ENGLISH 4. I/O Configuration I/O Connection a. Please connect the G & DO pin to the external relay (buzzer) device When no event happens, DO output is 5V (DO and GND are disconnected). When the camera detects an event happening and triggers an external alarm, DO output is 0V (DO and GND are connected).
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Set up the IP camera through Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE 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 camera, using the same cable that is used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the camera locations.
