Before you start
Before you can control the recorder’s front panel with the
keypad, you first need to tell the keypad which devices to
control.
Every device added to the keypad must have a unique
ID. You need to tell the keypad the specific
recorder/decoder, monitor, and camera that you want to
control.
You enter the ID of the recorder or decoder (DEV), then
that of the monitor (MON), and then that of the camera
(CAM) to be controlled. This ID information is provided
by your manager.
DEV: The ID of the recorder or decoder you want to
control.
MON: This is the ID of the monitor you want to control.
CAM: This is the ID of the camera you want to control.
Important! Before you start using the keypad to control
devices, ensure that you have received from your
manager the list of device IDs that you will be using and
that they are categorized by recorder/decoder (DEV),
monitor (MON), and camera (CAM). You also should
receive the list of multiscreen (MULT) formats available
for each recorder that you can control.
Note: The text in the keypad’s LCD screen is only
available in English.
