XProtect® Bosch Intuikey Keyboard Smart Client Plug-in

General description

The Bosch Intuikey is a video control station that enables the user to view and control cameras and video
recorders at local and remote facilities.

A full description of the Bosch Intuikey is found in a separate document, Bosch Controller KBD Universal User
Guide.pdf.

The BOSCH INTUIKEY SmartClient Plug-in enables using the BOSCH INTUIKEY to perform a subset of
Milestone XProtect Smart Client functionality instead of using the SmartClient User Interface. The plug-in is only
available in a version compatible with the 32-bit version of the Milestone XProtect Smart Client.

There is no “one to one” mapping of BOSCH INTUIKEY functions to SmartClient functions and vice versa. Some
BOSCH INTUIKEY functionality is not applicable for SmartClient, and SmartClient contains functionality not
implemented by the BOSCH INTUIKEY.

The reader should have knowledge of the BOSCH INTUIKEY operation, e.g. by reading the document mentioned
above.

Keyboard installation mode

All communication between the Bosch Intuikey keyboard and the third-party PC is performed through an RS-232
interface. The following diagram illustrates this configuration:

This connection requires a standard Null modem RS-232 link. If desired, the Bosch Security Systems cable
S1385 can be used. Connect one end of the RS-232 interface cable to the 9-pin RS-232 Serial Port located on
the far right side of the rear of the KBD-Universal keyboard. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable
to a COM port on the PC.

NB: In order to get use Terminal mode, the firmware version of Bosch Intuikey need to be 1.92 or later.

Joystick Options

For joystick setup, please go to Device Settings tab.
The joystick tilt direction on the BOSCH INTUIKEY is:

• Joystick forward -> Tilt up

• Joystick backwards -> Tilt down

This is the opposite of the default for a normal joystick.

The ‘Flip Up / Down’ switch enables the user to invert Tilt direction to match standard joystick.

By adjusting the Pan/Tilt and Zoom TrackBar, PTZ sensitivity can be changed as well.

Serial Port Properties Setup

• COM Port: Select the COM (Serial) port the BOSCH INTUIKEY is connected to. The Drop-Down list
displays a list of all COM port on the computer.

• Baud, Parity, Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Handshake: These must be the same values that are defined on
the BOSCH INTUIKEY by the system administrator.

Configurable Actions

The Bosch Intuikey SmartClient Plug-in contains a method for sending User-defined instructions to the
SmartClient. Currently, the number of configurable actions is configurable but limited to 640.

www.milestonesys.com Page 10 Configuration & Licensing

XProtect® Bosch Intuikey Keyboard Smart Client Plug-in

The actions are defined using the setup module, described later in this document. They are activated by pressing
a number and following ENTER key (configurable, e.g. can be changed to F1, F2…) on the Bosch Intuikey.

Example: pressing digits 1 and 2 on the numeric keypad followed by ’ENTER’ (default), send the instruction that is
defined as number 12 in the generic actions list to the SmartClient. If no instruction is defined for generic action
12, nothing happens.

In the Keyboard Setup dialog you define the instructions (actions) that are executed when you press a number (1

- 12) followed by the ENTER key. The Drop-Down button appears on the selected row. A click on this button
displays a list of all available SmartClient instructions, where you can select one to assign to the current rows
number. The list looks like the below example of a possible assignment.

You can configure the number of configurable generic actions by changing the value of the NumericUpDown.
The highlighted number is the number of configurable actions displayed in the setup form. In the example above

this number is 12.

• Make sure camera number (shortcut) is defined, which are used to identify each camera. This can be

To access the Client tab, select the required camera in the overview pane, then select the Client tab in
the properties pane.
