2.3 Compliance.......................................................................................................... 10
2.1 Safety
The safety information contained in this section, and on other pages of this manual, must be
observed whenever this unit is operated, serviced, or repaired. Failure to comply with any
precaution, warning, or instruction noted in the manual is in violation of the standards of
design, manufacture, and intended use of the module. Siqura assumes no liability for the
customer's failure to comply with any of these safety requirements.
Trained personnel
Installation, adjustment, maintenance, and repair of this equipment are to be performed by
trained personnel aware of the hazards involved. For correct and safe use of the equipment
and in order to keep the equipment in a safe condition, it is essential that both operating and
servicing personnel follow standard safety procedures in addition to the safety precautions
and warnings specified in this manual, and that this unit be installed in locations accessible to
trained service personnel only.
Safety requirements
The equipment described in this manual has been designed and tested according to the
UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 safety requirements. See the CE Declaration of Conformity for
compliance information.

operation.
This might be the case when the equipment shows physical damage or is stressed beyond
tolerable limits (for example, during storage and transportation).
Important: Before opening the equipment, disconnect it from all power sources.
The equipment must be powered by a SELV1 power supply. This is equivalent to a Limited
Power source (LPS, see UL/IEC/EN 60950-1 clause 2.5) or a "NEC Class 2" power supply.
When this module is operated in extremely elevated temperature conditions, it is possible for
internal and external metal surfaces to become extremely hot.
1. SELV: conforming to IEC 60950-1, <60 Vdc output, output voltage galvanically isolated
from mains. All power supplies or power supply cabinets available from Siqura comply with
these SELV requirements.
7
Safety and compliance
Power source and temperature ratings
Verify that the power source is appropriate before you plug in and operate the unit. Use the
unit under conditions where the temperature remains within the range given in the Technical
Specifications of this product.
Optical safety
The following optical safety information applies to HSD820 models with SFP interface.
This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to
Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007. This optical equipment contains Class 1M lasers or
LEDs and has been designed and tested to meet IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2 and IEC
60825-2:2004 safety class 1M requirements.
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.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that the label depicted below (background: yellow;
border and text: black) is present in the restricted locations where this equipment is installed.
EMC
This device has been tested and found to meet the CE regulations relating to EMC and
complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference to radio communications in
any installation. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy;
improper use or special circumstances may cause interference to other equipment or a
performance decrease due to interference radiated by other equipment. In such cases, the
user will have to take appropriate measures to reduce such interactions between this and
other equipment.
Any interruption of the shielding inside or outside the equipment could make the equipment
more prone to fail EMC requirements.

Safety and compliance
RoHS statement
Product disposal
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.
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.
9
Safety and compliance
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.

6.2.2 HTTPS
System > Security > HTTPS
HTTPS, SSL, and TLS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) allows secure connections between the IP camera
and the web browser using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS),
which protect camera settings and user name / password information from eavesdropping.
To implement and use HTTPS on the camera, an HTTPS certificate must be installed. This can
be obtained by creating and sending a certificate request to a Certificate Authority (CA).
Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can create and install a self-signed certificate
first.
