If additional alert-specific data such as graphs, maps, or captured images is available, it appears on the
Alert Details view as entries in additional tabs. Double-click entries on tabs to view additional data.
Note: When viewing video that was captured for an alert for a camera motion sensor, the IP
Address displayed is that of the appliance selected from the Appliance field, even if the
camera pictures are from a shared IP camera.
Saving picture sequences to your system
If an alert includes a picture sequence, you can save the picture sequence to your system as a M-JPEG
AVI or as a digitally signed M-JPEG AVI file. M-JPEG AVI files are motion picture files that can be
played using standard media player software. Signed files provide proof that the generated images have
not been tampered with or altered in any way.
To save a picture sequence as an M-JPEG AVI or as a Signed M-JPEG AVI, double-click an alert from
the Alerts view, select the Camera Pictures tab, select the picture sequence, and click View Camera
Sequence. Right-click in the camera image and select either Download AVI (Signed) or Download AVI
(Unsigned).
For information on how to verify that signed AVI files have not been tampered with, see
“Verifying Signed M-JPEG AVI Files” on page 143.
Viewing Maps
The Map View lets you create, edit, and delete user-created maps that show the location of your NetBotz
appliances, pods, and sensors. The alert state of devices on the Map View is indicated with red for an
alert and green for a normal state.
To view a map using Advanced View, click the Map View button in the Action/Information pane. The
first map stored on the appliance is displayed. If more than one map is stored on the appliance, select
additional map views from the Maps drop-down list.
To view sensor readings for a device displayed in the Map view, select the device. The Sensor Data pane
displays the reading reported by sensors associated with the selected device, and the alert status for each
sensor. If the selected device features a large number of sensors, the sensors may be divided into sensor
sets.
