Active Solid-State
The third and least common method is the emitter follower where the camera output supplies the current used for detection. In this configuration is shown in Figure 7.

The relay output configurations vary based on the manufactures design. Because of these variations, the IP Reset I/O Detect input needs to operate in one of three
ways. Refer to your camera user manual for more information regarding the output relay configuration of your camera.
