I/O terminal connector - Used 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 AXIS Q7401 has 4 pins that can be configured as either input or out put. These pins provide the interface to:

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.

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.).

Equipped with a two-way audio feature, the Q7401 enables real-time communication between the camera and the control center, enhancing situational awareness and response capabilities. This feature is increasingly valuable in security applications, allowing operators to interact proactively with on-site personnel or potential intruders.

The Q7401 also includes advanced features such as video motion detection, which allows the user to set up alerts based on detected motion within predefined areas. This capability reduces the need for constant monitoring, automatically notifying users of potential security breaches or events of interest.

In terms of connectivity, the Axis Q7401 is designed to integrate seamlessly with Axis' network video products. Its compatibility with various Axis applications enhances its functionality, allowing for advanced analytics and intelligent features that can further enhance security measures.

The robust design of the Q7401 ensures reliability in various environments. Its compact form factor allows for easy installation in space-constrained locations, and it operates efficiently in temperature variations, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Additionally, the device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying the installation process by allowing both power and data transmission through a single cable, thus reducing the amount of wiring required.

Overall, the Axis Communications Q7401 is an excellent choice for organizations looking to upgrade their surveillance systems to meet modern security demands while benefiting from advanced features and reliable performance.
