Introduction

The Schneider Electric NetBotz® Web Client and Advanced View each provide a software interface for monitoring and controlling your NetBotz security and environmental monitoring system with the following NetBotz appliances:

NetBotz Rack Monitor 450, NetBotz Rack Monitor 550, NetBotz Rack Monitor 570, NetBotz Room Monitor 455, and NetBotz Room Monitor 355.

You use the Web Client interface primarily to monitor the environment. You use the full-featured Advanced View to monitor the environment and for system administration. This NetBotz Appliance User’s Guide explains how to use both the Web Client and Advanced View.

System Definition

Your NetBotz security and environmental monitoring system may consist of one or more appliances. When using the Web Client or Advanced View, you select one appliance on which to view sensor readings, live video, and associated devices. Devices associated with the appliance are typically NetBotz camera or sensor pods connected to the appliance, or supported third-party cameras or other supported devices that have security and environmental monitoring capabilities.

Basic Concepts and Terminology

Sensor pod and camera pod. The terms Sensor Pod and Camera Pod are commonly used in both the Web Client and Advanced View. These terms refer to the two categories of devices that make up your NetBotz security and environmental monitoring system. Sensor pods typically have multiple internal sensors or sensor ports for connecting APC or third-party sensors. The NetBotz product line consists of various sensor pods and camera pods, but in the Web Client and the Advanced View software interface, references to pods goes beyond the NetBotz products to include other devices, such as Pelco IP cameras and the Rack Access PX-HID. In addition, the functionality of NetBotz appliances is divided into sensor pod functionality and camera pod functionality and is initially labeled in the Web Client and Advanced View as Sensor Pod (Integrated) and Camera Pod (Integrated).

Shared devices. Depending on the hardware and software that you purchased for use with your NetBotz security and environmental monitoring system, you may be able to monitor remote devices on your network (for example, Pelco IP cameras, the Rack Access PX-HID, and NetBotz appliances) from one screen in Advanced View or the Web Client. This feature is called Pod Sharing. If you use Pod Sharing, remote devices are initially labeled as Shared.

For additional details on shared devices, see “Pod, Pelco Camera, and Rack Access PX-HID Sharing” on page 93.
