Introduction
The Cisco Video Surveillance 3530 IP camera is an outdoor, high definition, professional fixed dome
IP camera with industry-leading image quality and processing power. The 1 megapixel (MP) IP camera
offers 720p full HD resolution (up to 1280 x 800) with superb image quality up to 30 frames per second
(FPS) while optimizing network usage with either H.264 or MJPEG compression. 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 outdoor areas such as building entrances,
airports, or applications requiring accurate identification.
For complete installation and tampering prevention, the 3530 IP camera also fits different conduits and
corrugated tubes sizes for cable installation. Its IP66-rated housing is designed to help the camera body
withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under a multitude of harsh weather conditions. The wide
temperature range further enhances the 3530 IP camera performance and reliability in extremely cold
and warm weather. Additionally, the metal vandal-proof housing effectively provides robust protection
from vandalism.
With other advanced features such 802.3af compliant PoE, micro SD/SDHC card for local storage, and
e-PTZ functionality, the 3530 IP camera provides the most robust solution suitable for any demanding
outdoor environment.

Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera
After you install IP camera as described in the Chapter 2, “Camera Installation,” or after you perform a
factory reset procedure, you must access the IP camera and make initial configuration settings. These
settings include administrator and root passwords, and whether the IP camera can be accessed through
an HTTP connection in addition to the default HTTPS (HTTP secure) connection.
To make these configuration settings, you connect to the IP camera from any PC that is on the same
network as the IP camera. The PC must meet these requirements:
•
•
Operating system—Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
Browser—Internet Explorer 8.0 (32-bit only)
In addition, you must know the IP address and default login credentials of the IP camera. By default,
when the IP camera powers on, it attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server in your network.
If the camera cannot obtain an IP address through DCHP within 90 seconds, it uses a default IP address
of 192.168.0.100. The default login credentials (Username/Password) are admin/admin.
To connect to the IP camera for the first time and make initial configuration settings, perform the
following steps. You can change these configuration settings in the future as described in the Cisco Video
Surveillance 3000 Series IP Camera Configuration Guide.
Before you Begin
The Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 or later must be installed on the PC that you use to connect
to the IP camera. You can download the .NET Framework from the Microsoft website.

Motion detection controls
Note
These controls appear when you click the Up Arrow in the Motion Detection area and are
available only viewing the primary (H.264) stream.
Enable Motion
Enables the motion detection feature and displays a grid over the video image.
Detection check box
When motion detection is enabled, the IP camera monitors activity in the video
field areas that you specify. If activity at a defined level occurs in any of these
areas, the IP camera generates an alert and takes the configured actions.
To designate specific areas that the IP camera monitors for activity, select the
areas by clicking each grid cell over the area. A red border indicates a selected
area. To deselect an area, click it again.
You can configure the following levels for areas that the IP camera monitors
for activity:
•
Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the IP camera
must detect in the area before it generates an alert. A lower value means
that more, or faster, activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value
means that less, or slower, activity is required. The default value is 80.
•
Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the IP camera must
identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera
detects pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default threshold
value is 10.
To configure sensitivity or threshold, right-click a grid cell that has a red
border and then drag the Sensitivity and Threshold sliders to the desired
values. Alternatively, enter a value from 1 through 100 for an option and press
the Enter key. To reset the sensitivity and threshold to their default values of
50, click Restore. These configuration settings affect the cell that you select.
If the cell is part of a group of horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally)
adjacent cells, the settings affect all cells in the group.
Full Screen check
box
Becomes available when you click check Enable Motion Detection check box.
Check the Full Screen check box to cause the IP camera to examine the entire
video field for activity.
You can configure the following items for this video field:
•
Sensitivity—Designates the relative amount of activity that the IP camera
must detect in the area before it generates an alert. A lower value means
that more, or faster, activity is required to trigger an alert. A higher value
means that less, or slower, activity is required. The default value is 80.
•
Threshold—Designates the percentage of pixels that the IP camera must
identify as changed in the area before it generates an alert. The camera
monitors for pixel changes at the defined sensitivity level. The default
threshold value is 10.
To configure sensitivity or threshold, right-click anywhere in the video field
border and then drag the Sensitivity and Threshold sliders to the desired
values. Alternatively, enter a value from 1 through 100 for an option and press
the Enter key. To reset the sensitivity and threshold to their default values of
50, click Restore.
