Keyboard and NVR Connection
When connecting the keyboard to an NVR, the keyboard and NVR must be on the same local network. The LAN ports both will need to be plugged into a network switch or a router/modem depending on the network layout on site.
PTZ Keyboard Setup
In this example, we are going to connect to an NVR, with a PTZ camera connected to it.
The NVR IP address is going to be 192.168.1.100, and the PTZ Keyboard will have an address of 192.168.1.150.
- Once the keyboard is powered up you'll then see the below display.
- Press the ENTER button, and input the password 888888. Press the ENTER button to proceed.
- Select Menu Settings > System > Network
- Set DHCP to Off. Press ENTER
- In this menu, you may assign an IP address to the PTZ Keyboard, please ensure it is within the same network range as the recorder you are connecting to. In this case, we are going to give the PTZ Keyboard an IP address of 192.168.1.150. Press the ENTER button to save the settings.
- Press the ESC button and select the Zone option.
- Set the following parameters, then Press ENTER.
ID: 1
Name: Name to identify the NVR.
