PTZ Camera Keyboard Controller (US Plug 100240V) Product overview A Linux based PTZ camera keyboard designed for reliable control of dome IP cameras. The unit provides fast, precise joystick control, preset patrol and AB scan programming, and wide protocol compatibility for use in security, government, finance, education, and other monitored environments. Key benefits Wide compatibility: Linux based controller compatible with most dome IP cameras and supports standard network monitoring protocols for easy integration. Simple and accurate control: Three dimensional joystick lets an operator pan, tilt, and zoom smoothly; twisting the joystick performs zoom for intuitive single handed operation. Flexible preset and patrol setup: Can be paired with a limited number of cameras to configure preset patrols and AB scans, reducing operator workload during routine monitoring. Long communication range: RS485 bus interface with communication distance up to approximately 1500 m when using 0.5 mm twisted pair cable, suitable for distributed camera systems. Scalable and reliable: Supports common PTZ protocols and multiple baud rates to match existing camera equipment and system requirements. Technical specifications Power input: US Plug 100240V Power consumption: Less than 5W Communication interface: RS485 bus Communication distance: Approx. 1500 m / 4921 ft with 0.5 mm twisted pair cable Supported protocols: PELCOD, PELCOP, AD Baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 Communication parameters: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity Joystick: Three dimensional; joystick controls PTZ up, down, left, and right; twisting the joystick controls zoom Display: LCD How this product solves common problems Replaces slow or imprecise camera control by providing a tactile joystick and LCD feedback for rapid response. Reduces manual monitoring time through preset patrols and AB scan routines that automate common camera paths. Integrates with existing monitoring systems via standard PTZ protocols and configurable baud rates, avoiding costly system redesign. Typical applications Bank lobby monitoring where quick manual control and preset patrols are required for teller and entrance coverage. Courtroom and government facility surveillance requiring reliable PTZ control and audited camera positions. Campus or school security centers that need a compact, easy to operate controller for multiple dome IP cameras.
