Hey guys, new to the forum...
I just purchased a 5222L, and have a quick question about using the digital output port. I hooked up a multimeter to the output line and I am able to switch it on / off manually through the integrated web server. Next, I tried to switch it on / off through my android phone or the mydlink web site and I cant find an option to do this. Am I missing something?
My usage case is that I am an engineer and want to have this camera at work observing a cycle test of a mechanical device. If I (or any other team member) log in and notice something that doesn't look correct, I'd like to use the digital output to drive a small relay that shuts off the test remotely. Also - as a home user, I might want to use that relay to switch on/off a bedroom light in my cabin, open / close my garage door, etc...
Is there a way to accomplish this? It appears the only options I have presently are to rely on motion detection or the state of the digital input but neither of those will do what I need... A simple on/off button would do this, and I'd buy several cameras if the option was available.
Thx,
Kelly
