3.3 Description
General
The Siqura xx810 is a full-featured fixed IP camera providing high-quality high-definition
images.
Product overview
10

Multistream high definition
A xx810 series camera has dual-stream capability for simultaneous streaming of H.264/H.264
or H.264/MJPEG. It can provide full HD 1080p streaming with a D1 second stream or dual
720p streams. Multiple combinations of resolution and frame rate can be configured to satisfy
different live viewing and recording scenarios.
Open standards
Multiple options are available to easily integrate the xx810 to 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
The BL810F1IR and FD810V1IR 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 applying dynamic gain.
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.
