13.4FAQs

These answers to frequently asked questions (faq) include recommendations and warnings by Honeywell.

On a dial-up connection: do not use audio. Video can be corrupted by using audio

 

over dial-up. Live video can be combined with audio only on a network connection.

2–1

“Stream” identifies the different feeds—video, audio or data—coming through a

 

Multi-Media unit.

2–2

Closing unnecessary camera windows can increase the speed of video feeds

 

from that site, most noticeably when connected using dial-up.

2–4

The Video quality of recording is customized globally.

2–7

“UTC” is also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

2–7

Customizing the time reference does not change the time on your Multi-Media

 

unit or your PC. Only the display changes. See also 6.9.1: Setting the Date for

 

Correct Alarm Sorting, p. 6–20.

2–8

Higher refresh rates can alleviate eye fatigue when monitoring video over time.

2–10

The setting for the resolution of recorded video does not change when live video

 

alters its resolution on-the-fly.

2–10

For live work, video at higher resolutions makes more use of the processing

 

power of an operator’s PC.

2–11

Set a Multi-Media unit to use either NTSC or PAL cameras; both types cannot be

 

used on the same unit.

2–11

You can run retrieval and live sessions concurrently, from one or many sites.

3–1

Dial-up connections cannot achieve playback speeds much greater than 2x,

 

even if the Speed Slider is set at higher values.

3–3

“Top-of-the-minute” means that the jump-to-time slider rounds partial minutes to

 

the earliest time.

3–4

Power outages and so on, can temporarily stop a unit from recording. When

 

recording resumes, there is a “hole” in the video archive. These holes can cause

 

the later media indicator to appear.

3–5

Recorded video cannot be retrieved at a higher resolution than the one at which

 

it was recorded.

3–6

Set a Multi-Media unit to use either NTSC or PAL cameras; both types cannot be

 

used on the same unit.

3–7

Honeywell recommends that changes to camera settings be tested by running

 

Live and Retrieval sessions, by a View operator or by the Multi SA.

4–2

Motion search works only if “motion detection” was enabled during the

 

recording of the video that you plan to search.
