Unit connectors

Network connector - RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Using shielded cables is recommended.

Power connector - DC connector 12V DC ±5%, max 14.5W. See product label for ± connection.

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

Audio out - Audio output (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an active speaker with a built-in amplifier. A pair of headphones can also be attached. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.

I/O terminal connector - Used in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. It provides the interface to:

1 transistor output - For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by AXIS VAPIX API, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Event Type. The output will show as active (shown under Event Configuration > Port Status) if the alarm device is activated.

ENGLISH

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).
