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—The IP camera can generate H.264 and MJPEG streams
simultaneously.
•
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—Supports analog video for all resolutions with 15 fps or lower with no
secondary stream.
•
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.
•
Local Storage—Supports up to 32 GB of video data storage on a micro SD memory card when the
camera loses network connectivity.

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 Enterprise (32-bit or 64-bit)
•
Browser—Internet Explorer 9.0 (32-bit only)
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 as described in the Cisco Video
Surveillance 3000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.
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 Internet Explorer, enter HTTPS://ip_address in the address field, and press Enter.
Replace ip_address with the IP address that the IP camera obtained through DHCP or, if the camera was
unable to obtain this IP address, enter 192.168.0.100.
The Login window appears.
Step 2

Feature Setup
The Feature Setup windows let you configure a variety of IP camera features and functions. The
following sections describe the Feature Setup windows in detail:
•
Streaming Window, page 4-1
•
Camera Window, page 4-12
•
Video Overlay Window, page 4-15
•
IO Ports Window, page 4-17
•
Alert Notification Window, page 4-18
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:
Note
•
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. Table 4-1 shows the frame rate combinations of
primary and secondary streams with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and Table 4-2 shows the frame rate
combinations of primary and secondary streams with a 4:3 aspect ratio. 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.
If you configure the camera for 768 x 432, 704 x 400, and 352 x 208 resolutions and then downgrade the
firmware, the camera might reboot. Before downgrading, change the resolution back to an older
resolution.

Option
Description
Current Stream Area
Stream
Choose the video stream (Stream 1 or Stream 2) to which the configuration
settings in the Streaming window apply. Stream 1 is the primary stream, and
Stream 2 is the secondary stream.
Enable Stream
Check this check box to cause the IP camera to send audio/video data on the
selected stream.
Streaming Area
Note
Each video stream uses its own set of streaming options. The settings shown in the Streaming
Area apply to the currently selected stream only.
RTSP Port
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port on which the IP camera receives
Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) commands. You must configure this
port if you want to allow third-party devices or software to access video
streams from the IP camera.
RTSP is a standard for connecting a client to control streaming data over the
web.
Valid values are 554 and 1024 through 65535. The default port is 554.
Video Source Port
Universal Datagram Protocol (UDP) port on which the IP camera transmits
Video Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) data.
Valid values are even numbers 1024 through 65534. The default port is 1024.
Audio Source Port
UDP port on which the IP camera transmits audio RTP data
Valid values are even numbers 1024 through 65534. The default value is
1026.
Max RTP Packet Size
Maximum number of bytes per data packets that are sent in each RTP
request.
Configure a lower number if you are streaming video to a cell phone that
requires smaller data packets.
Valid values are 400 through 1400. The default value is 1400.
Enable Multicast
Check this check box to send video and audio data as a multicast stream.
When multicast is enabled, the IP camera sends video and audio to the
multicast addresses that you designate. Multicast enables several devices to
receive the video signal from the IP camera simultaneously.
Multicast Address
Enter the multicast IP address on which the IP camera sends a multicast
audio/video stream.

Choose the resolution for video transmission. The resolutions in this
drop-down list depend on the video standard that you selected.
Maximum Frame Rate
Choose the maximum frame rate of the video stream.
Video Quality Control
Choose an option for the video quality of the video stream from the IP
camera:
•
Constant Bit Rate—Available for the primary stream only. Specifies
that the video stream is output at or close to the constant bit rate that you
choose.
You can select one of the Mbps values in the drop-down menu. The
default value is 4 Mbps. A higher bit rate provides better video quality
but consumes more bandwidth.
You can also select the Customized option to enter a rate within the valid
range, depending on resolution and frame rate.
•
Fixed Quality—Specifies that video is output at a fixed quality, which
ranges from Very High to Low. The bit rate may vary to maintain this
quality. The default fixed quality is Normal. A higher fixed quality
provides better video quality but consumes more bandwidth.
You can use these options to help manage bandwidth use in your network.
For example, if the IP camera is focused on an area with little movement,
such as an emergency exit, you can configure it with a low fixed quality.

video from the IP camera. You can listen to the audio when viewing video in the Camera Video & Control
window.
The IP camera day and night filters allow the IP camera to optimize its video image for various lighting
conditions. When the IP camera uses its day filter, it is operating in day mode. In this mode, the camera
displays video images in color. When the IP camera uses its night filter, it is in night mode. In this mode,
the camera displays video images in black and white.

Switch Mode
Choose the day/night mode for the IP camera:
•
Day—IP camera always remains in day mode.
•
Night—IP camera always remains in night mode.
•
Auto—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.
•

Local Storage
The Local Storage window allows you to enable storing video on a local storage device in case of a
network loss. You can download these video recordings from the Local Storage window.
When you use local storage, be aware of the following:
•
You can configure the IP camera to save all recordings (continuous recording mode) to the SD or
MicroSD card, or to save only recording that are made when the IP camera looses network
connectivity (network loss mode).
•
The IP camera supports an SD or MicroSD card with a maximum storage capacity of 32 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. 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 32 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.
•
Grooming starts when continuous recording is enabled and operates as follows:
1.
Groom files that are marked as deleted.
2.
Groom the oldest files on the local SD or MicroSD card when available space on the card is less
than 1 GB.
Cisco Video Surveillance 3000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide

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.

Caution
To prevent corruption to data on an SD or MicroSD card or the inability of the IP camera to detect the
card again, before removing an SD or MicroSD card from an IP camera, stop recording to the card and
use the Unmount button (described in Table 6-1) to prepare the card for ejection. In addition, use care
when inserting, removing, and handling the card to avoid damaging the card.
