TC620-PID
Page 12
Optical safety
The following optical safety information applies to TC620-PID 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.
Non-video signal lines must use appropriate shielded Cat 5 cabling (S-FTP), or at least an
equivalent. Ensure that all electrically connected components are carefully earthed and
protected against surges (high voltage transients caused by switching or lightning).
ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Proper precautions
should be taken against ESD when opening the equipment.
Care and maintenance
The unit will normally need no maintenance. To keep it operating reliably:
Prevent dust from collecting on the unit.
Do not expose the equipment to moisture.

Safety and compliance
Page 13
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 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.
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.

3Product overview
This chapter introduces the TC620-PID and its features.
In This Chapter
Features ........................................................................... 15
Description........................................................................ 15
3.1 Features
TC620-PID
Integrated thermal IP camera
Built-in Perimeter Intrusion Detection
i-LIDS® certified for primary sensor in
sterile zone
ONVIF Profile S conformant
Video resolution: 336x256
Robust aluminium housing
3.2 Description
The Siqura TC620-PID is in itself a complete solution for perimeter intrusion detection. It is built
around a thermal LWIR sensor and on-board analytics for accurate detection of unwanted
intrusions. By using thermal vision, detection is possible in all weather, no-light, and difficult
lighting conditions. The TC620-PID comes as an outdoor camera (IP66).
Intrusion detection
The embedded ObjectR-Advanced PID analytics is i–LIDS® certified and approved to be used as
primary sensor in a sterile zone. Through the web interface, configuration of the
ObjectR-Advanced PID analytics is straightforward with either two detection lines or two
detection zones. To get the most out of the PID analytics Siqura offers the VCA Configuration
Server. By using a thermal sensor the influence of external factors is limited to a minimum.
Decision making and situational awareness
Do you often feel that you have lost control? This occurs when –in a mission-critical environment
where split-second decision making is crucial –you expect something to happen but it does not.
Your expectations are based on all the data that is presented to you and its history. To make the
right decision you need to be aware of the environment around you and have access to
information relevant only for that specific situation –not the enormous amount of useless data
you get when watching 24 CCTV monitors simultaneously, for example. The TC620-PID extracts
useful information from the scene and presents it in the video image itself to a video
management system, such as VDG Sense.

TC620-PID
Page 16
VDG Sense
The Siqura TC620-PID works seamlessly with the VDG Sense video management system. It
supports forensic search by storing the PID object data next to the video. The PID events are
triggers to the powerful VDG Sense macro engine, which enables you to define how the system
should react during certain events. You can set macros to have VDG Sense automatically pop up
a camera to inform the operator of an intrusion alert.
VCA Configuration Server (VCS)
ObjectR-Advanced PID detection analytics physically runs in the Siqura edge devices. This
detection engine, however, is much more powerful when configured by the Siqura VCA
Configuration Server. The configuration server adds more detection templates, such as eight
zones or lines. The VCS is capable of storing up to 64 channels of video and object data. Forensic
searches are done using the stored object data which speeds up the search up to 10,000 times
faster than real-time. This feature is also used to find the best configuration for a camera using
the real footage. This configuration is uploaded in the TC620-PID, with the best performance and
reliability for the perimeter intrusion detection.
Thermal imaging
It is possible to use standard CCTV cameras for video analytics but it requires experience and
knowledge of the analytics to position them. All sorts of distractions, such as the headlights of a
car, can cause false alerts. In certain situations, image clarity is compromised when using visible
light cameras, which may result in degraded automatic intruder detection.
Lighting conditions do not pose any problems for the TC620-PID thermal camera. It does not
‘see’ shadows and light beams. It picks up the heat (deep infrared) radiated by the objects
themselves.
Field-hardened
The ruggedised and vandal-resistant die-cast aluminium housing has an IP66 ingress rating to
ensure optimal protection in harsh environments.
Open Streaming Architecture (OSA) and ONVIF
The TC620-PID is designed with OSA offering standardised streaming video and remote control
based on international standards and tested with different vendors. A comprehensive HTTP API
gives access to all controls and makes integration easy. The TC620-PID also fully supports
ONVIF and is listed as ONVIF Profile S conformant.
Web interface
Configuration, management, and live viewing are simplified by the access-controlled web
interface. Full in-band control is available through Siqura Device Manager, Siqura’s MX™
Configuration Tool Kit, and the HTTP API. The TC620-PID is field-upgradeable.

FTP push
Upon an event, the TC620-PID can push a JPG image to one or two FTP servers. The event can
be triggered externally by Perimeter Intrusion Detection, VMD, or Tamper Detect. The
TC620-PID can also periodically upload images to the remote server(s).

4.1 ONVIF
The Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) is an open industry forum for the
development of a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products. ONVIF
is committed to the adoption of IP in the security market. The ONVIF specification ensures
interoperability between products regardless of manufacturer. It defines a common protocol for
the exchange of information between network video devices including automatic device
discovery, video streaming and intelligence metadata. The TC620-PID fully supports ONVIF. It
has been tested to support ONVIF Profile S.
4.2 OSA
Siqura's Open Streaming Architecture (OSA) consists of a standard set of open communication
protocols to govern media streaming via RTSP and equipment management via HTTP. OSA
enables easy integration of the TC620-PID with third-party products. The protocol consists
mainly of different CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program calls for listing and configuring
parameters. A detailed description of the HTTP API is given in the Siqura Programming Interface
specification which can be downloaded at www.siqura.com.
4.3 Web UI
Using the TC620-PID's web server is the most straightforward way to access the unit. The
webpages enable you to configure the settings of the TC620-PID and view live video images from
a standard web browser.

4.4 MX/IP
MX/IP is a proprietary Siqura protocol which gives direct access to the settings of the TC620-PID.
Using special MX software, such as MX Configuration Tool, TC620-PID settings can be read from
and written to the Management Information Base (MIB), a list of variables stored inside the unit.
Offering full control of the TC620-PID, the MIB enables you to remotely configure device settings
and manage media streams. Additional MX viewing and control software offers real-time
monitoring of video streams and playback of recorded images. For more information about
MX/IP, the MIB, and Siqura's EMX network service, refer to the manuals which document the MX
SDK and the MX applications.
Note: If you prefer using open standards, you can disable the MX/IP protocol. This is done on the
MX tab of the Device Management page. Be aware that doing so prevents you from upgrading
the TC620-PID firmware through MX Firmware Upgrade Tool.
4.5 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), part of the internet protocol suite, can be
used to monitor network devices such as the TC620-PID for conditions or events that require
administrative attention. For more information, refer to appropriate literature on SNMP.
The TC620-PID supports in-band SNMP. Via SNMP, several status variables can be read and
traps can be generated on events. You can configure TC620-PID SNMP settings on the SNMP tab
of the Device Management page.
The SNMP Agent is MIB-2 compliant and supports versions 1 and 2c of the SNMP protocol.
Note: The TC620-PID includes SNMP support for its tamper detect function. A trap is sent when
camera tampering is detected.
Required MIB files can be downloaded at www.siqura.com.
4.6 SAP
The TC620-PID supports the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), a protocol used for
broadcasting multicast session information. A SAP listening application can listen to the
announcements advertised by the TC620-PID SAP announcer. The application can use this
information to receive a video or audio stream that the TC620-PID is transmitting to the
advertised multicast address. For more information, see the description of the Video and Audio
pages.
4.7 NTCIP
The National Transportation Communications for ITS Protocol (NTCIP) is a communication
protocol deployed in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the USA. It is a family of
standards designed to provide definitions of common data elements and communication
protocols for the interaction between traffic management centre(s) and road-side devices such
as cameras, traffic signals, and highway lighting. The goal of the standards is to achieve
interoperability and interchangeability between systems manufactured by different vendors in
order to reduce the total cost of traffic systems, including maintenance.
The TC620-PID supports all the mandatory parts and some of the optional parts of the NTCIP
CCTV specification as laid down in the NTCIP 1205:2001 v01.08 document. For details about the
NTCIP configuration of the TC620-PID, see Appendix: NTCIP Configuration.
