Hardware Manual

Other Connections

This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to

the camera. The camera supports Digital Input and Output (DI/DO) and Audio Input and Output

devices using the bundled terminal blocks. The use of these devices, however, is optional.

How to Connect the DI/DO Devices (Optional)

Depending on your surveillance needs, you may connect digital input or output devices to your

camera to trigger events or notifications.

Digital Input (DI) devices can be used to notify the camera about an activity in the camera site. DI

can be triggers of events. For example, you can connect a “panic button” to the camera; as such

when the panic button is pressed, the alarm signal will be sent through the camera. Other

common DI device applications are emergency button, smoke detector, passive infrared sensor,

etc.

Digital Output (DO) devices are external devices that are activated by the camera upon an event

inside the camera. For example, you can connect an “alarm horn” to the camera; as such when

an event occurs inside the camera (e.g. detected intruder), the alarm horn will sound. Other

common DO device applications are motion-triggered lights, electric fence, magnetic door locks,

etc.

You can connect up to two DI and two DO devices to your camera.

Press and hold the orange tab as you insert the wire through the pin slot, then release the orange

tab to secure the wire.
