DC Power Output Terminal

• 10.5—13.5 V DC

• Maximum of 100 mA load drive is possible.

3 External Sensor Input

• External Sensor Input receives the signal produced by the alarm sensors, (e.g., door sensor, infrared ray sensor). Those signals can activate Image Transfer in the Alarm mode feature on page 74.

• Use it by opening or GND short-circuit.

4 External Device Control Output

• External Device Control Output sends the electric current to activate the external devices, (e.g., light, buzzer).

• External Output Control window can set the External Device Control

Output. Refer to page 89.

• It is an open collector circuit, and the maximum drawing-in current is

100 mA. Prevent the maximum voltage from exceeding DC Power

Output voltage of pin 2.

CAUTION

• THE EXTERNAL I/O IS NOT CAPABLE OF CONNECTING DIRECTLY

TO DEVICES THAT REQUIRE LARGE AMOUNTS OF CURRENT. IN

SOME CASES, A CUSTOM INTERFACE CIRCUIT (CUSTOMER

PROVIDED) MAY HAVE TO BE USED. SERIOUS DAMAGE TO

NETWORK CAMERA MAY RESULT IF A DEVICE IS CONNECTED

TO THE EXTERNAL I/O THAT EXCEEDS ITS ELECTRICAL

CAPABILITY.

• THE LOW VOLTAGE/CURRENT CIRCUITS AND HIGH VOLTAGE/

CURRENT CIRCUITS ARE IN THE NETWORK CAMERA CIRCUIT.

THE QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN SHOULD DO THE WIRING NOT BY

YOURSELF. INCORRECT WIRING COULD DAMAGE NETWORK

CAMERA. YOU COULD RECEIVE THE FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK.

• External I/O (Input/Output) are independent. Output terminal is controlled only by External Output Control window on page 89.
