NOTICE

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. Any network cables that are routed outdoors or in demanding electrical environments shall be shielded (STP) and intended for their specific use. Make sure the network switch is properly grounded. See Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for regulatory requirements.

Power connector - 2-pin terminal block for power input.

Function	Pin number	Description
GND 1 Ground
DC Power 2 Power input 8-28 V		DCmax 4.7 W

Camera connector - RJ12 connector.

I/O terminal connector – Use in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to an auxiliary power and a GND pin, the I/O terminal 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 > Port & Devices > Port Status) 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 > Port & Devices > Port Status).

Function	Pin number	Notes	Specifications
GND 1 Ground
3.3 V DC Power	2 Can be used	to power auxiliary equipment.Note: This pin can only be used as power out.		Max load = 50 mA
Input 3 Digital	Input - Connect to GND to activate, or leave floating (or unconnected) to deactivate.			0 to +40 V DC
Output 4 Digital	output - Internal connection to ground when activated, floating (unconnected) when deactivated. If used with an external relay, a diode must be connected in parallel with the load, for protection against voltage transients.			Max load = 100 mAMax voltage = +40 V DC

SD card slot - A standard or high-capacity microSD card (not included) can be used for local recording with removable storage.

Note: Before removal, the SD card should be unmounted to prevent corruption of recordings. To unmount the SD card, go to Setup > System Options > Storage > SD Card and click Unmount.

Camera LED Indicators

LED Color Indication
Network Green	Steady for connection to a 100 MBit/s network. Flashes for network activity.
	Amber Steady for connection to a 10 MBit/s network. Flashes for network activity.
	Unlit No network connection.
Status Green	Steady green for normal operation.
	Amber Steady during startup and when restoring settings.
	Red Slow flash for failed upgrade.
