APC NBRK0570, NBRK0550, NBRK0450 manual To designate shared sensor pods

The maximum number of shared pods that an appliance can manage depends on the appliance.

Appliance	Shared Pod Capability
NetBotz 570 and 550	Can host up to 16 shared pods. The total shared pods can be physically
	connected to or integrated with up to eight NetBotz appliances. Up to
	four of the shared pods can be camera pods. Can host the Rack Access
	PX-HID.
NetBotz 455	Can host up to eight shared pods. Up to two of the shared pods can be
	camera pods. Can host the Rack Access PX-HID.
NetBotz 450	Can only host the Rack Access PX-HID.
NetBotz 355	Does not have pod sharing capabilities.

Shared pods are designated using the Pod, Pelco Camera, and Rack Access PX-HID Sharing icon in the Appliance Settings area of the Configuration view. Once pods are shared, they appear in the Navigation pane, and icons appear in the Pod/Sensor Settings area of the Configuration view. Shared pods are configured in the same manner as sensor pods and camera pods that are integrated with or connected to the appliance.

The image timestamp on a shared camera pod is determined by the appliance where the pod is connected.

Note: To configure the Image Quality setting on a shared camera pod, you must use Advanced View to connect directly to the appliance where the pod is located and change the setting.

For more information on configuring shared pods, see “Sensor Pods” on page 68 and “Camera Pods” on page 36.
