I/O ports
Use digital input to connect external devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example, PIR sensors, door
or window contacts, and glass break detectors.
Use digital output to connect external devices such as relays and LEDs. You can activate connected devices through the VAPIX®
Application Programming Interface or the web interface.
Port
Name: Edit the text to rename the port.
Direction:
indicates that the port is an input port.
you can click the icons to change between input and output.
Normal state: Click
Current state: Shows the current state of the port. The input or output is activated when the current state is different from the
normal state. An input on the device has an open circuit when it's disconnected or when there is a voltage above 1 V DC.
Note
During restart, the output circuit is open. When the restart is complete, the circuit goes back to the normal position. If you
change any settings on this page, the output circuits go back to their normal positions regardless of any active triggers.
Supervised
: Turn on to make it possible to detect and trigger actions if someone tampers with the connection to digital
I/O devices. In addition to detecting if an input is open or closed, you can also detect if someone has tampered with it (that is, cut
or shorted). To supervise the connection requires additional hardware (end-of-line resistors) in the external I/O loop.
Edge-to-edge
Pairing
Pairing allows you to use a compatible Axis network speaker or microphone as if it's part of the camera. Once paired, the network
speaker acts as an audio out device where you can play audio clips and transmit sound through the camera. The network microphone
will take up sounds from the surrounding area and make it available as an audio input device, usable in media streams and recordings.
Important
For this feature to work with a video management software (VMS), you must first pair the camera with the speaker or
microphone, then add the camera to your VMS.
Set a 'Wait between actions (hh:mm:ss)' limit in the event rule when you use a network paired audio device in an event
rule with 'Audio detection' as condition and 'Play audio clip' as action. This will help you avoid a looping detection if the
capturing microphone picks up audio from the speaker.
Driver: Select the driver for your connected pan-tilt device. The driver is required for the connected device to
function correctly.
Device type: Select the type of device you're connecting to from the drop-down list. The device type is
driver dependent.
Device id: Type the id or address of the connected device. You can find the address in the documentation of
the device.
