Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs; if the LEDs are unlit, please
check LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light flashes for network activity indication.
2.3 Connect Alarm I/O
The camera equips one alarm input and one relay output for alarm application. Please refer
to the label on the alarm terminal block and connect the alarm wiring accordingly.
