Configuring and Managing the IP Camera
The Cisco Video Surveillance IP Camera provides configuration windows that you use to configure and
manage the IP camera. This chapter explains how to access the configuration windows, describes each
window, and provides detailed information about the options that are available in each window.
When configuring the IP camera, be aware of these guidelines:
•
You must install and set up the Cisco Video Surveillance IP camera as described in Chapter 2,
“Getting Started,” before you can access the configuration menus.
•
You must be an IP camera user with administrator privileges to access the configuration windows.
•
For security, the configuration windows time out after 30 minutes of no activity. If a time out occurs,
you are prompted to log back in by entering your user name and password when you next press a
key or click an item. When you log back in, the home window appears.

Accessing Navigating the Configuration Windows
When you are logged in to the IP camera as a user with administrator privileges, you can access the
configuration windows at any time by clicking the Setup link at the top of an IP camera window. (For
information about logging in to the IP camera, see the “Accessing the IP Camera” section on page 2-6).
When you click Setup, a window appears that includes these components:
•
Navigation tree—Appears at the left of the window and provides links to each configuration window
•
Configuration area—Appears to the right of the navigation tree
The navigation tree always appears. The right area varies depending on the configuration window that
you choose from the navigation tree. Use the Navigation Tree to access each configuration window. To
do so, click the link or right arrow next to the link for the group of configuration windows that you want.
The name of each associated window appears as a link. Then click the link for the desired window.

Streaming Settings Window
The Streaming Settings window provides options for configuring audio and video streams from the IP
camera. You can configure settings for the primary and an optional secondary video stream.
Configuring a secondary stream is useful for providing a video stream that is at a lower resolution than
the primary stream to third-party devices or software.
The primary stream supports H.264 for video and G.711 A-law, G.711 u-law, and AAC for audio. The
secondary stream supports MJPEG for video and does not support audio.
When configuring video streams, be aware of the following guidelines:
•
You cannot configure a secondary stream (channel 2) if you configure the resolution for the primary
stream (channel 1) to 1920 x 1080
•
You cannot configure the resolution for the primary stream to 1920 x 1080 if a secondary stream is
enabled
•
The resolution of the primary stream must be higher than the resolution of the secondary stream
•
You cannot configure a maximum frame rate of 60 for the primary stream if the secondary stream is
enabled.
•
Multiple secondary frame rates are now supported for MJPEG. Table 3-1 shows the frame rate
combinations of primary (H.264) and secondary (MJPEG) streams. If a secondary frame rate that is
not shown in this table is selected in Cisco Video Surveillance Manager, the IP camera uses the
closest available frame rate.

Patrol Sequence Window
The Preset Settings window provides options for configuring a patrol sequence for the IP camera. A
patrol sequence consists of up to eight steps, each of which causes the camera to move to a designated
preset position and remain in the position for a designated time.
When you create a patrol sequence, you define the order of the steps. When the patrol sequence executes,
the IP camera goes to the preset position that is defined by the first step, then moves through each preset
position in the configured order. It stops at the preset position that is defined by the last step.
Before you can configure a patrol sequence, you must define preset positions as described in the “Presets
controls” rows in Table 4-1. These rows also explain how to start and stop the execution of a patrol
sequence.
