Connecting Alarm Input / Output

The camera can connect to external alarm input/output device through digital input/output.

Alarm input/output is available on select models.

Step 1 Connect alarm input device to the alarm input end of the I/O port. Device collects different states of alarm input port when the input signal is idling and being grounded.

• Device collects logic “1” when input signal is connected to +3 V to +5 V or idling.
• Device collects logic “0” when input signal is grounded.

Step 2 Connect alarm output device to the alarm output end of the I/O port. The alarm output is relay switch output, which can only connect to NO alarm devices.
NO1 and COM1 or NO2 and COM2 constitute a switch to provide the alarm output, which is shown in Figure 1-3.
The switch is open normally and closed when there is alarm output.

Step 3 Log in to web page, and configure alarm input and alarm output in alarm setting.

• The alarm input on the web page is corresponding to the alarm input end of the I/O port. There will be high-level and low-level alarm signals generated by the alarm input device when an alarm occurs, set the input mode to “NO” (default) if the alarm input signal is logic “0” and to “NC” if the alarm input signal is logic “1”
• The alarm output on the web interface is corresponding to the alarm output end of the device, which is also the alarm output end of the I/O port.

Network Configuration

Device initialization and IP setting can be finished with the ConfigTool or on the web page. For more information, see the web operation manual.
