Installing the CCTV Adapter Pod 120
To install your pod, simply connect your video source to the appropriate DIN, BNC, or RCA
video input jack on the pod. Then, use the USB cable to connect your pod to your NetBotz
500 or 420 appliance, or to a USB hub that is connected to the NetBotz appliance. To reduce
radio frequency noise and emissions from the USB cable, clamp one clamp-on ferrite onto
the USB cable within 2-3 inches of the end that connects to the pod, and the second clamp-on
ferrite onto the USB cable within 2-3 inches of the end that connects to your NetBotz
appliance or to the USB hub.
Configuring the CCTV Adapter Pod 120
Once you have connected your CCTV Adapter Pod and video source to your NetBotz
appliance, you will need to use the Advanced View to configure the pod.
To configure your pod:
1. Start the Advanced View and then select from the Appliance drop-box the IP address of the NetBotz
appliance to which you have connected the CCTV Adapter Pod. Be sure to log into the appliance using a
user account that has administrator privileges. Once you have logged in, confirm that the newly
connected CCTV Adapter Pod appears in the Navigation Pane. The default label for CCTV Camera Pod
120s is CCTV Video Pod serial, where serial is the serial number of the pod.
2. Select the Configuration button and then double-click on the Camera Pods icon (located in the Pod/
Sensor Settings portion of the Configuration pane).
3. Select from the Camera Pod Configuration pane the entry that corresponds to the CCTV Adapter Pod and
then click Capture.
4. The Camera Capture Settings window opens. In addition to the fields that are typically available when
using this window to configure Camera Pod 120s, one additional control is available when configuring a
CCTV Adapter Pod:
– Video Format: Used to specify the format in which video is transmitted by the video source. Available
selections include: NTSC-M, NTSC-Japan, PAL-B, PAL-D, PAL-G, PAL-H, PAL-I, PAL-M, PAL-N
Combination, and SECAM.
5. Use the controls in the Camera Capture Settings window to configure the camera and image capture
settings for use with the pod. To see an example of an image capture using the currently selected Video
Format, Brightness, Contrast, and Image Quality settings click Apply and the sample image in the
Capture window will be updated using the new values. When you are finished, click OK and any changes
you have made will be saved to the appliance.
Note
The NetBotz appliance to which the CCTV Adapter Pod will be connected must
be running BotzWare 2.1 or later, and the Advanced View interface that will be
used to configure the pod must also be 2.1 or later. Before continuing, please use
the Advanced View Upgrade task to download and install the latest available
applications from NetBotz.
