Alerts tab
The Alerts tab allows you to view the alerts reported by the sensor or camera pod you select, and the
severity you select, All by default.
Pod: Allows you to select the alerts you want to view by pod type and severity, and choose
whether to include resolved alerts.
The severity values, from most severe to least severe, are Failure, Critical, Error, Warning, and
Information.
Resolved alerts are stored on the appliance for up to 24 hours. The period of time for which
resolved alerts are available is configured using Advanced View.
Alerts: Displays the alerts reported by the devices, according to the options you select in the Pod
section. You can select an alert to display more details and
alert data, including graphs, camera
images, or maps captured when the alert occurred, as configured in the Advanced View
application.
Note: Camera capture data are a series of still images, displayed at a refresh rate you
select, in a 10-second picture sequence.
Cameras tab
The Cameras tab displays thumbnail views and identification information for all the cameras monitored
by the NetBotz appliance, and allows you to control a camera you select.
Camera: Select a camera from the list, or select a thumbnail, to see a larger view of the images, or
view All (Tiled); change the resolution and refresh rate; and, for supported pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ)
cameras, zoom and change the angle at which you want to view the images.
Resolution: Select the resolution used for the images captured by the selected camera, not
available when All (Tiled) is selected.
Refresh Rate: Select how often the images from the selected camera will automatically refresh,
for example, 1 frame/15 seconds.
Camera Controls: Select to pan and tilt to change the angle at which you want to view the
images, or zoom to view the images in more detail (available for supported PTZ cameras only).
Pods tab
The Pods tab provides a tile view of all the pods monitored by the NetBotz appliance, by pod type,
including port information. A critical or warning icon indicates the highest severity of an alert reported
by a pod.
Note: A-Link port numbers are unique identifiers; they are randomly generated, and are not
sequential.
You can select a pod to view its details, view connected sensors, and change the pod label. For pods that
support external sensors, you can select the sensor type, and port labels, when applicable.
