Unit connectors
Antenna connector - Reverse SMA connector for antenna.
Network connector - RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Supports Power over Ethernet. Using
shielded cables is recommended.
Power connector - Mini DC connector. 7 - 20V DC, max 5W. See product label for ±
connection.
Audio in - 3.5mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal (left channel is
used from a stereo signal).
Audio out - Audio output (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system
or an active speaker with a built-in amplifier. A pair of headphones can also be attached. A
stereo connector must be used for the audio out.
I/O terminal connector - Used in applications for e.g.
motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording
and alarm notifications. It provides the interface to:
• 1 transistor output - For connecting external
devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected
devices can be activated by AXIS VAPIX AP,
output buttons on the Live View page or by
an Event Type. The output will show as
active (shown under Event Configuration >
Port Status) if the alarm device is activated.
• 1 digital input - An alarm input for connect-
ing 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 Event Configura-
tion > Port Status).
• Auxiliary power and GND
Function Pin number Notes Specifications
GND 1 Ground
5VDC Power 2 Can be used to power auxiliary equipment
(7-20VDC) or as a +5VDC (100mA) output.
Max load = 100mA
Digital Input 3 Connect to GND to activate, or leave float-
ing (or unconnected) to deactivate.
Must not be exposed to
voltages greater than
20VDC
Transistor
Output
4 Connects to GND when activated. If used
with an external relay, a diode must be con-
nected in parallel with the load for protec-
tion against voltage transients.
Max load = 100mA
Max voltage = 24VDC
