Vaddio 998-2102-000 – IR Remote Commander with Audio Controls

Product Overview

The Vaddio IR Remote Commander with Audio Controls (998-2102-000) is a handheld infrared remote that provides direct, cable-free control of Vaddio cameras and compatible audio systems from anywhere within the room. It combines camera pan, tilt, zoom, and preset recall functions with audio volume and mute controls on a single device, making it practical for rooms where a dedicated control system or touch panel is not installed. The remote is well-suited for smaller conference rooms, training spaces, and huddle rooms where simplicity and immediate operator control are priorities.

Product Description

The Vaddio IR Remote Commander 998-2102-000 gives operators direct handheld control over Vaddio PTZ cameras and connected audio equipment without requiring a room control system, network connection, or software interface. In commercial AV installations where the budget or room layout does not support a dedicated control panel, this IR remote provides a professional, purpose-built alternative to generic third-party remotes or software-based control applications.

Camera control functions include pan left/right, tilt up/down, zoom in/out, and recall of up to twelve stored position presets — the same presets configured through the camera's web interface or control system. Audio controls include volume increment/decrement and a dedicated mute toggle for Vaddio-compatible audio systems. The combination of camera and audio controls on one device reduces the number of remotes an operator must manage during a meeting or presentation.

The infrared communication protocol is compatible with Vaddio cameras that include an IR receiver, which covers the majority of Vaddio's PTZ product line including RoboSHOT, ProductionVIEW, and legacy wide-angle cameras. The remote operates on standard AAA batteries and requires a clear line of sight to the camera's IR window for reliable command transmission. For AV integrators specifying Vaddio systems in smaller rooms without Crestron or AMX control, the 998-2102-000 is a cost-effective, field-ready control solution.
