Surveillance Mode
Overview
Aside from the Web Configurator in Standard mode that has a complete set of configuration for network installation, you can switch to Surveillance mode.
Surveillance mode is a set of menus specifically designed for users who are mostly using the Switch for configuring and managing PoE devices like IP cameras.
Use a browser that supports HTML5, such Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome. The recommended screen resolution is 1366 by 768 pixels.
The following sections introduces the configuration and functions of the Web Configurator In Surveillance mode.
Click Surveillance at the top left of the Web Configurator to switch between the Web Configurator’s Standard or Surveillance mode.
This section describes the screens for System Status and Neighbor Details.
What You Can Do
• Use the Summary screen (Summary) to see the Switch’s general device information, system status, and IP addresses. You can also display other status screens for more information.
• Use the Neighbor Detail screen (Neighbor Detail Screen) to view and manage Switch’s neighbor devices.
Summary
The Summary screen displays when you log into the Switch or click Summary at the top left corner of the Web Configurator. The Summary screen displays general device information, system status, connected ports, and used power for PoE devices.

Discovered Devices | This field displays the Neighbor Detail of the discovered device by clicking the link. |
Action | Click the Reset button to restart the neighbor device. A warning message “Are you sure you want to reboot the powered device?” appears prompting you to confirm the action. After confirming the action a count down button (from 5 to 0) starts. Click the Restore button to reset the neighbor device to its factory default settings. A warning message “Are you sure you want to reset the AP to factory default?” appears prompting you to confirm the action. |
Neighbor Detail Screen
The Neighbor Detail screen allows you to view and manage the Switch’s neighboring devices more conveniently. It uses Layer Link Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to discover all neighbor devices connected to the Switch including non-Zyxel devices. You can perform tasks on the neighboring devices like login, reboot (turn the power off and then back on again), and reset to factory default settings in the Neighbor Detail screen.
This screen shows the neighboring device first recognized on an Ethernet port of the Switch. Device information is displayed in gray when the neighboring device is offline.
Up to 10 neighboring device records per Ethernet port can be retained in this screen even when the devices are offline. When the maximum number of neighboring device records per Ethernet port is reached, new device records automatically overwrite existing offline device records, starting with the oldest existing offline device record first.
The following table describes the fields in this screen.
