The Administration of a Rapid Eye System
About Using LocalView Onsite
Interface for operating one Rapid Eye unit
Configuration made using LocalView applies only to the unit on which it is running. To find out
how to use LocalView, the interface offers a context-sensitive Help system.
Network connection
If a unit is inserted in a common network, LocalView may be needed by installers, to enter the
unit's IP address. To do so, a Quick Install wizard is available when using LocalView. See the
Multi-Media DSP Unit: Quick Install broadsheet, K14355.
Watching your back
You have the option of preventing the unauthorized use of LocalView by locking the interface,
using passwords for LocalView.

Help is needed. See

For Unit Operators: View Software Only
Personnel who operate Multi-Media DSP units—to monitor video, respond to alarms, make video
