number. This function is only applicable if enabled by
the system administrator (via the MCS package), and
may not function if the monitor is running a sequence,
and/or in an alarm condition.

The keyboard default mode is the camera mode, so enter
a camera number for viewing, and press ENTER.
If the Allegiant is configured to operate in "6-digit
Camera ID" mode, up to 6 digits can be entered. If the
new camera is at the same "site" as the current camera,
simply enter 1 to 4 camera number digits.
If the desired camera is at a different "site", 5 or 6 digits
must be entered. The first and second digits would be
the site number and the remaining 4 digits, including any
leading zeros would be the camera number at that site.

Controlling Camera Movement

5.4.1 General
Camera positioning is controlled via an eight-way joystick
on the right-hand side of the keyboard. This joystick
moves the camera pan/tilt, (if equipped), up, down, left,
right, or diagonally. Rotate the joystick knob to control
the zoom lens in or out.
Bosch Security Systems | March 17, 2009
Moving the joystick up and to the right, simultaneously,
moves the camera in a diagonal direction. Rotating the
ZOOM control knob causes the lens to either zoom in or
out. The direction of its response depends on the
camera/lens model, and certain system configuration
settings determined at installation.
Up to four pan/tilt/zoom commands may be sent to a
remote camera site at a time (Example - Zoom In, Focus
Far, Pan Left, and Tilt Down). The three zoom lens
functions can also be sent simultaneously (Example -
Zoom Out, Focus Near, Iris Open).
5.4.2 Focus and Iris Lens Control
The lens control buttons are on the right-hand side of the
keyboard. The camera's zoom lens, if equipped, can be
controlled to focus near or far, and open or close the iris
(if the lens supports manual iris operation).
5.4.3 Lock or Unlock Control of a Camera
When using IntuiKey keyboards, press Device Lockout,
located on the main Allegiant menu, to enter a menu
screen for these options.
With LTC 8555 Series Keyboards, press Lock, then ON
to lock a camera, or OFF to unlock a camera. If the
camera to be locked is not the one currently being
viewed, enter the camera number via the numeric
keyboard (but do not press ENTER) before pressing
Lock.
If the Status option is enabled, the section of the on-
screen overlay between the camera number and the time
shows , indicating the camera is locked. Activating a
R L
camera lock immediately prevents other operators (unless
they have a higher priority) from controlling the locked
pan/tilt/zoom camera. Remember to unlock the camera
when finished so other operators can access it.
5.4.4 Lock or Unlock Control of a Monitor
When using IntuiKey keyboards, press Device Lockout,
located on the main Allegiant menu, to enter a menu
screen with these options.
