Hikvision camera Alarm Output Contact electrical rating?

[reactiv]

Anyone know the answer to this?

1. What is the electrical rating for volts/amps for this contact?
2. Is it the same for all cameras -if not what is the detail?
3. No idea why this is missing from every Hikvision manual/datesheet I looked at but is there a Hikvision document somewhere?

Thanks,

Hikvision don't seem to publish any ratings for their input/output contacts.
However, it's not a good idea to switch a LOAD from the camera; in case a fault in that external circuit damages your camera.

Connecting a sounder to Thermal Camera

Hi, We have a client with some DS-2TD1217B-3/PA thermal camera's and he would like to add an additional sounder / flasher unit when the temperature alert is triggered. So, does anyone have experience of a) what we need to connect to what :-) and b) what the settings are on the camera to signal...

Thanks Phil for link to other post. Seems sense of opinion on this forum and other sources that the rating is 12vDC @30mA. I would always use an interposing relay and not direct drive the load. Thanks.
