Digital Input or DI is the pair of pins in the camera’s terminal block through which it is possible to connect an external device (a switch or some kind of sensor) with the camera, allowing the external device to notify the camera about an activity in camera site. You can think of the devices that are connected to DI as the triggers of events.

Digital Output or DO is the pair of pins in the camera’s terminal block through which it is possible to connect an external device with the camera. That external device can be activated by the camera upon an event inside the camera or by the command from the control center. You can think of the devices that are connected to DO as the responders to events.
The document contains the applications of DI and DO , Connection Types of ACTi devices , and more examples.
