How to Connect Digital Input / Digital Output Devices 

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 cam

era. 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.
