note

Critical I/O Notes:

  • DIO GND (Pin 7) must be connected to GND for digital input functionality to work
  • DIO GND is tied to GND through a thermal fuse
  • When connecting to systems with different power supplies, use DIO GND to tie grounds together
  • Reset (Pin 15) - Pull to GND to reboot camera (not needed for most applications, keep floating to avoid unexpected restarts)

Power Connections​

Dual Power Input Design:

  • Pin 13 & 14: Both connected to Vin+ (19-24V positive)
  • Pin 5 & 6: Both connected to GND (power ground)
  • Dual connections provide redundancy and ensure consistent voltage across components
note

If there is insufficient power, modify the wiring to ensure that the 24V power supply is connected to both Vin+ ports (pins 13 & 14), rather than only connecting it to a single terminal.
