1 INTRODUCTION

The MOBOTIX ExtIO is the weatherproof, compact expansion
and connection box for connecting all MOBOTIX cameras (IT
and Secure models). This box expands the cameras by a power­ful audio unit with microphone and speaker, a passive-Infrared detec­tor, an external temperature sensor, an illumination sensor as well as two signal in­puts and two signal outputs. The two large buttons on the unit allow easily imple­menting door and gate communication solutions.

In the security and house technology area, the MOBOTIX ExtIO represents the ideal
addition to the MOBOTIX cameras, especially if you would like to control e.g.
lamps, doors, controls wires or other external devices using pushbuttons. The
signal output can also be used to connect the MOBOTIX camera via the ExtIO to the
input of an alarm system, for example.

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

You can easily mount the MOBOTIX ExtIO remotely (i.e. not directly near) a
MOBOTIX camera inside of a building or outside, to a wall or ceiling. Its weather­proof housing (IP65) reliably protects the ExtIO against any kind of weather. The
connection to the MOBOTIX camera can be established using either the LAN (Ether­net cabling) or a special MOBOTIX USB cable (specific for each camera model;
max. 5m/16ft long). In both cases, the camera's power supply uses the cable
(LAN/PoE or USB). As power is supplied via the cabling, the ExtIO does not require
its own power supply.

1.1 MOBOTIX ExtIO Concept

Simple Installation

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

Buttons

The two buttons of the ExtIO can be used to control its two signal outputs, for ex­ample. In addition, a MOBOTIX camera connected to the ExtIO can react to the
pressed button and can execute the messaging options and actions defined in the
MOBOTIX camera.

Switching external Devices

Using the two galvanically separated signal outputs, the ExtIO can switch devices
with up to 50V AC or DC and max. 100mA (5W).

MOBOTIX ExtIO User Manual

The following sections contain a brief overview for all of these questions as well as
references to the relevant sections in this manual, which contain more detailed in­formation. For more information on the MOBOTIX ExtIO and the available accesso­ries, please also refer to www.mobotix.com in the Products section.

2.1.1 Mounting to a Wall or Ceiling

The ExtIO has been designed for mounting directly to a wall or ceiling. In order
to simply the installation, you can use the following mounting options (On-Wall set,
In-Ceiling set, Wall Mount, Pole Mount).

Follow these general steps to install and operate the ExtIO:

1) Prepare the installation (drill the holes and install the cabling, select a
mounting option – directly to a wall, with On-Wall set, with In-Ceiling set,
...)

2) Connect the model-specific USB cable to the MOBOTIX camera (not re­quired when connecting the ExtIO via Ethernet)

3) Connect the cables to the ExtIO
a) Connect the Ethernet cable or the model-specific USB cable
b) Connect the cables for external components (optional)

4) Mount the ExtIO to the wall, ceiling or to the mounting option (On-Wall

set, In-Ceiling set, ...)

5) Activate the ExtIO in the camera software

The back of the ExtIO's housing has three openings for cables. For more detailed
information on the installation process, see

sections 2.2 and higher

; the drilling

templates are at the end of the manual.

2.1.2 Connecting via Network or USB

You can either use the LAN (Ethernet cabling) or the model-specific MOBOTIX USB
cables to connect the ExtIO to a MOBOTIX camera. Note that the maximum length
for USB cables is 5m/16ft (100m/110yd for Ethernet cabling).

Advantage of using Ethernet – you do not need to modify the camera. When us-

ing USB, you need to install an additional model-specific cable to connect the cam­era to the ExtIO. This usually means that you need to take down the camera, guide
the USB cable through the mount and mount the camera again.

Advantage of using USB separate network connection to the ExtIO is not required.

You simply use the attached MOBOTIX camera for activating and configuring the
ExtIO with only a few clicks.

the ExtIO to walls in indoor and outdoor appli­cations. The wall mount also covers RJ45 wall
outlets and has ample space for additional
modules.

Pole Mount (MX-D22-OPT-MH)

If you would like to mount the MOBOTIX ExtIO
to a pole, you should consider using the MO­BOTIX Pole Mount. This mount can only be
used in conjunction with the wall mount. The
supplied stainless steel straps allow attaching
the mount to poles with diameters between
60 and 180mm (2.4 to 7.1in).

2.1.4 Providing the Camera Connections, Wall Outlets

Once the mounting position, the mounting options and the type of connection have
been decided upon, the cabling can be installed. If you are planning to use the net­work to connect the camera and the ExtIO, you should make sure that the network
connections have been properly tested before mounting the ExtIO, so that the
proper functioning is guaranteed.

3.3 Software Updates

MOBOTIX provides free-of-charge software updates for the ExtIO on
www.mobotix.com (Support > Software Downloads). These updates contain
new features and– if required– bugfixes. This means that you can upgrade an
early ExtIO (USB only) with Ethernet connectivity.

To update the ExtIO software, load the new software into the MOBOTIX cam­era (Admin Menu> Update System Software). Note that you need a properly
running and connected ExtIO for this to work. The software update to the Ex­tIO can be supplied both via an Ethernet connection and via USB. All settings
of the MOBOTIX camera and the ExtIO remain unchanged by the software
update.

Updating the software involves the following steps:

(1) Download the software from the Internet: Download the update file for

the ExtIO from www.mobotix.com to your computer (Support > Software
Downloads).

Read the notes in the readme file.

(2) Connect and activate the ExtIO: Make sure that the ExtIO is running and

that it is properly connected to the MOBOTIX camera. The left LED of the ExtIO
has to be permanently green.

(3) Upload the software to the ExtIO: Read the notes in the Admin Menu>

Update System Software dialog. Follow the instructions of the camera soft­ware to complete the installation.

Avoid any power failure or disruption of the USB or Ethernet connections
while uploading the software.

Once you have started the software update of the ExtIO, avoid interrupting or
stopping the process. Do not perform additional actions in your browser, do
not load another website at the same time and do not close any browser
windows.

While updating the software, the LEDs of the ExtIO show a specific blinking
pattern. The status information of the upload process is displayed in a popup
window of the camera's browser interface. Wait until the camera software
prompts you for further actions.

(4) Reboot the camera: Reboot your camera only when the camera software

prompts you to do so. The ExtIO will automatically reboot after the software
update has been completed. The connection between camera and ExtIO will
be reestablished automatically.

3.4 Configuration Example

The following example of a door intercom system demonstrates one possible ap­plication and shows the steps for properly configuring a MOBOTIX D22M with an
ExtIO using a USB connection.

3.4.1 Functional Overview

A MOBOTIX camera and an ExtIO are used at the entrance of a building for access
control purposes; the camera should also be able to open the door when in­structed to do so.

If a visitor rings the doorbell key of the ExtIO , the MOBOTIX camera activates an
additional source of light near the entrance , plays back a voice message (“Wel­come to xyz company …”) and establishes a video SIP connection to the reception-

ist's computer (or the guard on duty – ).

The softphone on the receptionist's computer signals an inbound video phone
call from the camera at the entrance. The receptionist accepts the phone call and

talks to the visitor via the microphone and the speaker of the ExtIO.

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: move image section, key5: center image).

If the receptionist would like to open the door for the visitor, he/she activates the
door opener using the softphone key0, allowing the visitor to enter the build-

ing. If required, the receptionist can manually switch the additional lights using the
softphone keys ; key3 switches the lights on and key9 switches them off again.
