Axis Communications 215 PTZ-E Benutzerhandbuch

This section describes the following:

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

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

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.

Connect to GND to activate, or leave floating (or unconnected) to deactivate.

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.
