How can I connect an Intuikey keyboard to the Divar Network/ Hybrid 5000?
Use the keyboard connection on the back of the unit to connect a Bosch Intuikey keyboard using one of the following methods:
1. Connect using RJ11 adapter
Connect the adapter as follows:
RS-485 only on hybrid models.
2. Connect wires directly: strip the keyboard cable (or equivalent cable) to connect leads directly
For short distances (up to 30 m), standard 6-core telecom flat cable can be used to supply signal connections for the keyboard (LTC 8558/00).
Always use the Keyboard Extension Kit (LTC 8557) for distances over 30 m between the keyboard and the DVR; this kit provides junction boxes and cables.
Maximum cable length: 30 m (using standard 6-core telecom flat cable), or 1.5 km (using Belden 8760 or equivalent). The appropriate power supply (11 - 12.6 VDC, maximum 400 mA) to externally power the keyboard must be purchased separately.
RS485 port connection (only hybrid models)
Use the RS485 connector to connect Bosch, Pelco-P or Pelco-D controllable cameras to the unit for pan, tilt, and zoom control. RS485 is a single-direction protocol; the PTZ device can’t return any data to the unit.
Since RS485 is disabled by default for each camera, you must enable the PTZ settings as follows:
The Bosch protocol is supported with the following baud settings:
– 9600 baud
– 8 data bits
– 1 stop bit
– no parity
– no flow control
RS485 connector:
Max. signal voltage is -8 to +12 V. The recommended cable cross section is AWG 28-16 (0.08-1.5 mm2).

Q: Is Divar Network 5000 compatible with KBD-Digital Intuikey?
A: Divar Network 5000 was tested to work with KBD-Digital Intuikey to control the camera directly from the DVR.
Both products must be at the latest version: https://downloadstore.boschsecurity.com/index.php
On the link above, select the Firmware tab and you will find the available firmware versions for DIVARs.
Q: Which is the Baud rate that should be set when using Bosch keyboard (Intuikey series)?
A: Use the Serial port menu to configure the connections for a Console connected to the RS232 port, and an optional Bosch keyboard (Intuikey series) connected to the extra RS485 port (on DIVAR 5000 models). Configure the settings for Console or Bosch keyboard as described below.
