Hardware Overview

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 in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to an auxiliary power and a GND pin, the I/O terminal 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).

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.

RS485/RS422 Connector

Two terminal blocks for RS485/RS422 serial interface used to control auxiliary equipment such as PTZ devices.
