Question of the Day:

How does NetBotz Surveillance work?

NetBotz Surveillance allows a user to configure specific cameras to be in "surveillance mode". When in "surveillance mode", the camera captures and records the events and activities within the camera's range of view, and sends the images to NetBotz Central. Alerts are not generated from 'Surveillance Mode" activations, rather pictures are captured and stored for later viewing if needed. The cameras record events in an area continuously until motion in the camera's field of view stops. The events and captured video data area stored within the clip database on NetBotz Central for easy retrieval and review. For example, if 24 hours of image history is captured and being reviewed, periods of time in which there is no activity may be viewed normally, fast forwarded through, or skipped entirely during the review. The Surveillance software functions as a database that flexibly and powerfully manages, sorts, and searches the images and clips in any number of ways. Users may define search terms and qualifications to rapidly find clips by camera, date, category, priority, etc, and clips may be defined, tagged, annotated, and assigned a priority level for future review.

The NetBotz 500

The NetBotz 500 is the next-generation NetBotz monitoring appliance. The NetBotz 500's pod-based architecture gives the user tremendous flexibility and expandability. Camera pods and sensor pods can be located as far as 340 feet (104 m) from the base station, allowing coverage of multiple rooms or cabinets. And, the base station itself can be wirelessly connected to an 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN. The Camera Pod 120 boasts a surveillance-class camera and audio recording, with multiple resolutions up to 1280x1024 and frame rates as high as 30 fps. A microphone is built into the camera pod for recording audio clips associated with the picture clips-if desired, an external microphone can be used for placement closer to the sound source. The NetBotz 500 comes with a 35ºW by 28ºH C-mount lens with included CS adapter (field of view up to 64ºW x 53ºH, depending on imager mode and image resolution). Can be replaced by any standard CS- or C-mount lens. SSL encryption is standard on the NetBotz 500, providing secure transmission of alerts to prevent potential interception and misuse of camera and audio clips. Customizable thresholds and alert polices include specialized threshold types such as rate-of-change and above-value-too-long. Alerts can now include sound clips and graphs as well as pictures, and separate alert actions can be triggered at different alert severity levels.
