AXIS TU9001 Control Board — Joystick and Keypad for AXIS Camera Station
Joystick + keypad setUSB poweredAXIS Camera Station / partner VMS5-year Axis warranty
The AXIS TU9001 Control Board is an ergonomic operator control set for video surveillance, combining the AXIS TU9002 Joystick and the AXIS TU9003 Keypad. It is made for control rooms and security desks that run AXIS Camera Station and need fast, precise control of PTZ cameras and video views without reaching for the mouse.
The 3-axis Hall-effect joystick handles pan/tilt and twist-to-zoom, and its toggle key switches between joystick and jog-dial mode for scrubbing through recordings. The keypad adds 26 customizable keys and a 2 × 20 character display. Both units are powered over USB and connect to the PC with a single cable — the joystick acts as a USB hub for the keypad.
Before you order: Requires a Windows PC running AXIS Camera Station 5.54 or later, AXIS Camera Station Pro, or a compatible partner VMS. No macOS or Linux support is listed, and the board does not connect to cameras directly.
What's in the Box
- AXIS TU9002 Joystick
- AXIS TU9003 Keypad with bracket
- USB cable 200 cm (USB-A to PC, USB-C to joystick)
- USB cable 50 cm (joystick USB-A to keypad USB-C)

What It Means in Practice
- Operators can pan, tilt and zoom PTZ cameras with one hand while switching camera views and presets with the other.
- Jog-dial mode makes it quick to scrub through recorded video during an incident review.
- Keys are customizable, so common actions (presets, views, bookmarks, exports) can sit on dedicated buttons.
- Only one USB port is needed on the PC: the keypad connects through the joystick's USB-A port.
- The top surfaces are IP54-rated against dust and splashes, suited to busy security desks.
What Will Not Work
- Not a standalone controller — it needs a PC with a supported VMS.
- No network, serial (RS-485) or analog PTZ control output — it cannot drive cameras directly.
- No macOS or Linux support listed by Axis.
- Not compatible with VMS software that does not support Axis joysticks.
