Unit Connectors - Axis Q7401 User Manual

Unit connectors

Network connector - RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). Using shielded cables is recommended.
PoE classification switch - Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af), selectable power classification:
• Class 2 - max 6.49W
• Class 3 - max 12.95W (default)
Note:
Power classification is performed at power up. If the video encoder does not power the connected analog camera,
select PoE Class 2 to inform the PoE switch that the video encoder only needs max 6.49W. PoE Class 3 is the default
setting.
Power connector - 2-pin terminal block used for power input or power output.
• Power input - To supply power to the video encoder with the supplied power adapter or an external
power supply 8-20V DC, max. 7.2W.
• Power output - the video encoder can supply power to an analog camera or auxiliary equipment if
powered by PoE, 12V DC max 5W (420mA).

Function Pin number
GND 1
DC Power 2
Notes:
• The video encoder can deliver a maximum of 5W (420mA) with PoE. This includes the output on the power
connector and the I/O terminal connector.
• Do not connect a power supply if the video encoder is connected to PoE.
Audio in - 3.5mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal (left channel is used from a stereo signal).
Audio out - Audio output (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an active speaker with a
built-in amplifier. A pair of headphones can also be attached. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.
I/O terminal connector - Used in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering,
time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to an auxiliary power and a GND pin,
the AXIS Q7401 has 4 pins that can be configured as either input or out put. These pins
provide the interface to:
• Transistor output - For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Con-
nected devices can be activated by AXIS VAPIX API, output buttons on the Live View
page or by an Event Type. The output will show as active (shown under Event Configuration > Port Status) if the
alarm device is activated.
• Digital input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for exam-
ple: PIRs, door/window contacts, and glass break detectors. When a signal is received the state changes and the input
becomes active (shown under Event Configuration > Port Status.).
