3.3.5.1 Dual monitor operation
MULTIEYE-Hybrid supports the dual monitor / dual graphics cards operation. For example it's possible to switch
the MultiScreen on monitor one OR monitor two. Just right-click into an empty space in the upper userbar. The
software saves the position of the windows.
3.4 Supported operating systems
The operating systems Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 are supported by MULTIEYE.
Under the system Windows XP Professional you must be logged in as a main user with limited
administration-rights or as administrator.
It's not possible to work with the rights of a "normal user".
(see also: Userrights in Windows XP Professional )
The installation and configuration has to be done always with the rights of an administrator.
When you use Windows XP Home, you must work as administrator.
Attention: WINDOWS 98, ME and NT4
These operating systems are not supported by MULTIEYE-recorders.
But a remote request is possible from these systems.
3.5 Firewalls and virus scanner
If you have installed a virus scanner, it should be configured to ignore the drives, where the videos are stored.
This avoids the lowering of the system performance, because the virus scanner scans permanently the video files.
MULTIEYE is programmed modular. The separate parts of the software communicate over network connections.
This is the case, that a firewall (e.g. Symantec Norton Internet Security) has to be configured to allow external access.
In case of a remote access the corresponding ports have to be opened.
The integrated firewall in Windows XP blocks only external access. In this case you have only to configure the
firewall, if it's necessary to remote access the system.
3.6 Choosing the analog cameras
It's important for the later results to choose the right cameras for the closed circuit television. Only when the
image quality at the input of the recorder is good enough, the saved video file will be good too.
