Network PTZ Keyboard Controller with Joystick for IP Cameras and NVRs

The KB110E is a professional NDAA compliant PTZ keyboard controller designed for direct control of PTZ cameras and NVR systems. It connects over a standard RJ45 Ethernet network and provides a more precise alternative to mouse-based PTZ control, allowing operators to smoothly manage pan, tilt, zoom, and focus from a dedicated desktop controller.

This controller is built for real-world surveillance use where quick response and smooth camera movement matter. With a 4D joystick, dedicated control buttons, and a built-in 4-inch display, it provides a more precise and natural way to operate PTZ cameras in active monitoring environments.

Important: This PTZ controller is designed to work with AvaEye cameras and systems. For compatibility with your system, please contact us or submit a product question.

Why Use a PTZ Keyboard Instead of a Mouse

PTZ cameras can be controlled through software, but using a mouse is often slower and less precise. A PTZ joystick controller allows for smoother movement and better speed control, especially when tracking people or vehicles in real time.

Using the joystick for smooth, real-time PTZ camera control on an NVR system

With the KB110E, operators can move the camera, adjust zoom, and fine-tune positioning at the same time. This makes a noticeable difference in environments where cameras are actively monitored rather than left on fixed views.

4D Joystick for Real-Time Camera Control

The built-in joystick gives operators direct, hands-on control of camera movement. It allows for both slow adjustments and fast repositioning without switching tools or menus. This is especially useful in situations where quick reaction time is important.

Built-In Display and Physical Controls

The integrated 4-inch screen provides quick access to system status and menu options. Combined with physical buttons, the controller offers a simple and reliable interface that does not depend on a browser or software dashboard for basic operation.

Installation and System Integration

The KB110E is designed for desktop use in control rooms, security offices, and monitoring stations. Its compact size makes it easy to place next to an NVR or workstation.

It connects directly to your network and works within IP camera systems and NVR systems. For best performance, install the controller on the same network as your AvaEye cameras and recorder.

RS232 and RS485 ports are also included for select legacy or hybrid setups.

Who This PTZ Controller Is For

This PTZ keyboard controller is ideal for professional surveillance environments where cameras are actively controlled throughout the day. It is a strong fit for businesses, schools, warehouses, and commercial properties that rely on responsive camera control.

If you only adjust cameras occasionally, software may be enough. If you need consistent, real-time control, a dedicated PTZ controller like the KB110E provides a better experience.
