP dome, strip enough cable housing to allow each wire to be stripped to 1/4 inch (6.25 mm).

Note To achieve IP66 rated protection for the IP dome when mounting outdoors, you must use the

conduit base (CIVS-IPCA-1006=) or Pendant Cap (CIVS-IPCA-1010=) mounting accessory.

• If you will connect an external speaker, microphone, or both to the IP dome, run audio cable from

each device to the mounting location.

To attach the audio cable to the IP dome, you will need the white snap on ferrite core and audio Y

cable that are included in the optional audio/video cables accessory kit, which you can purchase from Cisco (Cisco part number CIVS-IPCA-1017=). Attach the white snap on ferrite core to the audio Y where the cable connects to the IP dome. To do so, lift the tabs to open the ferrite core, pass the cable through the ferrite core (do not loop the cable), then snap the ferrite core shut to secure it on the cable. See

Table 3-9 Video Window Options (continued)

Option Description

Validation Time If the Switch Mode option is set to Auto, specify the time that the camera

waits before switching Day/Night modes. The light level must continually exceed the threshold for the duration of the validation time to trigger a transition between the modes.

For example, if the Validation Time is set to 5 seconds and the current light level exceeds the Night/Day Threshold for 5 seconds, the camera switches mode. However, if the light level falls below the threshold during the Validation Time, the timer resets and the camera remains in the same mode.

The default value for Validation Time is 2 seconds.

Note If a camera experiences lighting conditions that cause it to switch

continuously between Day and Night modes three times within 20 minutes (as the result of a low light scene with excessive IR illumination or the thresholds being configured too close together), the camera locks in to its last state for 20 minutes.

For example, if the first transition is from Day to Night, the camera will switch from Day to Night to Day to Night and then remain in Night mode for 20 minutes. If the first transition is from Night to Day, the camera will switch from Night to Day to Night to Day and then remain in Day mode for 20 minutes.

To unlock the 20 minute hold period, manually configure the camera to Day mode, then Night mode, then Day mode, and then Auto mode.

Day to Night Threshold If the Switch Mode option is set to Auto, choose the value that specifies the

relative light threshold at which the IP camera switches from day to night mode. A lower value designates that the IP camera switches from day to night mode in brighter conditions. A higher value designated that the IP camera switches modes in darker conditions. The default value is 24 for all presets.

Night to Day Threshold If the Switch Mode option is set to Auto, choose the value that specifies the

relative light threshold at which the IP camera switches from night to day mode. A lower value designates that the IP camera switches from night to day mode in darker conditions. A higher value designated that the IP camera switches modes in lighter conditions. The default value is 6 for Outdoor preset and 16 for Normal, Indoor, Fluorescent and Metal Halide.

Start Time If the Switch Mode option is set to Night Schedule, enter the time (in 24 hour

format) when the camera enters Night mode.

End Time If the Switch Mode option is set to Night Schedule, enter the time (in 24 hour

format) when camera exits Night mode.

messages and event video files, these actions will not occur until you associate them to an event trigger as described in the “Event Window” section on page 3-31.

An event notification message can provide a link to an FTP server from which you can download an associated event video file to a local PC. The event video file name is:

camera-name-event_name-yymmdd-hhmmss.xxx

where:

• camera-name is the name of the IP camera, as configured in the Camera Name field in the Basic

Setup window.

• event-name describes the event that caused the alert. For motion detection events, this field is the

name of the video field area in which motion was detected (for example, Window 2). For input events, this field is input1 or input2, depending on which input port the event was detected.

• yymmdd is the 2-digit year, month, and date on which the event occurred.

• hhmmss is the, hours, minutes, and seconds at which the event occurred.

• xxx is the format of the file (asf, mp4, or 3gp), as configured in the Video Format (MPSG-4) field in

the Event window.

By default, the video in an event video file starts when an event starts and ends 5 seconds after the event ends. You can designate that additional video be included before and after an event as described in the

–

Sensitivity—Designates the relative change in luminance that the camera must detect for motion detection. A lower value means that more change is required for motion detection.

–

Threshold—Designates the percentage of the motion inclusion region that the camera must detect motion to generate an alert. The camera detects motion using the defined sensitivity level.

–

Activity Level—Display only. Horizontal bar that represents how much activity is being detected in the area. Test and adjust the sensitivity by looking at this indicator.

The Event window provides options for configuring how the IP camera handles events. An event is either of the following:

• Motion that the IP camera detects. For related information about motion detection, see the “Motion

Detection Window” section on page 3-30.

• A change of state from low to high or from high to low on an input port of the IP camera. For related

information about input ports, see the

“Alarm I/O Ports Window” section on page 3-35.

When an event occurs, it triggers the IP camera to take certain configured actions. For example, an event can cause the IP camera to send a notification e-mail message to designated recipients and upload a video file to an SMTP server or an FTP server, or it can cause the IP camera to activate an output port.

The Event window allows you to designate up to 10 schedules. If an event takes place within a designated schedule, the IP camera takes the actions that you configure.

Syslog & Log Window

The Syslog & Log window lets you manage the IP camera log file, which captures and stores information about the IP camera and its activities.

The IP camera captures the information that you specify and stores the log file in its internal SDRAM. If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera begins to overwrite existing information. To prevent this situation, configure the IP camera to send log information to a Syslog server and periodically clear log information from SDRAM manually by using the Clear Log option in the Syslog & Log window.

Note The camera also maintains a video log file. For more information, see the “Video Log Window” section

on page 3-44.

Possible Cause You are not using a supported PC operating system or web browser, you entered an

incorrect IP address for the IP camera, the PC that you are using is not on the same LAN as the IP camera, you are entering an invalid port number for an HTTP or HTTPS connection, or you are trying to access the IP camera from a device with an IP address that is restricted from access.

Recommended Action Make sure that you are using a PC that is running Microsoft Windows 2000,

XP, or Vista and that your are using Internet Explorer 6.x with Service Pack 2, or later. Make sure that you enter the correct IP address. If you are connecting through a LAN, make sure that the PC is on the same network as the IP camera. If you are connecting through the Internet, make sure to enter the correct port number. Make sure that the device does not have an IP address that is restricted from access (see the

“IP Filter Window” section on page 3-10.)

OL-24130-02

Symptom Cannot log in to the IP camera as the administrator.

Possible Cause You are entering the log in credentials incorrectly or have forgotten the administrator

password.

Recommended Action The administrator user name is admin and the password is the one that you

configured. Both credentials are case sensitive, so make sure to enter them exactly as they are configured. If you forget the administrator password, you must perform a factory reset as described in the

“Resetting the IP Camera” procedure on page 2-19, then reconfigure the IP camera. If you

take these actions, do not use the Upload option in the Maintenance window to reload a saved configuration file because that process restores the password that you forgot.

Symptom Configuration windows do not display when you click the Setup link in the Main window.

Possible Cause You or another user recently exited the configuration windows by exiting a browser

without first clicking the Logout button. In this case, it can take up to 2 minutes before the configuration windows become available.

Recommended Action Wait 2 minutes and try again.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting

Symptom The motion detection feature does not send e-mail alerts.

Possible Cause The e-mail alert feature is not properly configured or the SMTP server that the IP

camera uses to send the e-mail may be filtering e-mail to prevent spam from being sent from your server.

Recommended Action Configure e-mail alerts as described in the “Basic Setup Window” section on

page 3-5, the “Mail/FTP/HTTP Window” section on page 3-27, and the “Event Window” section on page 3-31. Try using a different SMTP server or contact your ISP to see if SMTP access is being

blocked.

Symptom The motion detection feature is configured but video files that are provided in e-mail alerts do

not show moving objects.

Possible Cause The motion detection feature does not actually detect motion. It compares frames to

see if they are different. Major differences between frames are assumed to be caused by moving objects, but the motion detector can also be triggered by sudden changes in light level or movement of the IP camera itself.

Recommended Action Try to avoid situations with sudden changes in light level and do not bump or

move the IP camera. The motion detection feature works best when the IP camera is mounted securely in locations where there is steady. This feature may not work properly if the IP camera is outdoors.

Symptom Blurry images when viewing video.

Possible Cause The lens may be dirty, back focus may not be adjusted properly, or video settings may

not be configured for optimal clarity.

Recommended Action Clean the lens on the IP camera. Adjust the focus as described in the “Adjusting

the Video Image” section on page 2-17. Configure options for video as described in the “Video Window” section on page 3-16.

Using the IP Camera with Cisco VSM

Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM) is a suite of powerful and flexible video surveillance applications that interoperate with a wide range of devices and cameras to provide a complete, standards-based video surveillance solution. VSM consists of modules to manage, archive, view, and distribute video.

The following guidelines apply when you use the IP camera with VSM:

• Obtaining the Required Driver Pack

To use the IP camera with VSM, you must download and install a driver pack. For information about this driver pack, refer to your VSM documentation, which is available here:

http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/ps/products.html#netcentric

• The IP camera must be installed and configured as described in Chapter 2, “Getting Started.”

• You must to create a separate user account with administrator privileges for each Media Server.

Configuration connections for a Media Server are limited just as they are for user sessions. Viewing and managing video streams from VSM requires administrator-level privileges.

For information about how to configure a user account, see the “Video Window” section on

page 3-16.

• A user with administrator privileges cannot be logged in to the IP camera and use VSM at the same

time

OL-24130-02

• Cisco recommends that you configure video resolution (NTSC or PAL) from the IP camera

configuration windows.

For instructions, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-16.
