PTZ Camera Controller Keyboard A compact, easy to operate controller for dome IP cameras that delivers precise pan tilt and zoom control, wide protocol compatibility, and long communication range for professional surveillance setups. Key benefits Broad compatibility with Linux based PTZ camera drivers and most dome IP cameras, reducing integration complexity. Intuitive 3D joystick for smooth and precise pan tilt and zoom movements, enabling faster target acquisition and tracking. Low power consumption under 5W for continuous operation with minimal energy use. Long RS485 communication distance up to 1500 m 4921 ft using 0.5 mm twisted pair cable, allowing flexible installation across large sites. Supports standard monitoring protocols PELCOD, PELCOP, and AD for reliable interoperability with existing cameras. Simple setup and pairing to assign presets, preset patrols, and AB scan routines to multiple cameras to automate routine monitoring. Features and specifications Power consumption: less than 5W Communication interface: RS485 Bus Communication distance: up to 1500 m 4921 ft using 0.5 mm twisted pair cable Communication protocol: PELCOD, PELCOP, AD Baud rate options: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 Communication parameters: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity Control: 3D joystick for pan tilt and zoom; joystick twisting controls zoom Display: LCD for status and feedback Functionality: pairing with multiple cameras, preset patrol modes, AB scan Practical advantages Faster surveillance workflows: assign and recall camera presets or run patrols to cover key areas without manual steering. Scalable installation: support for standard protocols and multiple baud rates makes the controller suitable for mixed camera fleets and phased upgrades. Reliable longrange control: RS485 Bus and extended communication distance allow central control from a single location across large facilities. Typical applications Public safety and city surveillance: centralize control of multiple dome cameras at transit hubs, intersections, or plazas to monitor crowds and traffic flow. Financial and government facilities: use preset patrols and AB scans to routinely inspect entrances, teller zones, and perimeter areas in banks, courthouses, and administrative buildings. Education and campus security: manage coverage across parking lots, building entrances, and common areas with quick manual override and automated patrol sequences. What is included 1 x PTZ Camera Keyboard This PTZ camera controller provides practical, energy efficient control for professional surveillance environments where compatibility, precise joystick control, and long communication range are required.
