About the Rapid Eye Remote Video System
The Rapid Eye Video Telesurveillance system consists of the following two
major components, that communicate via a communication link such as
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Integrated Services Digital
Network (ISDN), or Frame Relay:
1.
Rapid Eye PLUS remote video Unit: This component connects
directly into standard Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) systems. It provides
the ability to view video images from cameras from distant sites, to
process and transmit alarm information, and to store video images
before, during, and after an alarm event has occurred. It may be
connected to a central monitoring site using PSTN, ISDN, or Frame
Relay. This guide describes how to install this unit.
2.
Rapid Eye OS Operator Software: This is a Windows-based software
product that allows alarm and video information to be retrieved from the
Remote Video Unit. (Refer to the Rapid Eye Remote Video System
Operator Software User Guide for installation and operating
instructions).
The system can handle up to 16 dry contact alarm inputs, up to 16 camera
inputs, and can deliver 8 control outputs.

configured to operate in a variety of different modes:
•
