Digital I/O Connector Block
The I/O connector on the back of the camera provides a central interface between your home security system
and various output devices.
The two digital inputs are normally used with security sensors, e.g. passive infrared sensors (PIR), smoke
detectors, door/window sensors, etc. They work by detecting a change in the state of open and closed circuit.
You can check the status of the circuit in [Setup] > [Event Setup] > [I/O Status].
The output port is normally used to trigger external audio or visual indicators, e.g. sirens or strobe lights, etc.

Wireless Connection
With the Compro wireless adaptor installed, you can also opt for using the wireless connection. Please keep in
mind that you can only have one active connection at a given time, either through LAN or wireless network.
If you connect the IP camera to the Intranet, then the same group of users can share the access of IP
camera. Please also ensure that the wireless adaptor has been securely installed, or it could lead to unstable
connection.
If the wireless connection drops randomly or plainly seems slow, try bringing your IP camera in closer
proximity to the wireless AP/router and then see if the situation improves.

wireless connection speed. Generally, the number of walls and ceilings
shall be kept in minimum.
