Out of our 22 smart cameras, the ones with the most digital I/O are three ADLINK NEON-2000 models. Each has 8 channels: 4 inputs and 4 outputs. Only one of them, the NEON-2000-ONO, is still active. The other two are end-of-life (EOL).

What this means for reject gates and stack lights:
- If you need the most outputs on a camera that's still active, the NEON-2000-ONO is the only 8-channel option, with 4 outputs. adlinktech...adlinktech.com ↗“identity.lifecycle_status=Active”
- The EYE6N0-I678 ONX has 6 channels in total, but I couldn't find how many of them are outputs. Check its datasheet before you plan your wiring. yuan.com.twyuan.com.tw ↗“io.dio_channel_count=6”
- The four Allied Vision Alecs models (G1-1242 NA8 / NX16 and G1-510 NA8 / NX16) each have 2 inputs and 2 outputs. No total is listed for them, so they aren't in the table above. alliedvisi... +3alliedvision.com ↗“io.digital_input_count=2, io.digital_output_count=2”alliedvision.com ↗“io.digital_input_count=2, io.digital_output_count=2”alliedvision.com ↗“io.digital_input_count=2, io.digital_output_count=2”alliedvision.com ↗“io.digital_input_count=2, io.digital_output_count=2”
What I couldn't find:
- Digital I/O for 10 of the 22 smart cameras. No total channel count is listed for them, so I can't say how they compare to the cameras above. The Alecs models are the exception: their input and output counts are listed.
- Output electrical ratings. I couldn't find output current, voltage, or type (sinking/sourcing, isolated or not) for any of these cameras. Whether an output can drive a gate solenoid or stack light directly, or needs a relay or interface module, is something to check in each camera's datasheet.
