Touring Many Sites

Purpose

A Rapid Eye Multi system can be set to show all of the video and data from a series of sites, one site at a time, automatically. This a common use of a CCTV security system. Admin is used to setup one or more tours. View is used to run site tours.

A site tour, involving many Rapid Eye sites is very different from other types of tours, such as:

•PTZ tour. One camera; one site. See Pan, Tilt, and Zoom (PTZ) Setup to see how to set a PTZ- camera to a preset position.

•LocalView tour. Using LocalView to tour many cameras at one site. See the LocalView online help.

•Public display monitor. Many cameras at one site. Using a monitor connected to one Multi- Media unit. See Public Display Monitor: Using Monitor Output 1, p. 141.

Preliminary Checklist

Tip

Before defining a site tour

Your Multi System Administrator (Multi SA) needs at least two sites to define a tour. See Naming / Renaming a Site, on p. 24. For systems using one site only, a Live session is as effective as a Site tour. See the Rapid Eye View Software Operator Guide.

A site tour is not listed in View until more than one site is assigned to it.

Design a site tour using two or more Rapid Eye units.

System password

The System Password should be the same for the Rapid Eye sites selected for a site tour. See p. 166.
