• Package Contents, page 1-2

• IP Camera Physical Details, page 1-3

The Cisco Video Surveillance 3520 IP camera is an indoor, high definition, professional fixed dome IP

camera with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The 1 megapixel (MP) IP camera offers 720p full HD resolution (1280 X 800) with superb image quality up to 30 frames per second (FPS) while optimizing network usage with either H.264 or MJPEG compression. It can capture a much more comprehensive area than a standard VGA model, significantly reducing the number of units required. It is especially suitable for monitoring indoor spaces such as building entrances, retail spaces or applications requiring accurate identification.

For complete installation and tampering prevention, the 3520 IP camera also allows for different mounting options such as surface, vandal-resistant, and flush mount. Additionally, the metal vandal-resistant housing option effectively provides robust protection against vandalism.

OL-28645-01

With other advanced features such as 802.3af compliant PoE, micro SD/SDHC card for local storage, and e-PTZ functionality, the 3520 IP camera provides the most robust solution suitable for any demanding indoor environment.

OL-28645-01

CHAP T E R

Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera

After you install IP camera as described in the Chapter 2, “Camera Installation,” or after you perform a factory reset procedure, you must access the IP camera and make initial configuration settings. These settings include administrator and root passwords, and whether the IP camera can be accessed through an HTTP connection in addition to the default HTTPS (HTTP secure) connection.

To make these configuration settings, you connect to the IP camera from any PC that is on the same network as the IP camera. The PC must meet these requirements:

• Operating system—Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)

• Browser—Internet Explorer 8.0 (32-bit only)

In addition, you must know the IP address and default login credentials of the IP camera. By default, when the IP camera powers on, it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in your network. If the camera cannot obtain an IP address through DCHP within 90 seconds, it uses a default IP address of 192.168.0.100. The default login credentials (Username/Password) are admin/admin.

To connect to the IP camera for the first time and make initial configuration settings, perform the following steps. You can change these configuration settings in the future as described in the Cisco Video Surveillance 3000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.

OL-28645-01

Before you Begin

administrator.

You must enter the same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and must contain at least eight characters, which can be letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces. Special characters are:

! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~.

Step 4 In the Password and Confirm Password fields of the Root row, enter a password that is used when

accessing the IP camera through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.

! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~.

You use the root password if you need to troubleshoot the IP camera through a SSH connection with the assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Step 5 In the Access Protocols area, check the Enable HTTP check box if you want to allow both HTTP and

HTTPS connections to the IP camera.

By default, only the Enable HTTPS check box is checked, which allows only HTTPS (secure) connections to the IP camera.

Step 6 Click Apply.

The IP camera reboots and the Login window appears.

Step 7 After the IP camera reboots, start Internet Explorer and, in the Address field, enter the following:

protocol://ip_address

where:

Enables the motion detection feature and displays a grid over the video image.

When motion detection is enabled, the IP camera monitors activity in the video field areas that you specify. If activity at a defined level occurs in any of these areas, the IP camera generates an alert and takes the configured actions.

To designate specific areas that the IP camera monitors for activity, select the areas by clicking each grid cell over the area. A red border indicates a selected area. To deselect an area, click it again.

You can configure the following levels for areas that the IP camera monitors for activity:

• Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the IP camera

must detect in the area before it generates an alert. A lower value means that more, or faster, activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value means that less, or slower, activity is required. The default value is 80.

• Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the IP camera must

identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera detects pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default threshold value is 10.

To configure sensitivity or threshold, right-click a grid cell that has a red border and then drag the Sensitivity and Threshold sliders to the desired values. Alternatively, enter a value from 1 through 100 for an option and press the Enter key. To reset the sensitivity and threshold to their default values of 50, click Restore. These configuration settings affect the cell that you select. If the cell is part of a group of horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally) adjacent cells, the settings affect all cells in the group.

Becomes available when you click check Enable Motion Detection check box. Check the Full Screen check box to cause the IP camera to examine the entire video field for activity.

You can configure the following items for this video field:

• Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the IP camera

• Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the IP camera must

identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera monitors for pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default threshold value is 10.

To configure sensitivity or threshold, right-click anywhere in the video field border and then drag the Sensitivity and Threshold sliders to the desired values. Alternatively, enter a value from 1 through 100 for an option and press the Enter key. To reset the sensitivity and threshold to their default values of 50, click Restore.
