Chapter 1 Overview

IP Camera Features

Video analytics (CIVS-IPC-4500E only)—Provides an intuitive interface and tools for video analysis.

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 8 GB of USB flash storage of video data when the camera loses network connectivity.

Day/night switch support—An IR-cut filter provides increased sensitivity in low-light conditions.

Two-way audio communication—Audio can be encoded with the video. With the internal or optional external microphone and optional external speaker, you can communicate with people at the IP camera location while you are in a remote location and viewing images from the IP camera.

Multi-protocolsupport—Supports these protocols: DHCP, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, NTP, RTP, RTSP, SMTP, SNMP v2 and v3, SSL/TLS, and TCP/IP.

Web-basedmanagement—You perform ongoing administration and management of the IP camera through web-based configuration menus.

Motion detection—The IP camera can detect motion in user-designated fields of view by analyzing changes in pixels and generate an alert if motion is detected.

Flexible scheduling—You can configure the IP camera to respond to events that occur within a designated schedule.

Syslog support—The IP camera can send log data to a Syslog server.

IP address filter—You can designate IP addresses that can access the IP camera and IP addresses that cannot access the IP camera.

User-definable HTTP/ HTTPS port number—Allows you to define the port that is used to connect to the camera through the Internet.

DHCP support—The IP camera can automatically obtain its IP addresses in a network in which DHCP is enabled.

Network Time Protocol (NTP) support—Allows the IP camera to calibrate its internal clock with a local or Internet time server.

Support for C and CS mount lenses—The IP camera supports a variety of C and CS mount lenses.

PTZ support—The IP camera supports Pelco D protocol, which enables PTZ functions when used with a supported motorized zoom lens, external pan/tilt mount, and control device.

Power options—The IP camera can be powered with 12 volts DC or 24 volts AC, which is provided through an optional external power adapter, or through PoE (802.3af), which is provided through a supported switch.

Camera access control—You can control access to IP camera configuration windows and live video by configuring various user types and log in credentials.
