1.Introduction
The DVR keyboard can be used alone or together with DVR mainframe and built-in hard disk
VCR to control matching terminal products, such as high/constant- speed dome cameras, decoders,
etc. The electric outlet between the controlling keyboard and the receiving terminal is EIA/RS – 485,
which enables the keyboard to control as many as 127 dome cameras or other terminals within a
maximal communication range of 1.2 Km. Using the controlling keyboard, you can easily control
and setup for variable-speed dome cameras. The controlling keyboard can also directly control
terminal decoders so that the control of the front devices such as the constant-speed pan/tilt, the lens,
the light, the rain brush etc can be realized. It can connect single or multi DVR mainframes or
mainstream stand-alone DVRs, and it can also control all the panel-controlling function.

3. Through the keyboard, variable-speed operation can be applied to the built-in pan/tilt of the
high speed dome camera.
4. Via the keyboard, pre-set positions can be setup and previewed in the high speed dome
camera.

5. Through the keyboard, up to four tour routes can be setup and previewed in the high speed
dome camera, with each tour having a maximum of 16 pre-set positions, dwell time and speed
for each pre-set positions programmable.
6. The high speed dome camera can be manually / automatically controlled with the keyboard.
7. Lens zoom ratio, focus and iris can be manually controlled via the keyboard.
8. More than one terminals, such as dome cameras and decoders, can be controlled with the
keyboard.
9. Joint-control can be realized by simultaneously using the DVR keyboard with one or more
DVR mainframes or built-in hard disk VCR.
10. The keyboard has menu displaying LCD, 3D controlling joystick, as well as DVR or
built-in hard disk VCR panel controlling functions.
III. Description of Keyboard Panel
1. Front Panel
On the front panel of the DVR keyboard are 3-D variable-speed controlling joystick, keys and
