A Multi-Media unit is working within minutes of being turned on, however there are crucial
steps to make your Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit a useful security tool:

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 Multi-Media sites can be accessed by Admin users in other organizations.
