Guidelines for Using the IP Camera with VSM

The following guidelines apply when you use the IP camera with VSM:

The IP camera must be installed and configured as described in the “Installing the IP Camera” section on page 2-1and the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4.

To manage the camera by using VSM, you must enable the camera for access through HTTP. VSM does not support access through HTTPS.

For configuration instructions, see the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4.

You must to create a separate user account with administrator privileges for each Media Server. Configuration connections for a Media Server are limited just as they are for user sessions. Viewing and managing video streams from VSM requires administrator-level privileges.

For information about how to configure a user account, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-14

A user with administrator privileges cannot simultaneously be logged in to the IP camera and use VSM at the same time

Cisco recommends that you configure video resolution (NTSC or PAL) from the IP camera configuration windows.

For instructions, see the “Video Window” section on page 3-14.
