Controlling Access with Partitions
Partitions control user access to cameras, monitors, keyboards, and satellite sites. You can partition cameras to monitors, keyboards to cameras, keyboards to monitors, keyboards to satellite sites, and monitors to cameras (Figure 109). The default setting is “no partitions.”
Partitioning provides the following capabilities:
•Camera to Monitor Access – Limits displaying selected camera video on specified monitors.
•Keyboard to Camera Control Access – Limits selected keyboards from controlling functions on selected cameras; for example, pan/tilt/zoom, and auxiliaries.
•Keyboard to Camera View Access – Limits selected keyboards from calling up selected cameras for viewing and from directly accessing video trunk inputs in a satellite network.
•Keyboard to Monitor Access – Limits selected keyboards from accessing selected monitors and from accessing video trunk outputs in a satellite network.
•Keyboard to Satellite Site Access – Limits selected local keyboards from accessing all cameras at selected satellite sites.
•Monitor to Camera Access– Limits selected monitors displaying video from specified camera inputs.
