Basic View: Monitoring Your

Environment

Basic View provides an appliance monitoring interface that does not require the Advanced View

application and Java Runtime Environment. Use Basic View to view sensor readings, view camera

images, graph collected sensor data, and view active and resolved alert conditions.

Viewing sensor readings and status in Basic View

Basic View provides readings and the alert status for all sensors that are part of your NetBotz security

and environmental system. To view sensor readings, select a device that includes sensors from the

Navigation pane. The Sensor Data pane automatically updates with sensor information for the device

you selected. Any sensors with an alert status have a background color of red.

If the device has a large number of sensors, the sensors are divided into sensor sets. If the sensors are

divided into sets, you have the following options:

• To display all of the sensors for the selected device, select All Sensors from the Set drop-down

list.

• To view only the sensors in a sensor set, select the sensor set from the Set drop-down list.

Note: For an air flow sensor, data must be accumulated for 15 to 30 minutes before accurate

air flow readings are available. After power is applied to the device, air flow sensor data

appears as N/A until enough data is collected.

To view a graph of all data collected by a sensor in the last 60 minutes, click the sensor value in

the Sensor Data pane. The Action/Information pane displays a graph of the data.

If you selected an integrated camera, camera pod, or Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) adapter pod from the

Navigation pane, you can view the most recent image captured by that camera by clicking View Camera

in the Sensor Data pane. The Action/Information pane displays the selected camera pod image.

Viewing live video in Basic View

Click the Cameras button in the Action/Information pane to view live video captured by the appliance,

cameras connected to the appliance, or cameras on your network that are shared through the appliance.

Video images appear in a column. Controls are applied to the top-most camera image. Click an image to

change its position to the top. Use controls as follows.

For more information, see “Viewing Live Video” on page 22.

• To change the size of the image, from the Mode drop-down list, choose dimensions (resolution)

for the image. The dimensions 640x480, for example, mean 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high.

• To change the frame rate (that is, the frequency that the video image is updated) make a selection

from the Rate drop-down list.
