Input pins: The input pins can be used for 1-way external sensor input. For example, you may connect a
Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor to it for motion detection. When the external sensor is triggered, the IP camera
can be programmed to send an e-mail with a picture or to control the internal relay output.
If you link an external alarm device to Pins 3 and 4, when Alarm Input Armed is selected (Figure 10.0), the
external alarm is enabled.
Output pins: The output pins can be enable IO linkage on alarm.
You can also use
& to control IO output Switch ON/OFF (See Figure 4.4).
NOTE: All the pins work as switch only.
