The Dahua DHI-NKB1000-E is a desk keyboard controller with a joystick for driving PTZ cameras, standalone DVRs and network video servers. The joystick is 3-axis and vector-solving, with a twisting, return-to-centre head.
It works in two ways. In direct mode it connects over 1 RS232 or 2 RS485 interfaces, using the DH-2 protocol for DVRs and DH-SD1, PELCO-D or PELCO-P for domes. In network mode it uses its RJ-45 port and adds DVRs and network domes by IP address, port and protocol.
Preset position, auto scan, auto pan, auto tour and pattern are supported, and combination keys control split, window and channel selection. It supports up to 64 users, each with up to 256 RS485 addresses and 2048 network PTZ devices, and Dahua lists it as compatible with its DSS platform for video wall control.
Also listed as NKB1000-E.
