It connects to 10Base-T Ethernet or 100Base-TX Fast
Ethernet cabling. This Ethernet port built auto-negotiation
protocol can detect or negotiate the transmission speed of
thenetworkautomatically.PleaseuseCAT-5cabletoconnect
the Network Camera to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet network
switch or hub.
Note
ONLY use one power source, either from DC
or from 802.3af Power over Ethernet. (For
ICA-8200/ICA-8500only)

Pin Function Description
1GND Digital Input: Only one set is designed in this camera
model.Theinternaldeviceisalsoaphoto-coupledelectrical
relay, and the external device can be simply an On/Off
switch. Each set of On/Off switch can be connected as one
trigger source.
Digital Output: Each digital output pin to COM is a photo-
coupled relay on Normal Open status. External device can
directlyconnecttothe terminals.However,the currentthat
will go through the 2 nodes must not exceed 130mA. An
external “Relay” can also be connected to the terminals as
an implementation. In this case, current (or/and voltage)
limitationisspeciedbytheexternalRelay.

2.3 Installation
Step 1. Prepare a PC with Ethernet link to the network
Step 2. Connect an Ethernet cable
 Connect LAN port (RJ-45) of the IP camera to a network switch. For
ICA-8200/ICA-8500, when this switch is a PoE device, you can ignore
the next step.
Note
For ICA-8000 series, if there has an IEEE 802.3af PoE switch in your
network, you can connect the IP camera’s LAN cable to this PoE
switch to obtain power. The power adapter is unnecessary when the IP
camera is powered by PoE switch.
