IP Cameras On company Network
Hi, I'm pretty new to cisco networking and was wondering if anyone knows the proper way to setup a port on a cisco 2960s for an IP camera. We have 130 cameras that were recently installed and they are setup to record on movement and now every morning and evening when people are coming in and out of the building the network slows down dramatically. Are there certain settings that are supposed to be entered into the ports where the cameras are? I've even noticed a lot of ttraffic on our core switches. These are the settings currently on the ports:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/10
description CAMERAS
switchport access vlan 72
switchport mode access
srr-queue bandwidth share 1 30 35 5
priority-queue out
mls qos trust cos
auto qos trust
storm-control broadcast level 4.00
spanning-tree guard root
Thanks for your help!

why not create a separate vlan for cameras and isolate the camera traffic. just an idea

thanks for the replies.
My boss was trying to avoid buying switches and building a separate network because of the cost. I originally suggested that. The cameras are on their own vlan. it just seems like the amount of data flowing through is too high. I was wondering if there are port settings specific for ip cameras to handle the flow a little better i.e. some kind of traffic shaping or something like allowing only udp traffic on those specific ports if thats even possible.

i don't think so without upgrading to may be a fiber switch. what kind of camera feed is it. does it record images or just DVR straight to the recorder

The cameras record on movement to a server then security views them from a few workstations on campus

There are 130 most are 3mp and around 30 are 5mp. My other problem is that it's a pretty big building. I was thinking about going to cheaper switches but I need some type of switch in the server room that can handle 12 gbics for the fiber from the switches in the closets where the cameras are terminated and all switches have to be Poe.
Thanks
