About the Authors
Brian Morgan, CCIE No. 4865, is a consulting systems engineer with Cisco specializing in collaboration technologies. In over 20 years in the networking industry, he has
performed in a number of roles, including pre- and post-sales engineering, network consultant, Certified Cisco Systems Instructor, and engineering director for a telecommunications company. When he is not spending time with family and friends, Brian enjoys
working with local high school and college students participating in local Cisco Network
Academy programs, as well as STEM and FIRST Robotics programs in North Texas.
Jason Ball is married to his beautiful bride of 18 years, Siobhan Ball. They have two
children, Isaac and Maureen. Both children have caught his passion for the technology
industry. They are both involved in a robotics program through FIRST Lego League,
with his wife coaching both their teams. Through this program, they learn skills like programming, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and other
skills like gracious professionalism. Outside of this program, his daughter is getting into
software design, and his son is taking courses through North Carolina State University
called Young Engineers, offered for children between 12 and 18 years of age, where he
is furthering his IT skills.
Jason was a slow starter in the IT industry. His beginnings date back to 1989 with an
opportunity to work with audio/video systems. In 1993, his focus changed to public
speaking. He traveled around for many different types of speaking engagements, encountering groups of varying ages. In 2003, he was introduced to multicast media. This unfamiliar and exciting opportunity rekindled a desire for involvement in technology.
In 2009, a new opportunity presented itself. Jason was recently unemployed when a connection with Scott Waschler, an employee at TANDBERG, opened a door to contract
as a technical trainer. In May 2010, Cisco purchased TANDBERG, and a new world of
technology emerged. This is a journey that will never end, and Jason is continually hungry to learn all he can and to share that knowledge with others who are also eager to
learn.
Jason currently works for Compass Business Solutions, a Learning Partner of Cisco.
Compass specializes in teaching Collaboration-related courses, including CIVND 2. He
holds many certifications, most of which are with Cisco. His current certifications with
Cisco include CCNA Route/Switch, CCDA, CCSI, CCNA Video, CCNA Voice, CCNA
Collaboration, CCNP Voice, CCNP Collaboration, CSE, LVCI, BACI, Cisco Video
Network Specialist, and TVS Certified Specialist.

About the Technical Reviewers
Jhun DeLeon is an industry veteran when it comes to voice, video, and data networking,
having deployed numerous complex TelePresence/videoconferencing projects for large
companies with global presence. When Cisco started selling TelePresence solutions, Jhun
shifted his focus to TelePresence, or what is called collaboration. Jhun worked at Cisco
System as a voice engineer working on unified communications. After Cisco, Jhun has
worked with Cisco Partners doing design, architecture, and implementation of unified
communications, TelePresence, videoconferencing, digital signage, and physical video
surveillance.
Marcello Federico is a technical leader in the Cisco Collaboration Technology group,
focused on video technologies and collaboration APIs. He is currently a consulting systems engineer covering the Pacific Northwest Enterprise segment where he works with
his customers on creating their unified communications architecture and strategy. Prior
to Cisco, Marcello held various systems engineering roles focused on the Enterprise,
selling DSP media processing blades, software SDKs, and API stacks. Marcello graduated
from the University of Western Ontario and obtained a degree in computer science with
a specialization in software engineering. He loves to write code and continues to learn
about the latest programming techniques and how to apply them to the Cisco collaboration APIs. He lives in Seattle, WA with his wife, Denise; children, Domenic and Cole;
and his trusty old cattle dog, Chester. In his spare time he enjoys playing soccer and golf
and spending time with his family.

Dedications
Brian Morgan: This book is dedicated to Sunshine and the pursuit of much and more.
Jason Ball: To my wife, Siobhan. I couldn’t do what I do if you didn’t do what you do.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments
Brian Morgan: This book would not have been possible without the support and assistance of my awesome team in SLED West Collaboration, in particular Mike Popovich
and Luc Bouchard. Their willingness to accommodate the erratic schedule (and moodiness) that has accompanied the writing of this book has left me astounded.
A huge thank-you is not nearly sufficient for the efforts, patience, guidance, and professionalism of the editorial team: Brett Bartow and Christopher Cleveland.
Most of all, I want to thank my co-author, Jason Ball. He is, without a doubt, the master
of the diving catch.
Jason Ball: Special thanks must be given to James Lehto, who helped open the door for
me to write this book. My co-author, Brian Morgan, has proven to be a great asset and a
new friend. Thanks must also go out to Brett Bartow and Christopher Cleveland for their
patience and proficiency throughout this process.
My co-worker, Jeff Hubbard, has been an invaluable asset, sounding board, and punching bag for me to abuse while writing this book. If he had to hear me say “I’m writing
this book” one more time, I might have become the punching bag. You have proven to
be a great friend, and for that I am truly grateful.
Finally, I must acknowledge my wife. You have been more supportive than I could have
ever asked. You have carried the slack, encouraged me, and pressed me at exactly the
times that I needed it. The success of this book is as much to your credit as it is to mine.

Command Syntax Conventions
The conventions used to present command syntax in this book are the same conventions
used in the IOS Command Reference. The Command Reference describes these conventions as follows:
■
Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown. In
actual configuration examples and output (not general command syntax), boldface
indicates commands that are manually input by the user (such as a show command).
■
Italic indicates arguments for which you supply actual values.
■
Vertical bars (|) separate alternative, mutually exclusive elements.
■
Square brackets ([ ]) indicate an optional element.
■
Braces ({ }) indicate a required choice.
■
Braces within brackets ([{ }]) indicate a required choice within an optional element.
Introduction
Professional certifications have been an important part of the computing industry for
many years and will continue to become more important. Many reasons exist for these
certifications, but the most popularly cited reason is that of credibility. All other considerations held equal, the certified employee/consultant/job candidate is considered more
valuable than one who is not.
Goals and Methods
The most important, and somewhat obvious, goal of this book is to help you pass the
CCNA Collaboration CIVND exam (210-065). In fact, if the primary objective of this
book were different, the book’s title would be misleading; however, the methods used in
this book to help you pass the CCNA Collaboration CIVND exam are designed to also
make you much more knowledgeable about how to do your job. Although this book
and the accompanying CD together have more than enough questions to help you prepare for the actual exam, the method in which they are used is not to simply make you
memorize as many questions and answers as you possibly can.
One key methodology used in this book is to help you discover the exam topics that
you need to review in more depth, to help you fully understand and remember those
details, and to help you prove to yourself that you have retained your knowledge of
those topics. So, this book does not try to help you pass by memorization, but helps you
truly learn and understand the topics. The CCNA Collaboration CIVND exam is just one
of the foundation topics in the CCNA Collaboration certification, and the knowledge
contained within is vitally important to consider yourself a truly skilled routing/switching engineer or specialist. This book would do you a disservice if it did not attempt to
help you learn the material. To that end, the book will help you pass the CIVND exam
by using the following methods:
Introduction
■
Helping you discover which test topics you have not mastered
■
Providing explanations and information to fill in your knowledge gaps
■
Supplying exercises and scenarios that enhance your ability to recall and deduce the
answers to test questions
■
Providing practice exercises on the topics and the testing process via test questions
on the CD
Who Should Read This Book?
This book is not designed to be a general networking topics book, although it can be
used for that purpose. This book is intended to tremendously increase your chances
of passing the CCNA Collaboration CIVND exam. Although other objectives can be
achieved from using this book, the book is written with one goal in mind: to help you
pass the exam.
So why should you want to pass the CCNA Collaboration CIVND exam? Because it is
one of the milestones toward getting the CCNA Collaboration certification (no small
feat in itself). What would getting the CCNA Collaboration mean to you? A raise, a
promotion, recognition? Would it enhance your resume? Perhaps it would demonstrate
that you are serious about continuing the learning process and that you are not content
to rest on your laurels. Maybe it would please your reseller-employer, who needs more
certified employees for a higher discount from Cisco. Or one of many other reasons.
Strategies for Exam Preparation
The strategy you use for the CCNA Collaboration CIVND exam might be slightly different from strategies used by other readers, mainly based on the skills, knowledge, and
experience you already have obtained. For instance, if you have attended the CICD and
CIVND courses, you might take a different approach than someone who learned collaboration architecture via on-the-job training.
Regardless of the strategy you use or the background you have, the book is designed
to help you get to the point where you can pass the exam with the least amount of time
required. For instance, there is no need for you to practice or read about IP addressing
and subnetting if you fully understand it already. However, many people like to make
sure that they truly know a topic and therefore read over material that they already
know. Several book features will help you gain the confidence that you need to be convinced that you know some material already, and to also help you know what topics you
need to study more.

CCNA Collaboration CIVND 210-065 Official
Certification Guide
The objective of this book is to help you pass the CCNA Collaboration CIVND exam
(210-065). While you are learning about topics that can help you pass the CIVND exam,
you will also become more knowledgeable about how to do your job. Although this
book and the accompanying CD have many exam preparation tasks and example test
questions, the method in which they are used is not to simply make you memorize as
many questions and answers as you possibly can.
The methodology of this book helps you discover the exam topics about which you
need more review, fully understand and remember exam topic details, and prove to
yourself that you have retained your knowledge of those topics. So this book helps you
pass not by memorization, but by helping you truly learn and understand the topics. The
Introduction
CIVND exam is just one of the foundation topics in the CCNA Collaboration certification, and the knowledge contained within is vitally important to consider yourself a truly
skilled Cisco Collaboration engineer or specialist.
The strategy you use to prepare for the CIVND exam might be slightly different from
strategies used by other readers, mainly based on the skills, knowledge, and experience
you already have obtained. For instance, if you have attended the CIVND course, you
might take a different approach than someone who learned switching through on-thejob training. Regardless of the strategy you use or the background you have, this book
is designed to help you get to the point where you can pass the exam with the least
amount of time required.
Book Features and Exam Preparation Methods
This book uses several key methodologies to help you discover the exam topics on which
you need more review, to help you fully understand and remember those details, and to
help you prove to yourself that you have retained your knowledge of those topics.
The book includes many features that provide different ways to study so that you are
ready for the exam. If you understand a topic when you read it but do not study it any
further, you will probably not be ready to pass the exam with confidence. The features
included in this book give you tools that help you determine what you know, review
what you know, better learn what you do not know, and be well prepared for the exam.
These tools include the following:
■
“Do I Know This Already?” quizzes: Each chapter begins with a quiz that helps you
determine the amount of time you need to spend studying that chapter.
■
Foundation topics: These are the core sections of each chapter. They explain the
protocols, concepts, and configuration for the topics in that chapter.
■
Exam preparation tasks: The “Exam Preparation Tasks” section lists a series of
study activities that should be done after reading the “Foundation Topics” section.
Each chapter includes the activities that make the most sense for studying the topics
in that chapter. The activities include the following:
■
Key topics review: The Key Topic icon is shown next to the most important
items in the “Foundation Topics” section of the chapter. The Key Topics Review
activity lists the key topics from the chapter and page number. Although the
contents of the entire chapter could be on the exam, you should definitely
know the information listed in each key topic. Review these topics carefully.
■
Memory tables: To help you exercise your memory and memorize some lists of
facts, many of the more important lists and tables from the chapter are included
in a document on the CD. This document lists only partial information, allowing
you to complete the table or list. CD-only Appendix C holds the incomplete
tables, and Appendix D includes the completed tables from which you can
check your work.

■
Definition of key terms: Although Cisco exams might be unlikely to ask a
question such as “Define this term,” the CIVND exam requires that you learn
and know a lot of networking terminology. This section lists some of the most
important terms from the chapter, asking you to write a short definition and
compare your answer to the Glossary at the end of the book.
CD-based practice exam: The companion CD contains an exam engine, including a
bank of multiple-choice questions. You can use the practice exams to get a feel for
the actual exam content and to gauge your knowledge of switching topics.
How This Book Is Organized
Although this book could be read cover to cover, it is designed to be flexible and allow
you to easily move between chapters and sections of chapters to cover just the material that you need more work with. Chapters 1 through 17 are the core chapters and can

CHAPTER 3
Cisco Video Surveillance
The Cisco CIVND 2 course is designed to cover Cisco video solutions. Most people
assume that means video communications exclusively. However, Cisco has many products in other venues of video, like IP video surveillance and digital signage. To some
degree, all three of these venues overlap. However, each can stand independently from
the others as well.
This chapter offers a high-level overview of the solution Cisco offers in IP surveillance.
The first section reviews legacy closed-circuit TV (CCTV) video-surveillance architecture
and how it has evolved into what is available today. The subsequent sections cover Cisco’s
physical security offering, the components involved with their solution, and the architectural design of how all the different elements work together.
“Do I Know This Already?” Quiz
The “Do I Know This Already?” quiz allows you to assess whether you should read this
entire chapter thoroughly or jump to the “Exam Preparation Tasks” section. If you are in

Legacy CCTV Video-Surveillance Architecture Evolution
In a famous scene in the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones triggers a chain reaction of booby traps that threaten his and his companions’ lives. Although
this is obvious Hollywood lore, the idea of booby traps being used to protect valuables is
no new concept. They can be considered as a primitive form of surveillance that has evolved
into something quite elaborate.
Video surveillance is not a new concept either. The earliest report about video cameras
being used for monitoring was in 1965. These early monitoring solutions used closed-circuit
television (CCTV) monitoring systems. The idea of CCTV is that a camera, drawing power
from a wall outlet, also has a coaxial cable that connected it to a TV monitor. This allows
for the image being captured by the camera to be displayed on the TV. If control of the
camera is desired, like pan tilt zoom (PTZ), a third cable is used, called a serial cable.
Video surveillance really hit its stride when recording using tape cassettes was introduced.
Magnetic tape recording devices were used as early as the 1950s, but such devices were very
expensive. Judicial systems like police departments and courtrooms used this early form of
monitoring, as did banks, gas stations, and other public high-risk facilities. By the 1970s,
two predominant tape cassette formats took the lead in the market: Video Home System
(VHS) and Betamax. Ultimately, VHS excelled in the consumer market, and Betamax went
away. In retrospect, there are issues with using tape recording devices like VHS cassettes.
First, the quality was so limiting that it was often hard to make out facial recognition when
someone was caught on tape. Second, the recording time on a VHS cassette was limited to
about 2 to 4 hours. This can be extended up to double the time length using Long Play (LP),
or triple the time length using Extended Play (EP), also know as Super Long Play (SLP). By
using LP or EP/SLP, the already poor quality is reduced.
Another great advancement in video surveillance was the introduction of multiplexers.
Multiplexers allow for recording several cameras at a single time. In many cases, more than
a dozen cameras were used at a single time. Some of the technologies around multiplexing
would allow snapshot recording and motion detection recording of cameras, where they
would only start recording when motion was detected. Though multiplexers brought many
advantages to video monitoring, there were still many disadvantages that would need to be
overcome. With a single camera, the monitor view of the camera encompassed the whole
screen. With multiplexers, each camera view frame was compressed so that all camera feeds
could be viewed simultaneously on the monitor. This affected the video quality even more
because these smaller images could not be selected to enlarge for more detail. Figure 3-1
illustrates how a multiplexer can be used in video surveillance.

It is said that invention comes from 10 percent sweat and 90 percent necessity. All the
advancements leading up to this point in the evolution of video surveillance were great,
revolutionary achievements for analog video monitoring. The next phase in this evolutionary process brought analog video into the digital world. One of the necessary advancements
addressed the limit of tape recording devices, as well as the quality of the recorded video
feed. Digital video recorders (DVRs) were introduced into video surveillance circa late
1990s. In addition to a significant increase in recorded video quality and duration of recording, there were many other advantages of using DVRs. One such advantage allowed for
viewers to go back and view prerecorded video without disrupting the recording process.
Another advantage is that you can select a smaller frame and enlarge it to a full-screen view.
Figure 3-2 illustrates how you can use a DVR in a video-surveillance solution.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, broadband and high-speed Internet were introduced.
With technology taking off, and the Internet driving the information age, several more
great advancements were made in the video-surveillance world. IP access to DVRs allowed
viewers to access multiple locations from a central remote location. However, because analog camera had to have a physical connection to the DVR (whether directly connected or
through a multiplexer), there was still a physical security issue because the DVR had to be
on premises with the cameras. Encoders were introduced to video surveillance, allowing
the analog signal to be converted to digital format before it was sent to the DVR. Encoders
could send the digital format of the signal over an IP network to the DVR; therefore, DVRs
no longer had to be stored on premises.
The introduction of IP cameras brought much advancement in the technology of video
surveillance. The IP camera converted the analog video being recorded to digital format
natively on the camera. This eliminated the need for encoders and traditional analog cameras. In addition, IP cameras could support Power over Ethernet (PoE), and the PTZ control
of a camera could be sent over Ethernet as well. This allowed for a single cable to be run
to each camera instead of the three (power, coaxial, and control) cables needed for a traditional analog camera. A modern video-surveillance solution allows for a combination of IP
cameras and analog cameras with encoders to be used. Companies can still leverage their
older analog cameras longer without doing an expensive tear-and-replace when upgrading
their surveillance solution. As needed, those analog cameras can be upgraded to IP cameras.
Cisco Physical Security Solution
Although Cisco had already been involved in the video-surveillance market, they made a
key acquisition in May 2007 of BroadWare Technologies. This acquisition brought many
new and highly developed tools to Cisco’s solution. With these new products available,
Cisco developed a strategy based on a differentiated physical security product suit that
builds on Cisco’s Medianet integration. The two main components of Cisco’s videosurveillance solution are hardware and software products. Hardware products include Cisco
Video IP Surveillance Cameras, encoders, and physical security management and storage
servers. Software products are used for monitoring video surveillance and controlling different aspects of the monitoring tools. You will learn more about these products later in this
chapter. Other solution elements include the Cisco Physical Access Manager and the Cisco
IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (Cisco IPICS).
The Cisco Physical Access Manager appliance is a physical intrusion-detection solution
using Cisco Physical Access Gateway devices to connect conventional wired sensors,
along with other physical security elements through a converged IP network. The Cisco
Physical Access Manager appliance is a hardware and software solution that provides
advanced configuration and management of the Cisco Physical Access Control system.
The Cisco Physical Access Manager desktop client is used to define access control rules,
enroll users, manage badges, and configure the Cisco Physical Access Gateway modules,
among other tasks.
The Cisco IPICS is a complete IP-based dispatch and incidence-response solution with several capabilities. This solution provides an enhanced dispatch console; UHF and VHF radio
interoperability; emergency first-responder notification; and integration with IP phones, cell
phones, PCs, and mobile devices.
Chapter 3: Cisco Video Surveillance 43
A Cisco end-to-end solution can be broken down into three categories:
■
Threat detection can be categorized by the physical security elements in a surveillance
solution, such as cameras, motion sensors, and access control.
■
Threat monitoring is based on real-time and recorded threat-monitoring services. Such
services may include door sensors and badges, fingerprint scanners or other biometric
sensors, video-surveillance monitoring software, and other media management and storage components.
■
The third category of the Cisco end-to-end solution is threat response. This service
includes the IPICS allowing integration with existing communication devices, whether
that be a Voice over IP (VoIP), public switched telephone network (PSTN), or video collaboration solution.
Components of a Cisco Digital Media Suite (DMS) could be incorporated, as well, such
as PCs, Digital Media Player (DMPs), Cisco LCD Displays, and the Cisco Digital Media
Manager (DMM). All three of these services work together to offer a complete and highly
effective Cisco video-surveillance solution.
Cisco Video-Surveillance Components
The remainder of this chapter covers Cisco cameras and analytics, Cisco video-surveillance
management software, and the Cisco media management and storage components. The
Cisco video-surveillance solution can be divided into four service domains:
■
Input and output devices
■
Management
■
Storage
■
Interactive view
Input and output devices are Cisco IP cameras, analog cameras, encoders, microphones,
motion sensors, and PTZ control. This chapter does not go into microphones and motion
sensors in a Cisco video-surveillance solution. Management elements include features like
central management of previously mentioned devices, operations like PTZ and camera
switching, media control, distribution, and layout changes. Management can also determine
where recorded media is to be stored. Storage involves compressing media when needed
and using scalable storage solutions, whether that be locally attached storage or a networkattached storage (NAS) or storage-area network (SAN). Interactive view elements monitor
endpoints such as operator view stations. It also contains distribution elements notifications
and media store distribution.
Input and Output Devices
The Cisco IP cameras include standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD) capabilities.
They communicate using IP and standards-based interfaces and protocols such as MPEG
and H.264. Cisco IP surveillance cameras also include embedded security and networking,
motion detection, and video analytics. As mentioned before, Cisco Medianet offers the
features PoE, automated provisioning, bandwidth optimization, storage optimization, and
enhanced network security. There are four series of cameras to choose from in the Cisco
3
44 CCNA Collaboration CIVND 210-065 Official Cert Guide
solution. Each has different capabilities to cater to the various needs of the customers.
Some come in a box model, and some come in the dome model. The 6000 series comes in
both box and dome models. Figure 3-3 shows box and dome cameras.
Figure 3-3 Box and Dome Cameras
The Cisco Video Surveillance 7000 series IP cameras support a 5-megapixel lens. It is an
outdoor fixed HD camera in vandal-resistant housing. This series offers excellent image
quality with resolutions up to 2560x1920 and PTZ support. The Cisco Video Surveillance
6000 series IP cameras support a 2.1-megapixel lens and offers HD video capability in bullet, box, and dome models. These cameras can be used indoors or outdoor and support up
to 1080p30 resolutions. The Cisco Video Surveillance 4500E series IP cameras offer true
HD video at 1080p, with H.264 compression. These dome IP digital cameras are designed
for superior performance in a wide variety of video-surveillance applications. The Cisco
Video Surveillance 3000 series IP cameras are full-functioning HD cameras with H.264 support. These dome cameras can support resolutions up to 1280x800 at 30 frames per second.
The Cisco Video Surveillance PTZ series IP cameras are available in SD or HD resolutions.
Cisco PTZ IP cameras can be remotely controlled to monitor a wider area than traditional
fixed cameras. Table 3-2 compares each of the camera series mentioned.

Another output device is the Cisco Video Surveillance Encoder. These devices use digital
signal processors (DSPs) to convert analog signal from legacy analog cameras to digital
format. Encoders are an optional component of the Cisco Physical Security Multiservices
Platform, and the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server Software must be installed on the
server to use them. There are two cards available offering either 16 BNC connection panel
or an 8 BNC connection panel on a single card. The resolution of these capture cards is D1,
with motion JPEG (M-JPEG) and H.264 support. D1 resolution is 704x480, and is the highest SD resolution available in common analog-based CCTV deployments. Additional support on these encoder cards includes RS-232 for remote PTZ control of cameras.
Note that although only Cisco IP surveillance cameras are mentioned in this chapter, thirdparty systems are supported by the Cisco DMS solution. This includes third-party IP surveillance cameras and legacy analog cameras through encoders. Also, Cisco IP surveillance
cameras are supported by third-party management software, as well.
Management
The Cisco Video Surveillance Manager Software (VSMS) is the management and control
plane for the Cisco video-surveillance solution components. Cisco VSMS is a software suite
that includes the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager, Cisco Video Surveillance
Media Server, and Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix. These software components of
the VSM are the three management software solutions that are discussed in this section.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server software is the core component of the networkcentric Cisco video-surveillance solution. This software is responsible for the recording, storing, and streaming of video feeds. The Cisco Video Surveillance Storage System
complements the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server software. Video can be stored in
direct-attached storage (DAS), NAS, and SAN storage systems. The way it works is that each
IP camera or encoder sends a single video stream to the Cisco Video Surveillance Media
Server. This software is responsible for simultaneously distributing live and archived video
streams to viewers over an IP network. In case of multiple view requests, the software replicates the unique input video streams to multiple output streams, based on request. For
archive viewing, the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server continuously receives video
from the IP camera or encoder, as configured per the archive settings. The software sends
video streams to the viewer only when requested. In environments with remote branch
locations, this process becomes efficient because traffic needs to traverse the network only
when requested by remote viewers. Video requests and streams are delivered to the viewer
by using HTTP traffic (TCP port 80) or over HTTPS (TCP port 443).
The Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager is the core engine for the Cisco surveillance solution. It offers centralized administration of all the Cisco video-surveillance solution components and supports Cisco video-surveillance endpoints. For security purposes,
it uses authentication and access management for video feeds. Application programming
interfaces (APIs) can be used for third-party integration, and third-party camera and encoder
support is provided. Tools available in the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager
include a web-based portal that can be used to configure, manage, display, and control
video from any Cisco surveillance camera or encoder. Many third-party endpoints are supported as well. Tools are available to manage multiple Cisco Video Surveillance Media
3
46 CCNA Collaboration CIVND 210-065 Official Cert Guide
Server instances and Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix instances and users. There
are also tools that control different recording options such as motion-based, schedulebased, and event-based recording. For low-bandwidth link connections, the Cisco Video
Surveillance Operations Manager can perform rapid investigations using an integrated forensic search tool.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix is a remotely controlled video-display application used to monitor video feeds in a command center or any monitoring environment.
It enables users to control video being displayed on multiple local or remote monitors. It
supports many layouts, and so operators can choose a predefined layout of cameras and
push it out to the displays of all users or choose to send different users various layouts with
different camera feeds. The Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix can also be integrated
with other monitoring system components to automatically display video in response to
user-defined event triggers. Such triggers could be from fire-monitoring systems, door sensors, and motion detectors, to name a few. Table 3-3 illustrates the three video-surveillance
software components and the functions they perform.

Storage
Many storage components can be used. Those that have already been mention include DAS,
NAS, and SAN storage. The Cisco Video Surveillance Multiservices Platform has also been
mentioned, and is discussed further in this section. In addition, the Cisco Integrated Services
Router (ISR)-based Cisco video-surveillance elements warrant discussion.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Multiservices Platform is an easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy
server suite. It offers scalable storage in a 1-RU up to a 4-RU server platform, storing up to
24 TB. As mentioned before, it supports video encoding with the optional encoder cards.
There are four products in the Cisco Video Surveillance Multiservices Platform available.
The virtualized applications for Unified Computing System (UCS) offer the same high security as other offering, along with other benefits of operating in a virtualized environment.
The physical footprint of an organization is reduced, and the installation process is simplified, by eliminating the need for extra cabling, complexity, and power consumption. The
Cisco Connected Safety and Security (CSS) UCS Platform series come in two models: the
Cisco CSS UCS C220 (1-RU) and the Cisco CSS UCS C240 (2-RU). The CSS UCS Platform
Chapter 3: Cisco Video Surveillance 47
series comes with a variety of choices for physical security applications. Among those are
video surveillance, physical access control (1-RU only), and incident response. The next generations of Cisco Video Surveillance Multiservices Platform offerings are the Cisco Physical
Security Storage System 4-RU (CPS-SS: 4-RU) and the Cisco Physical Security Storage
System 4-RU-EX (CPS-SS: 4-RU-EX). This series is ideal for performing backup to disk and
bulk data storage.
Cisco video-surveillance cards are also available for the Cisco Integrated Services Router
Generation 2 (ISR-G2). These module cards make management of analog cameras in
remote offices more efficient, while supporting an IP video-surveillance network. When
the ISR-G2 routers are used with the Cisco video-surveillance cards, 1 TB of DAS storage
is made available.
The Cisco Analog Video Gateway Module provides support for analog cameras, PTZ, alarm
input, and control relay output. This module can support up to 16 analog cameras in a single
card. The Cisco Analog Video Gateway Module is controlled by Cisco Video Surveillance
Stream Manager. Cisco Analog Video Gateway Module encoders and decoders use the
MPEG4 video compression codec, allowing for streams to be sent over the network using
D1 resolutions up to 30 fps. The encoder that connects to the analog camera simultaneously
records two MPEG4 streams at different resolutions. This enables viewers to observe highquality streams, while a lower-quality recording will use less storage space.
The Cisco Video Management and Storage System Module implements the Cisco Video
Surveillance Media Server and the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager for the
branch office. The Cisco Video Management and Storage System Module supports IP video
cameras connected to the ISR through the IP network, in addition to any analog cameras
connected through the Cisco Analog Video Gateway Module and most third-party cameras.
Notifications can be sent from the router using e-mail messages, pages, and SMS.
Table 3-4 illustrates the two storage options discussed in this section, with their storage
capacities and the type of storage available natively to the systems.

The Cisco video-surveillance solution is based on service domains. The domains that have
already been discussed include the VSM software suite and video-surveillance storage systems. The Cisco video-surveillance solution can integrate with other Cisco connected physical security elements such as media and threat distribution, the Cisco DMS, and Cisco’s
Collaboration endpoints. Other architectural domains include video input and edge analytics, sensors, PTZ camera control, and interactive output. This section takes all the elements
3
48 CCNA Collaboration CIVND 210-065 Official Cert Guide
that have been discussed and explains the flow of media, the communication signaling
paths, and interactive views that can be used in a Cisco video-surveillance solution. The two
scenarios that are discussed are the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager Viewer
and the Cisco Video Surveillance Matrix Viewer.
When an operator is interacting with the Cisco video-surveillance software, the Cisco Video
Surveillance Operations Manager software is being used through Microsoft ActiveX web
browser. This traffic can use TCP port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS). The following steps outline the process Cisco’s video-surveillance software follows to change camera views:
1.
Using this software, the operator can select which cameras need to be viewed on
which displays and in what camera positions.
2.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager then sends a signal to the Cisco
Video Surveillance Media Server requesting the video feed from the selected cameras.
3.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server requests video feed form the appropriate
cameras.
4.
The camera sends the video feed to the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server.
5.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server using TCP, UDP, or multicast sends these
views to the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager.
6.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager updates the view on the appropriate view portal stations based on the parameters selected by the operations manager.
The protocol used is based on what was requested by the Cisco Video Surveillance
Operations Manager.
Note The number of video feeds that can be shown depends on the CPU, RAM,
and so on of the computer. If all the feeds are displayed, some might show as
thumbnails only or might even make the PC unresponsive.
If another Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager Viewer requests the video from
the same IP camera, the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server simply replicates the video
stream as requested. No additional requests are made to the camera. Figure 3-4 illustrates
the Operations Manager Viewer scenario.

Figure 3-4 Operations Manager Viewer Flow Scenario
The process for switching layout views using a Cisco video-surveillance solution is similar to
the previous scenario. Again, when an operator is interacting with the Cisco video-surveillance software, the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager is being used. The following steps outline the process Cisco’s video-surveillance software takes to change layouts and
update camera views:
1.
Using this software, the operator can select which layout is desired and which cameras
need to be viewed within the different panes on that particular layout. That communication is sent to the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager through the web
portal.
2.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Operations Manager then sends a signal to the Cisco
Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix requesting a particular layout.
3.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix determines what layout and what cameras are to be used. Then the Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix sends a signal to
the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server to request video feed form the appropriate cameras.
4.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server requests video feed form the appropriate
cameras.
5.
The camera sends the video feed to the Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server.
6.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server sends these views to the Cisco Video
Surveillance Virtual Matrix.
7.
The Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix sends the communication to the operations view portal monitors directly.
50 CCNA Collaboration CIVND 210-065 Official Cert Guide
The Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual Matrix sends a keepalive message to the operations
view portal monitors periodically to confirm that the displays are still active. Figure 3-5

Summary
Because of greater needs, the desire for better quality, and key advancements in technology, video surveillance has evolved from its rudimentary form over several decades. From
these advancements, Cisco offers a robust and secure video-surveillance solution for customers based on modern-day needs. The Cisco video-surveillance solution offers a wide
assortment of IP video cameras and encoders that enable you to leverage analog camera
that may already be in use. You can manage these components securely and effectively by
using Cisco’s VSM software suite, which includes the Cisco Video Surveillance Operations
Manager, Cisco Video Surveillance Media Server, and Cisco Video Surveillance Virtual
Matrix. This software platform offers integration with other components within an organization like emergency response and other secure devices incorporated into the business
environment. All of this is supported on a Cisco Video Surveillance Multiservices Platform.
This server basis has scalable built-in storage and can integrate with NAS and SAN storage as
well. The Cisco ISR allows for remote management of remote office facilities, completing
the Cisco video-surveillance solution. Memory table are provided for review of key information discussed during this chapter. Review these memory tables to ensure a solid understanding of these topics.
