Remote Unit & LocalView User Interface Information

Remote Unit

The RU is the heart of the REMM system and designed to satisfy the security industry’s growing demand for an integrated video security tool. The RU was engineered from its inception for durability and expandability to meet the stringent requirements of today’s security environment.

The new rugged chassis offers a sleek, modular design suited for desktop or rack-mount installations. It fits perfectly into a standard 19" EIA rack and can be fitted with the optional slide rack-mount kit (HRMSLIDE) that makes servicing your installation simple. The removable front panel features a key lock, concealing four field-replaceable/expandable hard drive bays; the optional CD-RW drive for creating evidence clips of your security data locally at the RU site; and red power button for front panel power control. The detachable rear BNC panel allows servicing of the unit without the removal or disruption of your coaxial cable leads. The RU is equipped with two independent 2-way audio channels that offer users the ability to monitor and record synchronized audio streams. Data handling capabilities enable the RU to connect with a growing list of POS devices such as cash registers and ATMs for monitoring, recording and retrieval of critical business data. All physical connections are made directly to the RU, including 16 cameras, 16 alarm input devices, eight auxiliary control outputs, two serial ports for control of most industry standard PTZ domes, and connection to POS and ATM devices. Using our multi-port protocol interface translator (AVBPIT4POS) up to four POS or ATM devices can be connected to a single serial port on the RU.

The REMM RU is offered in 48 standard configurations, making it one of the most versatile products in the industry. This versatility focuses on real issues confronting users of digital recording products today including, length of time for storage of video, video capture rate (ips), and the option to record incident clips to a CD-RW at the RU site. Our intuitive RU model number allows you to configure the right unit for every application. (See ordering information.)

LocalView

LocalView, the local user interface, enables the user to define basic system and camera configurations view live and recorded video, audio, and data at the RU site. LocalView features three levels of password protected security. Using only a VGA monitor (not supplied), and a PS2 mouse (supplied), the user can configure system and network settings such as: Unit Name, Time Zone, Date, IP address, Network Mask and Gateway. Camera configurations include: Live Video window, Settings box for manual and AGC controls, Selected Camera box for Name and Type (camera) designation, and a Recording box for Rate (capture) and Quality settings. Video management capabilities include: eight Live Video tabs that are individually configurable by selecting from one of 15 predefined camera grids. The grids range from a single camera to a 4x4 matrix, allowing a multiplexed view of all 16 cameras in a single panel. The Live video tabs can be made to cycle through automatically, creating a user-definable "Live Tour" of all cameras attached to the RU.

Recorded video, audio and data can also be reviewed and played back in its own video tab called Clip Builder. Clip Builder can be arranged in any of the 15 predefined grids allowing up to 16 video streams to be displayed. Clip Builder also provides a utility to create a video clip using Start and Stop times. A user can store the clip to the RU’s hard drive or directly to a CD-RW if the unit is equipped with the optional CD-RW drive. The Clip Player tab provides a utility to review a pre-recorded clip from the RU’s hard drive, or from a previously-recorded CD, loaded in the CD-RW drive. Both Clip Builder and Clip Player provide mouseselectable, VCR-like controls, such as, Play, Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind.

Estimating the number of days a Rapid Eye Multi-Media Remote Unit will record:
(See web site for storage calculator.)

• Based on your application need, determine each camera ’s desired update rate (in images per second). Sum total of all cameras’ ips cannot exceed RU ratings.

• If all cameras are set for the same update rate, simply multiply the update rate times the total number of cameras,( e.g., 2 cameras x 8 ips =16 total ips).

• If all cameras are not set for the same update rate, add each camera ’s update rate (in images per second) together (e.g.,6 ips for camera one +10 ips for camera two =16 ips total).

• Locate your total images per second in the chart above. The column underneath helps you select the appropriate RU for your application ’s record duration requirements.

• The above table shows typical durations that assume: a quality setting of 7 and no audio or data recording; securely mounted cameras with wide angle lenses; up to two non-auto-panning domes (pre-set operation recommended).

• Record duration, or the quantity of images that can be recorded on RU hard drives, can vary from half to two times the typical results shown in the chart above.
