Security Considerations
A Multi-Media unit is working within minutes of being turned on, however there are crucial
steps to make your Rapid Eye unit a useful security tool:
• Set the time zone and time. See
stamps can make the identification of video impossible.
• Check the camera configuration. See
automatically. You need to specify the drivers for PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras.
• Test the alarms. For events set to trigger alarms, test if these events give you the
anticipated results. See
• Honeywell recommends using a system password. Without a system password, your
Rapid Eye sites can be accessed by Admin users in other organizations. To avoid this
situation, see Securing a Site
Scheduling Options
By default, video is recorded all the time and alarms can be triggered at any time. You have
the option of having cameras and alarms disabled on days and at times of your choice. To
do so, see Scheduling Configuration
Crucial Settings
Setting the Time Zone and System Clock on Multi-Media units is crucial to the correct
identification of video. These settings also govern the scheduled recording and scheduled
alarm features. Be sure to set the proper time and time zone.
Time Zone
Your Multi SA needs to indicate in which time zone each Multi-Media unit is installed. Make
this setting whether a Multi-Media unit's clock is set manually or automatically.
