DS-1600KI_C

The higher-capacity Hikvision network keyboard

The Hikvision DS-1600KI_C is the higher-capacity sibling of the DS-1200KI_C network keyboard. Same network-based connectivity to Hikvision NVRs, DVRs, and PTZ cameras, with broader site capability: more programmable function keys, expanded multi-monitor support, refined joystick precision, and more capable macro functionality for complex operational workflows.

The right call for very large CCTV operations: estate security command centres covering hundreds of cameras, industrial site control rooms with multi-area patrol responsibilities, and hospitality venue security operations with multiple shift teams sharing a single console.

• Refined 4-axis joystick with precision PTZ control and tunable speed curves.
• Expanded preset recall for larger camera fleets.
• Broader programmable function keys for complex site workflows.
• Expanded multi-monitor switching for larger control room layouts.
• Macro functionality for multi-step operational sequences.
• Network-based connectivity across very large Hikvision installations.
