2 Safety and compliance
This chapter presents the CD/(I)FD820 safety instructions and compliance information.
In This Chapter
Cautions ........................................................................... 9
Compliance ....................................................................... 10
2.1 Cautions
Make sure that camera installation is performed by a specialist
Only qualified service personnel or system installers should install and connect this product.
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 exceed the ratings given in the Technical Specifications
Verify that the power source is appropriate before you plug in and operate the unit. Use the
camera under conditions where the temperature remains within the range given in the Technical
Specifications of this product.
Do not expose indoor models to moisture
The indoor dome camera 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.
CD820 & (I)FD820 Series
Page 10
Prevent exposure to optical radiation (units with SFP interface)
Warning: Optical equipment presents potential hazards to testing and servicing personnel, owing
to high levels of optical radiation.
When using magnifying optical instruments, avoid looking directly into the output of an
operating transmitter or into the end of a fiber connected to an operating transmitter, or there
will be a risk of permanent eye damage. Precautions should be taken to prevent exposure to
optical radiation when the unit is removed from its enclosure or when the fiber is disconnected
from the unit. The optical radiation is invisible to the eye.
Use of controls or adjustments or procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not use strong or abrasive detergents to clean the camera
Use a dry cloth to clean the camera when it is dirty. If the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild
detergent and wipe gently. To clean the lens, use lens tissue or a cotton tipped applicator and
ethanol. Do not clean the lens with strong detergents.
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.
2.2 Compliance

3.3 Description
General
The Siqura CD/(I)FD820 is a network fixed dome camera providing high-quality high-definition
images.
Multistream high definition
CD/(I)FD820 cameras support quad-stream compression (H.264 Baseline / Main / High Profile +
MJPEG) for efficient bandwidth and storage management. Multiple combinations of resolution
and frame rate can be configured to satisfy different live viewing and recording scenarios. Full
HD 1080p H.264 streaming with a D1 second stream or dual 720p streams is possible.
Open standards
Multiple options are available to easily integrate the CD/(I)FD820 into a video management
system. In support of open standards, these cameras are compliant with the ONVIF Profile S
specification in addition to Siqura's Open Streaming Architecture’s (OSA) HTTP API.
Day/Night
(I)FD820 series cameras provide automatic day/night functionality, for use in low light
situations. Under poor lighting conditions, the camera automatically becomes infrared-sensitive
by removing the IR cut filter. This Day/Night feature ensures that even in minimal light the
camera still produces clear images.
Backlight compensation
Backlight compensation enhances image visibility in difficult lighting conditions. In situations
where the observed object is unclear due to being underlit or overlit (such as in a hallway
entrance with many windows), backlight compensation improves image exposure by using the
light near the object as a reference.
Wide dynamic range
Wide dynamic range solves the problem of overlit images by combining the best of two pictures
with different light references.
Power source choices
The CD/(I)FD820 can be powered over the network with 802.3af compliant Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) sources (with the exception of the SFP model). IFD820 and FD820 units can also be
powered by 12 Vdc or 24 Vac (terminal block).
Privacy masks
Privacy masks cover sections of the image. This feature is often requested for situations such as
city centre surveillance and point of sale keypads.
