Input/Output Control

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)

The camera is equipped with an 8-pin GPIO connector. The connector is a standard IEC Metric Screw Sized connector with an M8, 8-position, A-Coded socket.

Note: To retain the IP rating of the camera, an IP-rated cable or sealing plug must be used.
