Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing your Cisco Small Business WVC210 Wireless-G

PTZ Internet Camera. Cisco is the leader in Wi-Fi certified Internet cameras, and
the Cisco WVC210 Network Camera is part of the largest portfolio of Wi-Fi
certified cameras in the marketplace.
The Cisco WVC210 Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera sends live video
through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world. The camera
supports dual codecs (MPEG-4 and MJPEG), which can be used simultaneously.
MPEG-4 gives efficient bandwidth consumption with good-quality compression
and is optimal for real-time viewing of video. MJPEG gives optimal video quality,
making it ideal for large-volume storage to a network attached storage (NAS)
device.
The Cisco WVC210's audio capabilities include two-way audio, an embedded
microphone, external speaker and microphone ports, and voice compression. With
extensive support for features such as IP multicast, Real Time Streaming Protocol
(RTSP), Real Time Protocol (RTP), and 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP),
it enables video to be viewed from multiple endpoints and client applications,
such as 3G phones and QuickTime clients on PCs or Wi-Fi phones. Network
protocols such as 802.1p priority, 802.1Q VLANs, and Dynamic DNS (DDNS) are
also supported.
The pan/tilt and digital zoom functions allow you to remotely control the cameras
movement and zoom, giving you maximum remote flexibility. Up to 10
simultaneous unicast users can access the camera at any time. Video monitoring
software is included for monitoring multiple cameras and recording to your hard
drive, with advanced search by time and date. Recording can be set up to start by
motion trigger or by manual or scheduled recording. Playback is available on
Windows Media Player, with no need for a proprietary player.
You can also enable security mode, which tells the camera to send a message
with a short attached video to up to three e-mail addresses whenever it detects
motion in its field of view. You can then log in through a web browser to view the
live video stream if the situation warrants. Wireless security options include Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and WPA
Enterprise.

Planning Your Wireless Network
Careful planning is required for a wireless network, to ensure that your users can
access the network resources that they need and to ensure that intruders are kept
out.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure Modes, page 4
Wireless Network Layout, page 5
Security Threats Facing Wireless Networks, page 6
Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure Modes

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is exactly like a regular local area network
(LAN), except that each computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to connect
to the network. Computers and other devices, such as peripherals, in a WLAN
share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name for
wireless devices.
Unlike wired networks, wireless networks have two different modes in which they
may be set up: infrastructure and ad-hoc.
Infrastructure modeThe WLAN and wired LAN communicate through an

access point. Choose this mode if the wireless network needs to share data
or peripherals, such as printers, with a wired network.
The basis of infrastructure mode centers around an access point, which
serves as the main point of communications in a wireless network. (A
wireless router can also be used because a wireless router incorporates
the capabilities of an access point.) Access points transmit data to PCs
equipped with wireless network cards, which can roam within a certain
radial range of the access point. Multiple access points can be arranged to
work in succession to extend the roaming range, and can be set up to
communicate with your Ethernet (wired) hardware as well.

Ad-hoc modeWireless computers communicate directly with one

another. Choose this mode if your wireless network does not require
access to data or peripherals on a wired network.
If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only
with the other computers on the wireless network, then ad-hoc mode can
be used. Ad-hoc mode allows computers equipped with wireless
transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with each other,
eliminating the need for an access point. The drawback of this mode is that
wireless-equipped computers are not able to communicate with computers
on a wired network. And, of course, communication between the wirelessequipped computers is limited by the distance and interference directly
between them.

The Cisco WVC210 Internet camera is compatible with all 802.11g and 802.11n
routers, such as model number WRVS4400N, as well as all 802.11g access points,
including model number WAP4410N. The camera can also communicate with
network adapters, such as the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (model number
WPC4400N) for your laptop computers, Wireless-G PCI Adapter (model numbers
WMP200) for your desktop PCs, and Wireless-G USB Adapter (model number
WUSB200) for your computers that connect to the wireless network through USB
modems.
With these, and many other Cisco products, your networking options are limitless.
Go to the Cisco website at www.cisco.com for more information about Cisco
products.
NOTE Your wireless range is variable and depends on your environment.


Cisco wants to make wireless networking as safe and easy for you as possible.
The current generation of Cisco products provide several network security
features, but they require specific action on your part for implementation. So, keep
the following suggestions in mind whenever you are setting up or using your
wireless network. Also see Setting Security Precautions on the Cisco
WVC210, page 70.
Wireless networks are easy to find. Hackers know that in order to join a wireless
network, wireless networking products first listen for beacon messages. These
messages can be easily decrypted and contain much of the networks information,
such as the networks SSID (Service Set Identifier). Here are the steps you can
take to prevent intruders:
Change the administrators password regularlyWith every wireless networking
device you use, keep in mind that network settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) are
stored in its firmware. Your network administrator is the only person who can
change network settings. If a hacker learns the administrators password, he, too,
can change those settings. So, make it harder for a hacker to get that information.
Change the administrators password regularly.
SSIDThere are several things to keep in mind about the SSID:
Do not broadcast it
Make it unique
Change it often
Most wireless networking devices will give you the option of broadcasting the
SSID, meaning that the SSID can be seen by anyone who is scanning for an
available wireless network. While this option may be more convenient for your
users, it is also convenient for hackers. So, dont broadcast the SSID.
Wireless networking products come with a default SSID set from the factory. (The
Cisco default SSID is ciscosb.) Hackers know these defaults and can use them to
find your network, even if you are not broadcasting the SSID. Change your SSID to
something unique and that does not identify your company or the networking
products you use.
Change your SSID regularly so that any hackers who have gained access to your
wireless network will have difficulty finding it again.

MAC AddressesEnable MAC Address filtering. MAC addresses are unique

identification numbers that are assigned to a device at the factory. MAC Address
filtering allows you to provide access only to devices that you specify. This feature
makes it harder for a hacker to access your network with a random MAC Address.
WEP EncryptionWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an older encryption method
that is not considered to be secure and can easily be broken. Select this option
only if you need to allow access to devices that do not support WPA or WPA2.
If you must use WEP, take the following precautions to make a hacker's job more
difficult:
Use the highest level of encryption possible
Use Shared Key authentication
Change your WEP key regularly
WPA/WPA2 PersonalWPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a

security standard stronger than WEP encryption. A network encrypted with WPA/
WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2
uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over the
airwaves, you should enable the highest level.
WPA/WPA EnterpriseEnterprise refers to using RADIUS server for
authentication, while RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service. This type of authentication requires some advanced expertise because it
involves setting up a RADIUS server for authentication and, in some cases,
creation of certificates for both the RADIUS server and the camera.
If you are using WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security, you will need to upload security
certificates to the camera. Certificates must be in the following format:
Root certificate: DER encoded binary x.509 (CER/PEM)
User certificate: Personal Information Exchange (PKCS#12(.PFX))
Implementing encryption may have a negative impact on your networks

performance, but if you are transmitting sensitive data over your network,
encryption should be used.
These security recommendations should help keep your mind at ease while you
are enjoying the most flexible and convenient technology Cisco has to offer.

!
CAUTION Always remember that each device in your wireless network MUST use the same
encryption method and encryption key or your wireless network will not function
properly.
Additional Security Tips

The following tips can help prevent hackers from gaining access into your
wireless network.
Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away from exterior walls
and windows.
Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways off when they are not
being used (at night, during vacations).
Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length.

Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be
found in the dictionary.

information also can set in the Setup Wizard and in the
web-based configuration utility for the camera.
Tips when using the default IP address:
If the camera is connected directly to your computer,

then your computer needs to be on the same subnet as
the default IP address in order to access the
configuration utility.
If you are using a router, you may be on a different

subnet such as 192.168.2.1.

Camera Installation Guidelines

Consider the following guidelines before installing and mounting your cameras.
While the motion detection window and the degree of sensitivity can be optimized
later, it is best to optimize your camera location first.
Choose a location that provides adequate coverage of the area to be

monitored.
If using the microphone in the camera, note that the cameras are designed
to pick up audio from a distance (unlike a web camera that you would place
near you.)
If using motion detection, consider potential sources of false positives, such

as trees and shrubs, drastic light changes, wandering animals, and traffic.
If using an external microphone or speaker, place the microphone far

enough away from the speaker to avoid feedback. The volume of the
speaker and the background noise of the environment will determine the
exact distance, possibly up to one yard (one meter) away.

WPA/WPA2 Enterprise
WPA2 Enterprise requires some advanced expertise because it involves setting
up a RADIUS server for authentication and, in some cases, creation of certificates
for both the RADIUS server and the camera.
If you are using WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security, you will need to upload security
certificates to the camera. Certificates must be in the following format:
Root certificate: DER encoded binary x.509 (CER/PEM)
User certificate: Personal Information Exchange (PKCS#12(.PFX))
In WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, you can choose your protocol type. Select between
EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS.
EAP-TLS
With EAP-TLS you enter the User ID and Password for the RADIUS server and
choose where the camera should check for the Server and User certificate.
User IDThe user ID used to login to your RADIUS server.
Root CAA root certificate is an unsigned public key certificate, or a selfsigned certificate, which implies that you trust your browsers publisher to
include correct root certificates, and in turn the certificate authorities it
trusts, and anyone to whom the CA may have issued a certificate-issuingcertificate, to faithfully authenticate the users of all their certificates.
User CAA user certificate is a signed private key certificate, which

implies that you trust your browsers publisher to include correct user
certificates, and in turn the certificate authorities it trusts, and only user to
39

whom the CA may have issued a certificate-issuing-certificate, to faithfully

authenticate the users of all their certificates.
PasswordThe login to the RADIUS server, and must match the key stored
on the RADIUS server.
EAP-TTLS
With EAP-TTLS you choose the authentication protocol (MS-CHAP V2, MS-CHAP,
PAP, EAP-MD5, and EAP-GTC) to transfer the CA to the RADIUS server. You will
also enter the User ID, Password, and anonymous ID for the RADIUS server and
choose where the camera should check for the server certificate.
Process MethodChoose an authentication method (MS-CHAP, MS-CHAP

v2, PAP, EAP-MD5, and EAP-GTC) as required to handle the processing and
transmission of the CA to your RADIUS server.
User IDThe user ID used to login to your RADIUS server.
PasswordThe login to the RADIUS server.
Anonymous IDThe unsigned public ID used for login to your RADIUS

server.
Root CAA root certificate is an unsigned public key certificate, or a selfsigned certificate, which implies that you trust your browsers publisher to
include correct root certificates, and in turn the certificate authorities it
trusts, and anyone to whom the CA may have issued a certificate-issuingcertificate, to faithfully authenticate the users of all their certificates.

The Setup > Advance Settings window has options for RTSP/RTP and Other.
RTSP/RTP
Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a standard for connected client(s) to
control streaming data (MPEG-4) over the World Wide Web. Real-Time Transport
Protocol (RTP) is an Internet protocol used for transmitting single real-time
multimedia data such as audio and video to a select group of connected clients.
RTSP uses RTP to format packets of multimedia content.
RTSP PortEnter the RTSP Port number (between 1024 to 65535) in the
field provided. The default RTSP port is 554.
RTP Data PortThe cameras data port number has been pre-configured
and can be used for multicasting. It does not normally need to be reconfigured. If a port number does need to be changed, please contact your
network administrator. If a change is necessary, enter the data port number
(1024 to 65494, even numbers only) in the field provided. The default RTP
port is 5000.
Max RTP Data PacketAllows you to define the maximum size of the RTP
data packets. The length can be between 400 to 1400 bytes. The default
value is 1400 bytes.
Enable MulticastThe cameras video and audio IP addresses have been

pre-configured and can be used for multicasting. Normally these settings
do not need to be reconfigured. If an address does need to be changed,
please contact your network administrator and refer to the cameras online
Help.
HTTP
HTTP PortThe default port of 80 is the port your web browser uses to
access your camera. If a different port is entered, HTTP connections (from
your web browser, viewer and recorder utility) can use that port instead of
the standard HTTP port 80 to access the camera. The supported port
numbers are in the range of 1024 to 65534. If you change the port number,
when you open the URL to the camera, you now must specify the port
number, for example: http://192.168.128.23:8002. You must specify the port
for either LAN or WAN connections.

When using motion detection, you may want to be advised by e-mail when
something is detected. Configure your e-mail settings first, and then configure
Motion Detection. See Configuring Motion Detection, page 66.
NOTE The Cisco WVC210 camera does not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocols used by many e-mail providers, such as Gmail. Therefore you will not be
able to use SMTP Mail servers like Gmail that require SSL encryption. You can only
use e-mail providers that do not require SSL encryption. Please contact your e-mail
provider if you are not sure whether your SMTP server uses SSL encryption.
To configure e-mail alerts, follow these steps:
STEP 1
Setup.
STEP 2
Log in as required.
STEP 3
Go to the Applications > Mail window.
STEP 4
Check the box to enable an SMTP Server.
STEP 5
Provide the SMTP server name or the IP address and port number of the SMPT
server. An account name and password are only required if your mail server
requires authentication.
64

NOTE If both the Primary and Secondary SMTP servers are configured, e-mail alerts are
sent out only through the Primary Server. If there is an e-mail failure with the Primary
Server, then the camera attempts to route the e-mail alert through the Secondary
Server.
STEP 6
Enter a subject and fill in the Send To and Show From e-mail addresses.
STEP 7
Click Save to save your settings.
65

NOTE Motion Detection cannot be configured using the Firefox browser. Internet Explorer
must be used to configure motion detection.

To set the motion detection area of the video image to be examined and adjust the
sensitivity of detection, follow these steps:
STEP 1
Setup.
STEP 2
Log in as required.
STEP 3
Go to the Applications > Motion Detection window.
STEP 4
Under Event, check Enable E-mail Alert.
STEP 5
A message window is displayed; click OK.
STEP 6
Click Save to save your settings.
66

STEP 7
Click Set Area & Sensitivity near the bottom of the window. The Set Area and
Sensitivity window is displayed
STEP 8
Customize the desired areas of sensitivity. You can choose the entire window to
monitor by selecting Full Screen. Or, you can select one or more windows (2, 3,
and 4) and isolate smaller and specific sections within the window.
STEP 9
Adjust the sensitivity of each window by using the threshold slider (less threshold
means more sensitivity).
STEP 10 Click Save to save your settings. You are now set to receive motions detection e-
mail alerts.
NOTE Motion detection is triggered only if the camera is facing the preset motion
detection position. If you would like enable motion detection in all positions, select
Enable Motion Detection In All Positions in the Applications > Motion Detection >
Pan/Tilt section.

Port forwarding allows Internet access to multiple cameras that are located inside
a private network. For example, you have two cameras behind a NAT router one
is on alternate port 1024 and the second one is on port 1028. To access each
camera individually, setup two port forwarding rules to access the web interface
of the camera. You can then go to http://x.x.x.x:####/ where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP of
the router and #### is the defined alternate port on the camera.
To set up port forwarding, follow these steps:
STEP 1 From the cameras web-based utility, click Setup > Advance Setup.
STEP 2 Enter a port number in the HTTP Port field. For example, enter 1028. Valid port
settings are 1024-65535.

When you open the URL to the camera, you now must specify the port number. For
example: http://192.168.1.99:1028
STEP 3 Click Save and close the window.
67

STEP 4 Enter the IP address of your router in your web browsers Address field and press
Enter. For this example, we used the default IP address of 192.168.1.1.

STEP 5 From the web-based configuration utility, click Firewall > Port Range Forwarding.
This example shows the Port Range Forwarding window of the Cisco
WRVS4400N router.
STEP 6 In the Port Range Forwarding window, configure the following:
a. Enter the Application name, such as Camera.

b. Enter the Start and End port. In this example, 1028 is used and this should
match the HTTP port configured on the camera in Step 2 on page 67.
c. Ensure that Protocol is set to Both (TCP and UDP).
d. Enter the IP address of the camera, in the IP Address field.
e. Check the Enable box to enable forwarding.
STEP 7 Click Save to save the configuration to the router.
STEP 8 Locate the WAN IP address for your router. Click Setup > Summary to view the
WAN IP address of the router. The WAN IP address is displayed in the Network
Status Setting section.
68

This example shows the Summary window of the Cisco WRVS4400N router.
Now you should be able to access your camera over the Internet by typing in the
WAN IP address of your router, a colon, and the defined port number in the
following format: http://routers WAN IP address:port
For example, http://12.19.89.212:1028
69


The following is a short list of recommended security precautions:
STEP 1
Change the default SSID from the Setup > Basic window, scroll to Wireless
settings.
Change the SSID periodically.
STEP 2
Disable SSID Broadcast on your access point or wireless router.
STEP 3
Change the default user name and password for the administrator account from
the Setup > Users window.
STEP 4
Use the highest encryption algorithm possible.
Use WPA if it is available. From the Setup > Basic window, scroll to Wireless
settings. Please note that this may reduce your network performance.
If using WEP, change the WEP encryption keys periodically. From the Setup
> Basic window, scroll to Wireless settings.
NOTE Some of these security features are available only through the network router or
access point. Refer to the router or access point documentation for more
information.

A
Troubleshooting

This appendix provides solutions to problems that may occur during the
installation and operation of the Cisco WVC210 Wireless-G Internet Camera. Read
the description below to solve your problems. If you can't find an answer here,
check the Cisco Small Business Video Surveillance Cameras homepage at
www.cisco.com/go/surveillance.
NOTE Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) is the official supported browser for the Cisco
WVC210 Internet camera.

Q.
When I try to connect to the Wireless Network Camera, I get prompted

for a user name and password.
You should be prompted for a user name and password when you first
connect to the camera. Enter the Administrator ID and Password set on the
User window. The Username/Password prompt indicates that the
Administrator has restricted access to specified users. Ask the
Administrator for your Username and Password. If this has not been set, it
should still be the default of admin/admin.
Q.
I can't connect to the Wireless Network Camera using a Wireless

connection.
You must perform the initial configuration of the Cisco WVC210 camera
from a personal computer connected to the camera using a wired
connection to the Ethernet port. The initial configuration cannot be
performed over a wireless connection.
Once the initial configuration is complete, disconnect the LAN cable and
unplug the camera. If a LAN cable is connected to the LAN port, the
Wireless interface is disabled. In order to switch from wired to wireless (or
wireless to wired) the camera needs to be rebooted (unplugged and then
plugged in again.)
71
Troubleshooting
Also check that your PC and the Wireless Network Camera have
compatible Wireless settings.
Q.
The mode (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc) must be correct.
The SSID must match.
The wireless security settings must match.
In Ad-hoc mode, the channel should match, although this is often not
required.
My video quality suddenly deteriorated.

This can happen when an additional viewer connects to the Wireless
Network Camera, overloading the camera or the available bandwidth. The
image size and quality can be adjusted to cater for the required number of
viewers and the available bandwidth.
Q.
The motion detection feature doesn't send me any e-mails.

The Cisco WVC210 camera does not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocols used by many e-mail providers, such as Gmail. Therefore you will
not be able to use Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) Mail servers like
Gmail that require SSL encryption. Contact your e-mail provider if you are
not sure whether your SMTP server uses SSL encryption.
You must use a static IP address (you can copy the DHCP Address), but the
DNS server must be that of the ISP and not of the router. You can find this
address in the router's status log for WAN IP Address.
Q.
When using the motion detection feature, I receive e-mails that don't
show any moving objects.
The motion detection feature doesn't actually detect motion. It compares
frames to see if they are different. Major differences between frames are
assumed to be caused by moving objects.
But the motion detector can also be triggered by sudden changes in the
level of available light or movement of the camera itself. For example,
twilight, like dusk and dawn, can cause false positive detections. Motion
detection should not be used if the camera is outdoors because of the
possibility of false positives. The motion detection feature works best in
locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is
mounted securely.
72
Troubleshooting
Q.
The video image is blurry.

Try cleaning the dome, or adjusting the MPEG-4 or MJPEG image quality
setting found in Audio/Video > Video Settings, page 45.
Q.
How do I set up UPnP so my cameras broadcast their availability to my

network?
UPnP networking technology provides automatic IP configuration and
dynamic discovery of devices added to a network. Services and
capabilities offered by networked devices, such as printing and file sharing,
are available among each other without a lot of network configuration.
UPnP Is automatically enabled on the cameras. In a Windows environment,
it may or may not be enabled. On Windows XP, you must log on to the
computer as a system administrator to install the UPnP components. If using
Windows Vista, UPnP Is enabled by default. However, if it is not enabled,
turn off UAC (User Access Control) before following this procedure.
Follow these steps to enable UPnP user interface on your computer:
STEP 1
Go to Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
STEP 2
In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box, click Add/Remove Windows

Components.
NOTE If the default ports are already used by another device connecting to the same
router, the camera will select another port.

STEP 3
In the Windows Components Wizard dialog box, make sure Networking Services
is checked.
STEP 4
Highlight Networking Services, and then click Details.
STEP 5
In the Networking Services dialog box, select Universal Plug and Play and then
click OK.
STEP 6
Click Next in the following window.
STEP 7
Click Finish. UPnP is enabled.
73
Troubleshooting
Windows Help
TIP
Another way to enable UPnP on Windows XP is to go to My Network Places and

on the left tab click on Show icons for networked UPnP devices.
Windows Help
Almost all wireless products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most
used operating system in the world and comes with many features that help make
networking easier. These features can be accessed through Windows Help and
are described in this appendix.
TCP/IP
Before a computer can communicate with an access point or router, TCP/IP must
be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of instructions, or protocol, all PCs follow to
communicate over a network. Your PCs will not be able to use networking without
having TCP/IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete instructions on enabling
TCP/IP.
Shared Resources
If you wish to share printers, folders, or files over your network, Windows Help
provides complete instructions on using shared resources.
Network Neighborhood/My Network Places

Other PCs on your network appear under Network Neighborhood or My Network
Places (depending upon the version of Windows youre running). Windows Help
provides complete instructions on adding PCs to your network.
