APC NetBotz 750 Rack-Mount Security & Environmental Monitor

Overview

The APC NBRK0750 is a rack-mount security and environmental monitoring appliance designed to provide comprehensive real-time visibility inside and around IT racks. It combines a 4 MP HD camera with motion detection, environmental sensors, and RFID access control in a compact 1U form factor. This unit helps data center and edge network managers detect threats early and maintain uptime by monitoring conditions such as temperature, humidity, leaks, and physical access.

Key features

• 4 MP HD camera with motion detection captures detailed video even in low-light conditions, enhancing security surveillance.
• Supports up to 78 plug-and-play sensors, allowing extensive monitoring of environmental factors that could impact equipment health.
• Expandable sensor capacity through easy-to-install expansion pods, enabling the system to grow with your infrastructure.
• RFID badge reader logs access events and synchronizes them with video footage for thorough security audits and incident investigations.
• Customizable alert system sends notifications via email or SNMP traps, ensuring timely responses to environmental or security changes.
• Secure remote management using HTTPS and SSH protocols protects data and control sessions over TCP/IP networks.
• Seamless integration with third-party Building Management Systems (BMS) and Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software, preserving existing workflows while adding richer data insights.
• Compact 1U rack-mount design fits neatly into standard cabinets, optimizing space without sacrificing functionality.
