5.2. System Setup
The CCTV System Control Keyboard can connect and control various front-end/terminal equipment such as
Motordome Cameras, DVRs and Decoders via the RS-485 communication port. You can access the operation and
configuration functions of these by directly connecting them to the keyboard.
5.3. Connection to a Motordome Camera
Connect a Motordome Camera directly to the Keyboard by connecting the + and – of the RS-485 port with the
corresponding + and – ports of the Motordome Camera. Set both devices to the same protocol and baud rate.

Connect a GRUNDIG Recorder directly to the Keyboard by connecting the+ and –of the RS-485 port with
the corresponding + and – ports of the KB Port of the GRUNDIG DVR. Set the serial settings of the

keyboard and the DVR and configure the COM1 port of the DVR as described above.

5.5. Connection to DVRs and Motordome Cameras
It is also possible to connect several GRUNDIG DVRs and Motordome Cameras directly to the keyboard. There
will be no serial connection between the cameras and the DVRs, but the PTZ control will be more fluent.
5.6. Combined Connection (Recommended)
Another option to connect the Keyboard to a DVR and a Motordome Camera would be to connect them all directly
together, using a triangle connection. This will give you full control of the DVR and the Motordome, while adding
a slighty better performance under CAM mode using the PELCO-D protocol of the camera.
5.7. Camera Protocol Setup
If the Motordome Camera is connected to the DVR and not directly to the Keyboard, you do not need to setup the
protocol and baud rate. The Keyboard will use the GRUNDIG protocol to send the commands to the DVR, which
will forward them to the Motordome Camera.

English

If you have the Motordome Camera connected directly to the Keyboard, you will need to set up the protocol and
the baud rate of the Motordome Camera in the keyboard. To change the protocol of the CAM mode, you will need
to get administrator access to the keyboard first. Press [ID] and afterwards [ON], then enter the admin password
123456 and press [Enter] afterwards. Select the camera for which you want to change the protocol by pressing
the Camera ID and [Enter] afterwards and change the protocol by pressing the key [Protocol] until the used
protocol appears on the display, then press [Enter] to confirm. To adjust the baud rate, press the [Baudrate]
button until the used baud rate appears on the display. Press [Enter] to confirm the selected baudrate.
You can also use the [Search] button to automatically search for the protocol and baud rate. Follow the
instructions on the display to find the correct protocol and baud rate. Leave the administrator mode after you
have set up the protocol and baud rate by pressing [ID] and [Off] afterwards.
5.8. DVR Protocol Setup
Under DVR mode the keyboard is set automatically to the GRUNDIG proprietary DVR protocol that should work
straight away. If you need to change the protocol or baudrate of the DVR mode, just enter the administrator mode
(the procedure is similar to the one for CAM mode).
5.9. Keyboard Setup in a GRUNDIG DVR
The Keyboard needs to be configured in theMain Menu of theDVR under Configuration > RS232. Under default
settings the baud rate is set to 9600. If you have changed the baudrate of the keyboard under DVR mode, please
adjust the DVR correspondingly.

DVR Control
The System Keyboard can take over all the functions on the front panel or the On-screen Menu of the DVR.
Therefore all the buttons that are named the same as a button on the front panel will execute the same
functionality. Please check the DVR manual for reference what these buttons do.
The Joystick will perform the Up, Down, Left & Right functionality of the direction keys and can also execute the
[Esc] and [Enter] button if you turn it counter- or clockwise.
To select a DVR, please enter the DVR mode by pressing the button [DVR]. Then select the ID of the DVR by
pressing [ID], then pressing the number and [Enter] in the end (in the table, ID+No+Enter). The ID of the DVR can
be changed in the system menu of the DVR under System> Utilitiy> Keyboard ID.
To select the Single Channel View, press the dedicated number of the channel and then press [Enter] (No+Enter,
in the table - for example, 3+Enter for Channel 3 or 1+2+Enter for channel 12).

If the Channel is a Motordome Camera, you will directly access the Pan, Tilt and Zoom functionality of the
camera, without switching to CAM mode. To get access to more functionalities, like loading presets and
sequences, you will need to switch to CAM mode by pressing the [CAM] button.

7. Camera Control
Under CAM mode you will be able to access more functions of the Motordome Camera depending of the protocol
that is used in the Motordome Camera. With GRUNDIG cameras and the PELCO-D protocol you can load Presets,
Sequences, Auto-Pans and Cruises. It is also possible to save Presets, Auto-Pans and Cruises. Of course you can
also access the OSD of the camera and do all the configuration of the Motordome Camera from remote.
If you switch from DVR mode to CAM mode, the Keyboard will set the ID of the CAM mode camera to the last
selected single channel view. If you want to change the ID of the camera, please press a number and [Enter]
afterwards (No+Enter, in the table - for example, 1+1+Enter to select the Camera with the ID 11). You can control
the PTZ function with the 3D Joystick by moving it left, right, up & down and turn the Joystick wheel counter- and
clockwise.
The following table explains how to call and save functions of the Motordome Camera connected to a GRUNDIG
DVR using the GRUNDIG Protocol.

the functions of the above table will work, only the functionalities in the table below are different.
