Context-sensitive Help for LocalView: available by clicking the ?icon in the
upper right corner and then clicking the item you want help with.
The documentation CD that comes with the unit contains other helpful user
guides. The System Admin Guide and Remote View Guide describe using
the Admin and View applications. For hardware and installation information,

1 Connecting Hardware
Camera(s), Monitor and Mouse
•Oneormanyvideo cameras and/or PTZ domes (IP and analog).
•APC monitor.
•Acomputer mouse with a USB connector, included.
•Acomputer keyboard,not included.
IP Camera(s)
Rapid Eye Hybrid LT V10.1 DVRs support up to 4/8 Honeywell equIP®V2,
equIP®H.264, equIP®1080p, equIP®Wide Dynamic Range IP,
Performance IP, and/or HD3/4 IP cameras on Hybrid LT V10.1 units. Some
ONVIF IP cameras are also supported (see http://
www.security.honeywell.com/hota for a complete list of supported IP
cameras). Rapid Eye Hybrid LT V10.0 units do not support Honeywell
Performance IP, equIP®1080p, equIP®Wide Dynamic Range IP, and ONVIF
IP cameras, and support fewer IP channels if Local Monitoring (LocalView) is
enabled. Refer to the Rapid Eye System Administrator Guide included on the
documentation CD for information on enabling or disabling Local
Monitoring.
Refer also to the Rapid Eye System Administrator Guide for a complete list of
IP cameras supported (and their supported features) by Rapid Eye Hybrid
LT V10.1 and V10.0 DVRs.
Connect the IP cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN) where your unit is
installed. See the documentation that was included with the camera to install
and connect the camera to the Local Area Network. See 12 IP Camera
Discovery and Setup for information on setting up UP cameras for use in
your Rapid Eye Hybrid LT system.
Analog Camera(s)
Connect each camera to a VIDEO INPUT connector at the rear of the Rapid
Eye Hybrid LT unit.
Connecting a Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard
Connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port at the rear of the unit. If possible,
connect a USB keyboard (not included) to the unit; if the keyboard has two
USB connectors, connect each one. Connect the supplied USB mouse, or
your own mouse, to use with LocalView.
2 Powering the Unit and the Cameras
Using an Uninterruptible Power Supply
Honeywell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the
Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR and the cameras. Powering the cameras and unit
from a UPS ensures that the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT can continue to record
video during a power outage. If you need to monitor video during a power
outage, consider a UPS for the monitor as well.

3 The Start-up Sequence
Recommended Powerup Sequence
1. Turn on cameras (analog and IP) and other hardware, connected to the
DVR. Honeywell recommends that cameras be powered up before the
Rapid Eye unit starts up, so they are automatically detected by the DVR.
2. Press the power switch on the back of the unit.
Note When the unit powers up, you will have the option of booting the
unit from either the primary or recovery operating system. Use
the primary OS boot-up unless an OS recovery is required. The
primary boot-up is the default and will be run automatically after
5 seconds. See the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT Installation Guide or call
technical support for more information.
3. Display the Login window on the connected monitor. After powering-
up, wait until video is shown. Move the mouse or press a key on the
keyboard to display the Login window.
4 Logging On
To log on, enter Administrator in the User Name text box if it is not
already entered. Click the icon ( ) to open the virtual keyboard and enter
the user name. Click OK to confirm the name and close the keyboard. Leave
the Password text box empty; a password can be added to the local
Administrator account later. Click OK to logon.
5 Welcome to LocalView
When the Welcome window appears, click Quick Setup to start the Quick
Setup Wizard.
Select the Do not show this dialog again option if you don’t want to use
Quick Setup Wizard again, the next time you start LocalView.
6 The Quick Setup Wizard
7 The Administrator Password
Honeywell recommends that you set a password for the Administrator
account to prevent tampering with the unit’s settings and the stored video.
Click the keyboard icon ( ) to open the virtual keyboard and enter the
password. Do not use double-quotes (“) in the password.
8 Setting the Date, Time and Time Zone
Time Zone Selection and Manually Setting Date and Time
It is important to indicate the Time Zone in which the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT
unit is installed, so that the date and time of the video are correct. Click Set
Date and Time to manually change the time and date settings.
Option: Automatic Time and Date
On a network, the date and time of a Rapid Eye Hybrid LT DVR can be set to
Automatic, using SNTP. Your network administrator will know if SNTP is in
use, and what to enter into the Primary SNTP Server text box that becomes
available after the Automatic option is selected.
Help
The Quick Setup Wizard
lists which actions can be
taken during its use. The
?button (Help) can be
used, as needed. Click
Next to advance to the
next step. You can return
to a previous step by
clicking Back.

9 Network Settings
Standalone LocalView-Only Units
If the Rapid Eye Hybrid LT unit is not connected to a network, leave the fields
blank in step 4 of the Quick Setup Wizard and then click Next.
Using a Network Connection
Enter a name for the DVR using the Site Name text box. Your network
administrator will know whether DHCP should be used, or if a network
address for the unit needs to be manually input. For Network Address
Translation (NAT, the use of one IP address for many units), enter the
Internet router’s inside IP address into the Gateway text box.
Click the keyboard icon ( ) to open the virtual keyboard for each one of
these fields and enter the appropriate network values.
10 Recording Settings
Recording Continuous Video
Analog
Cameras
Connected analog cameras are detected automatically when the unit is
powered up or re-booted. Cameras are listed in a table. To record video, click
the cell in the Record column for a camera and select On. Video from that
camera is recorded using the settings in the Continuous Resolution, Frame
Rate and picture Quality columns. Click a cell to change the Resolution,
Frame Rate or Quality values. See 12 IP Camera Discovery and Setup for
more information on setting up and using IP cameras in the Rapid Eye Hybrid
LT system.
Event Video Recording
Set the Event recording settings to higher values than those for Continuous
recording. While monitoring video, an operator can then increase the video
recording settings, as needed.
Note IP cameras can only adjust the Frame Rate setting for Event
recording. The Resolution and Quality settings are the same for
Continuous and Event recording.
Optimization
When setting values for Continuous recording, monitor the Estimated
Storage Capacity value to ensure that the length of the video archive meets
the needs of your organization.
On DVRs with many cameras that are inputting very high values on every
camera, suggestions for maximizing the performance of the unit can be
produced (see the image below). There can be more than the two Option
buttons to select, depending on the number of cameras you are using.
11 The Report of the Wizard’s Activity
Before finishing the Quick Setup Wizard, you have the option of running the
Rules Wizard. The Rules Wizard is used to automate Event recording and is
explained in the LocalView online Help. Click Finish to close the Quick Setup
Wizard.
12 IP Camera Discovery and Setup
IP cameras must be added after the Setup Wizard has completed. Select
Cameras on the Configuration tab of the leftmost pane of the LocalView
window. Click the Camera Configurations button.
The IP Camera Discovery and Configuration screen opens and lists auto-
discovered IP cameras. Select a discovered IP camera and click the arrow
( ) to assign it to the selected Rapid Eye channel. Channels that have an
IP camera assigned can be switched back to analog by selecting the Analog
Cameras radio button for that channel.
Confirm and modify (if needed) the IP camera’s Connection Parameters (IP
Address, UserName, Password, and so on). Click Save. If one or more
cameras have been changed from analog to IP, or from IP to analog, the Save
button becomes a Save & Reboot button. You will be warned that saving
these changes requires the unit to reboot. Make all of the camera changes
necessary (to avoid rebooting the DVR unit multiple times), then click Save &
Reboot to reboot the unit.
The IP cameras can now be viewed and recorded, once the unit has booted
back up. Now that the IP cameras have been assigned to a video channel, go
to the Recording Settings window to set up the recording resolution, frame
rate and quality settings for the IP cameras that you have assigned to the
Rapid Eye unit.
