In This Chapter
Cautions ........................................................................... 5
Regulations ....................................................................... 6
2.1 Cautions
Handle the camera carefully.
Do not abuse the camera. Avoid striking, shaking, etc. as the camera can be damaged by
improper handling or storage.
Install electrical wiring carefully.
Ask a qualified electrician to perform the wiring for the installation. Please note that input
electricity to the unit is at a tolerance of 24VAC 50/60 Hz ± 20%. Ground the camera
appropriately to prevent electric shock or damage.
Cable harness
Power input: 3-pin terminal block
Do not disassemble the camera.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or covers. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Please consult technical support if a camera is suspected of malfunctioning.
Do not block the cooling vent on indoor cameras.
This camera has a cooling fan inside. Blocking the cooling holes may lead to overheating and
cause malfunction. Overheating is not covered by warranty.
Do not operate the camera beyond the specified temperature,
humidity, and power source ratings.
The indoor dome camera is specified for temperatures between 0°C ~ 40°C (32°F ~ 104°F) and
humidity below 90%. The outdoor dome camera is specified for temperatures between -45°C ~
50°C (-49°F ~ 122°F), and relative humidity below 90%.

Do not expose the indoor dome camera to moisture or operate it
in wet areas.
The indoor dome camera is designed for indoor use or use in locations where it is protected from
rain and moisture. If the indoor camera gets wet, turn the power off immediately and ask a
qualified technician for servicing. Moisture can damage the indoor camera and also create the
danger of electric shock.
Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning 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.

3.2 Product Overview
Functions
The Siqura HD1xA camera delivers up to 420x zoom ratio (HD16A WDR) to capture clear images
in the distance. Continuous auto focus, backlight compensation, auto exposure and digital slow
shutter functions are provided for clear and high quality images. The removable IR cut filter
ensures 24-hour operation, while Privacy Masks are specially designed to avoid intrusive
monitoring of specified regions. All of the salient functions can be incorporated to meet your
needs. The Home function allows users to specify a preset position as the 'home position' or
home functions (Sequence/Auto-Pan/Cruise). Under this mode, dome cameras return to the
preset home position or functions when the camera has been idle for a user-defined period of
time. Additionally, the unique Schedule function enables users to program a preset point or
function (Sequence/Auto-Pan/Cruise) so that these actions can be automatically performed at
specified times. The camera possesses the additional functions of image inverse, and OSD
operation in up to 12 languages.
PTZ
The dome provides variable pan/tilt speeds ranging from a fast patrol of 400° per second to a
slow ramble of 0.5° per second with +/- 0.1° pan accuracy for fast and accurate tracking. 360°
endless rotation and -10°~190° tilt travel allow for the tracking of objects passing directly
underneath the dome. Up to 256 preset points can be programmed for precise location of target
areas; users can also define eight sequence routes, four auto-pan routes, and one cruise route
for the camera to operate automatically.
Simplicity
The Siqura HD1xA series cameras require only a single cable for ease of installation, and can be
integrated with CCTV products such as DVRs, control keyboards, and CCTV accessories for a
total surveillance solution.
Reliability
Dependability and high reliability are key factors in the mini dome's design cycle. Siqura HD1xA
cameras are assembled with meticulous care and thorough testing at our ISO 9001-compliant
factory.
