3 Input Normally, the input is connected to ground via a switch as shown
in Figure 3 on page 10. As shown in the table below, the input will
be detected by the camera as active or inactive depending on
whether the switch is open or closed and whether the input mode
is set to normal or inverted.
See the camera User’s Manual for more information about setting
the input mode.
Switch Condition Input Mode Input Detected As
Open Normal Inactive
Closed Normal Active
Open Inverted Active
Closed Inverted Inactive
As an alternative, voltage from a device can be applied directly to
the input. As shown in Figure 4 on page 11, the voltage should be
applied directly to the input and not through a switch.
As shown in the table below, the input will be detected by the
camera as active or inactive depending on the voltage level
applied and whether the input mode is set to normal or inverted.
Voltage Applied Input Mode Input Detected As
0 to +2.6 VDC Normal Active
+5.7 to +24.0 VDC Normal Inactive
0 to +2.6 VDC Inverted Inactive
+5.7 to +24.0 VDC Inverted Active
The area between +2.6 and +5.7 VDC is a transition zone and
should be avoided. The voltage applied to the input must not
exceed +24 VDC.

If camera power will be supplied via the terminal connector:
1. Make sure that your power supply meets the requirements stated in
Table 2 on page 6.
2. Locate the two output wires on the power supply.
The positive wire will typically be marked with a white stripe, a colored
stripe, or some similar type of marking (see Figure 6).
If you are unsure which output wire is positive, check the output from the
supply with a voltmeter and mark the positive wire now.
3. Unplug or switch off the power supply.
4. Make sure that the output wires on the power supply have the following
characteristics:
A minimum cross section of 0.14 mm2(AWG 25) and a maximum cross
section of 0.5 mm2(AWG 20).
8 mm (5/16") of insulation has been stripped from the end of each output
wire.
If the output wires are stranded rather than solid, they must have an
8 mm (5/16") long ferrule (end terminal) applied to the end of each wire
as shown in Figure 6.

5 Locating the Camera on Your Network
The location procedure assumes that your camera is on the same network
subnet as your PC and that you have a Windows®operating system on
your PC.
The procedure uses a web browser to access your Basler IP camera. The
recommended web browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or
higher.
If your network includes a proxy server and your web browser is set to use
the proxy server, the browser will not be able to access the camera. To
avoid this problem, change your web browser’s connection settings so that
the proxy server will not be used with local addresses.
To avoid possible problems, temporarily disable firewall and antivirus
software on your computer.
Close all Windows programs, including web browsers, before starting the
location procedure.
To locate your IPCam on your network:
1. Obtain the CD that was delivered with your camera and place it in your
computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2. Copy the BIPFinder.exe program from the CD to a location on your
computer’s hard drive.
3. Create a shortcut to the program on the desktop and then close Windows
Explorer.

LanguageLanguageLanguageLanguageLanguageLanguageLanguageLanguage
4. Double click on the BIP Finder shortcut. The BIP Finder software will
locate the IP camera(s) on your network and will display them in a tree
format as shown below.
The IP cameras will be listed in the Camera Finder window by their host
name.
If you double click on an IP camera host name in the Camera Finder
window, your web browser will open and the browser will access the Basler
Surveillance Web Client in the camera.(See Section 6 for more information
about the Basler Surveillance Web Client.)

Installation Guide
18 Basler IP Camera
If you hover the cursor over an IP Camera host name in the Camera Finder
window, information about the camera will be displayed in a tip window as
shown below. The information will include the camera’s model, current
firmware version, serial number, host name, IP address(es), port number,
and an indication of when the camera was located by the finder. (This
"hover" feature will only work correctly if you are using version 1.2 or higher
of the BIP Finder software and you have version 1.4 or higher firmware in
your camera.)
Note: If a camera is set to use a DHCP assigned IP address or to use a
fixed IP address, the tip window will display two IP addresses for the
camera. This happens because the camera always acquires an auto IP
address in addition to the DHCP assigned address or the fixed address. In
thissituation,thecamerawillhavetwoIPaddresses anditcanbeaccessed
by using either IP address.
