This manual is intended for installers and users of the S620 E. What you should already know To be able to install and use the S620 E properly, you should have adequate knowledge and skills in the following fields. ●...
Page 9: Safety And Compliance
Failure to comply with any precaution, warning, or instruction noted in the manual is in violation of the standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the module. Siqura assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with any of these safety requirements.
Page 10 Optical safety The following optical safety information applies to S620 E 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.
Page 11: Compliance
Safety and compliance To ensure EMC compliance of the equipment, use shielded cables for all signal cables including Ethernet, such as CAT5E SF/UTP or better, as defined in ISO IEC 11801. For power cables, unshielded three wire cable (2p + PE) is acceptable Ensure that all electrically connected components are carefully earthed and protected against surges (high voltage transients caused by switching or lightning).
Page 12: Product Overview
S620 E /SA Stand-alone version of rack-mount models Rack-mount S620 E units are designed to be slotted into MC 10 or MC 11 power supply cabinets. Front panel LEDs indicate network status, stream status (sync), and DC power. All models have backup battery power for their clocks.
Page 13: Description
Quad streaming The S620 E is capable of streaming 2x H.264 at full frame rate. It can also stream 2x MPEG-4 or MJPEG simultaneously. Each stream is optimised for its purpose: high-quality H.264 for live viewing, low-bandwidth MPEG-4 for storage, or easy-to-decode MJPEG for web applications and remote devices.
Page 14: Front Panel
Product overview FTP push Upon an event, the S620 E can push a JPG image to one or two FTP servers. The event can be triggered externally by VMD, the Image Monitor, or Tamper Detect. The S620 E can also periodically upload images to the remote server(s).

Startup After startup, the DC LED will light and the network indicator lights go through an on/off sequence.
Page 18: Update Device Definitions
Ethernet connector socket pinning Update device definitions If the S620 E is not supported by the TKH Security application software on your host PC you can download EMX updates and MX Plug-in updates at www.tkhsecurity.com/support-files. Install the EMX update first if you are performing both update types.
Page 19: Connect The Unit
The webpages of the S620 E provide a convenient way of accessing its settings. You can log on to the web interface of the S620 E from a PC which is on the same subnet as the unit. Follow the steps below to open communication with the S620 E and configure its network settings.
Page 20 In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties dialog box, click Use the following IP address. Enter an IP address which assigns your PC to the same subnet as the S620 E - that is, within the 10.x.x.x range. Use 255.0.0.0 as a subnet mask.
Page 21: Establish Video And Other Signal Connections
Interfaces chapter. An alternative, convenient method to establish video, audio, data, and contact closure (I/O contacts) connections is to use the webpages of the S620 E.

Page 58: Sap Settings
SAP announcer The S620 E includes a SAP announcer. The Session Announcement Protocol is used to advertise that a media stream generated by the S620 E is available at a specific multicast address and port. The S620 E can send SAP multicast streams for its H.264, MPEG-4, and audio encoders. The video streams include audio if audio is enabled on the Audio webpage and if the multicast IP range is the same as for video.

Page 121: Cc Streams
CC Streams page CC channels The contact closure channels of the S620 E, each capable of transmitting three copies per signal, are independent and their transmitters and receivers can also be used separately. It is possible to send a CC-signal from a CC 1 interface to a CC 2 and vice versa.
Page 122: Input # Settings
If a contact closure signal is to be transmitted to a PC, the software requesting it can open a contact closure stream from the S620 E, which will carry the CC information. At the opposite end of the link (a PC running the software), the contact closures may be regarded as, and even named alarms, but those ‘alarms’...

Page 130: Edge Recording
Connection monitor enabled. Edge recorder is recording video (the specified IP address is unpingable). Edge recording makes it possible to record and store video locally - that is, at the S620 E. To prevent loss of video when the connection to a central network video recorder or VMS sytem is lost, recorded video clips can be stored on the SD card inside the S620 E.
Page 131: Monitoring
NVR or VMS, for example. To detect these events, the S620 E monitors the network connection to the device specified by its IP address. This is done by pinging it at regular intervals to test its reachability over the network.
Page 132: Sd Card
When the SD card is full, recording stops and a message is sent to the syslog (for a description of the syslog function, see Device Management). Warning: Powering down or rebooting the S620 E, or insertion into an operational unit erases all content on the SD card! Clips will be irretrievably lost.
Page 133: Event Management
Associate events with output facilities Event Management page On the Event Management page, you can configure how the S620 E is to handle incoming events/alarms. The event sources listed under Available inputs can be routed to a CC output, CC stream, or FTP push.

Page 139: Snmp System Information
22.3.4 SNMP Traps A S620 E alarm status change generates a trap which can be caught by any SNMP manager. The S620 E can, for example, send traps on the occurrence of Image Quality and Camera Tampering events. Variables, which can be read from the S620 E's MIB through an SNMP manager, indicate why the alarm occurred.
Page 140: Mx/Ip
Item Description Enable MX In addition to the proprietary MX/IP protocol, a S620 E can be accessed, configured and managed using a variety of open standards. Therefore, you can disable the MX protocol. Be aware that doing so will prevent you from upgrading the S620 E firmware through the MX Firmware Upgrade Tool application.
Page 141: Auto Discovery
On the Auto Discovery tab, you can enable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). If enabled, UPnP allows the S620 E to advertise its presence and services to control points on the network. A control point can be a network device with embedded UPnP, a VMS application or a spy software tool, such as Device Spy.

Device management 22.6 ONVIF Device Management > ONVIF The S620 E supports the ONVIF standard. On the ONVIF tab, you can enable ONVIF compatibility and ONVIF discovery. Item Description Enable ONVIF Enables the ONVIF interface on the S620 E. Enable ONVIF Makes the S620 E discoverable for ONVIF clients.
Page 143: Firmware
The upgrade image area is usually empty upon factory release. If the existing firmware in the S620 E is to be replaced, a new version can be written to the upgrade image area. There, the new image resides in erasable (flash) memory.
Page 144: Upgrade
Select the firmware file (.sqrfw extension), and then click Open. Note: Files with an .nkffw extension cannot be used to upgrade the S620 E via the webpage. You can use them to upgrade the unit through MX Firmware Upgrade Wizard.

Date and Time Notes for advanced users ● Far off (more than a few minutes) or jumping time server values may be rejected by the unit. ● You should never test the tracking to the time server by changing the time in the NTP server.
Page 154: Multicasting
UDP streams used. Multicast group A multicast group is used by the source, that is - the S620 E, and the receivers to send and receive multicast messages. To define a multicast group, the source unit should be assigned a valid multicasting ('destination') TX stream address and the destination units should get this same address as source.
Page 155: Multi-Unicast
25.2 Multi-unicast As an alternative to multicasting, the S620 E features 'multi-unicasting', that is - sending out up to 4x3 independent copies of video, and 3 of audio, data and contact closure streams. If the bit rates selected are moderate, it may be more convenient to use this mechanism instead of multicasting, even though the network gets more signal to carry from the encoder.
