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 power-

ful audio unit with microphone and speaker, a passive-Infrared detec-

tor, an external temperature sensor, an illumination sensor as well as two signal in-

puts and two signal outputs. The two large buttons on the unit allow easily imple-

menting 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 weather-

proof housing (IP65) reliably protects the ExtIO against any kind of weather. The

connection to the MOBOTIX camera can be established using either the LAN (Ether-

net 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.
