AXIS P7214 Video Encoder

Hardware overview

• Resetting the product to factory default settings. See page 43.

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

I/O connector

DC power input

RS-485/422 connector

Note

For technical speciﬁcation s, see page 49.

I/O terminal connector - Use in applications for e.g. motion dete c tion, event triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notiﬁcations.

In addition to an auxiliary power and a GND pin, the I/O terminal connector prov ides 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 > Ports & Devices) if the alarm device is activated.

• Digital input — A n alarm input for connecting devices tha t can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for

example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, e tc. W hen a signal is received the state changes and

the input becom es active (shown under System Options > Ports & Devices).

Note

The I/O connector is connected to the housing (fan/heater) on delivery, and will trigger an input port ev

ent to indicate

a fan or heater error when activated. See Events, on page 29 for information on how to set up an event.

Can be used to power auxiliary equipment.

Note: This pin can only be used as power out.

Max load = 250 m A

Digital input — Connect to GND to a ctivate, or leave ﬂoating

(unconnected) to deactivate.

Digital output — Internal connection to ground when

activated, ﬂoating (unconnected) when deactivated. If

used with an inductive load, e.g. a relay, a diode must be

connected in parallel with the loa d, for protection against

voltage transients.

Max load =100 mA

Max voltage = +40 V DC

Note

Pin 3 is I/O Port 1, pin 4 is I /O Port 2, pin 5 is I/O Port 3 and pin 6 is I/O Port 4.
