Pod, Pelco Camera, and Rack Access PX-HID
Sharing
Pod, Pelco Camera, and Rack Access PX-HID Sharing lets you select a single appliance to monitor
remote devices distributed throughout your network. With pod sharing, the appliance connects with and
receives data—including sensor data and camera images—directly from remote devices. Pod sharing
applies to the following remote devices:
• NetBotz 570
• NetBotz 550
• NetBotz 450
• NetBotz 455
• NetBotz 355
• Rack Access PX-HID
Note: Remote devices can also include the older NetBotz appliances: NetBotz 500,
NetBotz 420, and NetBotz 320.
The following Pelco camera families are compatible by design:
• Pelco IP3701 Network cameras
• Pelco IP110 Camclosure cameras
• Pelco MiniSpectra IP cameras
• Pelco SpectraIV IP cameras
• Pelco Sarix cameras
Note: The maximum frame rate for shared IP cameras is limited to 15 frames per second.
Any remote devices that are shared appear in the Navigation pane. Pod sharing allows you to monitor
your system without having to change the selected appliance in Advanced View or having to switch to
another application.
In Advanced View, remote devices are subdivided into one or more pods to share. For example, a
NetBotz Room Monitor 455 appliance includes a built-in camera as well as sensor ports. So a
NetBotz 455 will have two pods available for sharing: an integrated camera pod and an integrated sensor
pod.
