Hikvision Camera Wiring Standard301

Hikvision is a leading manufacturer of surveillance equipment, and their cameras are known for their high quality and reliability. One of the important aspects of installing a Hikvision camera is to properly wire it. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to the Hikvision camera wiring standard.

Power Supply

Hikvision cameras require a 12V DC power supply. The power supply can be either an AC adapter or a PoE injector. If you are using an AC adapter, the output voltage must be 12V DC and the current must be at least 1A. If you are using a PoE injector, the injector must be compatible with the Hikvision camera.

Video Output

Hikvision cameras output video in a variety of formats, including analog, HD-TVI, HD-CVI, and AHD. The type of video output will determine the type of cable that you need to use. For analog cameras, you can use a standard coaxial cable. For HD-TVI, HD-CVI, and AHD cameras, you will need to use a coaxial cable that is specifically designed for high-definition video. You can find the appropriate cable type in the camera's user manual.

Audio Input/Output

Some Hikvision cameras have audio input and output ports. These ports can be used to connect a microphone and/or speakers to the camera. If you are using a camera with audio input/output ports, you will need to use a shielded audio cable. You can find the appropriate cable type in the camera's user manual.

Alarm Input/Output

Some Hikvision cameras have alarm input and output ports. These ports can be used to connect an alarm sensor and/or an alarm output device to the camera. If you are using a camera with alarm input/output ports, you will need to use a shielded alarm cable. You can find the appropriate cable type in the camera's user manual.
