Introduction
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).
Features
OL-14220-01
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.

Overview
Chapter 1 Introduction
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.
Security Features
• 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.
Wireless Features
• Standards compliant—The IP camera complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for
Wireless LANs.
1-2
• 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.

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.
