AD2089 Keyboard Controller

About the AD2089 Keyboard Controller

This chapter describes the features of the AD2089 keyboard. It also describes the location and function of the keyboard's front panel components.

AD2089 Features

The AD2089 video control station is fully compatible with the American Dynamics MegaPower CPU and MegaPower 1024 when used in conjunction with Network Client 4.04 (or later) and Intellex DVMS or Ultra digital video recorders.

Note

In addition to controlling the matrix switchers through Network Client, the AD2089 will work directly with the MegaPower 48, MegaPower 168, and MegaPower 1024 matrix switcher/controller systems but will not support the AD2089 DVMS functions.

The AD2089 enables the user to view and control cameras and video recorders at local and remote facilities, and to control auxiliary devices such as door locks and lights. Additionally, the operator can acknowledge alarms with the unit. The aforementioned functions are accomplished in the keyboard’s Operate Mode. Operators with key privileges can also perform programming functions with the AD2089. These functions include programming of presets (targets), patterns, scratchpad tours, and macros. Macros are user programmed functions made up of as many as 21 keystrokes that are executed with a single keystroke. Operators can also arm and disarm monitors for display of system alarms. These functions are accomplished in the Program Mode. Menu programming enables operators to set up the parameters of American Dynamics switching systems. System setup is accomplished in the Menu Mode.

A summary listing of AD2089 features follows:

site ID - selects a site for satellite switching

monitor/camera selection - provides selection for viewing and control

pan/tilt and lens control - pan, tilt, and zoom control through joystick positioning. Focus and iris adjustments through lens control keys

video recorder control and operation – enables selection of video recorders and execution of the following functions: Play, Stop, Fast-Forward, Rewind, Record, Pause, and Eject

macro key programming and operation – up to 1000 macros divided among eight macro keys enable multi-step operation with a single keystroke

AD2089 specifications

The American Dynamics AD2089 is a cutting-edge surveillance camera designed for versatile security applications. Integrating advanced technology and user-friendly features, it stands out as an ideal choice for monitoring both indoor and outdoor environments.

One of the principal features of the AD2089 is its high-resolution imaging capability. It supports up to 1080p full HD video, ensuring that the captured footage is clear and detailed, which is crucial for effective surveillance. The camera is equipped with a 2.8 to 12mm varifocal lens, offering adjustable focal lengths that allow users to customize the field of view according to their specific monitoring needs. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in dynamic environments where the focus may shift frequently.

Another significant characteristic of the AD2089 is its robust low-light performance, thanks to its advanced infrared (IR) capabilities. The camera can function effectively in total darkness, providing night vision support that captures clear images even in minimal lighting conditions. This feature enhances overall security, especially during nighttime when criminal activity is more likely to occur.

The AD2089 also incorporates intelligent video analytics (IVA), enabling real-time analysis of the surveillance footage. This includes features such as motion detection, intrusion detection, and line crossing alarms. By leveraging these analytical capabilities, users can receive timely alerts and have the ability to react quickly to potential security breaches or suspicious activities.

In terms of installation and integration, the AD2089 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. This simplifies wiring requirements by allowing power and data to be transmitted through a single Ethernet cable, thereby reducing installation costs and efforts. Additionally, the camera is designed to be weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor deployment in various environmental conditions.

Furthermore, the AD2089 is equipped with secure data storage options, supporting both local and cloud-based recordings. This ensures that footage is safely archived and easily retrievable, which is essential for any security operation. With features like remote access through mobile devices and a user-friendly interface, the American Dynamics AD2089 stands out as a reliable and powerful surveillance solution, catering to the diverse needs of modern security systems.
