Primary Stream and Secondary Stream

The Primary Stream and Secondary Stream are video streams that include compression, resolution, image rate, and bit rate settings. The streams can be set up using a video preset setting, or they can be customized using the video configuration settings.

A video preset is a pre-defined video configuration that offers a good balance between video performance and bandwidth usage. For easy stream configuration, see the “Selecting a Video Preset Configuration” section on page 3-26.

To customize the Primary Stream or Secondary Stream use the Video Configuration page located in the drop-down menu of the A/V Streams Tab. See the “Configuring a Custom Video Stream Configuration” section on page 3-27. Configurable settings include the stream name, compression standard, resolution setting, image rate, and bit rate. The default names for the streams are Primary Stream and Secondary Stream; however, if these stream names have been changed, the new names will replace the default names (Primary Stream and Secondary Stream) on the Select Stream page.

QuickView Stream

The QuickView Stream is a predefined JPEG video stream with VGA resolution. This low resolution, low frame rate stream is displayed when the Imaging Tab settings are configured. This allows users to view changes to exposure, white balance, and tone map settings as they are configured and before the settings are saved.

The QuickView Stream is also ideal for users who are connected to a network with processor bandwidth limitations that might cause a high resolution, high frame rate video stream to pause or appear pixilated.

The aspect ratio of the QuickView Stream mirrors that of the Primary Stream. The only stream setting that is selectable is the framerate: 2 ips or 1 ips.

Unicast

A unicast transmission sends a separate video stream to each user that is requesting data. Although multiple users might request the same data from the camera at the same time, duplicate video streams are transmitted to each user. Every unicast user that connects to the camera consumes additional processing power, which limits the number of simultaneous users who can access the camera.

The camera supports a maximum of 20 simultaneous users.

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.
