Eagle Eye Networks and the eight-day search
Where it fits
An incident reported on a Monday morning may have happened the Sunday eight days earlier. That puts the query outside a seven-day window. Eagle Eye's edition matrix gives Standard a seven-day Smart Video Search window; on Professional and Enterprise the window follows camera retention. For this desk, a higher edition with adequate retention has a documented advantage when the material is older. Archive retention and the searchable period get separate entries on the purchase sheet.

Deployment boundary
The vendor describes support for compatible analog and ONVIF IP cameras. Most installations link their cameras through a Bridge or CMVR. Camera Direct is a distinct path for eligible smaller deployments. Check each model against the intended path before concluding that there is no room for a recorder. V11 · Compatibility FAQ
Access draws a second boundary. Give the roster 101 operators and Standard’s limit of 100 leaves one seat short. Professional accommodates a thousand users; Enterprise lists no ceiling. Professional and Enterprise include audit logs and single sign-on. Request the edition the people who will run the search actually need. V10 · Users and administration
Price basis
Subscriptions vary with camera resolution and retention. Obtain a dated estimate covering the camera list, retention, edition, appliance and term, and keep searchable days on the same sheet. Cost per retained day is of little use to the Monday investigator if the quoted search window ends on Tuesday. V11 · Camera subscriptions · V11 · Estimate process
Evidence to request
Capture a permitted marker event, document its UTC timestamp and leave the camera and retention configuration untouched. Eight days later, hand one investigator the camera and exact time for direct playback. Hand a second investigator the camera and a broader time range for search. If the first finds the marker and the second cannot, the desk has recovered one archived interval and retrieved zero search hits. Log both observations with the edition, window and elapsed search time. Before signing, can the buyer reproduce both retrieval paths under the proposed license?
