1 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 camera movement and focus, 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.

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 camera
movement and focus, 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
