An ACUIX™ PTZ camera dome with Intellibus™ can be connected to a Rapid Eye
Multi-Media DVR and configured using Rapid Eye View software.
1. Set ACUIX cameras to their Intellibus mode (Intellibus-PTZ).
2. Set DIP switch 5-8 to ON, on each ACUIX camera. Set the Camera Address using
rotary switches (SW1 to SW4) on the PCB at the base of the dome. Do not use the
same Camera Address on two or more domes connected to the same bus.
3. Connect the ACUIX cameras to a port on the Rapid Eye DVR.
4. Notify the Multi SA of the number of the port used on the Rapid Eye DVR and the
Camera Address used for each ACUIX camera.
You can connect up to 16 domes on one communication line connected to the Multi-Media
DVR. Terminate the communication input(s) of the last dome in the chain. Leave other
domes un-terminated.
