Warning

An electrical short in the back box may occur if the metal BNC connector on the video coaxial cable
is not completely covered by the protective boot.

Step 7 Perform one of the following options:

• View video using both analog and IP connections—Connect the video coaxial cable from the back

box circuit board to the coaxial cable coming in from the outside. Make sure that the BNC connector
is completely covered by the protective boot.

• View video using only the IP connection—Make sure that the BNC connector is completely covered

by the protective boot and is out of the way of the back box door.

Step 8 Before closing the interconnect door, ensure that no wires are between the top of the heat sink standoff

and the back box (see

Figure 1-8).

Both the video coaxial cable and the Ethernet cable need to be routed carefully to ensure clearance for
the heat sink standoff.

Primary Stream and Secondary Stream

Live Video Page

QuickView Stream

The primary stream and secondary stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image
rate, and bit rate settings. The streams can be set up using a video preset setting, or they can be
customized using the video configuration settings.

A video preset is a predefined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance
and bandwidth usage. For easy stream configuration, use the Video Preset page located in the drop-down
menu of the A/V Streams Tab.

To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream use the Video Configuration page located in the
drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab. Configurable settings include the stream name, compression
standard, resolution setting, image rate, and bit rate. The default names for the streams are Primary
Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names have been changed, the new names will
replace the default names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.

The QuickView stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with VGA resolution. This low resolution,
low frame rate stream is displayed when the Imaging Tab settings are configured. This allows users to
view changes to exposure, white balance, and tone map settings as they are configured and before the
settings are saved.

The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth
limitations that might cause a high resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.

The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream. The only stream setting
that is selectable is the framerate: 2 ips or 1 ips.

Unicast

OL-24281-01

A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although
multiple users might request the same data from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams
are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera consumes additional
processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.

The camera supports a maximum of 20 simultaneous users.

Cisco Video Surveillance IP PTZ Dome Camera User Guide, Cisco 2900 Series IP Dome

2-5

Live Video Page

Multicast

A multicast transmission sends data to multiple users at the same time using one transmission stream.
Each multicast user that connects to the camera consumes no additional processing power; therefore,
multicast video streams can be sent to an unlimited number of simultaneous users.

Taking a Snapshot

Step 1 Click the “Take a Snapshot” button.

The File Download dialog box opens, and the following message appears: “Do you want to open or save
this file?”

Step 2 Select one of the following options:

• Open—Your computer’s photo editing program opens and displays the screen image. This function

is available only when using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 (or later).

• Save—The image is saved as a JPEG file on your computer.

• Cancel—The captured image is not saved or displayed and the dialog box closes.

Chapter 2 Operation

Note If you are using JPEG, the captured image will be the size of the largest MJPEG stream. If you

are using MPEG-4 or H.264, the image is captured using the QuickView Stream, which is
approximately VGA resolution.

Displaying Video in the Multiscreen View

Devices connected to the same virtual local area network (VLAN) as the device to which you are logged
on can be displayed in a multiscreen view. Use the 4-camera, 9-camera, or 16-camera view mode buttons
to display video from multiple devices simultaneously.

The device you are logged on to is the default display for the upper-left video pane in the multiscreen
view. The device name is displayed in the gray area near the top of the page.

Note Using Primary and Secondary streams in multiscreen view will limit the available processing power and

create responsiveness issues for the device and PC. If you experience latency issues, set the device
streams to QuickView. Available processing power is determined by the settings for compression
standards, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and analytic configuration.

To select video to display in the individual multiscreen panes:

2-6

Step 1 Click the desired View Mode display button.

Step 2 Click the Show Device List button above the selected video pane.

SSL Settings

To ensure security on the Internet, all Web browsers provide several security levels that can be adjusted
for sites that use SSL technology to transmit data. SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult for
unauthorized users to intercept and view user names and passwords.

SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the Web browser accessing the camera has the required
authentication. The camera can generate a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a
certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign), or it can generate a self-signed certificate
using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.

192.168.0.20 on subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is automatically assigned to the camera. After the
first camera is connected and assigned the default IP address, the system will automatically look
for other cameras on the auto IP address system and assign IP addresses in sequential order as
required. For example, if three cameras are connected to a network without a DHCP server, the
first camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.20, the second camera will be assigned address

192.168.0.21, and the third camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.22.

A/V Streams Tab

Use the A/V Streams tab to configure the video and audio streams for the camera. The A/V Streams tab
includes a Video Presets page, a Video Configuration page, and an Audio Configuration page.

A/V Streams Tab

Video Presets

The Video Preset page includes three fully-configured video presets, which include primary and
secondary video stream settings for easy setup. These presets may also be used as a starting point for a
custom video configuration. These preset configurations vary depending on camera model.

Video Configuration

The Video Configuration page allows you to customize the compression, resolution, image rate, and bit
rate of the video streams. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream.
Although each stream can be configured independently, the settings of one stream can limit the options
available to the other stream, depending on the processing power used.

Always configure the primary stream before the secondary stream. The primary stream should always
be the most resource-intensive of the streams.

Audio Configuration

The Audio Configuration page allows you to setup the internal audio device or an external audio device.
The default setting for Audio is disabled, which means that no audio is transmitted from the camera.
When enabled, audio is transmitted from the camera to the PC. Based on your system configuration,
images and audio may not be synchronized.

Note Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.

Applicable laws regarding the use of such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require,
among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are solely responsible for
insuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to any/all rights of privacy and
personalty.

Compression Standards

• JPEG—A commonly used video compression scheme, also known as MJPEG. JPEG has the least

impact on the camera’s processor, but it requires the most bandwidth.

• MPEG-4—A full-motion video standard used by most DVD recorders. MPEG-4 is less

processor-intensive than JPEG, but it uses more bandwidth than H.264.

• H.264—A new version of MPEG-4 compression used in high-definition video players such as

Blu-ray and HD-DVD. H.264 is the most processor-intensive, but it requires the least amount of
bandwidth.

Image Rate and Bit Rate

The following tables show supported primary and secondary video stream combinations when using
H.264 or MJPAG compression on the primary stream:

• Table 2-3 on page 2-27—Supported video stream combinations when using H.264 compression on

the primary stream (NTSC)

• Table 2-4 on page 2-30—Supported video stream combinations when using MJPEG compression on

the primary stream (NTSC)

the primary stream (PAL)

Chapter 2 Operation

• Table 2-6 on page 2-34—Supported video stream combinations when using MJPEG compression on

the primary stream (PAL)

Note When you change any of the video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the

bit rate. If you manually reduce the bit rate lower than the camera's automatic setting, the image quality
might be reduced and the stream selection options might be limited

I-Frame Interval

The I-frame interval configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames in the video
stream. For example, in a scene where a door opens and a person walks through, only the movements of
the door and the person are stored by the video encoder. The stationary background that occurs in the
previous partial frames is not encoded, because no changes occurred in that part of the scene. The
stationary background is only encoded in the full frames. Partial frames improve video compression rates
by reducing the size of the video. As the I-frame interval increases, the number of partial frames
increases between full frames. Higher values are only recommended on networks with high reliability.
This setting is only available with H.264 and MPEG-4 compression standards.

Quality of Service for Differentiated Services Code Point

Quality of Service (QoS) for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a code that allows the
network to prioritize the transmission of different types of data. This setting is only available with H.264
and MPEG-4 compression standards.

Note • If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.

• Your network must be configured to use QoS. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware,

contact your network administrator.

Advanced Sharpening

The Advanced Sharpening setting enhances picture detail by sharpening the edges in the picture. When
this mode is enabled, there is a trade-off between image quality and the resources required for processing
power. The maximum camera resolution and image rate will not be available, but the edges of the image
seem sharper. Only use this setting if you cannot achieve the sharpness level you want by adjusting the
digital processing settings of the camera. The default setting for Advanced Sharpening is Off.

Note Improper use of audio/visual recording equipment may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.

Chapter 2 Operation

To use audio with the camera you must have an audio device connected to the accessory port located on
the back of the camera. After the device is connected, audio can only be enabled through the primary
stream.

Audio and video may not be synced when viewing and listening to the primary stream through a Web
browser. You may experience a three-second delay in video when viewing the primary stream with audio.

Applicable laws regarding the use of such capabilities vary between jurisdictions and may require,
among other things, express written consent from the recorded subjects. You are solely responsible for
ensuring strict compliance with such laws and for strict adherence to all rights of privacy and personalty.

Step 4 Select the audio device setting from the Audio Device drop-down box.

• USB Line In—Enables audio from a microphone connected to the USB accessory port.

• Native Line In—Enables audio from a microphone connected to the audio-in connector.

Step 5 Select the sample rate from the Sample Rate drop-down box

The sample rate is the quality of the audio stream (rendered in hertz per second). The higher the value,
the higher the audio quality. Available sample rate settings are 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 32000,
44100, and 48000 Hz. The default setting is 8000 Hz.

Step 6 Select the encoding method for the audio device from the Encoding drop-down box.

Available encoding methods are PCMU, PCMA, and PM16. The default setting is PCMU.

Step 7 Set the sensitivity of the input level by moving the Input Level slider.

Move the slider to the right to increase the sensitivity level; move it to the left to decrease the sensitivity
level. For example, if the camera is installed in a noisy environment or the connected microphone has a
built-in line amplifier, set the sensitivity to a low setting. The setting range is 0 to 100.

Use the Users tab to create and manage user accounts and to change the way the camera manages the
users settings.

General Settings

Use the General Settings page to set the public user access level. This access level is a predefined set of
user permissions that allow the camera to be accessed without logging on. The permission levels are
Operator, Viewer, and Disabled.

The General Settings page also allows you to change the way the camera manages users and groups
settings. These settings can be managed on a camera-to-camera basis or by using a centralized server to
apply changes to multiple cameras. General settings for users and groups include Standalone, Node, and
Mixed settings. An example of a Mixed management mode would be using a Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) server like Microsoft® Active Directory for authentication.

Users

User accounts are created to limit the permissions of individuals who are logged onto the camera. The
Users page also includes four predefined access level settings that include Administrator, Manager,
Operator, and Viewer permissions.

Step 4 Select a user and group management mode by clicking one of the following options:

• Standalone—The camera manages its users and groups locally. Any changes to users and groups

affect only the camera that you are accessing. Standalone is the default setting.

• Node—The camera uses a centralized server to manage users and groups. In this mode, the users

and groups page is disabled and all management is done on the central server. Any changes to users
and groups affect all cameras connected to the central server.

When you click the Node option, a Server box appears. Click in the Server box, and then type the
name of the central server to manage users and groups.

2-38

• Mixed—The camera verifies user names and passwords against a central server but manages the

group settings locally. This is useful if you want to use a departmental or corporate server for user
names and passwords. In this mode, the settings on the users page are limited, and any changes to
user names and passwords are done on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
While changes to user names and passwords affect all cameras connected to the LDAP server, group
permissions must be managed from each camera individually.

Chapter 2 Operation

Events Tab

Events are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the device how to react when an event occurs.
Event handlers are the actions that the device takes when an event occurs. For example, a system source
can be configured to send e-mail to an operator if the system shuts-down and restarts.

Sources

The camera supports one physical input alarm event source, a system event source, and a timer event
source. The alarm event source is the camera input for an external signaling device, such as a door
contact or motion detector. The system event source is activated when the camera restarts. The timer
event source is a user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time.

Handlers

The device supports a Send Email handler, and an Upload JPEG to FTP Server handlers. The Send Email
handler sends an e-mail to a defined e-mail address when an event is activated.The Upload JPEG to FTP
Server handler saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.

Troubleshooting

Table A-1 provides information that may help you if you need to troubleshoot a Cisco 2900 Series IP

Dome. Do not try to repair a unit yourself. Leave maintenance and repairs to qualified technical
personnel only.

Ta b l e A-1 Troubleshooting the Cisco 2900 IP Dome

Issue Possible Cause Suggested Resolution

Dome does not start properly
after installation.

Dome starts correctly, but you do
not have accurate control.

No video is displayed. Power is not connected. Check the power connector.

The circuit board fuse may need
to be replaced.

The back box may not be
receiving proper voltage.

Switch settings on the dome
drive are set incorrectly.

Video cable is not connected. Check the video connector.

TXB-N module is not inserted
properly.

Check the fuse on the circuit
board inside the back box for
continuity. Replace the fuse if
needed.

Check the wiring with a volt
meter to ensure that the back box
is receiving proper voltage.

Check the signal with a volt
meter or an oscilloscope. (This
step does not apply if you are
using Coaxitron control.)

Ensure that the switch settings
on the dome drive are set
correctly (see the

Settings” procedure on
page 1-11).

Reinstall the TXB-N module.
Make sure the pins on the
module are inserted correctly.

Appendix A Troubleshooting

Table A-1 Troubleshooting the Cisco 2900 IP Dome (continued)

Issue Possible Cause Suggested Resolution

The audio signal is weak. You are not using the correct

type of transformer.

The wiring distance connecting
the audio equipment may be too
long.

The gain is not properly
adjusted.

There is an echo when audio is
received.

The speaker volume is too high. Lower the speaker volume

he microphone and the speaker
are too close together.

Your call station does not have
built-in echo cancellation.

Make sure you are using a
600-ohm impedance matching
transformer.

Test the equipment using a
shorter wiring distance.

If you are using an external
amplifier and it has an adjustable
gain, increase the gain until the
signal is acceptable.

If your call station does not have
built-in echo cancellation, move
the microphone and speaker
farther apart

Use a call station with built-in
echo cancellation.
