BC820v2-SFP HD IP box camera with H.264, Day/Night and SFP
interface
Note: Lens sold separately
In addition to the features above:
● SFP Interface
3.2 Description
The BC820v2 is a full-featured fixed IP camera providing high-quality high-definition images.
Multistream high definition
BC820v2 cameras have quad-stream capability (triple-stream in WDR 2 shutter mode) for
simultaneous streaming of combinations of H.264 streams with one MJPEG stream. The
MJPEG stream can be allocated to any configured resolution format (limited to 1080p).
Multiple combinations of resolution and frame rate can be configured to satisfy different live
viewing and recording scenarios. Full frame rate, full-HD 1080p streaming with a D1 second
stream or dual 720p streaming is possible.
Open standards
Multiple options are available to easily integrate the BC820v2 to a video management system.
In support of open standards, these cameras are compliant with the ONVIF Profile S
specification and the Programming Interface (HTTP API). The BC820v2 seamlessly integrates
with any Pan/Tilt station by offering free configurable commands issued to the PT station
through the serial data interface.
Day/Night
The BC820v2 provides automatic day/night functionality with configurable thresholds, for use
in low-light situations. Under poor lighting conditions, the camera automatically becomes
infrared-sensitive by removing the IR-cut filter. This 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
The BC820v2 provides two modes for wide dynamic range. The first mode uses different gain
ratios for differently illumined areas to bring details in the darker areas of an image without
saturation in the brighter parts. The second mode uses a two-shutter mechanism which
applies two different exposure settings to capture both darker and lighter areas with excellent
details. The resulting image is the optimal aggregation of both exposures.
Product overview
11

Privacy masks
With privacy masks you can cover parts of the image. By concealing areas with sensitive or
personal information you can prevent these from appearing on a monitor or in recorded video.
Power source choices
The BC820v2 can be powered by 12 Vdc, 24 Vdc, 24 Vac, or over the network with 802.3af-
compliant PoE sources.

5.8 microSD Card
BC820v2 cameras support a microSD card (up to 64 GB) for storing event-triggered and
scheduled recordings. For the location of the microSD card slot, see section Back panel.
On the Storage Management page of the web interface, administrators can view capacity
information of the microSD/SDHC card and a recording list with all the recording files that are
saved on the memory card. Administrators can also format the SD card and implement
automatic recording cleanup. For more information, see the User Manual.
Note: Format the microSD/SDHC card when using it for the first time. Formatting is also
required when a memory card already used on one camera is transferred to another camera
with a different software platform.
Important: TKH Security advises to use high-grade, highly-durable SD cards. Note that SD
cards are limited to the number of write cycles ranging from 1000 (off-the-shelf high-grade
card MLC or TLC NAND) to 100.000 (4 GB industrial SLC NAND). Intensive usage will
eventually wear out the card. The number of write cycles times the capacity of the SD card
gives you the total amount of data that can be written to the card in its life time. A 32 GB
microSDHC with 2000 write cycles, for example, can write 64 TB before it should be
replaced.
