Basic Connections

DAlarm Cable Connection

Use a thicker cable than 24AWG for connection. (Maximum length 600 m/656 yds.)

①Outputting alarm signals (ALARM OUT1-2)

Connect a buzzer, lamp, or other alarm device to the alarm output cable. Alarm can be output via two channels.

( Electronic manual)

¥After connecting an alarm device, configure the output conditions for the corresponding alarm output cable via network operation on the ALARM SETTINGS screen.

¥Configuration of alarm output terminal is also possible via remote operation. For that, set [ALARM OUT] to “REMOTE” on the ALARM SETTINGS screen.

②Inputting alarm signals (ALARM IN1-4)

Connect an alarm switch, infrared sensor, or other device to detect alarm conditions to the alarm input cable.

Up to four independent alarm input channels are available.

( Electronic manual)

¥After connecting an alarm device, configure the input conditions for the corresponding alarm input cable via network operation on the ALARM SETTINGS screen.

¥To use the alarm input terminals as color/black-and-white mode switching terminals, follow the steps below.

•Under CAMERA SETTINGS, set [DAY/NIGHT] to “COLOR” and select the cable you want to use in [EXT ALARM].

•On the ALARM SETTINGS screen, in [POLARITY], select the signal polarity of the alarm input terminal.

¥If you connect an external switch to ALARM IN1 terminal, you can specify time by controlling the switch. In this case, configure the [CLOCK IN] setting via network operation on CLOCK SETTINGS screen.

EAudio Jack Connection

¥AUDIO IN Jack (White)

Use this jack to connect an optional external microphone to listen to the sound while monitoring the surveillance video, or simultaneously record the video and sound.

¥AUDIO OUT Jack (Black)

Connect this jack via an audio cable to the audio input jack of an amplified speaker system or the monitor.

This terminal is compatible with mono microphone with 3.5-mm jack or line mono signals (only the left channel in cases of stereo signals).

FPower Connection

Connect the power terminals (24 VAC/12 VDC) of the camera to a power supply.

①Connection to 24 VAC power supply

Although the power terminals have no polarity, the earth grounding wire must be connected to the GND (earth grounding) terminal.

②Connection to 12 VDC power supply

Note the polarity (+/Ð) of the power terminals when connecting the camera to a 12 VDC power supply.

Incorrect polarity may cause damage to the camera.

¥Be sure to use an 18AWG or thicker wire power cable.

¥If you must use a long power cable, determine the cable type by ensuring that the voltage at the 24 VAC/12 VDC terminal is within the operating range of the camera.

¥If you are using PoE, do not use the camera’s power terminals (24 VAC/12 VDC).

GConnection of controller

By connecting a system controller (sold separately), the camera can be controlled remotely.

Configure the protocol, baud rate and address. (Refer to “Control/Address Settings” Page 11).
