This chapter provides an overview of the IP camera and its features. It also describes what is included with the camera.
This chapter includes these topics:
•Overview, page 1-1
•Physical Details, page 1-3
•Package Contents, page 1-5
•CS Mount Lens, page 1-5
The Cisco Video Surveillance IP Camera provides a high-quality digital solution for a video surveillance system. The camera provides high-quality, bandwidth-efficient video capture and transmission, with support for D1 resolution, motion-triggered viewing, and MPEG-4 encoding. It may be used as a standalone camera or as part of a Cisco Video Surveillance system, with support for wired and wireless deployments, and supports integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The camera provides embedded security and networking capabilities, including 802.1X authentication, hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard/Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES/3DES) encryption, and multicast support.
•Stream live video to multiple users—An MPEG4 encoder built into the camera generates a ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the camera using your web browser or the provided Windows utility to view live video.
•Night/day switch support—Supporting IR-cut filter, the IP camera can obtain better video quality even in the nighttime.
•Two-way audio communication—An external microphone and an external speaker (not included), a person in the monitoring office can talk to people on site while viewing images on screen.
•Suitable for home, business, or public facilities—Provides features for a variety of applications.
•Multi-protocol support—Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and other Internet-related protocols, the IP camera can be easily integrated into your existing network.

Introduction |
Overview
EFT DRAFT — CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
•Easy configuration—A Windows-based wizard is provided for initial set up. Subsequent administration and management can be performed using a standard web browser. The administrator can configure and manage the IP camera through a web browser.
•Viewing/recording utility—A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for viewing live video. For periods when you are absent or for scheduled recording, this application also allows you to record video to an ASF file on your PC. The recorded files are in a standard Windows Media format and can be used by a wide variety of programs, if required.
•Motion Detection—This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The IP camera compares consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large objects. Motion detection alarms can be triggered via e-mail, FTP, instant messaging, or an external alarm device.
•Flexible Scheduling—You can limit access to the video stream to specified times by using a flexible scheduling system. The motion detection feature can also have its own schedule, so it is active only when required.
•Syslog support—The IP camera can send its log data to a Syslog server.
•Audio support—Audio is encoded with the video if desired. You can use an external microphone to capture audio.
•WMM support—Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is based on the IEEE 802.11e standard. It provides basic Quality of Service (QoS) features to IEEE 802.11 networks. Voice and multimedia traffic are given higher priority than other traffic.
•IP filter—Use the IP Filter to block or accept access to the IP addresses.
•User-definable HTTP/ HTTPS port number—Allows Internet Gateways to use port mapping so that the IP camera and a web server can share the same IP address.
•DDNS support—To view video over the Internet, users must know the IP address of the gateway used by the IP camera. But if the gateway has a dynamic IP address, Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is required. Because many gateways do not support DDNS, this function is provided by the IP camera.
•Network Time Protocol (NTP) support—NTP allows the IP camera to calibrate its internal clock from an Internet time server. This capability ensures that the time stamp on video from the IP camera will be correct.
•User authentication—If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users. A user must enter a username and password before being able to view the video stream. Up to 10 users can be entered simultaneously.
•Password-protected configuration—Configuration data can be password protected so that it be changed only by the IP camera administrator.
•Standards compliant—The IP camera complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
•Supports 802.11b and 802.11g standards—The IP camera supports both 802.11b and 802.11g standards.
•Speeds to 54 Mbps—All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54 Mbps are supported.
•Wired and wireless network support—The IP camera supports wired and wireless transmission.

This chapter provides instructions for installing and performing the initial setup of the IP camera. This chapter includes these topics:
•System Requirements, page 2-1
•Installing the IP Camera, page 2-1
•Performing the Initial Set Up of the IP Camera, page 2-2
To use the wired LAN interface, a standard 10/100BaseT hub or switch and network cable is required.
To use the wireless interface on the IP camera, other wireless devices must be compliant with the IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g specifications. All wireless stations must use compatible settings.
Note The default wireless settings are:
•Mode—Infrastructure
•ESSID—ANY
•Wireless Security—Disabled
•Domain—USA
•Channel No.—Auto
To install the IP camera, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Assemble the Camera
Screw the supplied antenna to the mounting point on the rear of the camera.

Step 2 Connect the LAN Cable
Connect the IP camera to a 10/100BaseT hub or switch using a standard LAN cable.
Note This step disables the wireless interface on the camera because only one interface can be active.
The LAN cable should be connected or disconnected only when the camera is powered off. Attaching or detaching the LAN cable while the camera is powered on does not switch the interface between wired and wireless.
Step 3 Power on the camera.
Connect the a 12Vpower adapter to the IP camera and power up.
Step 4 Check the LEDs:
•The Ready LED turns on briefly then starts blinking. It blinks during start up, which takes 15 to 20 seconds. After startup completes, the Ready LED should remain on.
•The Network LED should be on.
For more information about the LEDs on the camera, see the“Physical Details” section on page 1-3.
Performing the Initial Set Up of the IP Camera
You perform the initial set up of the IP camera using the supplied Windows-based setup wizard. This program can locate the IP camera even if its IP address is invalid for your network. You can then configure the IP camera with appropriate TCP/IP settings for your LAN.
Subsequent administration can be performed through your web browser, as explained in Chapter 5, “Managing an IP Camera through the Web.”
To perform the initial set up of the IP camera, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Put the supplied CD-ROM into the disk drive.
If the setup program does not start automatically, navigate to the root folder on the disk and click wvc2300.exe.
Step 2 In the Welcome window, click Click Here to Start.
Step 3 In the License Agreement window, read the license agreement and click Next if you agree with the terms and want to continue with the installation.
If you do not agree with the terms, click Cancel to stop the installation.
Step 4 Follow the instructions in the Connection 1 window to connect a network cable to your network router or switch and click Next.
Step 5 Follow the instructions in the Connection 2 window to connect the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port on the camera and click Next.
Step 6 Follow the instructions in the Connection3 window to connect the included power adapter to the power port on the camera and plug the other end of the cable into an electrical outlet, then click Next.
