Surveillance page

The tablet/smartphone needs internet-access to retrieve the images.

The page 'Surveillance' is used to view the images recorded by the robot while the robot was executing the Motion detection-block in a composition.

Only the images uploaded to the cloud will be shown in this page.

These images are stored on a server from ZoraBots and are only accessible if the correct serial number has been entered when connecting to the robot.

The serial number for the robot will be entered automatically when connecting ZBOS Control to an up-to-date robot.

  • When scanning the QR-code of the robot in ZBOS Control, the serial number will have been entered correctly in the settings of ZBOS Control.

  • The setting Upload must be enabled in the Motion Detection block of the composer to upload the image to the ZoraBots server (and therefore be shown in the surveillance-page).

  • The images stored can be removed at any time by the user.

Tap the option Surveillance in the menu for ZBOS Control to open the page:

TapMenuSurveillance

The following page is shown:

  1. Set the time frame for the images and/or the displayed order of the images

  2. Tap one of the images to view more details

The default timeslot is set to one week (from 'today').

Details of the security-images

The list of images for the set time range is shown in the main window:

ImageList

The image is split in two parts:

ImageExplanation

On the left side of the image, the image is shown before motion was detected, while the right side of the image shows the main camera-feed at the time the image was uploaded.

The list of images is not updated when new images are taken, meaning if the timeslot includes 'now', the page needs to be reloaded for the image to be displayed in the list. To manually update the list, please

  • Navigate to a different page in ZBOS Control and return to the Surveillance page

  • Select a different start-time to retrieve the latest list of images from the server.
