AXIS 213 PTZ
Connection Module
The connection module is an optional accessory configured and controlled via the camera user interface.
When connected to the camera it provides the following connections:
AUDIO IN/OUT
1. Connect an electret microphone (not supplied) to the
AUDIO IN
socket.
2. Connect a loudspeaker (not supplied) to the
AUDIO OUT
socket (amplified speakers only).
Inputs and outputs (I/Os)
The I/Os are used in applications for event triggering, time lapse recording, alarm notification via email, and
image storage to FTP locations, for example.
•
Input
- for a pushbutton. If the button is pressed, the
state
changes, and the input is active (shown under
Event Configuration > Port Status
).
•
Output
- for an alarm device that can be activated from output buttons on the
Live View
page, or as an
action for an
Event Type
.
If the alarm device is activated,
the output shows as
active
(under
Event Config-
uration > Port Status)
VIDEO IN
This input can be used to connect an external analog camera. It is then possible to display images from this
camera in the AXIS 213’s web pages.
Only one image source at a time can be displayed. This is selected from
System Options > Advanced >
Plain Config.
Open the group
ImageSource
and then set the
ImageSource IO Video Connector
to
BNC
for
the external camera. Setting this to
YC
will instead show the images from the AXIS 213 itself.
VIDEO OUT
Via the standard BNC connector, this output allows the AXIS 213 to be connected directly to a traditional
CCTV system. Note that to display the image from VIDEO OUT with the correct orientation, the AXIS 213
must be ceiling mounted.
RS-232C
This port can be used for generic TCP/IP or HTTP communication, and is intended for use by advanced
applications and users only. The port can configured in the
Serial
group (set Port 1 Usage to the required
protocol) in
System Options > Advanced > Plain Config.
