Pyramid 2 Keyboard Installation and Operating Instructions
SELECTING A CAMERA
To select a camera to view on the selected monitor:
1. Enter the number key corresponding to the camera you want to select. The number will be echoed on the LCD display.
2. Press the
Camera key.
3. The monitor will change to display video from the selected camera, and the LCD will change to reflect the camera type.
If the selected camera does not have a receiver attached, the display will resemble Figure 13a. However, if the selected
camera has a receiver attached, the display will resemble Figure 13b, and the operator will also have Pan, Tilt, Zoom
( PTZ ) control of the camera.

Notes
• Figure 13b shows the PTZ Camera Control screen for basic users. Operators with higher privilege levels will see a
screen with more controls. See Figure 19 on page 17 for an example.
• The Increment/Decrement Camera key can be used to move between the cameras one by one, but this operation
does not assume control of the camera. To assume control of the camera, the number keys and Camera key have to be
used.
• If a camera with a receiver is to be selected, but control of the camera is not required, enter a zero in front of the camera
number. This is useful when a second operator wishes to look at an incident being monitored and controlled by another
operator. To resume control of the camera, enter the camera number without the zero.
CONTROLLING PAN, TILT, FOCUS, IRIS AND ZOOM FUNCTIONS
If a camera with a receiver is selected, the operator can control the camera manually using the Pyramid 2 Keyboard:
1. Use the joystick to pan, tilt and zoom the selected camera. Twist the top of the joystick clockwise to zoom in, anticlockwise
to zoom out.
2. Use the Focus key to focus the selected camera.
3. Use the Iris keys to open and close the iris on the selected camera. This facility may not be available if auto-iris lenses
are used.
