AXIS P1355 Camera I/O + relay to turn on light/garage door

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on integrating the AXIS P1355 camera with relay systems to control a green traffic light and a garage door based on license plate recognition. The user seeks guidance on selecting appropriate relays and diodes, specifically for a 220V traffic light and a garage door mechanism. Key points include the need for a relay with a built-in diode for simplicity and questions about wiring configurations to prevent damage to the camera. The user also explores alternative solutions, such as using a remote control for the garage door.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AXIS P1355 camera specifications and I/O capabilities
  • Knowledge of relay and diode selection for 220V applications
  • Familiarity with basic electrical wiring and circuit design
  • Experience with license plate recognition systems and their integration
NEXT STEPS
  • Research suitable 220V relays with built-in diodes for use with the AXIS P1355 camera
  • Learn about wiring configurations for connecting multiple outputs from the camera
  • Investigate the use of remote control systems for garage door operation with relays
  • Explore documentation and community forums for additional insights on AXIS camera integrations
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, system integrators, and DIY enthusiasts looking to automate traffic control and access systems using the AXIS P1355 camera.

here is the manual http://www.axis.com/en/files/manuals/um_p1355_49956_en_1303.pdf

see page 61

Notes: i have seen this thread https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/axis-camera-with-i-o-and-relay-to-turn-on-lights.538043/ but this camera is a bit different i think as it has digital inputs and outputs and different voltagei need to use this camera in a parking lot to turn on a green traffic light and at the same time open a garage door/barrier when camera recognizes the correct license plates (via embedded separate application installed in camera which will trigger the i/o) as output from the camera (i won't use inputs at all in this application only output alarm of the camera)

Im trying to figure out which relay and diode should i use and how to connect them to the camera but i can't figure it out and documentation of the camera isn't helping at all, i searched ebay and i can't find a proper relay that will do the job or at least i think, any ideas ? The traffic light is 220v (x1 60w-100w normal light bulb that will turn on when barrier/garage door opens from the camera and off when it closes) I would prefer a relay with built in diode for simplicity if available

My guess is pins 4 and 2 should be connected to 220v relay with 3.3v drive and the diode head arrow should point to pin 2 or pin 4 ? the plus goes to pin 2 from relay coil ?

This is the first question the second question is when i connect the output to the garage door inputs (ssee attached pic) can i connect it directly from the camera or does it need a diode and relay again ? I think garage door has its own relay right ? so i should put diode again in parallel so it won't burn the camera out ?

Third question can i connect both the traffic light and the garage door inputs to the same outputs of the camera directly or do i need some circuit in between that needs to be purchased separately?

If there are any ready made solutions for this please let me know as i searched google without success

(this guy is out of the question http://www.ibou.fr/cameras/cameras.html too expensive and not responsive to emails)

thanks a lot for any help in advance

p.s. someone suggested i could do this easier (part 2 of the question) by using directly the remote control of the door and wiring the camera via the relay to the remote directly which works with a small 12v battery. In a few words glue the button of the remote permanently down and the camera via the relay will provide 12v momentarily via relay open to the remote which will act like a button was pushed and door will open.any thoughts ? cheers

p.s.2 i got another remote which uses exacty 3.3 v battery like the camera alarm output's could in this case be wired directly from camera to remote without relays and diodes or it won't work ?

thanks
