Notes

1 INTRODUCTION

The MOBOTIX CamIO is the expansion box for connecting the MOBOTIX cameras

M12 and M22M (IT and Secure models). In the security and home automation

fields, the CamIO is the ideal supplement to the MOBOTIX cameras, if you want to
switch lamps, doors, control wires, pushbuttons or other external devices, evaluate
other sensors than those in the camera or use external audio devices (M12 models
only).

An external device (e.g. a lamp) connected to the CamIO-AC/ACplus can be
powered directly by the CamIO and is switched on or off using the first signal out
put of the MOBOTIX camera. The second signal output can be used for potential
free switching of another external device (e.g. door opener; max. 230V~ or 48V~/
68V=, depending on the CamIO model). This signal output can also be used to
connect the MOBOTIX camera to the input of an alarm system, for example.

You can also attach external sensors to the MOBOTIX camera via the CamIO, e.g.
to evaluate remote sensors, such as light barriers, reed switches, external PIR sen­sors or the output of an alarm system.

MOBOTIX CamIO User Manual

All CamIO models can be
used with the MOBOTIX
M12 and M22 cameras
(IT and Secure models).

The CamIO can switch
Ohm resistive loads with
max. 5A, (max. 500W
lamps at 230V or
300W lamps at 115V).

When mounting the MOBOTIX CamIO, the foot of the CamIO wall mount replaces
the original foot of an M12 or M22 camera mount. The foot of the CamIO wall
mount covers the CamIO and reliably protects it against atmospheric exposure

(IP65). In addition, the foot of the CamIO wall mount also contains an additional
speaker, which is more powerful than the camera's internal speaker.

CamIO models

• CamIO-PoE: This model is supplied using

PoE (IEEE 802.3af), which powers the camera

and the CamIO itself. The signal output Out1
can switch one external device (max. 5A), if
max. 48V~ or 68V= have been connected
to terminals 1 and 2; the signal output Out2
can be used for potential-free switching of
another external device (max. 5A) with max.
48V~ or 68V=.
The CamIO-PoE also features two signal in-

puts, one audio input (Line-In) and one
audio output for directly connecting the supplied additional speaker

(max. 2.5W/8Ω).

• CamIO-AC: This model has the same fea­tures as the CamIO-PoE, but it can be con­nected directly to utility power (230V~/
115V~) and can power one external device

with up to 230V~ current (Ohm resistive

load, max. 5A, max. 500W lamp on 230V~,
max. 300W on 115V~). It can also be used
for potential-free switching of a second exter­nal device (max. 5A) with up to 230V~/

115V~ at signal output Out2.

• CamIO-ACplus: In addition to the features of
the CamIO-AC, the CamIO-ACPlus has a re-

chargeable battery, which provides a
backup power supply for the M12 models

even during power failures (approx. 45 min­utes at 20°C/68°F, 20 minutes at -20°C/-4°F).

1.1 MOBOTIX CamIO Concept

Simple Installation

When designing the MOBOTIX CamIO, special focus was placed on easy installa­tion of the expansion box. The supplied drilling template facilitates mounting the
CamIO and connecting the cabling for devices and data connections is easy,
secure and weatherproof.

Directly supplying power to and switching of external devices

The CamIO-AC and CamIO-ACplus models can directly power one device at sig-

nal output Out1 (230V~/115V~ at terminals 1 and 2 required), allowing you to

switch this device from the MOBOTIX camera (max. 5A, max. 500W lamp on
230V, max. 300W on 115V). You can use the second signal output Out2 for po­tential-free switching of another external device.

The CamIO-PoE model has similar possibilities for switching devices, but can only
switch loads of up to 48V~/68V=.

Backup power using the CamIO-ACplus

The integrated rechargeable battery of the CamIO-ACplus model can bridge
smaller power failures and thus protects the integrity of the video and audio data.
At room temperature (20°C/68°F), the CamIO can power a MOBOTIX M12D for
about 45 minutes; at -20°C (-4°F), the CamIO still provides 20 minutes of backup
power. Providing backup power for an M22M using a CamIO-ACplus is currently
not possible.

Using external sensors

Using the two signal inputs of the CamIO, the MOBOTIX camera can monitor exter­nal sensors and apply the different mechanisms available to the camera for storing
audio/video and for sending notification messages.

Connecting audio devices to M12 Cameras

Using the audio terminal of the MOBOTIX CamIO (Audio-Out), you can attach the

supplied external speaker in the wall mount foot to the MOBOTIX camera

(2.5W/8Ω; M12 models only). If you connect an external microphone via an ex­ternal pre-amplifier to the Line-In terminals of the CamIO, the MOBOTIX camera will
also use this input device. It is likewise possible to connect the Line-In terminals of
the CamIO to the Line-Out connector of a computer.

Weatherproof

The weatherproofness of the MOBOTIX CamIO has been tested extensively and
has reached IP65 (absolutely dustproof and resistant against water jets). Special
attention has been paid to the waterproofness of the power cables, for which spe­cial cable seals have been developed.

Robust and durable

Like all other MOBOTIX products, the CamIO has been designed for a long product
life. The housing from PBT-30GF is robust and reliably protects the interior of the
CamIO.

1.3 Important Notes

1.3.1 Safety Regulations

1.3.2 Cables for the MOBOTIX CamIO

Only use cables, which have been approved for the pertinent type of installation.
Always observe the allowed wire cross-sectional sizes (see table below) and the
maximum cable lengths.

• Connecting the power supply: To provide the power
supply to the CamIO, a two-wire cable is required. A
ground conductor is not needed. If a power cable with
ground conductor is used, this wire must not be con­nected in the junction box. Instead, connect the ground
conductor of any attached device in the junction box.

Make sure that the fuse for this cable is not stronger
than 16A.

• Connecting an electrical device: In order to provide power to an external
device (Ohm resistive load, max. 5A, 500W lamp on 230V, max. 300W
lamp on 115V), the CamIO switches two wires (phase conductor and neutral).

A ground conductor for grounding the external device needs to come
from the junction box.

• Connecting signal wires and external sensors: Use suitable installation ca­ble for connecting another relay or a signal line (e.g. to an alarm system) or
an external sensor.

• Connecting the Ethernet cable: Make sure that you
are using a suitable eight-wire Ethernet installation ca­ble CAT5 (or higher) for connecting the CamIO to the
patch panel of a structured wiring system in a building.

Make sure that you are completely removing the
shielding of the Ethernet cable and that no part of
the shielding touches the circuit board.

2.4.2 Power Supply of the CamIO

You can supply power to the MOBOTIX CamIO using one of these two methods:

• Direct power supply: Mains power (230V~/115V~) is connected to termi­nals 1 and 2 of the CamIO's terminal connector at the bottom. The CamIO will
power a MOBOTIX camera and an external device attached to terminals 3
and 4. The external device will get the same voltage that has been con­nected to terminals 1 and 2 of the CamIO.

• Indirect power supply: The CamIO is powered by a PoE switch, which pro­vides power according to the Power-over-Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3af.
The attached MOBOTIX camera is powered by the same switch.

29/56

MOBOTIX CamIO User Manual

You can supply power to
the CamIO-AC and
CamIO-ACplus models
either directly or indi­rectly.

Power to the CamIO-PoE
can only be supplied in­directly via the network
cabling (PoE).

Caution

When supplying power to an external device from the CamIO (termi­nals 3 and 4), the CamIO itself needs to be connected to the power
supply (terminals 1 and 2). This is possible on CamIO-AC and CamIO-

ACplus models by directly connecting 230/115V~ to terminals 1 and 2

of the CamIO. For the CamIO-PoE, the maximum allowed voltage at
terminals 1 and 2 is 48V~ or 68V=. This voltage is then available at
terminals 3 and 4 of the CamIO.

Make sure that an external load never exceeds 5A.

Note

The CamIO-PoE model supports indirect power supply via PoE. Provid­ing direct power with 230/115VAC is not possible when using the PoE
model. For additional information on the features of the individual
CamIO models, see chapter1.

Caution

Only qualified personnel may install and open the CamIO and con­nect it to the mains power; make sure that the relevant regula­tions of your country are respected!

It is imperative that all electrical wires have been disconnected
from the mains power when working on or servicing the CamIO!
Please also make sure to adhere to the applicable regulations for
this kind of work!

MOBOTIX will not assume any responsibility for damages from
faulty installations or inappropriate use!

Installing the power supply:

Use a two-wire cable (or any other suitable cable) to provide the power supply.
Make sure that you are respecting the minimum cable diameters.

Install the cable seals:

• Remove about 5cm (2in) of the outer insula­tion (sheath) of the power cable.

• Next, remove about 5mm (0.2in) of the wire
insulation.

• Guide each wire into a separate finger of the
cable seal. Make sure that each finger only
contains a single wire (the clear plastic facili­tates this check, see figure).

• Puncture the tips of the cable seal fingers with
the wires.

2.7 Wiring, Fire Prevention, Lightning and Surge Protection

When installing the wiring inside or outside of buildings, make sure you always ad­here to the relevant regulations on wiring, fire prevention and protection against
lightning.

MOBOTIX recommends having MOBOTIX devices installed only by specialists ac­customed to installing network devices and having proper respect for the pertinent
regulations regarding lightning protection and fire prevention as well as the cur­rent technology for preventing damages from electrical surges.

More information is available at an institution such as the International Electro-
technical Commission (IEC, www.iec.ch) or at a manufacturer of protection de-
vices against lightning and electrical surges, such as Dehn (www.dehn.de).

2.7.1 Wiring

When installing the wiring, make sure you follow these guidelines:

• Data cable: Make sure to use only double-shielded
CAT 5/7 cable (S/STP) for Ethernet connections (see
section 3.3,

Connecting the Camera

in the

Camera

Manual

).

• Outdoors: Installing the camera outdoors requires spe­cial precautions and measures regarding the cables as
well as lightning and surge protection (see section

2.7.3,

Lightning and Surge Protection

).

• Wire lengths: The cable segments must not exceed the maximum allowed
cable lengths in order to ensure proper data transfer (see section 3.3,

Con-

necting the Camera

in the

Camera Manual

).

• Avoid induction: When running data cables parallel to existing regular
power lines or high-voltage wires, make sure you observe the minimum dis­tances to the power cables.

2.7.2 Fire Prevention

When installing the power lines to the camera, make sure you always adhere to
the relevant regulations on wiring and fire prevention at the site of the installation.

2.7.3 Lightning and Surge Protection

To prevent damage from lightning and power surges, make sure you follow these
guidelines:

• Lightning conductors: In areas exposed to lightning (e.g. on roofs), a dis­tance holder (1m (3ft) above and away from the camera) and proper light­ning conductors need to be installed in order to prevent lightning strikes into
the camera and to ensure that the energy of a lightning strike is properly led
to the ground.

3 OPERATION OF THE CamIO

3.1 Activating the CamIO

Once the CamIO and the MOBOTIX camera have been properly installed (see
chapter2), you can set up the camera for proper operation. To begin with, it is nec­essary to establish the power supply of the CamIO (either 230V/115V directly or in­directly via the network cabling using a PoE switch).

Once the power supply to the CamIO has been established, the connected MO­BOTIX camera should also have power and you should be able to access the cam­era from any browser via the network (chapter3,

Operating the Camera

, of the cor-

responding

Camera Manual

clicking on the Te st button, you should hear the alarm from the cam­era speaker and the additional speaker of the CamIO.

Note

In order to use all features of the CamIO, make sure that you are
activating it in the camera software (Admin Menu> Manage
Hardware Expansions). Please note that you will need a software
version 3.3.1.x or higher on the MOBOTIX M22M and a software
version 3.1.0.x or higher on the MOBOTIX M12.

3.2 Configuration Sample

The following example of a door intercom system demonstrates one possible ap­plication and shows the steps for properly configuring a MOBOTIX M12 with a
CamIO-AC/ACplus. Make sure that you have installed and setup the CamIO and
the MOBOTIX camera as described in chapter2.

3.2.1 Functional Overview

A MOBOTIX camera and a CamIO are used at the entrance of a building for access
control purposes and should open the door when prompted to do so.

If a visitor rings the doorbell (signal input1), the MOBOTIX camera automatically ac­tivates an additional source of light near the entrance (signal output1), plays back
a voice message ("Welcome to xyz company …") and establishes a video SIP con­nection to the receptionist's computer (or the guard on duty).

The softphone on the receptionist's computer signals an inbound video phone call
from the corresponding camera at the entrance. The receptionist accepts the call
and can talk to the guest at the entrance (using the additional speaker of the
CamIO and the microphone of the door intercom system, which is also connected
to the CamIO).

The image displayed on the softphone, i.e. the live video stream from the MOBOTIX
camera allows for visually checking the visitor. The softphone's keys provide func­tions for selecting certain image areas and for zooming the image (keys1, 7: zoom
control, keys2, 4, 6, 8: image section movement, key5: center the image).

If the receptionist would like to open the door for the visitor, he/she activates the
door opener (signal output2) using the softphone key0, allowing the visitor to en-

Sample: Door intercom sy­stem with Video SIP and
additional lighting

ter the building. If required, the receptionist can manually switch the additional
lighting using the softphone keys: key 3 to switch the lights on and key 9 to switch
them off again.

In the meantime, the camera is automatically recording the video and audio
stream on a file server. Furthermore, the CamIO's rechargeable battery (CamIO­ACplus models only) protects the MOBOTIX camera against short-time power fail­ures. As an alternative, you can also use the doorbell system's UPS for this pur­pose.

3.2.2 Terminal Connections of the CamIO

• Terminals 1 and 2: Power supply of the CamIO and the additional lighting
(230V~/115V~).

• Terminals 3 and 4 (Out1): Additional lighting

Using the backup power
feature of the CamIO­ACplus requires a MO­BOTIX M12. M22 came­ras do not support this
feature yet.

Currently, the audio
features of the CamIO
can only be used with
M12 cameras. A future
version of the CamIO
will support external
speakers and micro­phones also on M22 cam­eras.

Caution

The power supply cable to the CamIO needs to have a basic insula­tion level (BIL) of at least 230V/115V (depending on the mains volt­age). Never lay bell wires (BIL 50V) next to 230V or 115V cables!
Make sure that the fuse for this cable is not stronger
than 16A.

If a power cable with ground conductor is used
(three-wire cable), this wire must not be connected in
