Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business Internet Video Camera with Audio. This administration guide covers two models.
1
• PVC2300 Business Internet Video Camera with Audio and PoE (Power over
Ethernet)
• WVC2300 Wireless-G Business Internet Video Camera with Audio
For the purpose of this administration guide, whenever a feature applies to both
models, the word camera(s) will be referenced. If a specific model number is
mentioned, then the feature is specific to that model
The Cisco camera surveillance solutions are high quality solutions which can be optimized for many different applications. The box-type form factor allows these cameras to be used as-is or put inside an outdoor enclosure for interior or exterior applications. The cameras use removable CS-mount lenses and can be customized with Zoom, Wide-Angled, Vari-focal, Auto-Iris (DC type), or other type of lenses as required for the specific application.
The PVC2300 provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality that facilitates installation of the PVC2300 in places out of reach of a power outlet.
The cameras can be remotely controlled through an RS-485 interface and mounted on any PT (pan/tilt) base that supports Pelco-D protocol. The camera supports 2 input and 2 output connectors which can be used for connecting to an alarm panel, siren, PIR, smoke detectors, light switch (on/off), door opener, etc.
The cameras incorporate a high quality progressive scan CCD sensor, delivering good quality undistorted video. The sensor used in the cameras has low light sensitivity capability. This means that video can be viewed when very low light (near darkness) is present. Additionally, the cameras incorporate an IR Cut Filter switcher which, when used with a separate IR lamp, allows for viewing of video in total darkness.
Cisco PVC2300 and WVC2300 Internet Video Cameras with Audio Administration Guide 1
Introduction

Minimum Requirements

1
The cameras support dual CODECs—MPEG-4 and MJPEG. Both CODECs can be used simultaneously. MPEG-4 gives efficient bandwidth consumption with good quality compression and is optimal for real-time viewing of video. MJPEG gives optimal video quality in lossy environments making it ideal for video storage to a NAS device. Lossy compression is very effective in reducing digital file sizes, resulting in smaller video file sizes with minor data loss.
The camera’s audio capabilities include 2-way audio, an embedded microphone, external speaker and microphone ports, and voice compression.
With extensive feature support such as IP Multicast, RTSP, RTP, and 3GPP, video can be viewed from multiple endpoints and client applications like 3G phones and Quicktime clients on PCs or Wi-Fi phones.
Support for multiple network protocols like 802.1p priority, 802.1q VLANs, and Dynamic DNS, make the solution ideal for multiple IP surveillance applications. The cameras can also be managed securely using HTTPS.
NOTE Before installing a surveillance system, check with local government agencies to
determine if video surveillance and audio monitoring are permitted in your area.

Planning Your Wireless Network

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is exactly like a regular local area network (LAN), except that each computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to connect to the network. Computers and other devices, such as peripherals, in a WLAN share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name for wireless devices. This chapter includes the following sections:
• Wireless Network Layout, page 5
2
• Additional Security Tips, page 6
• Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks, page 6

Wireless Network Layout

The WVC2300 camera is compatible with 802.11g routers, such as model number WRVS4400N, as well as 802.11g access points, including model number WAP4410N. The camera can also communicate with network adapters, such as the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (model number WPC4400N) for your laptop computers, Wireless-G PCI Adapter (model numbers WMP200) for your desktop PCs, and Wireless-G USB Adapter (model number WUSB200) for your computers that connect to the wireless network through USB modems.
With these, and many other Cisco products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Cisco website at www.cisco.com for more information about Cisco products.
NOTE Your wireless range is variable and depends on your environment.

Planning Your Wireless Network

Additional Security Tips

Additional Security Tips
• Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away from exterior walls
and windows.
• Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways off when they are not
being used (at night, during vacations).
• Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length.
Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be found in the dictionary.

Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks

2
Cisco wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible. The current generation of Cisco products provide several network security features, but they require specific action on your part for implementation. So, keep the following suggestions in mind whenever you are setting up or using your
wireless network. Also, see “Setting Security Precautions on the Cisco
WVC2300” on page 97.
Wireless networks are easy to find. Hackers know that in order to join a wireless network, wireless networking products first listen for “beacon messages.” These messages can be easily decrypted and contain much of the network’s information, such as the network’s SSID (Service Set Identifier). Here are the steps you can take to prevent intruders:
Change the administrator’s password regularly. With every wireless networking device you use, keep in mind that network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) are stored in its firmware. Your network administrator is the only person who can change network settings. If a hacker learns the administrator’s password, he, too, can change those settings. So, make it harder for a hacker to get that information. Change the administrator’s password regularly.
SSID. There are several things to keep in mind about the SSID:
• Do not broadcast it
• Make it unique
• Change it often
Cisco PVC2300 and WVC2300 Internet Video Cameras with Audio Administration Guide 6
Planning Your Wireless Network
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks
Most wireless networking devices will give you the option of broadcasting the SSID. While this option may be more convenient, it allows anyone to log into your wireless network. This includes hackers. So, don’t broadcast the SSID.
Wireless networking products come with a default SSID set from the factory. (The Cisco default SSID is “ciscosb”.) Hackers know these defaults and can check these against your network. Change your SSID to something unique and not something related to your company or the networking products you use.
Change your SSID regularly so that any hackers who have gained access to your wireless network will have to start from the beginning in trying to break in.
MAC Addresses. Enable MAC Address filtering. MAC Address filtering allows you to provide access to only those wireless nodes with certain MAC Addresses. This makes it harder for a hacker to access your network with a random MAC Address.
WEP Encryption. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is often looked upon as a cure-all for wireless security concerns. This is overstating WEP’s ability. Again, this can only provide enough security to make a hacker’s job more difficult. There are several ways that WEP can be maximized:
2
• Use the highest level of encryption possible
• Use “Shared Key” authentication
• Change your WEP key regularly
WPA/WPA2 Personal. WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the highest level.
WPA/WPA Enterprise. Enterprise refers to using RADIUS server for authentication, while RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. This type of authentication requires some advanced expertise because it involves setting up a RADIUS server for authentication and, in some cases, creation of certificates for both the RADIUS server and the camera.
If you are using WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security, you will need to upload security certificates to the camera. Certificates must be in the following format:
• Root certificate: DER encoded binary x.509 (CER/PEM)
• User certificate: Personal Information Exchange (PKCS#12(.PFX))
Cisco PVC2300 and WVC2300 Internet Video Cameras with Audio Administration Guide 7
Planning Your Wireless Network
!
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks
Implementing encryption may have a negative impact on your network’s performance, but if you are transmitting sensitive data over your network, encryption should be used.
These security recommendations should help keep your mind at ease while you are enjoying the most flexible and convenient technology Cisco has to offer.
CAUTION Always remember that each device in your wireless network MUST use the same
encryption method and encryption key or your wireless network will not function properly.

Getting to Know the PVC2300 and WVC2300 Cameras
Back Panel
Reset
The reset button can be accessed with a straightened paper clip or similar object. The reset button has two functions:
• Restore Factory Defaults—To restore the factory default settings, press
the Reset button for more than 10 seconds. When you let go of the button, the LEDs on the front of the camera will flash and then return to a normal state when the camera is ready.
• Set Static IP Address—By default the camera is set to receive an IP
address from a DHCP server. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you can set a static IP address by pressing the Reset button on the
camera for less than 10 seconds. A default IP address of 192.168.1.99 will
be assigned to the camera. This information also can set in the Setup Wizard and in the web-based configuration utility for the camera.
3
Tips when using the default IP address:
• If the camera is connected directly to your computer, then your computer
needs to be on the same subnet as the default IP address in order to access the configuration utility.
• If you are using a router, you may be on a different subnet such as
192.168.2.1.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port supports network speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and can operate in half and full-duplex mode.
Auto-sensing technology enables the port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
The Ethernet port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through or crossover cables to connect to PCs, servers, or switches.
NOTE NOTE FOR PVC2300: The PVC2300 camera’s Ethernet port also supports the IEEE
802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC power to be supplied to the camera using wires in the connecting twisted-pair cable. Any 802.3af­compliant device attached to the port can directly supply power to the camera
Cisco PVC2300 and WVC2300 Internet Video Cameras with Audio Administration Guide 12
Getting to Know the PVC2300 and WVC2300 Cameras
Back Panel
over the twisted-pair cable without requiring its own separate power source. This capability gives network administrators centralized power control, which translates into greater network availability.
To connect a device to the port, you will need to use Category 5 (or better) network cable.
NOTE NOTE FOR WVC2300: Attaching an Ethernet cable will disable the wireless
interface on the WVC2300 camera. Only one interface can be active at any time.
NOTE NOTE FOR WVC2300: On the WVC2300 camera, the Ethernet cable should only be
connected or disconnected when the camera is powered OFF. Attaching or detaching the Ethernet cable while the camera is powered on does NOT switch the interface between wired and wireless. In order to switch from wired to wireless or vice versa, the power needs to be disconnected and reconnected to change from one mode to the other. Disconnecting the Ethernet while power is on will merely disconnect the camera from the network.

Camera Install ation Guidelines

Camera Installation Guidelines
Consider the following guidelines before installing and mounting your cameras. While the motion detection window and the degree of sensitivity can be optimized later, it is best to optimize your camera location first.
• Choose a location that provides adequate coverage of the area to be
monitored.
• If using the microphone in the camera, note that the cameras are designed
to pick up audio from a distance (unlike a web camera that you would place near you.)
• If using an external microphone or speaker, place the microphone far
enough away from the speaker to avoid feedback. The volume of the speaker and the background noise of the environment will determine the exact distance, possibly up to one yard (one meter) away.
4
• Cameras mounted outdoors should be installed in an IP66-certified
enclosure to protect the camera from the elements, while maintaining acceptable operating temperatures. If an enclosure is used, an external microphone is required for audio.
• If using motion detection, consider potential sources of false positives, such
as trees and shrubs, drastic light changes, wandering animals, and traffic.

Camera Hardware Installation

Follow these steps to install the PVC2300 or WVC2300 camera:
NOTE Before attaching the camera extension or swivel head, the stand base can be
mounted in a permanent location by using three screws to secure the stand base to the desired location.

The 802.1p header includes a three-bit field for prioritization, which allows packets to be grouped into various traffic classes. The IEEE has made broad recommendations concerning how network managers can implement these traffic classes, but it stops short of mandating the use of its recommended traffic class definitions. It can also be defined as best-effort QoS (Quality of Service) or CoS (Class of Service) at Layer 2 and is implemented in network adapters and switches without involving any reservation setup. 802.1p traffic is simply classified and sent to the destination; no bandwidth reservations are established.
