COM – Digital Out common pin.
D_Out – Digital Out pin.
D_IN – Digital In pin.
Factory Default (DEFAULT): To let the camera backs to
factory default.
1. Connect the cable of Digital I/O, Audio output and Audio input if you want to use these
functionalities.
2. Connect Ethernet cable for network connection.
3. Connect power adapter to turn on 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.
5. Set up the network configurations according to the network environment. For further
explanation, please refer to Network Configuration chapter.
6. After finish the configuration for the very first time, if you want to use wireless network,
connect the included USB wireless dongle into the USB port, and then configure the
wireless settings, then, plug out the Ethernet cable to use the wireless connection.

3.1.2 Digital I/O Connections
The terminal block of the camera also provides Digital Input and Digital Output. You can
connect the wires of connector to this terminal block to output these signals. The I/O
connector provides the interface to:
1 set of Digital Input (D_IN + GND) – The digital inputs for connecting devices that
can toggle between an open and closed circuit, such as PIRs, door/window
contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the status changes
and the input becomes active.
1 set of Digital Output (D_OUT + COM) – The output to Relay Box or Relay Board,
and switch on the alarm device such as LEDs, Sirens, etc.
