Using the Internet Camera as a
Security System
D-Link's IP Camera System is one of the most cost effect
security solutions today. Both the DCS-1000 Wired model
and DCS-1000W Wired/Wireless model have input/output
controls for interfacing with security systems.
On the back of the Camera you will find an 8-position
connector. This connector has 2 input triggers for security
sensors and 2 output triggers for security alarms.
Security sensors for input are available as Passive (low-
current/low voltage) sensors or Active (powered) sensors.
Because of power limitations of the DCS cameras and its compatibility with Power over
Ethernet standards the sensor power requirement must be obeyed for proper operation.
We have listed Passive and Active components that will interface with the DCS family of
Cameras. Passive components must not exceed 5V 100mA. Active components must
be self-powered by an external power source.
For the demonstration below a D-Link DCS-1000 was purchased from www.dlinkshop.com
, the security equipment was purchased from www.smarthome.com, and some cable
accessories from a local hardware store.
