Appendix H. Connecting Digital Input/
Digital Output Devices
Depending on your surveillance needs, you may need to 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.
The camera comes with two terminal blocks to connect DI/DO devices.
Map the pins according to one of the pin combinations in the table below. Loosen the screw
and insert the wire into the pin slot on the terminal block, then tighten the screw to secure the
wire. Connect the terminal block to the corresponding cable connector.
