Due to local regulations or the environmental and electrical conditions in which the product is to be used, a shielded network
cable (STP) may be appropriate or required. All cables connecting the product to the network and that are routed outdoors
or in demanding electrical environments shall be intended for their specific use. Make sure that the network devices
are installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. For information about regulatory requirements, see

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) on page 2

.

I/O Connector

Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording
and alarm notifications. In addition to the 0 V DC reference point and power (DC output), the I/O connector provides the interface to:

Digital output

– For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the

VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The output will
show as active (shown under

System Options > Ports & Devices

) if the alarm device is activated.

Digital input

– An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example:

PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and the input becomes
active (shown under

System Options > Ports & Devices

).

Power Connector

Mini DC connector. Use the supplied adapter.

Audio Connector

The Axis product has the following audio connectors:

Audio in (pink)

– 3.5 mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal.

Audio out (green)

– 3.5 mm output for audio (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an

active speaker with a built-in amplifier. A stereo connector must be used for audio out.

For audio in, the left channel is used from a stereo signal.

Control Button

The control button is used for:

Resetting the product to factory default settings. See
