Rapid Eye central database
A Rapid Eye central database (Multi db) contains information about:
• Each Rapid Eye site. Network and dial-up communication settings for each Multi-Media DSP
unit. See Multi-Media Site: Connection Configuration, p. 29.
• Operator accounts. For Users of View software and Admin software, including passwords to
user accounts, see p.
151.
• Rapid Eye alarm stations. PCs that receive alarms from Rapid Eye units. See
Multi-Media
Alarm Stations, p.
201.
• Site tours. Setup of lists of sites and time spent at each. Site tours work only if your
organization has two Multi-Media DSP units, or more. See
Touring Many Sites, p. 221.
And so on.
Customizing a Unit: View Software
Using View software for site maintenance
After units are installed and a Multi db is created, View software is used to run a
Maintenance
Session. During a Maintenance Session, a unit’s settings can be changed:
•
Unit’s Time Zone and Clock. To identify recorded video, it is important to set a unit's time zone
and clock. See page
56.
• Video. The resolution of recorded video can be set and the monitor settings of Microsoft
Windows can be adjusted. See
Video Feed Setup, p. 65.
• Site hardware. View is used for unit and hardware settings. See
Configuring Other Hardware,
p.
129.
And so on.
