Input Pins: The input pins can be used for 2-way external sensor input. For example,
you may connect a Person Infrared Sensor (PIR) to it for motion detection. When
external sensor triggered, IP Camera can be programmed to send an email with
picture or control the internal relay output.
Input pins can connect 2 sensors. The sensor should provide open/close signal only. The
two lines of sensor 1 should connect to Pin 3 & Pin 4; the two lines of sensor 2 should
connect to Pin 5 & Pin 4.
Output Pins: IP Camera has an internal relay. Relay’s two normally open contacts are
represented by Pin 1 and Pin 2. You may use it to control one external load below AC/DC
