Unit Connectors

This section describes the following:

• The I/O terminal block (for AXIS 215 PTZ only)
• LED indicators
• Power connection

Note:

AXIS 215 PTZ-E does not support audio and does not have I/O ports.

I/O terminal connector (for AXIS 215 PTZ only)

Used in applications for e.g. motion detection, event triggering, time lapse recording

and alarm notifications. It provides the interface to:

• 1 transistor output - For connecting external devices such as relays and

LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by VAPIX®, 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.

• 1 digital input - An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed

circuit, for example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received

the state changes and the input becomes active (shown under Event Configuration > Port Status).

• Auxiliary power and GND

Network connector - RJ-45 Ethernet connector. Using shielded cables is recommended.

Can be used to power auxiliary equipment. Note that the AXIS 215 PTZ itself
cannot be powered via the I/O terminal connector.

4

Uses an open-collector NPN transistor with the emitter connected to the
GND pin. If used with an external relay, a diode must be connected in paral-
lel with the load, for protection against voltage transients.
