Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera

Applications Windows

If you change any options in the Motion Detection window, you must click Apply to save the changes.

Note In addition to moving objects, motion detection can be triggered by rapid changes in lighting conditions or by movement of the IP camera itself.

Table 3-16describes the options in the Motion Detection window.

Table 3-16 Motion Detection Window Options

Option

Description

 

 

Setting Custom Area

Check this check box to cause the IP camera to examine up to 4 areas in its

 

video field for activity. Then configure these options:

 

• Window check boxes—Check up to 4 check boxes to specify up to 4

 

areas in the IP camera video field. If desired, enter a name of up to 12

 

characters for each area in the field next to the corresponding check box.

 

When you check a check box, a window appears in the IP camera view.

 

This window designates the area to examine for motion. Drag the

 

window to the desired area, and drag an edge or corner of the window to

 

resize it.

 

To remove a window, uncheck its check box.

 

• Indicator—Display only. Horizontal bar that represents how much

 

activity is being detected in the area. You can test the sensitivity setting

 

by causing motion the area and looking at this indicator.

 

• Sensitivity—Drag the slider to specify the relative amount of activity in

 

the area that causes an event alert. A lower value means that more

 

activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value means that less

 

activity is required.

 

 

Event Window

The Event window provides options for configuring how the IP camera handles events. An event is either of the following:

•Motion that the IP camera detects. For related information about motion detection, see the “Motion Detection Window” section on page 3-30.

•A change of state from low to high or from high to low on an input port of the IP camera. For related information about input ports, see the “Alarm I/O Ports Window” section on page 3-35.

When an event occurs, it triggers the IP camera to take certain configured actions. For example, an event can cause the IP camera to send a notification e-mail message to designated recipients and upload a video file to an SMTP server or an FTP server, or it can cause the IP camera to activate an output port.

The Event window allows you to designate up to 10 schedules. If an event takes place within a designated schedule, the IP camera takes the actions that you configure.

To display the Event window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Applications, then click Event.

If you change any options in the Event window, except deleting an event from the event schedule list, you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save. These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.

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.
