Surveillance Settings Suggestions
The Surveillance capture mode that you specify for your licensed devices can have a significant impact 
on your network traffic, device workload, and InfraStruXure Central disk usage. Therefore you should 
choose a post mode that is appropriate for the location of your devices or that is suitable for your specific 
Surveillance requirements. There are 4 post modes to choose from:
• Disabled
• Send Continuous During Alerts
• Send on Motion Detected
• Send on Motion Detected During Alerts
See the following sections for suggested post mode usage scenarios, and for additional information about 
each post mode that you may want to consider when configuring your licensed devices for use with 
Surveillance. 
Disabled
Choose Disabled mode if you need to temporarily disable Surveillance on a previously configured device 
for a non-repeating period of time. 
Disabled: Usage Examples
You could use the Disabled mode if:
• You need to temporarily disable Surveillance on a device that is installed in an equipment room 
where you will be installing new equipment.
• You intend to use Surveillance only for viewing and managing clips collected due to sensor alerts 
from APC NetBotz device alerts.
• You need Surveillance only to manually enable recording of clips (such as during a planned visit by 
outside personnel). You could leave Surveillance disabled at other times to avoid network load, 
privacy problems, and so forth. 
Send Continuous During Alerts
Choose Send Continuous During Alerts mode if you need to create a complete auditable record of all 
activity (and non-activity) that occurs in the installation area for the duration of a Camera Motion, Door, 
or Dry Contact sensor alert. 
Surveillance events created using the Send Continuous During Alerts mode do not rely on detected 
movement to determine whether an image should be captured and added to the Surveillance clip. 
Therefore, the resulting clip may be more consistent in terms of time continuity, enabling you to more 
easily judge the amount of time that passes between movement that occurs in view of the camera.
