Used in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering,
time lapse recording, alarm notifications, etc., the I/O terminal
connector provides the interface to:
•1 transistor output - For connecting external devices such as
relays and LED’s. Connected devices can be activated by Output
buttons on the Live View page or by an Event Type. The output
will show as active (in Event Configuration > Port Status) if the
alarm device is activated.
•1 digital input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can
toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example: PIRs,
door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is
received the state changes and the input becomes active (shown
under Event Configuration > Port Status).
•Auxiliary power and GND

input
(not to
power this
camera)
Electrically connected in parallel with the connector
for the power supply, this pin provides an auxiliary
connector for mains power to the unit.
This pin can also be used to power auxiliary
equipment, with a maximum current of 100mA.
Voltage: 12V DC,
Max: 1.2W
Connect to GND to activate, or leave floating (or
unconnected) to deactivate.
Must not be exposed to
voltages greater than 30V
DC.
Uses an open-collector NPN transistor with the
emitter connected to the GND pin. If used with an
external relay, a diode must be connected in parallel
with the load, for protection against voltage
transients.
Max load = <100mA
Max voltage = 24V DC (to
the transistor)
Be sure to refer to the pin number above the connector before you
connect to external DI/O devices.
Connect input/output devices to the camera as follows:
1. Attach the cables for the device securely to the supplied green
connector block.
2. Once the cables are connected, push the connector block into
the terminal
