Compression Standards

JPEG: A commonly used video compression scheme, also known as MJPEG. JPEG has the least impact on the camera's processor, but it requires the most bandwidth.

H264: A new version of MPEG-4 compression used in high-definition video players such as Blu-rayand HD-DVD. H.264 is the most processor-intensive, but it requires the least amount of bandwidth.

Available Camera Resolution

The resolution capabilities of the cameras are 1080P (1920 x 1080), 720P (1280 x 720), 4CIF (640 x 352), CIF (480 x 272), and QCIF (320 x 176).

Image Rate

The image rate is the number of images per second (ips) available for the video stream configuration. Available image rates are 30, 25, 24, 15, 12.5, 12, 10, 8, 7.5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.5, 2, and 1.

Note The maximum image rate setting might not be obtainable due to the programmed compression standard and the resolution of the stream.

Refer to the following section for more information:

Chapter 4, “Specifications”

Bit Rate

The bit rate is the quality of the video stream (rendered in kilobits per second). The higher the value, the higher the video quality and bandwidth required.

Note When you change any of the video stream configuration settings, the camera automatically adjusts the bit rate. If you manually reduce the bit rate lower than the camera's automatic setting, the image quality might be reduced and the stream selection options might be limited.

Quality of Service for Differentiated Services Code Point

Quality of Service (QoS) for Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is a code that allows the network to prioritize the transmission of different types of data. This setting is only available with H.264.

NOTES:

If you are not familiar with DSCP, contact your network administrator before changing this setting.

Your network must be configured to use QoS. If you are unsure if your network is QoS-aware, contact your network administrator.

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.
