Release Notes for Cisco Video Surveillance High Definition IP Cameras, Release 2.6.0
First Published: July 20, 2015
These release notes provide important information for the Cisco Video Surveillance High Definition IP camera, Release 2.6.0, which applies to the following Cisco IP camera models:
CIVS-IPC-3050—A ruggedized, outdoor, high-definition video endpoint with industry-leading image quality and processing power. This vibration resistant camera is ideal for use in transportation applications such as buses, trains, and other moving vehicles. The IK10- and IP66-rated housing combined with a low profile also make this camera suitable for discreet placement in harsh environments. Video can be streamed at a full 720p resolution at 30 frames per second (fps) while optimizing network usage with either H.264 or MJPEG compression. With its open, standards-based design, the camera provides an ideal platform for integration and operation as an independent device or as part of a Cisco video surveillance network.
CIVS-IPC-7070—A 360 degree IP camera that provides excellent situational awareness from a very small footprint. This 5 megapixel (MP) IP camera can function in complete darkness by utilizing integrated IR illuminators built into the camera housing. It can capture a much more comprehensive area than a standard VGA model, significantly reducing the number of units required. It is especially suitable for monitoring wide open areas.
Cisco Video Surveillance IP camera firmware release 2.6.0 supports the following new features:
Updated operating system and browser support—Support for Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit or 64-bit) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (32-bit)
Image overlay—New image overlay options in the Video Overlay window allow configuring an image that appears as an overly on the video image from the IP camera
Clear tamper alert—New options in the Camera Window allow configuring the IP camera to clear a tamper alert automatically after a designated amount of time
