RoHS statement
Global concerns over the health and environmental risks associated with the use of certain environmentally-sensitive materials in electronic products have led the European Union (EU) to enact the Directive on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) (2002/95/EC). Siqura offers products that comply with the EU’s RoHS Directive. The full version of the
Siqura RoHS statement can be viewed at www.siqura.com.
Product disposal
The unit contains valuable materials which qualify for recycling. In the interest of protecting the natural environment, properly recycling the unit at the end of its service life is imperative.
When processing the printed circuit board, dismantling the lithium battery calls for special attention. This kind of battery, a button cell type, contains so little lithium, that it will never be classified as reactive hazardous waste. It is safe for normal disposal, as required for batteries by your local authority.
2.2
Cautions
Handle the camera carefully
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid bumping and shaking. The camera can be damaged by improper handling or storage.
Do not disassemble the camera
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Consult technical support if a camera is suspected of malfunctioning.
Do not block the cooling vent
This camera has a cooling fan inside. Blocking the cooling holes may lead to overheating and cause malfunction. Overheating is not covered by warranty.
Never face the camera towards the sun
Do not aim the camera at bright objects. Whether the camera is in use or not, never aim it at the sun or other extremely bright objects, as this can damage the camera.
Do not expose indoor models to moisture
The indoor camera model is designed for indoor use or use in locations where it is protected from rain and moisture. Turn the power off immediately if the camera is wet and ask a qualified technician for servicing. Moisture can damage the camera and also create the danger of electric shock.

Advanced settings
Web Server port
The HTTP port can be any port other than the default port, 80. If the port is changed, the user must be notified of the change for connections to be successful.
For example, if the administrator changes the HTTP port of a camera with an IP address of
192.168.0.100 from 80 to 8080, the user must type in the address http://
192.168.0.100:8080 instead of http://192.168.0.100.
RTSP port
The RTSP port can be any port other than the default port, 554. If the port is changed, the user must be notified of the change for connections to be successful. The port number may range from 1024 to 65535.
For example, if the administrator changes the RTSP port of a camera with an IP address of
192.168.0.100 from 554 to 8080, the user must type in the address rtsp://
192.168.0.100:8080 instead of rtsp://192.168.0.100.
MJPEG over HTTP port
The HTTP port that streams MJPEG can be any port other than the default port, 8008. If the port is changed, the user must be notified of the change for connections to be successful. The port number may range from 1024 to 65535.
For example, if the administrator changes the MJPEG over HTTP port of a camera with an IP address of 192.168.0.100 from 8008 to 8080, the user must type in the address http://
192.168.0.100:8080 instead of http://192.168.0.100.
HTTPS port
The HTTPS port can be any port other than the default port, 443. If the port is changed, the user must be notified of the change for connections to be successful. The port number may range from 1024 to 65535.
For example, if the administrator changes the HTTPS port of a camera with an IP address of
192.168.0.100 from 443 to 650, the user must type in the address https://
192.168.0.100:650 instead of https://192.168.0.100.
Note: To avoid network conflicts, make sure that you use a unique port number for each of the ports above.

QoS
System > Network > QoS
DiffServ and QoS
Differentiated Services (DiffServ, or DS) is a method for adding Quality of Service (QoS) to IP networks. In routed networks, critical network traffic such as video and audio streams, which require a relatively uninterrupted flow of data, can get blocked due to other traffic. DiffServ can be used to classify network traffic and give precedence - that is, low-latency, guaranteed service, to high-priority traffic, while offering best-effort service to non-critical traffic such as file transfers or Web traffic.
Each stream has a DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) field in the IP header. Routers will identify the network service type in the DSCP field and provide the appropriate level of service. Low-latency service can be realised, for example, through priority queuing, bandwidth allocation, or by assigning dedicated routes.
DSCP settings
The DSCP value range is from 0 to 63. The default DSCP value is 0, which means DSCP is disabled. The IP camera uses the following QoS Classes: Video, Audio, and Management.
Video DSCP
The class consists of applications such as MJPEG over HTTP, RTP/RTSP, and RTSP/HTTP.
Audio DSCP
This setting is available for IP cameras that support audio.
Management DSCP
The class consists of HTTP traffic: Web browsing.

Normal open indicates that the connectors are normally open and a connection will trigger a digital output signal. See the relevant installation manual for more information.
Alarm trigger actions
System > Events > Application > Triggered action
The actions detailed in this section can be set to be triggered when an alarm occurs. Make sure that the SMTP, FTP, and/or HTTP configuration is complete before you configure the triggered actions for an alarm. For more information, see Mail, FTP, and/or HTTP.
Enable alarm output
The HSD820 provides two alarm outputs. They can be enabled by selecting the Enable alarm
output 1 and Enable alarm output 2 check boxes.
Note: The output state is determined by any combination of the alarm inputs (digital input and motion detection). The alarm inputs can be individually enabled to drive the output, provided the alarms themselves are already enabled. The enabled alarms are combined by a logical OR to activate the output. The output type is therefore the same for all enabled alarms. An API command (from a VMS, for example) can override the current output state to inactive until the next enabled alarm is triggered, or it can also set the output state to active.
Send message by FTP
A message is sent to the FTP site, as configured on the FTP page, when an alarm is triggered.
For information on how to configure messages to be sent to an FTP site, see FTP.
Upload image by FTP
When an alarm is triggered, a specified number of pre- and post-trigger buffer frames are sent to the configured FTP server. The Pre-trigger buffer function allows users to check what happened to cause the trigger.
45
System settings
Note: Normally, the range of the Pre-trigger buffer is 1-20 frames. This range will change accordingly if the MJPEG frame rate on the Video frame rate page is 6 or slower.
With the Post-trigger function, users can set a certain amount of images to be uploaded after the triggering of the alarm input.
Important: Uploading images by FTP or e-mail is only possible if MJPEG output is configured. If only H.264 streaming is enabled, no images will be sent.
Continue image upload
If selected you can choose to upload the triggered images for a certain time or to keep uploading until the trigger is off.
● Upload for n sec
The number of frames per second (fps) selected in the Image Frequence list is sent to the
FTP Server for the number of seconds specified in the Upload for n sec box. The range is 1 to 9999 seconds.
● Upload during trigger active
The number of frames per second (fps) selected in the Image Frequence list is sent to the
FTP Server until the trigger is no longer active. The range is 1 to 15 frames.
PTZ function
Assign a camera function - Preset, Sequence, Autopan, or Cruise - and specify a Preset Point/
Sequence Line/Autopan Path/Cruise Line for the camera to perform at an alarm occurrence.
For a description of these functions, see PTZ&IMAGE.
If the selected function is Preset, the dwell time must be specified in the Dwell time box.
When the alarm is triggered, the camera will go to the selected Preset Point and stay there for the user-defined period of time. As for other function modes, the camera will keep executing the specified function. To stop this action, simply change the camera status.
Note: The dwell time can only be adjusted when Preset is selected as the alarm action.
When the dwell time has expired, the camera will go back to its trigger position and recheck the alarm pin status.
Record video clip
Using the options on the Record to list, you can have an alarm-triggered recording saved to your microSD card or NAS. The Pre-trigger buffer function allows you to check what occurrence caused the trigger. The Pre-trigger buffer time range is from 1 to 3 seconds.
You can choose from the following actions:
● Upload for n sec
The image stream is recorded for the number of seconds (setting range from 1 to 99999 seconds) specified in the Upload for n sec text box with a pre-trigger buffer of the number of seconds specified in the Pre-trigger buffer text box.
● Upload during trigger active
The image stream is recorded with a pre-trigger buffer of the number of seconds specified in the Pre-trigger buffer text box until the trigger is no longer active.
Note: Make sure that local recording (with the microSD card) or remote recording (with
NAS) is activated (on the Recording page) so that this function can be implemented.
Send message by E-mail
A message is sent by email, as configured on the Mail page, when an alarm is triggered. For more information on configuring messages to be sent via SMTP, see Mail.
46
System settings
6.8.1.2
Upload Image by E-mail
When an alarm is triggered, a specified number of pre- and post-trigger buffer frames are sent to the configured email address.
The Pre-trigger buffer function allows users to check what happened to cause the trigger.
Note: Normally, the range of the Pre-trigger buffer is 1-20 frames. This range will change
With the Post-trigger function, users can set a certain amount of images to be uploaded after the triggering of the alarm input.
Important: Make sure that the SMTP configuration has been completed. For details, see
Continue image upload
If selected you can choose to upload the triggered images for a certain time or to keep uploading until the trigger is off.
● Upload for n sec
Emails are sent for the number of seconds specified in the Upload for n sec box. The range is 1 to 9999 seconds. Each email contains the number of frames per second (fps) selected from the Image Frequence list.
● Upload during trigger active
Emails are sent until the trigger is no longer active. Each email contains the number of frames per second (fps) selected from the Image Frequence list. The range is 1 to 15 frames.
Send HTTP notification

Protocol Description
RTP over UDP Real-Time Transport Protocol, using UDP transport, lessens network delay and is required for two-way audio streams.
RTP over RTSP (TCP) Real-Time Transport Protocol, using TCP transport, guarantees that data is delivered and that no packets are dropped, but some network delay may occur.
RTSP over HTTP
MJPEG over HTTP
Multicast mode
A standard solution to help RTSP work through firewalls and Web proxies, so that viewers behind a firewall can access RTSP streams.
Consecutive JPEG images are sent individually over HTTP.
Multicast streaming reduces bandwidth usage for streams being transmitted to multiple clients.

Camera - Misc 1
PTZ > Cam - Misc1
On the Camera - Miscellaneous Setups Menu 1 (Misc1) page, users can set various camera parameters including Backlight Compensation, Sharpness, Exposure Compensation, Image
Flip, Digital Zoom, Speed by Zoom, and Day/Night.
BLC
Backlight Compensation (BLC) enhances the visibility of objects in the foreground of an image when there is a bright light in the background.
Sharpness
The sharpness value describes the clarity of detail perceived in an image. A higher sharpness value implies a clearer image. A lower sharpness value implies a more obscure image. The sharpness value is adjustable from 1 to 15.
ExpComp
Exposure Compensation (ExpComp) allows the user to adjust the exposure to compensate for unusual or problematic lighting conditions that could result in less-than-optimal images. The function can also be used to create intentional underexposure or overexposure. ExpComp values range from 1 to 15.
Flip
Users can track an object continuously as it passes under the dome camera by setting Flip to
Mechanical (M.E.) mode.
Note: Flip setting is controlled manually only. If a Preset Position or a point for an other function such as Sequence, is set to a position that can only be reached through FLIP motion, that position cannot be reached anymore when the Flip function is turned off.
M.E. mode is a standard mechanical operation. As the dome camera tilts to the maximum angle, it will pan 180°, and then continue tilting to keep tracking objects.
89
PTZ&IMAGE
8.11
Note: To make the dome camera tilt between a specific range, such as -10° to +100° or
-10° ~ +190°, go to the Tilt Range page to set the tilt angle range. Otherwise, the dome camera will tilt 90° as the default setting.
Digital zoom
With digital zoom set to On, it is possible to zoom in further on the video when the lens is fully zoomed in using optical zoom.
Speed by zoom
When enabled, the pan/tilt speed is adjusted by an internal algorithm when zooming automatically. The larger the zoom ratio, the lower the rotation speed.
Day/Night function
When the Day/Night function is set to Night, the camera removes the IR-cut filter and switches to monochrome for clearer images in low-light conditions. When set to Day, the filter is returned and the image is in colour. In Auto mode, the camera detects the lighting conditions and switches the filter accordingly.
Camera - Misc 2
PTZ > Camera - Misc2
On the Camera - Miscellaneous Setups Menu 2 (Misc2) page, users can set various camera parameters.
WDR
To enhance video display, the wide dynamic range (WDR) function solves high contrast or changing light issues by taking the best of two pictures with different exposure settings. WDR is especially effective in solving indoor and outdoor contrast issues. The user can enable or disable the WDR function, according to the application.
Inverse
With the Inverse function, the video in the camera preview can be rotated 180°.

PTZ&IMAGE
Autocalibration
There is one horizontal and one vertical infrared ray check point in each dome. When the dome camera's position is moved during installation or maintenance, the relative distance between the original set point and the check point may change. When enabled, the autocalibration function automatically detects this change and resets the point back to the original position.
2DNR
With the 2D Noise Reduction function, the processor analyses pixel by pixel and frame by frame to eliminate environmental noise signal so that a high quality image can be produced even in low light conditions.
3DNR
In addition to 2D Noise Reduction, the HSD820H3 also includes 3DNR which generates enhanced noise reduction.
Stabilizer
The HSD820H3 has a built-in image stabiliser to prevent vibrations from disrupting a camera view or footage, such as those caused by wind in pole-mount installations. Enable this function to provide stable pictures even at the highest zoom ratio.
