What's New in this Release
The release includes the following new features and functionality:
•Support for 352 x 208, 704 x 400, and 768 x 432 resolutions for both primary and secondary streams on Cisco 3000 Series, 6000 Series, and 7030 cameras.
•Support for 1Mbps bitrate for the 1920 x1080 resolution on Cisco 6000 Series and 7030 cameras.
•Support for 1.5 Mbps bitrate for certain resolutions on Cisco 2830, 2835, 3000 Series, 6000 Series and 7030 cameras.
Important Notes
•When VSM 7.0.1 manages a Cisco 6930, 2830, or 2835 camera, it automatically enables the HTTP protocol on the camera and uses this protocol to send PTZ commands to the camera. Other configuration commands continue to use the HTTPS protocol.
•In PTZ Tour Configuration, the configured transition time configured includes the time that it takes the camera to move from the one preset position to the next preset position in addition to the time that the camera is expected to stay in the preset position. If the transition time is configured to a value that is less than the time that it takes the camera to move from one preset position to the next, the camera moves between the first and second presets positions only, instead of touring between all preset positions that are configured in the tour.
•If you configure a resolution of 352 x 208, 704 x 400, or 768 x 432 for the primary or secondary stream on Cisco 3000 Series, 6000 Series, and 7030 cameras and then need to downgrade the firmware on the camera, first set the resolution back to its original value. If you downgrade a camera when its resolution is set to 352 x 208, 704 x 400, or 768 x 432, the camera might reboot.
