Introduction
The Cisco Video Surveillance PTZ IP cameras are primarily used for monitoring wide open outdoor
areas such as building entrances, airports, highways, and parking lots.
The dome cover protects the camera body against rain and dust. The wide temperature range allows the
camera to operate under extreme weather conditions.
The following PTZ IP cameras are available:
•
Cisco Video Surveillance SD Outdoor 2830 PTZ IP Camera, NTSC
•
Cisco Video Surveillance SD Outdoor 2835 PTZ IP Camera, PAL
•
Cisco Video Surveillance HD Outdoor 6930 PTZ IP Camera
For installers, properly adjusting the focus of an HD IP camera can be difficult due to the image detail.
To make installation and adjustment easier, the PTZ IP camera incorporates built-in stepping motors that
the installer can use to remotely control the focal length and precisely adjust the camera focus.
For complete installation and tampering prevention, the PTZ IP camera also fits different conduits and
corrugated tubes sizes for cable installation.

Connecting to the Network
Use the following steps to connect the camera to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch:
Step 1
Connect the camera's Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better) to a PoE Plus switch.
A30W PoE output port alone cannot drive the onboard heater. If using the PoE switch, the
application does not apply in low-temperature condition. A 30W PoE plus can only drive the camera
when it is working at a temperature higher than -10ºC.
Step 2
Connect the power wires to an AC 24V power adapter (user-supplied).
The AC 24V adapter can drive the camera and the onboard heater. You can connect both power
sources for redundancy in power supply.
IEEE 802.3at PoE Switch (30W output)
and / or
347715
AC 24V 3.5A Adapter
(User-supplied)
If you are using a non-PoE switch, use a high power PoE power injector with a 60W output to connect
between the camera and non-PoE switch.
Sufficient power is required for low temperature conditions when the onboard heater is activated.

OL-28954-02
CHAPTER
3
Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
After you install the PTZ IP camera as described in the Chapter 2, “Installing the Camera” or after you
perform a factory reset procedure, you must access the PTZ IP camera and make initial configuration
settings. These settings include administrator and root passwords, and whether the PTZ 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 PTZ IP camera from any PC that is on the same
network as the PTZ IP camera. The PC must meet these requirements:
•
Operating system—Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
•
Browser—Internet Explorer 8.0 (32-bit only)
In addition, you must know the IP address and default login credentials of the PTZ IP camera. By default,
when the PTZ 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 PTZ 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 PTZ 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 PTZ 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 PTZ 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
Enter the default login credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin
The Initialization window appears.
Cisco Video Surveillance PTZ IP Camera Installation Guide

Chapter 3
Step 3
Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
In the Password and Confirm Password fields of the admin row, enter a password for the PTZ IP camera
administrator.
You must enter the same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and must contain at least
eight characters, which can be letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces. Special characters
are: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~.
Step 4
In the Password and Confirm Password fields of the Root row, enter a password that is used when
accessing the PTZ IP camera through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.
You must enter the same password in both fields. The password is case sensitive and must contain at least
eight characters, which can be letters, numbers, and special characters, but no spaces. Special characters
are: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~.
You use the root password if you need to troubleshoot the PTZ IP camera through an SSH connection
with the assistance of the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.
Step 5
In the Access Protocols area, check the Enable HTTP check box if you want to allow both HTTP and
HTTPS connections to the IP camera.
By default, only the Enable HTTPS check box is checked, which allows only HTTPS (secure)
connections to the IP camera.
Step 6
Click Apply.
The PTZ IP camera reboots and the Login window appears.
Step 7
After the PTZ IP camera reboots, start Internet Explorer and, in the Address field, enter the following:
protocol://ip_address
where:
Step 8
•
protocol is HTTPS or HTTP. (You can use HTTP only if you enabled it in Step 5.)
•
ip_address is the IP address that you used in Step 1.
If you are prompted to install ActiveX controls, which are required to view video from the IP camera,
follow the on-screen prompts to do so.

Motion Detection Settings
Description
Enable Motion Detection check box Enables the motion detection feature and displays a grid over the video image.
When motion detection is enabled, the PTZ IP camera monitors activity in regions
of the video that you specify. If activity at a defined level occurs in any of these
areas, the PTZ IP camera generates an alert and takes the actions that are configured
as described in the Event Notification Window in the PTZ IP camera web-based
interface.
After motion detection has been enabled, you create specific regions that the PTZ IP
camera monitors for activity. To create a motion detection region, right-click on the
video image, choose Draw Region, and then click and drag across the motion
detection grid to draw a green square or rectangle comprised of one or more grid
squares. Up to eight of the following regions can be drawn:
•
Motion inclusion regions—Designate areas to examine for motion. You can
draw up to four motion inclusion regions.
•
Motion Exclusion Regions—Designate areas to ignore for motion. You can
draw up to four motion exclusion regions.
For each region listed under the Region Properties area, you can configure the
following properties:
•
IsActive—Specifies whether the region is active (enabled) or not active
(disabled). Chose true to enable a region; choose False to disable a region.
•
Location—Specifies the grid coordinate (X, Y) for the upper left corner of the
region.
•
Name—You can enter a name of up to 12 characters for a region.
•
Region Type—Specifies whether the region is an inclusion or an exclusion
region. Choose Inclusion to have the region examine for motion; choose
Exclusion to have the region ignore motion.
•
Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the PTZ IP camera
must detect in the area before it generates an alert. A lower value means that
more, or faster, activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value means that
less, or slower, activity is required. The default value is 80.
•
Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the PTZ IP camera must
identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera detects
pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default threshold value is 10.
To reset the sensitivity and threshold to their default values of 80 and 10
respectively, right-click on the region, and choose Restore Values.
To remove a region, right-click it, and choose Delete Region.
