devices to these ports:

 

 

(connect through input ports) or respond to alarms

DI1—Alarm input 1

 

 

(connect through output ports).

 

 

DI2—Alarm input 2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO1—Alarm output 1

 

 

 

 

DO2—Alarm output 2

 

 

 

 

GND—Ground (for use if needed)

If you are using the IP camera on a network connection

camera:

 

 

 

 

• With the screws on the terminal block facing down,

 

 

 

 

take either of these actions:

 

 

 

 

– For a 12 VDC power adapter—Put the positive

 

 

 

 

wire into the slot at the right rear of the terminal

 

 

 

 

block, put the negative wire into the middle slot

 

 

 

 

and put the ground wire in the left slot. (On the

 

 

 

 

Cisco power adapters, the positive wire has a

 

 

 

 

white stripe and the negative wire has no stripe.)

 

 

 

 

– For a 24 VAC power adapter—Put one wire into

 

 

 

 

the into the slot at the right rear of the terminal

 

 

 

 

block and put the other wire into the middle slot.

 

 

 

 

There is polarity, so either wire can go into either

 

 

 

 

slot.

 

 

 

 

• Use a small flat-head screwdriver to tighten the

 

 

 

 

screws on the bottom of the terminal block so that the

 

 

 

 

power adapter wires are attached securely.

 

 

 

 

Note The power adapter may include an attached

 

 

 

 

terminal block that does not fit the IP camera. If

 

 

 

 

so, remove that terminal block and replace it with

 

 

 

 

the one that is provided with the IP camera.

 

 

 

 

Next, plug the terminal block into the power input port on

 

 

 

 

back of the IP camera. The terminal block fits into the

 

 

 

 

input port in one way. Make sure that the tabs on the

 

 

 

 

terminal block face the bottom of the IP camera.

 

 

 

 

Finally, plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.

 

 

 

 

The IP camera powers up.
