IP Camera Features
The Cisco Video Surveillance 7000 Series IP Cameras offer a feature-rich digital camera solution for a video surveillance system. They provide high-definition (HD) video and simultaneous H.264 and
MJPEG compression, streaming up to 30 frames per second (fps) at 1080p (up to 2560 x1920) resolution.
In addition, the 7000 Series IP cameras provide 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 cameras can be powered through an external power supply or by integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE).
The 7000 Series IP cameras include the following key features:
•
•
H.264 and MJPEG compression —The IP camera can generate H.264 and MJPEG streams simultaneously.
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.
Day/night switch support— An IR-cut filter provides increased sensitivity in low-light conditions.
Multi-protocol support— Supports these protocols: DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, NTP, RTP, RTSP,
SMTP, SNMP v2 and v3, SSL/TLS, and TCP/IP.
Web-based management— You perform ongoing administration and management of the IP camera through web-based configuration menus.

Streaming Window
The Streaming window provides options for configuring 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. The secondary stream supports MJPEG for video.
When configuring video streams, be aware of the following guidelines:
• You cannot configure a secondary stream (channel 2) if you configure the resolution of the primary stream to 2560 x 1920, or 1920 x 1080 @ 20 FPS or higher
•
•
•
You cannot configure the resolution for the primary stream to 2560 x 1920, or 1920 x 1080 @ 20
FPS or higher 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 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.

• Configuring multiple IP cameras—If your network includes several IP cameras that should have similar configurations, you can configure one IP camera, save that configuration, and upload it to other IP cameras. Then, instead of manually configuring all options on each IP camera, you manually configure only the options that are unique, such as the IP address, if not obtained from
DHCP.
• Backing up configuration—If you save the configuration from the IP camera, you can upload it to the IP camera to restore the configuration if it is lost, or if you can upload it to a replacement IP camera, if needed.

Log Configuration
The Log windows let you set up and view the IP camera log file, which captures information about the
IP camera and its activities.
The IP camera stores the log file in its internal SDRAM. If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera begins to overwrite existing information. To avoid losing log information, you can configure the IP camera to send log information to a Syslog server.
Caution Because the logs are stored in the internal camera SDRAM, all existing logs in the camera are lost after a camera reboot, power-up, or power-down.
The following sections describe the Log windows in detail:
