Introduction
Product overview
The TruVision TVK-600 keypad lets you communicate using RS-485 or IP with
TruVision recorders, decoders, encoders and PTZ domes. You can easily control the
devices.
The keypad is easily configured and operated through the web browser.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the
unit is well ventilated.
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °F)
and noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation
location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits
may reduce the life expectancy of the recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other
hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted DVR units.
Moisture: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal
components. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture.
Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the
unit.

Getting started
Use the web browser to access and configure the keypad over the network.
Checking your web browser security level
When using the web browser interface, you can install ActiveX controls to connect and
view video using Internet Explorer (the keypad is not compatible with Microsoft Edge).
However, you may not be able to download data, such as video and images, due to the
browser’s security settings. Consequently you should check the security level of your
browser so that you are able to interact with the cameras over the web and, if
necessary, modify the Active X settings.
Configuring IE ActiveX controls
You should confirm the ActiveX settings of your web browser.
To change the web browser’s security level:
1. In Internet Explorer (IE) click Internet Options on the Tools menu.
2. On the Security tab, click the zone to which you want to assign a web site under
“Select a zone to view or change security settings”.
3. Click Custom Level.
4. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-in options that are signed or marked as
safe to Enable. Change the ActiveX controls and plug-ins options that are
unsigned to Prompt or Disable. Click OK.

provided.
A message will appear on-screen when the unit has been activated.
Tips on creating a strong password:
A valid password range must have up to eight characters. You can use a
combination of numbers, and lower and upper case letters. No special characters or
spaces are permitted. The password must contain characters from at least two of
these groups.
The password is case-sensitive so use a mixture of upper and lower case letters.
Do not use personal information or common words as a password.
Note: If you should forget your admin password, please contact Technical Support to
reactivate the unit with a new password.

Device management using the browser
The Device Management menu describes how you can add, modify, or delete a device
using the browser. You can also search for online devices.
This menu is only available to the administrator.
Add, edit or delete a device
You can add, edit and delete IP dome cameras, DVR/NVRs, an encoder, and a
decoder. You can also search the network for devices to add.
The devices connected to the keypad do not support all four keypad modes. See
Table 7 on page 46 for the list of supported devices by keypad mode.
Before you use the keypad, you must first add the desired devices that you want to
control with it. Once you have created the devices under Device Management > Device
List, you can then go to the Input Channel and Output Channel menus to make any
changes to the devices.
Note: It is important that you keep a back up file of the devices you add to the keypad.
We recommend that you create a backup file in Excel format after adding a couple of
devices and export the file as a template. See “Import/export an input device list” on
page 16 for further information.
Channel and device ID
Every device added to the keypad is automatically allocated a unique ID by the system.
Cameras get an input channel ID. Recorders and decoders get a device ID. The ID is
allocated a number in the order in which the device is added to the keypad, irrespective
if it is a camera, recorder or decoder. For example, if you add two recorders to the
keypad, they will be allocated the device IDs 1 and 2. If you then add a decoder, it will
get device ID 3. If you then add a third recorder, it is device ID 4.
You can easily change the ID number under Edit in the Device Management menu.
Before changing the ID numbers of devices, you should first export to an Excel file the
list of devices configured in the keypad so that you can see what camera has been
allocated which ID number. It is not possible to export a list of the recorders, decoders
or monitor IDs. To find their IDs, you need to look at the Device Management screens
for these devices.
For further information on channel and device IDs and how they are used, see “How to
use device and camera IDs” on page 31.
