Answering customers’ needs for better camera resolution and easy and flexible deployment options the next generation of NetBotz products delivers the following major enhancements:

Improved Camera Support - Integration of the Pelco IP camera offers a wider range of camera options. Pelco IP cameras offer superior image quality for better viewing of detail. Using CAT5 cabling, select Pelco IP cameras offer increased installation range and full integration into the NetBotz software for a seamless security and environmental monitoring user experience. Select NetBotz monitoring appliances also feature integration with Pelco’s Integral Digital Sentry® Video Monitoring to offer additional IT asset health monitoring and video aggregation. Pelco is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of video and security systems and equipment.

Better Cable Management – To reduce installation time NetBotz appliances, sensor pods and sensors employ CAT5/6 cables. The use of CAT5/6 cabling provides installation flexibility by significantly increasing the distance between the sensor pod and the appliance. USB cables for NetBotz camera pods feature locking connectors to prevent inadvertent removal of a USB connection from the appliance.

Power over Ethernet – Users now have the option of Power over Ethernet (PoE) for additional installation flexibility of wall-mounted appliances. PoE users no longer have to hide a power brick in a dropped ceiling or in the wall.

Sleek Industrial Design – NetBotz wall-mount appliances have improved cable management which provides a professional looking final installation.
