Caution If you experience system lockup in this situation, Honeywell recommends
disabling use of dual-CPUs for Multi-Media software.
Normal operation of View can reveal weaknesses in the position of cameras. Video
surveillance can be hampered by:
• Blind spots. Mobile equipment blocking a camera (such as vehicle docking,
renovation work, and so on).
• Environmental lighting. A camera can be rendered ineffective by direct sunlight,
artificial lighting or darkness.
• Environmental conditions. Condensation, excessive heat or cold, even a dirty
camera lens, due to dust or grease can build up over time and require onsite
maintenance.
Use of cameras that can pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) is optional. Your Multi-Media System
Administrator (Multi SA) can inform you if PTZ cameras are connected to a Multi-Media unit.
Recording Video and Using PTZ
Moving a camera affects the video being recorded by your Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit.
Before a View Operator Can Use a PTZ Camera
Your Multi SA has to:
• Add the Use PTZ right to a View operator account.
• Grant access to the site(s) assigned to operator(s) by their supervisors.
Selecting a PTZ Camera Window
A camera window for a PTZ camera has [PTZ] added in the window's title bar, when
running a live session (see Figure 2-14 on page 43).
