IP Camera Features

The Cisco Video Surveillance 3000 Series IP Cameras offer a feature-rich digital camera solution for a video surveillance system. The camera provides high-definition (HD) video and simultaneous H.264 and

MJPEG compression, streaming up to 30 frames per second (fps) at 1080p (1280x800) resolution.

In addition, the IP camera provides networking and security capabilities, including multicast support, hardware-based Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and hardware-based Data Encryption

Standard/Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES/3DES) encryption. The camera can be powered through an external power supply or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).

The IP camera includes the following key features:

• H.264 and MJPEG compression simultaneously.

—The IP camera can generate H.264 and MJPEG streams

• Privacy regions —Up to four user-defined masking zones that can be used to provide regions of privacy in the camera field of view. Video within privacy regions is not recorded in the camera, nor sent in the video stream.

• Progressive scan video —The IP camera captures each frame at its entire resolution using progressive scan rather than interlaced video capture, which captures each field of video.

• Analog video output— secondary stream.

Supports analog video for all resolutions with 15 fps or lower with no

• Medianet —The IP camera supports the Auto Smartports feature of the Media Services Interface

(MSI). MSI enables a camera to participate as an endpoint in the Cisco medianet architecture when connected to a medianet enabled switch.

Browser—See the

Supported Browsers, page 1-5

You need this information to access the IP camera windows:

• IP address of the IP camera. By default, the IP camera attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in your network. If the IP camera cannot obtain an IP address through DHCP within 90 seconds of powering up or resetting, it uses the default IP address of 192.168.0.100.

• Port number, if other than the default value. Default port numbers for the IP camera are 443 for

HTTPS and 80 for HTTP. The IP camera administrator can configure an HTTPS port and an HTTP

port as described in the “Initialization Window” section on page 9-1

.

• Your user name and password for the IP camera. The IP camera administrator configures user names and passwords as described in the

“User Window” section on page 9-3

.

To access the IP camera windows, perform the following these steps.

Before you Begin

The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or later must be installed on the PC that you use to connect to the IP camera. You can download the .NET Framework from the Microsoft website.

Procedure

Step 1 Start a supported browser and enter the following in the address field: protocol://ip_address:port_number

•

• where:

• protocol is HTTPS for a secure connection or HTTP for a non-secure connection. You can use

HTTP only if you configure the camera to accept non-secure HTTP connections as described in

Chapter 2, “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera.”

ip_address is the IP address of the IP camera. The default IP address is 192.168.0.100.

port_number is the port number that is used for HTTPS or HTTP connections to the IP camera. You do not need to enter a port number if you are connecting through the default HTTPS port 443 or the default HTTP port 80.

For example,

• Enter the following for a secure connection if the IP address is 192.168.0.100 and the HTTPS port number is 443:

•

• https://192.168.0.100

Enter the following for a secure connection if the IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the HTTPS port number is 1024: https://203.70.212.52:1024

Enter the following for a non-secure connection if the IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the HTTP port number is 80: http://203.70.212.52

Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera

After you install the IP camera, 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 or 64-bit), 8 (32-bit or 64-bit), 10 (32-bit or 64-bit)

• Browser—See the

“Supported Browsers” section on page 1-5

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, if needed.

Before you Begin

The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or later must be installed on the PC that you use to connect to the IP camera. You can download the .NET Framework from the Microsoft website.

Procedure

Streaming Window

The Streaming 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.

Both streams support H.264 and MJPEG for video, and G.711 A-law and G.711 u-law for audio. When configuring video streams, be aware of the following guidelines:

•

•

The resolution of the primary stream must be higher than the resolution of the secondary stream.

You cannot configure a maximum frame rate of 30 for the primary stream if the secondary stream is enabled.

• Multiple secondary frame rates are supported, as shown in the following tables. 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.

–

Table 4-1 on page 4-2 shows, for the 30xx, 34xx, and 35xx Series IP Cameras, the frame rate

combinations of primary and secondary streams with a 16:9 aspect ratio

–

Table 4-2 on page 4-8 shows, for the 30xx, 34xx, and 35xx Series IP Cameras, the frame rate

combinations of primary and secondary streams with a 4:3 aspect ratio

–

Table 4-3 on page 4-10 shows, for the 36xx Series IP Cameras, the frame rate combinations of

primary and secondary streams with a 16:9 aspect ratio

–

Table 4-4 on page 4-14 shows, for the 36xx Series IP Cameras, the frame rate combinations of

primary and secondary streams with a 4:3 aspect ratio

Note If you configure a camera for 768x432, 704x400, or 352x208 resolutions then downgrade the firmware, the camera might reboot. Before downgrading, change the resolution back to an older resolution.

Switch Mode Choose the day/night mode for the IP camera:

• Day —IP camera always remains in day mode.

•

•

Night

Auto

—IP camera always remains in night mode.

—IP camera automatically switches between day and night mode based on the lighting condition threshold that you specify.

When the IP camera is in Auto mode, it attempts to avoid frequent or unnecessary changes between day mode and night mode (such as can occur when an IP camera is set up on a street where car headlights could cause constant changes between these modes). When the IP camera detects that a switch from day to night mode might be necessary, it monitors the light level for 10 seconds. If the light level remains below or above the configured Day to Night Threshold for the entire 10 seconds, the IP camera switches modes. Otherwise, the IP camera remains in the current mode.

If the IP camera goes through 3 day/night mode transitions within a 60 second period, the camera stops detecting and implementing day/night changes for a period of 5 minutes from the point of the third transition.

During these 5 minutes, the IP camera remains in the current day or night mode.

• Night External —IP camera switches to night mode based on external

Input port. It switches to day mode when the external Input port is not in the triggered status. Check the external Input port of “Alarm I/O

Ports.” Output port is optional and can be used to trigger devices connected externally.

• You can configure the IP camera to save all recordings (

continuous recording mode ) to the SD or

• The IP camera supports an SD or MicroSD card with a maximum storage capacity of 64 GB. For efficiency and performance of the local storage feature, Cisco recommends that you use an SD or

MicroSD card with a storage capacity of 32 GB or 64 GB. Do not use an SD or MicroSD card with a storage capacity of less than 8 GB.

• 1 GB of the storage capacity on an SD or MicroSD card is reserved for system use and is not available to store recordings.

• When you put an SD or MicroSD card in the IP camera for the first time, the card is formatted automatically if the card does not have the ext2 file system and if the directory structure that is required for recording is not present on the card. A card with a storage capacity of 64 GB can take up to 15 minutes to format.

• If you move an SD or MicroSD card from one IP camera to another, the IP camera to which you moved the card does not format the card automatically. This feature allows you to manually recover any video that is stored on the card by downloading the video from the IP camera user interface. You must format the card before you enable recording for it in the new IP camera.

Do not partition an SD or MicroSD card. The card should be used as it is formatted by the IP camera.

If you are not using the IP camera with Cisco VSM, set the system time and time zone from the IP camera user interface before you enable recording to an SD or MicroSD card. If you are using the

IP camera with Cisco VSM, enable recording through the Cisco VSM user interface, which synchronizes the camera time with the NTP server. Changing the system time after recording starts can cause issues.

• The continuous recording feature enables VSM to “auto-merge” video archive that has gaps due to network or other issues (assuming that camera was not affected), using camera storage as a temporary archiving medium. It also enables archiving only video that is close to generated events.

Either the primary stream or secondary stream can recorded in this mode.

Chapter 6 Local Storage

•

An IP camera has limited bandwidth for simultaneous reading from and writing to an SD or

MicroSD card, which can affect the amount of data that you can copy from the card when recording to the card is enabled. For optimum performance of the IP camera, set the maximum bit rate for the recorded stream to 6 Mbps or lower. At higher bit rates, video may not be copied from the card before the video is groomed.

Recording MJPEG streams to an SD or MicroSD card is not recommended because the relatively high bit rate of these streams can affect system performance. If you do record MJPEG streams, Cisco recommends that you stop recording before you use the IP camera user interface to copy MJPEG recordings from the card.

The system allows one active download of video from an SD card or MicroSD card at a time. If VSM is copying data from a card (due to a user or system initiated copy operation), you cannot initiate another download from the IP camera user interface until the VSM download completes. Similarly, if you are using the IP camera user interface to download video from an SD or MicroSD card, video cannot be downloaded from VSM until this download completes.
