If user uses the 2 wires for the PTZ camera connection, please connect to the RS-485 TX+ and TX- of the DVR site.
The I/O card enables you to connect 4 sensor inputs and 4 relay outputs. Just connect the external sensor and relay pin directly to the I/O card pinhole. Check the table below and locate which pinhole is assigned to sensor input and relay output.
The signal from the sensor (i.e., infrared sensors, smoke detectors, proximity sensors, door sensors, etc.) is being transmitted to the I/O card and this triggers the system to respond and send signal to relay device (i.e., alarm, telephone etc).
