Selecting Auto Exposure Settings

Figure 3-4 Auto Exposure Page

Step 1 Place your mouse pointer over the Imaging tab.

Step 2 Select Exposure from the drop-down menu.

Step 3 Select the Auto mode.

Step 4 Select the Light Control method: Digital Exposure or Auto-Iris Exposure.

•Digital Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the sensor exposure time depending on the light level at the scene. For very bright scenes, the exposure time is very short and, as the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is increased until the maximum exposure time is reached. Digital Exposure is the default setting and provides the best image quality for the majority of scenes.

•Auto-Iris Exposure: This setting automatically adjusts the lens iris depending on the light level at the scene. For this setting, the sensor exposure time is fixed. Select Auto-Iris if the video shows flickering or rolling bands due to 50 Hz or 60 Hz lighting. Most lighting situations do not require this setting.

Step 5 Select the Exposure Optimization setting: Normal or Action. These are optimizations of the Digital Exposure control.

•Normal: This setting is for very bright scenes and exposure time is very short. As the scene becomes less bright, the exposure time is increased until the maximum exposure time is reached. Normal is the default setting.

•Action: This setting operates similar to Normal except the short exposure times are used for both bright and mid-level lighting. This minimizes the blur in video caused by moving objects. For very low light scenes, Action optimization operates the same as Normal, increasing the exposure time until the maximum exposure time is reached.

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.
