Document purpose

This document, titled Quick Start Guide, is intended to be used as a concise guide for installing
and starting the EyStream software package as well as for configuring and using its main
functions (video surveillance, audio surveillance, pan/tilt/zoom devices management).

More detailed information on the EyStream software package is presented in the documents
titled User Guide and Recommended platforms.

Purpose of the EyStream software package

The EyStream software package is an entry-level product in the eLine product line. Security
systems based on EyStream range from home security systems (for an apartment or house) to
professional security systems for small and midsize businesses (hotels, automotive service
centers, shops, parking structures, etc.).

Video and audio surveillance of guarded locations, video analysis and rapid response to suspicious
situations without operator involvement, and storage and export of obtained data are just a few of
EyStream's many functions.

The EyStream software package enables the user to accomplish a wide spectrum of tasks, as it
works both with digital equipment and with analog video cameras (through Stretch cards), and
also makes it possible to create a hybrid security system containing both kinds of equipment.

Purpose of the EyStream software package

The EyStream software package supports touch-sensitive monitors.

Installing the EyStream Software Package

First of all, you have to install the hardware and software components of the EyStream software
package.

audio capture devices (video cameras, microphones), event generation devices
(sensors, relays, etc.), and hard disks for organizing data archives.

b. All tasks accomplished with the Client type of installation (see below).

2. Client – This type of installation is used for installing the software's user interfaces, which
enable any user to connect to any server within a single security system and to perform
administration/management/monitoring of a guarded location based on the permissions
granted by the administrator.

To install the EyStream software package, perform the following steps:

1. Power up the PC and load the operating system.

2. Insert the EyStream installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
