AXIS 240Q - Unit Connectors 45

The I/O Terminal Connector

This section describes the pinout and interface support provided by the 12-pin I/O terminal connector, which includes:

•4 digital transistor outputs

•4 digital inputs

•an RS-485 interface

•auxiliary power and GND

The terminal connector is used in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording, alarm notification via email, image storage to FTP locations, etc.

•Inputs - e.g. a push button. If the button is pressed, the state changes, and the input will be active (shown under Event Configuration > Port Status).

•Outputs - e.g. an alarm device that can be activated from Output buttons on the Live View page or as an action to an Event Type. The output will show as active (in Event Configuration > Port Status), if the device is activated.

The AXIS 240Q includes one (green) 12-pin terminal block. Connect input/output devices to this block:

1.Loosen the corresponding screw on top of the pin (see the table above to determine which pin to use).

2.Push the cable into the connector and secure it by fastening the screw.

3.Once all devices are connected, connect the terminal block to the video server’s terminal connector.
