3. Product Installation A. Hardware Installation Cable Connections SD Card Slot (Inside of camera) Power Jack (DC 12V) Network Connector Terminal Block (Inside of camera) Power Jack: To connect the DC 12V power adapter. Network Connector: The RJ-45 connector allows connect to the Ethernet network. Micro-SD Card Slot (inside of the camera): Insert a Micro-SD card if you want to do the event recording in the camera.
4. If the camera is PoE model, the power adapter is not necessary. The camera will get the power from the PoE injector or PoE switch. PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP phone or a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations. Please follow the below figure for the connection.
Microphone Input Connects to a passive-type of microphone Audio Output Connects to an amplified speaker I/O Connections The terminal block inside of the camera also Digital Input and Relay Output. You can connect the wires of connector to this terminal block to output these signals. The I/O connector used in application, for e.g., motion detection, event triggering, alarm notifications.
Digital Input (Alarm Input) GND (Ground): Initial status is LOW. Alarm: Max. 50mA, 3.3VDC. Door/Window Contacts Relay Output COM: Common pin. N.O. (Normally Open): Max. 1A / 24VDC or 0.5A / 125VAC. N.C. (Normally Close): Max. 1A / 24VDC or 0.5A / 125VAC.
3-Axis Gimbals Adjustment The gimbals adjustment offers the convenience method to install on the ceiling or wall. You can open the case, and adjust the lens to the direction as wished.
