APC NetBotz 320 Rack Appliance NBRK0320E User Manual

To view images being captured by any integrated camera or Camera Pod 120s or CCTV Adapter Pod 
120s connected to the appliance, click on the Cameras tab in the Action/Information pane. Images for all 
integrated or connected cameras are displayed in the Cameras panel, with one camera image displayed in 
a larger, timestamped format. To switch the large format view to a different camera image, select the 
thumbnail image that you wish to view.

You can also use the Cameras panel controls to specify the mode and dimensions of the large format 
camera view, as well as the frequency with which the image is updated. 

• To specify the dimensions of the image, select from the Mode drop box the desired mode (640x480 

VGA is selected by default; other available modes are 160x120, 320x240, 800x600, 1024x768, and 
1280x1024). 

• To specify the frequency with which the image is updated, select from the Rate drop box the desired 

rate (1 frame per second is selected by default; rates are also available ranging from 1 frame every 
30 seconds to 30 frames per second depending on resolution).

To view alert conditions that are presently being reported by your appliance or any attached pods or 
sensors:

1. Select the Alerts tab from the Action/Information pane.

2. Select from the Pods drop box the appliance or the pod or other device (such as RS232-based 

sensors connected to the appliance using a USB-to-serial-port adapter) that you want to check for 
currently active alert conditions. By default, the appliance is selected.

– If you want to view currently active alert conditions on the appliance and on all connected pods, 

select All from the Pods drop box.

– If you want to view records of previously reported alert conditions that have since been resolved 

check the Include Resolved Alerts check box. Previously resolved alerts can be stored on the 
appliance for up to 24 hours. The period of time for which previously resolved alerts will be 
available on the appliance is configured using the Advanced View.

• CCTV Adapter Pod 120s support only 160x120, 320x240, and 640x480. 

Resolutions higher than 640x480 are available only from Camera Pod 120s.

• Actual frame rate available from image processor depends on the resolution 

and image quality of generated images. Maximum framerate of 30 frames per 
second is available only at Normal Quality or lower and only at resolutions up 
to 640x480. Maximum frame rate for 800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024 at 
Normal Quality or lower is 10 frames per second. If you configure the Camera 
Pod 120 to capture images in High Quality, the Maximum Frame Rate for 
some resolutions changes: At 640x480 and lower resolution the maximum 
frame rate drops from 30 frames per second to 20 frames per second. In 
800x600 the maximum frame rate is unchanged (stays at 10 frames per 
second). In 1024x768 and 1280x1024 the maximum frame rate drops from 10 
frames per second to 8 frames per second. Also, the maximum frame rate 
describes the maximum number of images that the camera imager is capable 
of producing each second. The actual frame rate that will be visible in the 
Basic View or Advanced View is largely dependent on the amount of 
available bandwidth.
