Authentication
—Depending on your network security requirements, the
Cisco VC 220 network camera provides two types of security settings for a
HTTP transaction:
basic
and
digest
. If
basic
authentication is selected, the
password is sent in plain text format. Basic is often required for
interoperability with other products; for example, the Cisco Video
Monitoring System. Note that password interception is a potential risk when
using basic authentication.
If
digest
authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using
the MD5 algorithm and this method provides better protection against
unauthorized access.
•
HTTP Port/Secondary HTTP Port
—Assigns the HTTP port for
communication. The default HTTP port is
80
and the default secondary
HTTP port is
8080
. If you’d prefer to assign a different port number, the port
should be within the range of 1024 and 65535.
To access the camera within a LAN, both the HTTP port and secondary
HTTP port can be used to access the camera. For example, if the HTTP port
is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP port is set to 8080, the camera’s IP
address in a LAN could be:
http://192.168.4.160 or
http://192.168.4.160:8080
•
Access Name for Stream 1/Stream 2
—Differentiates the streaming
source by name. The default is
video.mjpg
and
video2mjpg
, respectively.
This is useful if you want to use Mozilla Firefox to access the Cisco VC 220
camera. If the video mode is set to MJPEG, you will receive continuous
JPEG pictures.
This technology, known as server push, allows the camera to feed live
pictures to Mozilla Firefox. Microsoft Internet Explorer does not support
server push technology.
In Mozilla Firefox use one of the following URL formats:
http://<ip_address>/video.mjpg
