Cold Startup Delay Switch

AXIS Q1604-E Network Camera

Hardware Overview

15.Bracket screws (4x)

16.Bracket adapter

17.Network cable (route through wall bracket). Cable not included

18.Wall bracket

19.Bracket adjustment screw

The Cold Startup Delay switch, when turned on, controls how the camera restarts after a power cut, when temperatures are below 0 °C (32 °F). The camera is first heated to approximately 0 °C (32 °F) before it initializes. This prevents damage to camera parts sensitive to sub-zero temperatures.

Connectors and Buttons

For technical specifications, see page 60.

Network Connector

RJ45 Ethernet connector. Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).

NOTICE

The product shall be connected using a shielded network cable (STP). All cables connecting the product to the network switch shall be shielded (STP) and intended for their specific use. Make sure that the network switch is properly grounded. For information about regulatory requirements, see Regulatory Information, on page 2 .

I/O Connector

Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to the 0 V DC reference point and power (DC output), the I/O connector provides the interface to:

•Digital output – For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The output will show as active (shown under System Options > Ports & Devices) if the alarm device is activated.

•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 System Options > Ports & Devices).

Note

The I/O connector is connected to the housing (fan/heater) on delivery. In the case of a fan or heater error, an input signal will be triggered in the camera. Set up an action rule in the camera to configure which action the signal shall trigger. For information about events and action rules, see Events, on page 37.

Power Connector

2-pin terminal block for power input. Use a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) compliant limited power source (LPS) with either a rated output power limited to ≤100 W or a rated output current limited to ≤5 A.

Audio Connector

The Axis product has the following audio connectors:

•Audio in (pink) – 3.5 mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal (left channel is used from a stereo signal).

•Audio out (green) – 3.5 mm output for audio (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an active speaker with a built-in amplifier. A stereo connector must be used for audio out.
