Identifying the Model of the Camera
Honeywell recommends identifying the model of the camera in ACUIX dome cameras, to avoid
uploading an ACUIX configuration file from one model of ACUIX camera to another.
1. Run a
Maintenance Session.
2. Click the Video tab.
3. Click PTZ.
4. Select a camera that is an
ACUIX dome camera.
5. Click Camera Menu. The model of the camera is listed.
Upgrading the Firmware of an ACUIX Dome Camera
1. Run a Maintenance Session.
2. On the Serial Devices tab, click the port to which the Intellibus device is assigned.
3. Click Discover to update the table of
ACUIX dome cameras.
4. Do one of the following:
• Select all of the ACUIX dome cameras, by clicking the checkbox in the Name
column. See figure
6–14.
• Select some of the
ACUIX dome cameras. If not all of the ACUIX dome cameras
are selected, the cameras are upgraded one by one; see step 9 of this
procedure.
5. Click Firmware Upgrade. A standard, Windows dialog appears, showing the drives and
folders available on the operator's PC.
6. Select a drive, folder and a firmware file for the
ACUIX dome camera. These files should
have a *.ngd file extension.
7. Click Open.
8. A Maintenance Message dialog box appears, to confirm the operator's selection.
To proceed, click Yes.
9. If there are many
ACUIX dome cameras connected to the unit, and all were selected in
step 4 of this procedure, a Sequence for Upgrading Cameras dialog box appears. Select
a sequence, and then click Continue. The upgrade of the cameras can be:
• Simultaneous. Approximate time: 10 minutes.
• One by one. More time consuming; about 10 minutes for each camera.
This upgrade stops if a camera is off, or if the connection fails, and a warning
appears for that camera.
If "Simultaneous" is selected, and an ACUIX dome camera is off, or if the connection fails,
the upgrade appears to continue, without warning the operator. When all of the ACUIX
dome cameras are powered and the connection to them is operational, use this procedure
again.
