2NetBotz Appliance User’s Guide

Introduction

The American Power Conversion (APC

) NetBotz

Basic View and Advanced View each provide a

software interface for monitoring and controlling your NetBotz security and environmental monitoring

system. Basic View and Advanced View are used in conjunction with the following NetBotz appliances:

NetBotz Rack Monitor 450, NetBotz Rack Monitor 550, NetBotz Room Monitor 455, and NetBotz

Room Monitor 355. Basic View is a Web-based software interface used primarily for monitoring the

environment. Advanced View is the full-feature software application used for monitoring the

environment and for system administration. The NetBotz Appliance User’s Guide explains how use both

Basic View and Advanced View.

System Definition

Your NetBotz security and environmental monitoring system may consist of one or more appliances.

When using Basic View or Advanced View, you first select one appliance and then view sensor readings

and live video for that appliance and devices associated with that appliance. Devices associated with the

appliance are typically NetBotz camera or sensor pods connected to the appliance, but could also be

third-party cameras or other devices compatible with the appliance that have security and environmental

monitoring capabilities.

Basic Concepts and Terminology

Sensor pod and camera pod. The terms Sensor Pod and Camera Pod are commonly used in both

Basic View and Advanced View. These terms refer to the two categories of devices that make up your

NetBotz security and environmental monitoring system. Sensor pods typically have multiple internal

sensors or sensor ports for connecting APC or third-party sensors of your choosing. The NetBotz product

line consists of various sensor pods and camera pods, but in the Basic View and Advanced View

software interfaces, references to pods goes beyond the NetBotz products to include other devices, such

as Pelco IP cameras and the Rack Access PX-HID. In addition, the functionality of NetBotz appliances is

divided into sensor pod functionality and camera pod functionality and is initially labeled in Basic View

and Advanced View as Sensor Pod (Integrated) and Camera Pod (Integrated).

Shared devices. Depending on the hardware and software that you purchased for use with your

NetBotz security and environmental monitoring system, you may be able to monitor remote devices on

your network (for example, Pelco IP cameras, the Rack Access PX-HID, and NetBotz appliances) from

one screen in Advanced View or Basic View. This feature is called Pod Sharing. If you use Pod Sharing,

remote devices are initially labeled as Shared.

For additional details on shared devices, see “Pod Sharing” on page 82.
