more information, see “Installing and Configuring a CCTV
Adapter Pod 120” on page 51) and 1 Sensor Pod 120 docked
at the same time.
Up to three additional Camera Pod 120s (or CCTV
Adapter Pod 120s) can be connected to the base station
simultaneously, for a total of 4 cameras. Camera pods can be

Up to 16 additional Sensor Pod 120s can be connected to
a base station, for a total of 17 Sensor Pod 120s. Sensor Pod
120s are low-power USB devices, and can be connected
directly to any USB port, to USB extender cables, and to
powered or unpowered USB hubs.
Up to 4 Output Relay Pod 120s can be connected to the
base station, enabling you to control up to 64 relay-based
devices. Output Relay Pod 120s can be connected directly to
one of your appliance’s USB ports using a standard USB
extender cable, or connected to a powered USB hub that is
connected to the USB port.
Up to 16 Power Control Pods can be connected to the
base station, enabling you to control the power supplied to
up to 80 individual devices. Using a USB-to-serial port
