Operation

System Tab

Step 2 Click the Device Name box and highlight the text.

Step 3 Type a user-friendly name into the Device Name box (2 to 64 characters). A user-friendly name makes it easier to recognize the device on the network. Examples of user-friendly names are Front Door, Lobby, or Parking Lot.

Step 4 Click Save to save the new device name, or click Reset to restore to the previously saved device name.

Configuring the Time Settings

If the camera is connected to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network that has time server properties configured, the camera will synchronize automatically with the time server. If the DHCP network’s time server properties are not configured or the network does not have a time server, you need to configure the DHCP settings manually.

Click the System tab.

Step 1 Select General from the drop-down menu.

Step 2 Type the IP address of the time server in the Time Server field. The time server is an external server that uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the camera date and time settings.

Step 3 Select the Time Zone option. Select the continent and the region that are closest to the camera’s location from the Time Zone drop down menus.

Note If your location observes a form of daylight saving time, the system will automatically change the time on the associated dates.

Step 4 Set the Overlay setting. Select On to overlay the date and time on the video stream, or select Off to turn off this setting.

Step 5 Click the Save button to save the settings, or click the Reset button to clear all of the information you entered without saving it.

Customizing the Appearance of the Text Overlay

Step 1

Click the System tab.

Step 2

Select General from the drop-down menu.

Step 3

Set the Text Overlay settings:

Date/Time Overlay: Select Show to display the date and time in the live view overlay. The default setting is Hide.

Camera Name Overlay: Select Show to display the device name in the live view overlay. The default setting is Hide.

Step 4 Select the display position for the overlay from the Position drop-down menu. Selections include Top Right, Top Center, Top Left, Bottom Right, Bottom Center, and Bottom Left.

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.
