Installing Hardware Options
Due to bandwidth requirements, you should avoid
connecting more than one Camera Pod 120 or CCTV
Adapter Pod 120 to a single USB Port. Connecting multiple
Camera Pod 120s or CCTV Adapter Pod 120s to a single
USB port will dramatically lower the maximum frame rate
available from all cameras sharing the port. For best
performance, NetBotz recommends that you connect only a
single Camera Pod 120 or CCTV Adapter Pod 120 to each
USB port.
USB Ports A and B share bandwidth. Connecting Camera
Pod 120s or CCTV Adapter Pod 120s to both USB Ports A
and B will dramatically lower the maximum frame rate
available from both cameras. For maximum performance,
connect only one Camera Pod 120 or CCTV Adapter Pod
120 to USB Port A or USB Port B. Note that USB Ports C
and D do
not share bandwidth: You can connect one Camera
Pod 120 or CCTV Adapter Pod 120 to each of these ports
without impacting their performance.
Installing and Configuring a CCTV
Adapter Pod 120
To install a CCTV Adapter Pod 120, 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
WallBotz 500 base station, or to a USB hub that is connected to
the WallBotz 500 base station. 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 WallBotz 500
or to the USB hub.
Once you have connected your CCTV Adapter Pod 120 and
video source to your WallBotz 500 base station, you will need to
use the Advanced View to configure the pod.
Note: The WallBotz 500 to which the CCTV Adapter Pod 120 will be
connected must be running BotzWare 2.1 or later, and the
Advanced View interface that will be used to configure the pod
