D-Link DCS-5300 User Manual
I/O Connector Definition for the Network Camera
The DCS-5300 provides a general I/O terminal block with one digital input and one relay switch for device control. Pin
1 and pin 2 can be connected to an external sensor and the state of voltage will be monitored from the initial state
‘LOW’. The relay switch of pin 3 and pin 4 can be used to turn on or off the external device.
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 Network 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.

to be sent to your email account or FTP server when triggered by a motion sensor
or other external device:
• Select the weekdays you would like to record and enter the “Snapshots begin” time and “Snapshots end” time for
the weekly schedule, or select
All the time except for the above schedule
if you want to enable full time snapshot
recording.
• Check
Event operation
.
• Set the delay “before detecting next event” to avoid continuous false alarms following the original event.
• Set the delay to “take snapshots after event” to capture the direction of the moving object.
• Check the trigger condition for input and motion detection (in this case “Input is Low”).
• Check
Trigger output alarm while input condition matched
and
Upload snapshots while motion detected
.
• Select to either send snapshots by email or by FTP.
Click the

To adjust the focus of the lens you will need to turn the lens slowly either clockwise or counterclockwise until the
desired image appears. DO NOT over-turn the lens in either direction as it will be out of focus or may damage the
camera.
To help you get the best image quality, keep in mind that while adjusting the DCS-5300’s focus you can preview the
image quality from your Web browser.
