Step 4: Further connections (optional)
If desired, connect additional wires to the installation site of the BirdGuard. The wires or connection
options mentioned in this section are optional.
Connecting the unit to a network
You can connect the BirdGuard to your existing network via WiFi, or
alternatively use a network cable (Ethernet). For reasons of network
stability, we principally recommend using a network cable, as WiFi is
sensitive to interference (range, house walls acting as shields, reliability
of performance, third party WiFi networks, wireless transmitters causing
interference in the area, etc.).
The BirdGuard can be powered by PoE or using the power supply unit
provided.
If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi interface of the BirdGuard
remains inactive.
Connect the network cable in the house to your Internet router or to
your PoE switch or PoE injector that is connected to your Internet router.
Network cable in
accordance with the
Cat.5 standard or better.
Alarm output
The BirdGuard has a zero-potential relay contact for connecting external
devices such as relays e.g. event triggering and alarm notifications (two
wires). There is the possibility of switching on all external devices that
work at a maximum power of 1A in the voltage range of up to 24V
(AC/DC). The BirdGuard does not provide its own power supply for the
external devices. This is provided through the separate power supply of
the external devices. You can learn more about the installation of the
power supply from the instruction manual or technical specifications of
your external devices. Should you have any questions about this, please
contact the manufacturer of your external devices. You can find
compatible external devices and a sample wiring diagram at
