I/O Connector

I/O Connector Definition for the Internet Camera

The DCS-3420 provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one relay switch for device control. The

relay switch of pin 1 and pin 2 can be used to turn the external device on or off. Pin 3 and pin 4 can be connected

to

an external sensor and the state of voltage will be monitored from the initial state ‘LOW’

The I/O connector provides the physical interface for digital output (DO) and digital input (DI) that is used for connecting

a diversity of external alarm devices to the Internet Camera such as IR-Sensors and alarm relays.

The digital input is used for connecting external alarm devices and once triggered images will be taken and e-mailed.

The above diagram shows a typical wiring configuration for a normally closed PIR motion sensor. Please refer to your

specific motion sensor for the power supply connection to the device since this will be critical to the success of your

installation. Note that the positive from the PIR is connected to the D+ of the I/O port of the camera and the negative

from the PIR is connected to the D- of the camera I/O port.
