Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User Guide 2-8 OL-14220-01 CH A P T E R 3 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 administrator or an IP camera user with administrator privileges to access the configuration windows. • Only one administrator can access the IP camera configuration windows at a time. If you click the Setup link on the Main window when another administrator is accessing the configuration windows, the following message appears, where name is the IP camera user name of the administrator and address is the IP address of the PC from which the user is accessing the IP camera: Another administrator is setting up the device. [id: user, ip: address] • If an administrator exits the configuration windows by clicking the Logout button, that administrator or another administrator can access the windows immediately. If an administrator exits the configuration windows by closing the browser window without first logging out, the configuration windows may not be available for up 2 minutes. (For this reason, it is a best practice to exit the configuration windows by clicking the Logout button.) • For security, the configuration windows time out after 2 minutes of no activity. If a time out occurs, a pop-up window prompts you 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 configuration window that you were displaying remains on your screen, but all settings revert to their last saved values.

Symptom Cannot connect to an IP camera through a web browser. Possible Cause You are not using a supported PC operating system or web browser, you entered an incorrect IP address for the IP camera, the PC that you are using is not on the same LAN as the IP camera, you are entering an invalid port number for an HTTP or HTTPS connection, or you are trying to access the IP camera from a device with an IP address that is restricted from access. Recommended Action Make sure that you are using a PC that is running Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, or Vista and that your are using Internet Explorer 6.x with Service Pack 2, or later. Make sure that you enter the correct IP address. If you are connecting through a LAN, make sure that the PC is on the same network as the IP camera. If you are connecting through the Internet, make sure to enter the correct port number. Make sure that the device does not have an IP address that is restricted from access (see the “IP Filter Window” section on page 3-9.) Symptom Cannot log in to the IP camera as the administrator. Possible Cause You are entering the log in credentials incorrectly or have forgotten the administrator password. Recommended Action The administrator user name is admin and the password is the one that you configured. Both credentials are case sensitive, so make sure to enter them exactly as they are configured. If you forget the administrator password, you must perform a factory reset as described in the “Resetting the IP Camera” procedure on page 2-8, then reconfigure the IP camera. If you take these actions, do not use the Upload option in the Maintenance window to reload a saved configuration file because that process restores the password that you forgot. Symptom Configuration windows do not display when you click the Setup link in the Main window. Possible Cause You or another user recently exited the configuration windows by exiting a browser without first clicking the Logout button. In this case, it can take up to 2 minutes before the configuration windows become available. Recommended Action Wait 2 minutes and try again.

Possible Cause The e-mail alert feature is not properly configured or the SMTP server that the IP camera uses to send the e-mail may be filtering e-mail to prevent spam from being sent from your server. Recommended Action Configure e-mail alerts as described in the “Basic Setup Window” section on page 3-5, the “Mail & FTP Window” section on page 3-21, and the “Event Window” section on page 3-24. Try using a different SMTP server or contact your ISP to see if SMTP access is being blocked. Symptom The motion detection feature is configured but video files that are provided in e-mail alerts do not show moving objects. Possible Cause 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 light level or movement of the IP camera itself. Recommended Action Try to avoid situations with sudden changes in light level and do not bump or move the IP camera. The motion detection feature works best when the IP camera is mounted securely in locations where there is steady. This feature may not work properly if the IP camera is outdoors. Symptom Blurry images when viewing video. Possible Cause The lens may be dirty, back focus may not be adjusted properly, or video settings may not be configured for optimal clarity. Recommended Action Clean the lens on the IP camera. Adjust the back focus as described in the “Adjusting Back Focus on the IP Camera” section on page 2-7. Configure options for video as described in the “Video Window” section on page 3-14. Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User Guide 5-2 OL-14220-01 A P P E N D I X A Using the IP Camera with Cisco VSM Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM) is a suite of powerful and flexible video surveillance applications that interoperate with a wide range of devices and cameras to provide a complete, standards-based video surveillance solution. VSM consists of modules to manage, archive, view, and distribute video. You can use the IP camera with VSM, but be aware that the IP camera includes features that are not currently integrated with VSM. These features are noted throughout this manual and summarized in Table A-1. Table A-1 IP Camera Features not Currently Compatible with VSM Feature IP Camera Implementation Compatible with VSM Alarm Events 2 out / FTP clip / e-mail No Alarm Inputs 2 in No Audio Simplex / half duplex / full duplex No Cisco Discovery Protocol Sends CDP discovery messages (CDP) No Event handling Schedules and triggers for events No Event notification E-mail or FTP alerts if an event occurs No IP Filter window Provides options for controlling access to the IP camera by IP address No Motion Detection Detects motion in up to 3 configured areas in the video field No Multicasting Sends video and audio data as multicast streams No PTZ (RS-485) window Provides options for pan, tilt, zoom (PTZ) functions No QoS Quality of Service (QoS) for audio streams, video streams, or both No Security Window Process control, No Security windows Provide options for stopping processes, configuring password requirements, and enabling access through HTTP or SSH connections No Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User Guide OL-14220-01 A-1 Appendix A Using the IP Camera with Cisco VSM Obtaining the Required Driver Pack Table A-1 IP Camera Features not Currently Compatible with VSM (continued) Feature IP Camera Implementation Compatible with VSM SNMP window Provides options for configuring SNMP settings No Status windows System window, Audio/Video window, Network window, Syslog & Log window, Video Log window No This appendix includes the following sections. Review this information before using the IP camera with VSM. • Obtaining the Required Driver Pack, page A-2 • Guidelines for Using the IP Camera with VSM, page A-2 • Troubleshooting the IP Camera when used with VSM, page A-3 Obtaining the Required Driver Pack To use the IP camera with VSM, you must download and install a driver pack. For information about this driver pack, and to download it to your system, go to this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9152/index.html Guidelines for Using the IP Camera with VSM The following guidelines apply when you use the IP camera with VSM: • The IP camera must be installed and configured as described in the “Installing the IP Camera” section on page 2-1 and the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4. • To manage the camera by using VSM, you must enable the camera for access through HTTP. VSM does not support access through HTTPS. For configuration instructions, see the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4. • You must to create a separate user account with administrator privileges for each Media Server. Configuration connections for a Media Server are limited just as they are for user sessions. Viewing and managing video streams from VSM requires administrator-level privileges. For information about how to configure a user account, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-14 • A user with administrator privileges cannot simultaneously be logged in to the IP camera and use VSM at the same time • Cisco recommends that you configure video resolution (NTSC or PAL) from the IP camera configuration windows. For instructions, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-14. Cisco Video Surveillance System IP Camera User Guide A-2 OL-14220-01 Appendix A Using the IP Camera with Cisco VSM Troubleshooting the IP Camera when used with VSM Troubleshooting the IP Camera when used with VSM If you experience difficulty when using the IP camera with VSM, refer to these troubleshooting guidelines: • If you are using the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager, it may take a few attempts to bring up video the first time that a camera is selected • Verify that VSM is installed properly • Verify that the VSM driver pack for the IP camera is installed properly • Verify there are no firewalls enabled on VSM servers • Verify that the default gateway is configured for the IP camera • Verify that your web browser supports Active X controls • Verify that the user name and password are configured identically for the camera and the VSOM IP camera settings • Verify that the appropriate graphics card is installed in the on which you are viewing video • Verify that VSM
