Other Connections
This section describes the procedures in preparing the external devices that you can connect to
the camera. The camera supports DC12V power input, 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.
NOTE:
After connecting external devices, use a waterproof tape to protect the cable connection
or house the cable inside a junction box (purchased separately).
Connecting a Power Adapter (Optional)
The camera can be powered by a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch that is IEEE802.3af
compliant. In case of using a non-PoE switch or your PoE switch has a limited power supply, you
can purchase a power adapter and directly connect the camera to a power outlet.
NOTE:
The power adapter is not bundled in the package.
How to Connect Audio Input / Output Devices
(Optional for A41~A47 only)
If using an audio input device, such as a microphone with a built-in amplifier, connect the device
to the
Mic Input
jack (RED) of the camera. If using an audio output device, such as a speaker,
connect the device to the
Audio Output
jack (GREEN) jack of the camera.
NOTE:
Make sure that the connected audio input device has a built-in amplifier. Connecting an
ordinary microphone will dwarf sounds and will result in inaudible recording.
