• Network Port

Connect a network cable with an RJ-45 connector to this port. If using a PoE switch, you can supply power to the camera using an ethernet cable. For more information on PoE switch use, refer to the switch manufacturer's operation manual. You can configure, manage, and upgrade this camera and monitor its images from a remote computer over the network. For more information on network connection setup, refer to the IDIS Discovery operation manual.

• Power

Connect the 24VAC power.

- Audio In/Out

  • L_I: Connect an audio source to this port. (line in)
  • L_O: Connect an amplifier to this port (line out). This device does not feature a built-in audio amplifier unit and therefore requires the user to purchase a separate speaker system with a built-in amplifier.

- Alarm In/Out

- ALI:Connect an alarm-in device to this port. (Mechanism: Choose between an NC (Normally Closed) type or an NO (Normally Open) type) → Connect a mechanical or electrical switch to the alarm in port and the GND (ground) connector. Alarm in range is 0V to 5V. In order to detect alarm input from an electrical switch, the signal must be higher than 4.3V from an NC switch or less than 0.3V from an NO switch and must last for longer than 0.5 seconds.

- ALO: It is the BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) -open collector output. If the voltage and current exceed the specification limit (max. load: 30mA, max. voltage: 5VDC), the product could be damaged. When connecting the device which exceeds the specification limit, refer to the picture (circuit) below.

IDIS DC-S6281HX - - Alarm In/Out - 1

  • Check your local laws and regulations on making video or audio recordings. The user will be held liable for any violation of the law.
  • When switching over from 24VAC to PoE as the power source, the system will be rebooted once the power adapter is disconnected.
  • Organize the power cable so that it will not cause people to trip over or become damaged from chairs, cabinets, desks, and other objects in the vicinity. Do not run the power cable underneath carpet or a rug or plug the cable into a power outlet shared by a number of other devices.
  • The network connector is not designed to be connected directly with cable or wire intended for outdoor use.
  • Wrap the camera-end of the network cable twice around the provided ferrite core for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). If not, you may experience video stuttering.
