Right to Access a Site

Defining the Sites that Can Be Accessed

200
Each function of View (excluding Maintenance) is subject to one of five rights. The most
important rights for system security are marked with an asterisk (*).
• Live video. The right to obtain a live video feed from cameras at a site. This is a Multi
system's fundamental purpose. All Multi user accounts usually have this right. The
amount of cameras that a user can access may be limited (see
Cameras and Other Devices by Partitioning
• Retrieve video. The right to search for and obtain recorded video feeds. This right
also grants use of the Search for Events feature.
• Audio, listen. The right to monitor audio through a site's audio hardware.
• Audio, talk. The right to broadcast audio through a site's audio hardware.
• Use PTZ. The right to operate the pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) commands on cameras
that have this capability, during a Live Session. Use of this right requires the user to
have the right to View Live Video.
• * Use outputs. The right to operate outputs (for controlling gates, lights and other
facilities) during a Live Session. Use of this right requires the user to have the right to
View Live Video.
• * Process alarms. The right to respond to alarms, using an alarm session to
acknowledge and to reset alarms.
• Time limit. The right to make use of sites, but for a limited amount of time.
Why limit the use of View?
This depends on your organization's security protocols. Perhaps some operators
should only be allowed to monitor live video and not to view recorded video?
A user account grants site access to either all sites or a subset of the sites in your Rapid
Eye system. Rights to access sites can be modified, as explained in the next procedure.
