Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera

Applications Windows

Applications Windows

The Applications windows provide options for configuring and managing a variety of applications and IP camera activities.

The following sections describe the Applications windows in detail:

Mail & FTP Window, page 3-28.

Motion Detection Window, page 3-30

Event Window, page 3-31

SNMP Window, page 3-34

Alarm I/O Ports Window, page 3-35

PTZ (RS-485) Window, page 3-36

Preset Positions Window, page 3-37

Mail & FTP Window

When the IP camera detects an event, it can send an e-mail message to up to three designated recipients. The e-mail notifies recipients that an event occurred and provides access to video of the event. The Mail & FTP window includes options for configuring how such messages are sent. You enable e-mail alerts and configure options for event video files as described in the “Event Window” section on page 3-31.

The e-mail message includes the subject line that you configure. In addition, depending on your configuration, the message can provide video of the event that triggered the alert in either or both of the following ways:

By including a link to an FTP server from which recipients can download the video file to a local PC.

By including the video file as an attachment that recipients can view using a standard media player. The file name is Camera_name-Event_Name-yymmdd-hhmmss.xxx, where:

Camera_name is the name of the IP camera, as configured in the Camera Name field in the Basic Setup window.

Event_name describes the event that caused the alert. For motion detection events, this field is the name of the video field area in which motion was detected (for example, Window 2). For input events, this field is input1 or input2, depending on which input port the event was detected.

yymmdd is the 2-digit year, month, and date on which the event occurred.

hhmmss is the, hours, minutes, and seconds at which the event occurred.

xxx is the format of the file (asf, mp4, or 3gp), as configured in the Video Format (MPSG-4) field in the Event window.

Note A large video file may exceed the maximum file size for e-mail attachments that is configured on your mail server.

By default, the video in a video file starts when an event starts and ends 5 seconds after the event ends. You can designate that additional video be included before and after an event as described in the “Event Window” section on page 3-31.

CIVS-IPC-2500, 2500 Series specifications

The Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are a series of versatile, feature-rich networking devices designed to address the needs of various enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses. Released in the early 1990s, the 2500 Series quickly became a backbone solution for organizations seeking reliable and efficient networking capabilities.

One of the defining characteristics of the Cisco 2500 Series is its modular architecture, which allows businesses to customize their routers based on specific networking needs. This modularity accommodates various interface cards, enabling the integration of different protocols and connection types, including serial, Ethernet, and WAN interfaces. As a result, organizations can tailor their routers to support diverse applications while ensuring optimal performance.

The Cisco 2500 Series supports several advanced routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP. This support provides flexibility for network design and ensures that users can implement scalable solutions as their business grows. Moreover, the routers come equipped with robust security features, including access control lists (ACLs) and support for VPNs, making them suitable for organizations that require a secure network environment.

A notable feature of the Cisco 2500 Series is its support for Quality of Service (QoS). This functionality allows organizations to prioritize certain types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communications and need to maintain high levels of service quality.

Additionally, the implementation of Cisco’s internetworking technologies, such as IP and frame relay, enhances the overall performance and versatility of the 2500 Series routers. These technologies enable efficient data transmission and improve network reliability, which is essential for organizations with complex networking requirements.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are known for their modular design, support for multiple routing protocols, robust security features, and advanced QoS capabilities. Their ability to adapt to different networking environments makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and streamline their operations. Even decades after their introduction, the 2500 Series remains a relevant player in the networking market, demonstrating Cisco's commitment to providing effective solutions for diverse industries.
