Wiring question for Hikvision Audio and Alarm functions

[GaretJax]

Hello all,

I tracked this picture down from Amazon and it shows what I think are the connectors for the audio and the alarm functions of the camera. Can someone please help me understand what type of cabling I need to use to make use of these functions and whether or not their use affects my decision to use a PC and software like BI or an NVR? Do I have run more than ethernet cable?

Thanks a lot.

@nzipcamera, I think the op was asking about connecting the alarm and audio out, not the pinout for the ethernet.

That is true, but the link he provided was very useful. It got me started - as with most things it generated more questions than answers at this point. Still working through them....
