Rapid Eye Storage Estimator
To make storage estimates using more parameters (scheduling, audio, motion and so on),
Honeywell's Rapid Eye Storage Estimator
page 134 for more information.
To optimize the many setup options quickly, use the
Performance. Performance maximization can be performed using View software or
LocalView. The Quality settings are not affected by it. The result of maximizing performance
is shown on the Recording and Video tabs.
Preparation: Contiguous Connections
For optimizing the digital signal processing (DSP) of video and its storage, an installer
needs to make camera connections contiguous, on the back of a unit. Connections are
contiguous if they start at camera VIDEO INPUT 1 and continue sequentially. For example,
connecting three cameras to inputs: #1, #2 and #3 is contiguous; connecting the cameras
to inputs: #1, #3 and #4 is not; nor would using inputs: #2, #3 and #4.
Gauging the Processing Load
The load on the DSP is reported on the DSP Bandwidth Utilization gauges and are updated
as you use the Recording tab to customize the settings of recorded video (see
