Offering PTZ control of cameras, it allows for control of domes running Vista or Pelco RS485 telemetry. Simple to install with easy set-up menus, the battery operation makes it useful as an engineering set-up and test tool.

The keyboard is simply and intuitively set out and there is an in-built LCD display, making it very easy to use. Password protection ensures that only authorised personnel can use the equipment. Because the keyboard can be run by battery or a 12V DC PSU, it is ideal as an engineering set-up tool.

"The keyboard is ideal for single dome systems that don't require DVR or matrix control," says Mark Pritchard, divisional director for Vista. "It will be a very effective tool for those applications where simple dome control is required via a standard joystick keyboard."
