Setting Up LocalView A PC mouse (included) and PC monitor (not included) are needed when using LocalView to operate a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR. LocalView is available while the DVR is running.
A USB mouse (included) and PC monitor (not included) are needed when using LocalView to operate a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR. A USB keyboard (not included) is optional. Connect the mouse (included) to a USB port on the rear panel of the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT unit.
Installation Figure 2-5 Accessing the Network Settings Using LocalView Quick Setup Wizard For a common network connection, changes to the IP address can be made using the Quick Setup Wizard; refer to the Rapid Eye™ Hybrid LT Quick Start Guide. To setup a different type of network connection, see the procedures on the next few pages;...
LocalView Network Settings with DHCP If you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign an IP Address for your unit, select the Use DHCP check box: In Network Settings, enable DHCP on the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT unit (see Figure 2-8).
If DHCP is unavailable on your network, the DVR request for DHCP services times-out after two minutes. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Without DNS In the DVRs Network Settings, enable DHCP on the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR (see Figure 2-8). The Site Name is not used in this type of connection.
To test a network connection, PING the DVR. Dial-up Connection The internal modem is only supplied with North American Rapid Eye Hybrid LT units. European units requiring modem functionality require an external modem connected to Serial Port 1 or 2 (see the documentation that came with the external modem for connection information).
For Telco communication, a data-grade (fax) telephone line is preferable to a standard line. Special features, such as call waiting, should not be available on a telephone line used by a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR. Note For dial-up connections, LocalView is not needed to help set up a remote connection.

Tamper detection does not work the same way with IP cameras as it does with analog cameras (described here). See documentation that came with your Honeywell or supported ONVIF IP camera for more information. Refer to Rapid Eye™ Hybrid HD and Hybrid LT Digital Video Recorders System...
Rapid Eye™ Hybrid LT DVR Installation Guide Scene Change After a System Administrator has rearmed an alarm produced by the Scene Change-type of tamper detection, move the camera back to the scene that the organization needs to monitor. TIP! The Blind type of tamper detection can be used for fixed and for PTZ cameras. Blur and Scene Change tamper detection are designed for fixed cameras only, not for PTZ use.
If security procedures call for viewing the person that is speaking, plan to place microphones in camera range. However, microphones can be placed independently of cameras; they have their own cabling. Microphones require amplification to provide line-level input to a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR (see Figure 4-1).
Checking one’s installation for hard-to-predict situations includes spot-checking for: Live audio Coordinate the testing of audio with fire alarm and security alarm testing. Using View, connect to that Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR and check audio for feedback and interference, before and during alarms.
Rapid Eye™ Hybrid LT DVR Installation Guide Recorded audio After a day or two, check for background noise in recordings, using a retrieval session to spot-check each microphone for a few seconds at every half-hour or so, during a 24-hour period. This can reveal if microphones are placed too near sources of background noise such as a vent.
Audio Caution The Audio tab is unavailable on PCs without a sound card. Monitoring and Recording Audio Select the Enable checkboxes to enable transmission of sound from point to point and to monitor it. Select the Record checkbox to record sound along with the video from the site. Enabling Talking to a Site Select the Talk (Audio Out) checkboxes, as needed for each channel (see Figure...
Site Hardware You can add hardware to a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR at any time. Rapid Eye software is then used to make Hybrid LT DVRs aware of the hardware. The steps to do so are outlined in the road map, below.
Do not place equipment, such as a monitor, directly on top of the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR. Connectors for Serial Communications Ports 1 and 2 The wiring for the RS-232 connectors on a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR’s Serial PORT 1 and PORT 2 is listed in Table 5-1.
Cameras, and domes that pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ). See Connecting a PTZ Dome, page 56. • Alarm sensors, connected to a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR’s inputs. See Inputs for Sensors, page 59. • Relay triggered devices, including locks, gates, warning sirens, and so on, that connect to the outputs of a Hybrid LT DVR.
More than one camera can be displayed simultaneously. For a better public display of video, and if displaying one video feed at a time is satisfactory, Honeywell recommends using a dedicated NTSC (or PAL) monitor, rather than the VGA output used for LocalView.
Camera Address on two or more domes connected to the same bus. Connect the ACUIX cameras to a port on the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR. Notify the System Administrator of the number of the port used on the Rapid Eye LT DVR and the Camera Address used for each ACUIX camera.
Site Hardware Consistent Port Attributes Honeywell recommends that if domes are to share a serial communications line, installers should select domes that: • Function at the same settings for: Baud Rate, Data Bits, Parity, and Stop Bits. • Use the same PTZ drivers.
Rapid Eye™ Hybrid LT DVR Installation Guide Alarm Sensors To connect alarm-type hardware to a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR, use hookup wire in the 20-gauge range. Tools you may need: • A slot screwdriver (supplied). The screws are smaller than those for a 1/8 inch screwdriver.
Technical Notes Inputs to a Hybrid LT DVR Used by Hardware Devices Honeywell recommends that installers report the connection of input devices to the organization Rapid Eye System Administrator, indicating if the devices are using connections that are: normally open, normally closed or end-of-line.
A View operator • Automatically, by response rules, set by a System Administrator (see System Monitoring). System Monitoring A Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR can be monitored for failure to: • Function • Report alarms • Hardware failure to record video •...

An output can be configured to respond to a Response Schedule. Fault Relay Hardware Figure 5-5 Connecting the DVR FAULT RELAY to an External Alarm Panel...
Rapid Eye™ Hybrid LT DVR Installation Guide Temperature A Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR can be operated in a non-condensing environment, in temperatures ranging from 40°F to 104°F (or 5°C to 40°C). Caution Excessive heat (above 104°F) will shut down the DVR.
Site Hardware NetPIT and PIT Devices To connect a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR to a point-of-sale (POS) device—a cash register, automatic teller machine (ATM), and so on—a device is needed for Protocol Interface Translation (PIT) or Network Protocol Interface Translation (NetPIT). Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVRs support PITs and a NetPIT, for attaching many serial devices to a DVR.
Rapid Eye™ Hybrid LT DVR Installation Guide Port Use Restrictions Multiple Serial Switches Nested serial switches are not supported in Rapid Eye Hybrid LT software; please do not connect more than one to a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR. Internal Port: Internal Modem During a maintenance session, the Serial Devices tab shows an Internal Port that either lists a modem or nothing at all.

Cabling Coaxial Cable For short camera-to-monitor distances (up to several hundred feet), use pre-assembled or field-connected lengths of RG59/U coaxial cable, with continuous shielding, using a BNC connector at each end. Length Limit The cable length between a camera and the Hybrid LT DVR should be limited to 230 meters/750 feet.
Cabling Triaxial Cable Use triaxial cable instead of coaxial cable when the cable must be routed through an area having EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) caused by (partial list): • Large machinery • High voltage power lines • Refrigerator units • Microwaves Triaxial cable has a center conductor, insulator, and shield, followed by a second insulator and shield.
Horizontal and Vertical Unit Installations Rubber Feet and the Orientation of Unit Installations The Rapid Eye Hybrid LT unit can be installed one of the two following orientations (see Figure C-1): • Horizontal. The rubber feet come pre-installed on the unit for horizontal installations.
Screw the rubber feet into the four holes on the left side of the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT unit. Turn the rubber feet clockwise to tighten them until they fit securely (see Figure C-1).
