Accessing the IP Camera

The first time you access the camera, the live video page appears. By default, you are viewing the video as a public user and only have access to the single stream live view.

If, for security purposes, users should not be allowed to view video without first logging on to the camera, change the permissions for public users.

Logging on to the Camera

Step 1 Open the Web browser.

Step 2 Type the camera’s IP address in the browser address bar.

Note If the camera is not connected to a DHCP server but DHCP is set to On, the default IP address 192.168.0.20 on subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is automatically assigned to the camera. After the first camera is connected and assigned the default IP address, the system will automatically look for other cameras on the auto IP address system and assign IP addresses in sequential order as required. For example if three cameras are connected to a network without a DHCP server, the first camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.20, the second camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.21, and the third camera will be assigned address 192.168.0.22. Contact your network administrator to avoid network conflicts before setting/changing the camera's IP address. See the “Network Tab” section on page 3-9for more information.

Step 3 Click the Login button in the navigation bar; a dialog box appears.

Step 4 Enter your user ID and password.

Note If you are logging on to the camera as the administrator for the first time, the default User ID and Password are admin (all lowercase). For security purposes, be sure to change the password after you log on for the first time.

Step 5 Click Log In.

5011, 5010 specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology, providing robust solutions for businesses worldwide. Among its many offerings, the Cisco 5010 and 5011 models stand out as powerful devices designed to address the needs of modern data centers and enterprises requiring reliable and high-performance networking solutions.

The Cisco 5010 is a fixed-configuration switch that combines advanced features suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. It supports a range of Ethernet and wireless technologies, allowing seamless integration into various network infrastructures. With a capacity for Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, the 5010 facilitates efficient data routing and switching, ensuring optimal performance for diverse applications.

On the other hand, the Cisco 5011 builds upon the 5010's capabilities, offering enhanced features and scalability. It is designed for organizations that demand higher performance and advanced networking capabilities. This model supports more VLANs and can handle increased traffic loads, making it suitable for larger enterprises or data centers.

One of the key features of both models is Cisco's advanced security protocols. They provide comprehensive protection against unauthorized access and network threats, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure. The switches also support segmentation and access control lists (ACLs), allowing administrators to manage network traffic effectively.

Both the 5010 and 5011 models are equipped with Cisco's innovative IOS software, providing users with a familiar interface for configuration and management. This software allows for automation of routine tasks, reducing administrative overhead and minimizing potential errors.

In terms of performance, both switches are built to handle high-speed connectivity, supporting multiple gigabit interfaces. They also feature advanced Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, which prioritize critical network traffic and maintain high performance during peak usage times. The support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows businesses to power devices like IP phones and access points directly through the switch, simplifying infrastructure requirements.

Scalability is another important characteristic of the Cisco 5010 and 5011. They can accommodate growth in network size and complexity without compromising performance, making them future-proof investments for enterprises.

In conclusion, the Cisco 5010 and 5011 switches are exemplary products that illustrate Cisco's commitment to delivering high-quality networking solutions. With their advanced features, robust security, scalability, and high performance, they cater to the needs of modern businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and operational efficiency.
