Features
Hikvision DS-1100KI Network Keyboard for CCTV Control
The DS-1100KI is designed to simplify daily surveillance operations by placing commonly used controls within easy reach. Operators can quickly move between the previous and next cameras, preview network video and control compatible surveillance equipment without relying entirely on a computer mouse and keyboard.
It can work with a range of surveillance equipment, including DVRs, DVS devices, network cameras, network domes, matrix systems and PC-based DVR solutions. Devices can be added through SDK or ONVIF protocols, making the keyboard suitable for a variety of network video installations.
Video Wall and Surveillance Management
For installations using a video wall, the DS-1100KI provides tools for managing individual display regions and windows. Operators can open or close windows, reposition them, resize them and adjust sub-window layouts directly from the network keyboard.
The keyboard can also play decoder video on a video wall and provide local camera preview on its touchscreen. This makes it useful for control rooms where operators need to monitor multiple sources while maintaining direct control over display layouts.
Touchscreen and Joystick Control
The integrated 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen provides a convenient interface for live monitoring and playback. With a 1024 x 600 display resolution, it gives operators a dedicated screen for accessing surveillance video and control functions.
The 4D joystick is designed for intuitive PTZ and speed dome operation, allowing operators to control compatible cameras with precise directional movement. The touchscreen can also be used for viewing live video and playback content at up to 1080p resolution.
