Using the IP Camera with Cisco VSM
Cisco Video Surveillance Manager (VSM) is a suite of powerful and flexible video surveillance
applications that interoperate with a wide range of devices and cameras to provide a complete,
standards-based video surveillance solution. VSM consists of modules to manage, archive, view, and
distribute video.
The following guidelines apply when you use the IP camera with VSM:
• Obtaining the Required Driver Pack
To use the IP camera with VSM, you must download and install a driver pack. For information about
this driver pack, refer to your VSM documentation, which is available here:
http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/ps/products.html#netcentric
• The IP camera must be installed and configured as described in Chapter 2, “Getting Started.”
• 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 3-19.
• A user with administrator privileges cannot 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 3-19.
