This chapter provides information about getting started with and understanding the IP camera. It includes the following sections:
he Cisco Video Surveillance 8930 IP Cameras is a high-definition, full-functioned video endpoint, designed to enhance low light surveillance in large coverage areas and provides a superb image in challenging situations. The camera comes with integrated camera optics package that offer 360° continuous pan rotation and 256 PTZ presets. In addition, the camera supports an SD/SDHC slot for local storage that can be used if network connectivity is lost. The camera supports four simultaneous video streams, which can be compressed in MJPEG, H.264, and H.265 formats across several resolution configurations, and can be configured in a variety of frame rates and bit rates or additional bandwidth administration. It features a 1/2.8-inch CMOS for increased sensitivity, and low light technology that allows the cameras to compensate in scenes where minimal light is present. In addition, the camera features built-in motion detection and advanced wide dynamic range (WDR) that enables the system to compensate in scenes where dramatic contrasts in lighting are present.
Key features and benefits of the Cisco Video Surveillance cameras include:

The recessed button (see Figure 1-1) is used to reset the system or restore the factory default settings. Sometimes resetting the system can return the camera to normal operation. If the system problems remain after reset, restore the factory settings and install again.
The camera is compliant with SD/SDHC/SDXC 32GB, 64GB, and other preceding standard SD cards.
Tip If you forget the root (administrator) password for the camera, you can restore the camera defaults by pressing the reset button for longer than 5 seconds.
If DHCP is enabled in your network, and the camera cannot be accessed, run the Cisco setup software utility to search the network. If the camera has been configured with a fixed IP that does not comply with your local network, you may see its default IP 169.254.x.x. If you still cannot find the camera, you can restore the camera to its factory defaults. The factory default is DHCP client.
If you change your network parameters, for example by adding a camera via a connection to a LAN card, restart the Cisco setup software utility.
In order to control AC devices, Figure 1-3 can be taken into consideration. This figure uses a relay to control the ON/OFF condition of the AC device.
The product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked "L.P.S." (or "Limited Power Source") and rated output 24Vac, 50/60Hz, 1.28A minimum or 48Vdc (PoE), 0.35A minimum |
To install the Cisco Video Surveillance 8930 IP Camera, on a ceiling or wall, follow these steps:
Step 1 Make a note of the MAC address of the camera.
The MAC address is printed on the label that is attached to the camera.
Step 2 The camera weighs 6kg. Select a rigid mounting location to prevent vibration to the camera. Attach the alignment sticker to the wall.
Step 3 Drill 4 pilot holes (9.5mm in diameter and 4cm deep) into the wall, and then hammer in threaded anchors. You should hammer the anchors with hex nuts on them so that the threaded poles will not be deformed. If preferred, drill another hole for routing cables
Step 4 Remove the hex nuts, washers, and leave one washer on each of the threaded poles.
Note IO wires are user-supplied.
Avoid touching the circuit boards to prevent damage by electro static discharge.
Use CAT5e, CAT6 cables only.
Step 5 Connect power or I/O wires, and use foam tapes or seal foam to ensure the back-end connection is waterproof.
Step 6 Route your I/O combo and Ethernet cables along the routing guide poles to form drip loops.
Step 7 Secure the bracket to wall.
The cable length hanging on the outside of the bracket should be 15cm.
Step 8 Remove the cable gland from the LAN port. If I/O wires or 24V power are preferred, use the T20 L-wrench to remove the top cover on the I/O connectors.
Step 9 Install the safety wire bracket, and hook up the safety wire between the bracket and the camera. Also connect the ground wire to the safety wire bracket.
Step 10 Install the components of the waterproof cable gland to the Ethernet and I/O combo cables.
Make sure the outer jacket of the combo cable is flush with the cabling hole.
Step 11 Connect the I/O wire headers to the camera and then secure the top cover.
Step 12 Connect the Ethernet cable (along with its cable gland) to the camera.
Note To disconnect a LAN cable, loosen the cable gland and pull the cable against the socket wall towards the side of the locking tab
Important: Make sure all waterproof cable glands have been properly installed. Water leakage will cause irreparable damage to the camera
Step 13 Connect the included ground wire.
Connect the ground wire to the copper screw hole on the cabinet door.
Connect all ground wires (including those from the surge protectors) to one position on the cabinet door, to the terminal block, and then to the external ground.
Step 14 Install the camera to bracket by aligning the mark on bracket with the #1 marking on the camera.
Step 15 Turn the camera clockwise. The camera should be locked in place.
Step 16 Secure the connection using the T25 L-wrench from the top
Figure 1-5 shows specifications for the I/O combo cable for the camera.
All materials must be RoHS Compliant

The following sections provide information about deploying the camera on a network:
There are several ways to set up the Network Camera over the Internet. The first way is to set up the Network Camera behind a router. The second way is to utilize a static IP. The third way is to use PPPoE.
Internet Connection via a Router
Before enabling the access to the Network Camera over the Internet, make sure you have a router and follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect your camera behind a router, the Internet environment is illustrated in Figure 1-8.
Figure 1-8 Connecting the Camera Via a Router
Step 2 In this case, if the Local Area Network (LAN) IP address of your camera is 192.168.0.3, forward the following ports for the camera on the router.:
If you have changed the port numbers on the Network page, open the ports accordingly on your router. For information about how to forward ports on the router, see your router documentation.
Step 3 Find out the public IP address of your router provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Use the public IP and the secondary HTTP port to access the camera from the Internet. See the “Network > General settings” section for more information.
For example, your router and IP settings may look like this:
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Configure the router, virtual server, or firewall so that the router can forward any data coming into a preconfigured port number to a camera on the private network, and allow data from the camera to be transmitted to the outside of the network over the same path.
|
|
---|---|
When properly configured, you can access a camera behind the router using the HTTP request such as: http://122.146.57.120:8000.
If you change the port numbers on the Network configuration page, open the ports accordingly on your router. For example, you can open a management session with your router to configure access through the router to the camera within your local network. See your network administrator for router configuration if you have trouble with the configuration.
For more information about network configuration options (such as that of streaming ports), choose Configuration > Network in the IP camera web-based interface. Cisco also provides the automatic port forwarding feature as an NAT traversal function with the precondition that your router must support the UPnP port forwarding feature.
Internet connection with static IP
Choose this connection type if you are required to use a static IP for the Network Camera. See the “Network > General settings” section for more information.
Internet connection via PPPoE (Point-to-Point over Ethernet)
Choose this connection type if you are connected to the Internet via a DSL Line. See the description of PPPoE (Point-to-point over Ethernet) in the “Network > General settings” section.
Step 1 Connect the Network Camera's Ethernet cable (CAT5e) to a PoE Plus switch.
A 60W PoE output port alone can not drive the onboard heater, so if using the PoE switch alone, the application does not apply in low-temperature condition. When working under a temperature lower than –10ºC, a DC 24V 2.3A power adapter is required.
Step 2 Connect the power wires to a DC 24V power adapter (user-supplied). The DC 24V adapter can drive the camera and the onboard heater.
You can connect both power sources for redundancy in power supply.
Use a High Power PoE power injector capable of 60W output or higher to connect between the camera and a non-PoE switch, as shown in Figure 1-9. Sufficient power is required for low temperature conditions when the onboard heater is activated
