2–3
Multi-Media Unit: Installation Instructions
2.3 Reporting the Installation
Flexibility
As you start connecting, hardware to the Multi-Media unit, Honeywell recommends that
installers take notes in a form similar to the one provided in 7.5: Site Information, on
p. 7–8. Include a record of the hardware connected to the Multi-Media unit and of use of
LocalView to make changes to the Rapid Eye site’s configuration.
To whom...
Direct the report to the:
• Multi SA. An organization’s Multi system administrator (Multi SA), responsible
for use of the Admin software.
- and/or -
• network administrator. The installer may need to contact the organization’s
network administrator, depending on a Multi system’s sensitivity, complexity,
size, and the Multi SA’s knowledge of computers and networks.
Content of installation report
The report contains information needed for configuring the site(s) using Admin and View
software.
The installation report can list:
• telephone number or IP addresses assigned to Rapid Eye sites
• information about the cameras (color, PTZ, and so on)
• use of other hardware (gates, alarms and so on) connected to the Multi-Media
unit’s input(s) or output(s).
2.4 Powering the Multi-Media Unit
Power requirement
A Multi-Media unit can auto-range:
• 100–240 V~, 63–47 Hz, 6–3 A
For many cameras in a permanent installation, you can use a power supply such as an
APS 2404UL (4 cameras) or APS 2416UL (16 cameras).
Uninterruptible power supply
2–4
To allow time for a safe power-down, a UPS should guarantee 300 watts of power for
each Multi-Media unit, for at least 30 minutes.
In Europe, a UPS is required to meet EN50130–4.
Field Work
UPS: remember the cameras
Powering the cameras (or their power supply) from a UPS ensures that the Multi-Media
unit can continue to record video during a power outage, whether the outage is due to
your utility or to a criminal act.
Honeywell recommends that a line conditioning uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) be used with the Multi-Media unit and the cameras connected to the unit.
Fig. 14. Plugging-in a Multi-Media unit.
Without a UPS?
When a UPS is not used, the Multi-Media unit should be connected to a dedicated
ground circuit. The outlet and breaker box should be marked as such. Nothing else
should be plugged into this circuit.
2.4.1 Powering Up and Down
Wait after turning on a unit
During the two minutes a REMM unit needs to initialize, it is good practice to not turn it
off.
A “unit recovery” process can be triggered if the unit is turned off before initialization is
complete. The end of the initialization is signaled by a double-beep from the unit.
!15 The power up sequence recommended by Honeywell
1. Plug the Multi-Media unit and its cameras into a power source, preferably an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
2. Turn on camera(s) and other hardware, connected to the unit.
3. Turn on the Multi-Media unit.
!16 The power down sequence
1. Press and hold the power switch on the front of the Multi-Media unit for up to
five seconds.
2. Unplug the Multi-Media unit from the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or wall
outlet.
3. Power down the camera(s) and/or other hardware.
4. Power down the UPS, if in use.
If cameras are turned on after the Multi-Media unit, they will not be auto-detected
by the unit.
2–5
Multi-Media Unit: Installation Instructions
2.4.2 Unit Recovery
Unit recovery is an internal diagnostic that seldom occurs and cannot be interrupted,
even by powering down a unit. A unit recovery can take well over two hours on units with
a large storage capacity; see table 4. If unit recovery occurs repeatedly, contact
Honeywell technical support.
Table 4
Time needed for a Multi-Media unit recovery
nominal storage* (camera-day) time
* A unit’s nominal storage is indicated as part of the model number. For example:
HRM60CD4500, “4500” is the number for storage.
†
Values are approximate. During a unit recovery, a View operator can only run a
maintenance session on the Multi-Media unit, to check the Feedback box for the
“Recovering storage, n % completed” message.

2.5 Connecting a Camera
Honeywell recommends powering down a unit before connecting hardware to it.
See 2.4.1: Powering Up and Down, p. 2–5.
Connector
The BNC connector’s low signal loss, ease of twist-on installation, and small size, make
it a common connector for CCTV connections. Honeywell recommends using a solderor crimp-type connector. Video is quite sensitive to bad connectors; do not use screw-type
connectors. These can seriously compromise a unit’s performance.
Fig. 15. Connect each camera to a different camera input (an “IN”, in the
VIDEO INPUTS section), on the back-panel.
Rapid Dome or Rapid Dome Gold dome systems
2–6
With Rapid Dome or Rapid Dome Gold dome systems, using twisted pair transmission,
Honeywell recommends that passive-to-passive transmission distances be no more than
500 feet (154 meters). For greater distance, please use an active receiver product such
as an ATP652R.
Field Work
Securing a camera
Forethought about poor camera angles and the possibility of tampering with cameras or
vandalism can help to assist police if an area becomes a crime scene, for optimal
gathering of evidence, whether for corporate use, or for use of video in a court of law.
Lens selection and angle of the camera can be critical to the usefulness of
images obtained in a closed circuit television (CCTV) system.
When planning where to place video cameras, Honeywell suggests that your planning
authority consider:
• dealing with environmental lighting situations that can render a system
ineffective: direct sunshine or other strong lighting, darkness and so on.
• environmental factors that can hamper cameras or the lens of cameras: dust,
condensation, grease (common in food preparation areas), excessive heat or
cold.
• working around camera blind spots due to: architecture, mobile equipment,
vehicle docking, construction and so on
Reference
The details of camera lens selection, camera angle, maintenance and so on, are beyond
the scope of this guide. For an in-depth reference about the field of closed-circuit
television in a security setting, see:
• Kruegle, Herman, CCTV Surveillance: Video practices and technology,
Butterworth–Heinemann, Newton (MA), 1995, ISBN 0-7506-9028-3, TK6680.K78
2.6 LocalView
Hardware
LocalView is available by connecting a VGA monitor and a mouse directly to the REMM unit.
LocalView automatically starts when the REMM unit is powered up. An online help facility
is included with LocalView. To use LocalView, you need only the mouse supplied with
the REMM unit – a keyboard is not required.
Honeywell recommends powering down a unit before connecting hardware to it.
See 2.4.1: Powering Up and Down, p. 2–5.
PTZ configuration and control are not currently supported in LocalView. PTZ
configuration and control are fully supported when using View software.
Functions
Using LocalView, you can:
• perform basic system setup functions such as: configuring network settings,
including the unit’s IP address
• perform camera setup: name, type, recording rate and recording quality
• configure system clock: date, time and time zone
2–7
Multi-Media Unit: Installation Instructions
• review and search the system log
• record and monitor live video, audio or data
• make and view a video-clip that includes audio and data
• copy a video-clip to the unit’s CD-RW drive; a drive is an option on REMM units
• set up a camera tour, using the Cycle feature.
• monitor a video feed at high resolution.
LocalView help on operator’s PC
LocalView‘s online help is available in a small, standalone application for an operator’s
PC. It is on the Admin and View CD and on the Upgrade CD, in the RU folder. Look for:
LocalView Help.exe. The files are HTML; they are read using an internet browser.
Monitors
VGA. For using LocalView, a VGA monitor can be plugged directly into a Multi-Media
unit. The software is designed for a resolution of 800 x 600.
Select a VGA monitor to run LocalView only if the monitor supports a resolution
of 800 × 600.
NTSC. To use LocalView on an NTSC television set or monitor, you need a VGA- to-
NTSC converter. Text labels on such equipment may be harder to read than on a VGA
monitor.
PAL. To use LocalView on a PAL television set or monitor, you need a VGA- to-PAL
converter. Text labels on such equipment may be harder to read than on a VGA monitor.
Placing a monitor or other equipment directly on top of the Multi-Media unit is not
recommended.
Recommended media
For recording clips using the CD-RW drive on a Multi-Media unit, Honeywell
recommends that only recordable compact discs be used (CD-R).
Do not use re-writable compact discs (CD-RW) or recordable digital video discs
(R-DVD) to store Multi-Media video clips.

2.7 Network Connection
Overview
You may not need to assign an IP address to a unit if your network is enabled for
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Networks with DHCP
Multi-Media units can be enabled as DHCP clients; DHCP is OFF by default. After
enabling DHCP, power-down a unit connected to the network and power-up. See the
Admin User Guide for detailed procedures.
A network administrator has the option of assigning a reserved IP address to a MultiMedia unit, instead of a “computer name”. In that case, the unit’s default IP address can
be used. You have the option of assigning a different static IP address to the unit using
the procedures for networks without DHCP, below.

Multi-Media Unit: Installation Instructions
Within DHCP without DNS, an assigned IP address needs to be reserved or it may
change.
Plan to let the network’s administrator as well as the Multi SA know of the unit’s
installation; after a unit is rebooted or reset, a new DHCP address is assigned to it and
communication to the unit could be hampered if wrongly configured.
For a network without DHCP
There are two methods of setting a static IP address on a Multi-Media unit. You can do
so by using either:
• LocalView. Software available on Multi-Media units. To use, LocalView
software, connect a monitor (not supplied) and a mouse (supplied) to the unit;
connecting a keyboard is optional.
• PC. When using a PC onsite, procedures !20 to !25 are used.
Setting an IP address is only needed for a connection to a network.
Do not use these procedures on a unit that only has a dial-up connection.
2.7.1 Using LocalView Onsite
!19 To assign an IP address to a unit using LocalView
If needed, repeat steps 3 to 6 for the Network Mask and Gateway.
1. Connect a monitor and mouse to a Multi-Media unit. LocalView appears on the
monitor while the unit is on.
2. Using the mouse connected to the Multi-Media unit, click the Setup tab of
LocalView. Sub-tabs appear.
3. On the System sub-tab, under “Network Settings”, click the IP Address field. A
window appears showing a virtual keypad.
4. Click the keys of the virtual keypad to enter the IP address.
5. Click OK.
What next?
After making these settings, someone needs to use Admin software to duplicate the
settings in a Multi database, before a View software operator can connect to the unit
through a network.

2.7.2 Using a PC Onsite
Procedures !20 to !25 explain how to use a PC onsite.
!20 To connect a null-modem cable
1. Power off the Multi-Media unit.
2. Connect the 9-pin (or 25-pin) female connector of a null modem cable to one of
the PC’s serial ports. Connect the other 9-pin female connector to the RS-232
Port 2 connector at the back of the unit.

!21 To setup a terminal program
1. On the PC connected to a Multi-Media unit, start a terminal session. You can
use a program such as HyperTerminal—bundled with Microsoft Windows. The
commands for launching HyperTerminal are listed in table 6. The terminal
session is used to send commands to the Multi-Media Shell software on the
unit. A dialog appears, similar to the Connection Description in figure 18.
