victorb 0 Posted March 12, 2014 I am wondering if anyone can tell me what type of connector I need to connect to this I/O Terminal on a wireless security camera? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted March 12, 2014 I am wondering if anyone can tell me what type of connector I need to connect to this I/O Terminal on a wireless security camera? If you use that will it still be a wireless camera? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
victorb 0 Posted March 12, 2014 Yes. I will using this camera with a magnetic door sensor as the alarm trigger. "Wireless" refers to how it connects to a network, it does not mean the camera is totally without wires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyParlee 0 Posted March 12, 2014 What's the camera? It should have screw down terminals on a block in the box that just clicks in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
victorb 0 Posted March 12, 2014 What's the camera? It should have screw down terminals on a block in the box that just clicks in there. The picture I posted shows the terminals. They are neither screw down or push in. The camera is a generic one I order on ebay (see picture), but I have seen many Wireless IP cameras with the same type of I/O Terminal. I just can't find the type of connector that I need to connect to them. \ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyParlee 0 Posted March 12, 2014 Wasn't there a little block with screw downs in the parts bag that came with it? I've got some here that look like they'd fit but I don't know which camera they came out of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Numb-nuts 1 Posted March 12, 2014 These are generally made by Phoenix Contact but make sure they are 3.81 mm pitch and 4 way. They do some of these at Farnell and RS components but don't think they have a 4 way one but you could get a 6 way and cut it down I suppose. I found these on ebay UK and these on ebay.com These are failly standard in the CCTV industry. Before you put your wires into the terminal block crimp wire end ferrules on the ends to stop the wires from fracturing and you will have years of trouble free use. Even coat them in 'Contralube' for even better connection. (not to be confused with silicone grease, which is an insulator and will have the REVERSE effect) [/b] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
