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.Features•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.
EFT DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL1-2Cisco Video Surveillance IP Camera User GuideOL-14220-01Chapter 1 IntroductionOverview•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.

EFT DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL4-2Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User GuideOL-14220-01Chapter 4 Advanced Viewing Set UpMaking Video Available from the InternetMaking Video Available from the InternetIf your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a broadband gateway or router and a broadband modem, you can make the IP camera available via the Internet. You must configure your router or gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera.Router or Gateway SetupYour router or gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections from Internet viewers to the IP camera. A router or gateway uses the port number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the IP camera.Max. Frame Rate Select the desired maximum bandwidth for the video stream. You can specify either the bandwidth or the frame rate, but not both. If the bandwidth is defined, the frame rate is adjusted as necessary to achieve the specified frame rate. The default values for bandwidth is Unlimited, which allows you to specify the desired frame rate.Video AdjustmentPower line frequency Select the power line frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) used in your region, to improve the picture quality under florescent lighting.White Balance Select the desired option to match the current environment and lighting.Brightness If necessary, adjust the brightness to obtain a better image. For example, if the camera is facing a bright light, the image may be too dark. In this case, you can increase the brightness.Sharpness Select the desired value for the sharpness.Contrast Select the desired value for the contrast. Saturation Select the desired value for the saturation. OptionsTime Stamp If enabled, the current time displays on the video image.Text Display Enable this setting if you want text to display on the video, and enter the desired text, which can contain up to 20 characters. This feature is often used to identify each camera when multiple cameras are installed.Image Overlay If you want an image to be displayed on the video, check this check box. Select a bitmap image file (smaller than 64Kb) you define and set its position (X: 0 through 639, Y: 0 through 479) and its transparent color (RGB hexadecimal color code, for example, 5272B3) for displaying on the video.Day/Night SwitchEnable Night Vision ScheduleCheck this check box to enable a day/night filter during a specified period.Table 4-1 Video Screen Options (continued)Option Description
EFT DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL4-3Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User GuideOL-14220-01Chapter 4 Advanced Viewing Set UpMaking Video Available from the InternetThis feature is normally called port forwarding or virtual servers. The port forwarding/virtual server entry tells the router or gateway that incoming TCP connections on port 1024 should be passed to the IP camera. If necessary, refer to the user manual for your router gateway for further details.Note The Port for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry is the Secondary Port number that is specified on the Network screen of the IP camera.IP Camera SetupThe IP camera configuration does not need to be changed unless:•You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024).•You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the IP camera.HTTP Port ConfigurationNormally, HTTP (web) connections use port 80. Because the IP camera uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a web server, you can use a different port for the IP camera. This port is called the alternative port.The default alternative port is 1024. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the IP camera Advanced Setup window. (For detailed information about the Advanced Setup window, see the “Advanced Setup Window” section on page 5-6.)Note users need to know this port number to connect and view live video, so you must inform users of the correct port number.DDNS (Dynamic DNS)Many internet connections use a dynamic IP address, where the IP address is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established. In this situation, other Internet users do not know the IP address so they cannot establish a connection.DDNS is designed to solve this problem by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a domain name instead of an IP address.To use DDNS, follow these steps:ProcedureStep 1 Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider.You can then apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.Step 2 Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the IP camera DDNS window.After you configure these settings, operation is automatic:•The IP camera automatically contacts the DDNS server whenever it detects that the IP address has changed and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address.

CHAPTEREFT DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL6-1Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User GuideOL-14220-016TroubleshootingThis chapter describes some common problems that may be encountered while using and IP camera and provides possible solutions.Symptom Cannot connect to an IP camera with a web browser to configure the camera.Solution The IP address of your PC may not be compatible with the IP address of the IP camera. Use the Windows utility to configure the IP camera with a valid IP address.Symptom The Windows utility doe not list any IP cameras.Solution Check the following:•Ensure that the camera is installed, LAN connections are OK, the camera is powered on, and startup is complete.•Ensure that your PC and the IP camera are on the same network subnet. •Ensure that your PC has the TCP/IP network protocol loaded. In Windows, load this protocol in the Control Panel > Network window.–If an entry for TCP/IP -> Network card is not listed, choose Add > Protocol > Microsoft > TCP/IP to add it. –You then need to select the new entry (TCP/IP > Network card), click Properties, and configure the IP Address tab. –If your LAN has a DHCP Server, you can choose Obtain an IP Address automatically. Otherwise, you must select Specify an IP Address, and enter values for IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. All devices on your LAN must use compatible values. Each device must have a unique IP address and the same subnet mask.Symptom When I try to connect to the IP camera, I am prompted for a user name and password.Solution You should be prompted for a user name and password if you are trying to access the Setup menu. Enter the administrator ID and password set that are on the Users screen.If you are just trying to view video, the User Name and Password prompts indicate that the administrator has restricted access to specified users. Ask the administrator for your user name and password.
EFT DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL6-2Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User GuideOL-14220-01Chapter 6 TroubleshootingSymptom I cannot connect to the IP camera using a wireless connection.Solution If a LAN cable is connected to the LAN port, the wireless interface is disabled. Only one interface can be active.Check that your PC and the IP camera have compatible Wireless settings:•Mode (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc) must be correct.•ESSID must match.•WEP settings must match.•In Ad-hoc mode, the channel should match.Symptom Video quality suddenly deteriorates.Solution This situation can occur when an additional viewer connects to the IP camera, overloading the camera or the available bandwidth. The image size and quality can be for the required number of viewers and the available bandwidth.Symptom The motion detection feature does not send e-mail alerts.Solution The SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) server used by the camera to send the e-mail may not accept mail (to prevent spam from being sent from the server). Try using a different SMTP server, or contact your ISP to see if SMTP access is being blocked.Symptom Using the motion detection feature, I receive e-mail messages that do not show any moving objects.Solution The motion detection feature does not actually detect motion. It compares frames to see if they are different. Major differences between frames are assumed to be caused by moving objects. But the motion detector can also be triggered by:•Sudden changes in the level of available light•Movement of the camera itself.Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. This feature may not work properly if the camera is outdoors.Symptom The image is blurry. Solution Try cleaning the lens, or adjusting the image settings on the video screen. Video created with lower settings contains less detail, which is a trade-off for using less bandwidth.
EFT DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIALA-1Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User GuideOL-14220-01APPENDIXAStreaming Video/Audio SolutionStreaming video is a sequence of “moving images” that are sent in compressed form over the Internet and displayed by a viewer as they arrive. With streaming, a web user does not have to wait to download a large file before seeing the video or hearing the sound. Instead, the media is sent in a continuous stream and is played as it arrives. To snapshot a JPEG image from the Internet Camera with specified resolution and quality:http://<ip>/img/snapshot.cgi?[size=<value>]&[quality=<value>]Where:•ip is the IP address of the camera•value for size is a number 1 through 3, where: –1—320 x240–2—640 x 480–3—720 x 480•value for quality is a number 1 though 5, where:–1—Very high–2—High–3—Normal–4—Low–5—Very lowTo stream video through the RTP/RTSP protocol from Internet Camera (MPEG-4 mode only):http://<ip>/img/media.sdprtsp://<ip>/img/media.savWhere ip is the IP address of the camera Note Users need to specify the desired protocol in the players.
