The Siqura UP Series camera station, including models UP33 and UP36, is a high-precision, full-featured network PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera designed for demanding surveillance applications. This device provides high-quality, high-definition images, making it suitable for mission-critical scenarios where accurate positioning and stable video are essential, even at large distances. Its robust construction, featuring cast aluminum and durable plastics, ensures longevity and reliable operation across a wide range of environmental conditions. The UPxx series is tested and approved according to the environmental requirements of NEMA TS-2, indicating its suitability for harsh environments.
Function Description:
The primary function of the UP Series camera station is to provide comprehensive video surveillance with PTZ capabilities. It captures high-definition images and offers precise control over pan, tilt, and zoom functions, allowing operators to monitor specific areas of interest with great detail. The camera is designed for network integration, enabling remote access and control. An optional IR Illuminator (UP-IR200) can be integrated to enhance night vision capabilities, extending its operational effectiveness in low-light or complete darkness. The system also supports a washer control feature, allowing for automated cleaning of the camera's window to maintain clear visibility.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Models:
- UP33: Upright PTZ, 33x zoom, 24 Vac
- UP36: Upright PTZ, 36x zoom, 24 Vac
- Optional Accessories:
- UP-IR200: IR illumination kit for UPxx, 200m range, 25° beam angle, 850 nm wavelength.
- UP-WM: Wall mount bracket for UPxx.
- Power Supply: 24 Vac, 3 A, 50/60 Hz for the main unit and 24 Vac, 3 A, 50/60 Hz for the IR Illuminator.
- Ethernet: CAT5e cable, terminated with an RJ45 connector. Maximum distance of 100m. The RJ45 connection is designed to be waterproof (IP66) using a standard accessory.
- Alarm Output: The washer control utilizes ALARM-out wires with normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, and a common (COM) connection.
- Cable Specifications (Recommended for Power Supply):
- AWG22: Max cable length 34m
- AWG20: Max cable length 55m
- AWG18: Max cable length 88m
- Environmental Compliance: NEMA TS-2 approved, indicating suitability for harsh environments.
- Weight Support: The installation surface must support at least four times the weight of the unit in normal operating conditions. Anchor bolts for the wall mount bracket should be able to hold at least 60 kg each (M10x30 recommended).
Usage Features:
- High-Precision PTZ: Enables accurate positioning and stable video for detailed surveillance.
- High-Definition Imaging: Provides clear and sharp images for effective monitoring.
- Network Integration: Allows for remote access and control over the network.
- Optional IR Illumination: The UP-IR200 kit extends visibility in dark conditions with a 200m range. The IR illuminators can be controlled by a light sensor (Day/Night mode) or manually via "Aux-control" by setting DIP Switch 8 to OFF on the telemetry board. The two IR illuminators are factory-set to different channels (Ch1 and Ch2) to prevent interference; their channels can be adjusted via DIP switch 2 on the illuminator itself.
- Washer Control: Integrates with an external washer tank (e.g., Siqura SA-WP10-10m-VSF-24-v2 or SA-WP10-10m CSF-24/-230) to automatically clean the camera lens, ensuring continuous clear vision. The washer control is connected via ALARM-out wires.
- Robust Design: Constructed from cast aluminum and durable plastics, ensuring reliability in extreme temperatures and challenging environments.
- Waterproof Connections: The RJ45 Ethernet connection is designed for IP66 waterproofing, ensuring protection against water ingress.
Maintenance Features:
- Designed for Harsh Environments: Requires little to no maintenance, but regular inspections are recommended.
- Suggested Inspection Interval: 6 months, with more frequent checks in extremely harsh environments.
- Inspection Checklist: During inspections, check the integrity of O-ring seals and the window wiper blade, replacing them if necessary. Also, verify the integrity and tightness of cables, electrical connections, and mounting hardware, replacing or tightening any damaged or loose parts.
- Easy IR Illuminator Installation: The optional IR Illuminator is secured with three bolts and its cables are routed through cable clamps and a cable gland into the housing for connection to the telemetry board.
- Modular Design: Components like the base plate can be replaced with accessories like the wall mount adapter, simplifying installation and maintenance.
- Safety Guidelines: Emphasizes disconnecting power before any operation, using original packaging for transport, ensuring proper grounding, and protecting electrical connections from environmental factors. It also advises against manual force on the wiper to prevent damage and voiding the warranty. Measures to minimize lightning damage are also recommended.
