Are all ethernet pairs used with 2132F-IS (Alarm and Audio I/O)?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there are any unused pairs in the camera's ethernet cable, when the camera has Audio and Alarm I/O? I read that a standard IP camera doesn't need blue/blue & white, and brown/brown & white, but not sure of Hikvision will use both of these for the alarm and audio I/O?

I have a 2132F-IS 3mp IP camera with Audio and Alarm I/O. I bought this as I intended to wire my GJD PIR to the alarm pigtail to trigger recording onto my 7208HGHI-SH/A Turbo Hybrid DVR - which didn't come with Alarm I/O. The problem is, is that I only have one Cat5 cable routed to the camera location from the original installation, and not enough wiring for the PIR unless I route new wiring externally which I don't want to do.

Thanks

Alarm/Audio are transmitted digitally over IP; its a standard IP camera.

Great, thanks! Will get wiring then!

Video is working well now thanks. One further question: my cable is providing power via a PoE injector. As I have two pairs free on the Cat5, I intend to use one of the pair to power up a mic. Would the injector provided enough 12vDC power to a pair of wires for this purpose?

poe is 48VDC, but you can use one of these at the far end to extract power for your mic and leave the wires alone: http://www.amazon.com/ELEGIANT-Ethernet-Splitter-Adapter-Cameras/dp/B0146LFMZG
