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.
