Overview
Pick-a-Point is a dedicated IP keyboard solution
with joystick control that is designed to replicate the
traditional analogue matrix, offering digital reliability
and retrieval speed. Integration with existing analogue
systems is seamless, giving the station control over all
servers, domes, DVR’s and cameras.
It can operate as an additional control point on an
existing Pick-a-Point system, or work standalone to
provide composite viewing and control of any Dedicated
Micros NetVu Connected Server, DVR or IP Camera.
The keyboard and joystick control offer a familiar
environment for operators, eliminating the retraining
requirement associated with PC based systems. The
integrated touch screen keyboard provides intuitive
camera selection and joystick telemetry control,
removing the need for a QWERTY keyboard.
The powerful graphical user interface allows quick
navigation of the menus and access to sites. Operators
can simply pick and click cameras to view the required
images. The bespoke system, with customer specific
maps installed, is designed as a turnkey solution to
meet the exact operational requirements.
The system is configured and commissioned on site by a Dedicated Micros technician or appointed individual.
Custom maps are added to suit the users requirements, offering a graphical representation of the sites being
monitored. Camera icons and hotspots included in the map aid the operators, by simplifying camera selection
and system navigation.
Combined with Dedicated Micros’ world leading NetVu Connected technology, the Pick-a-Point system offers a
powerful networked monitoring solution.
More information is available from the Dedicated Micros Website.
