3 Overview
This user guide describes the installation and usage of a system for video recording. It consists
of one network camera AXIS P12-series / F-series / 211 / 210 / 207 or a Video Encoder AXIS
Q7404 / P7214 with analog cameras and a one of the data logger
blue PiraT2
blue PiraT2 5E
blue PiraT Mini
blue PiraT Remote
Telemotive AG. The Video Encoders are used to connect analog cameras (NTSC/PAL). The
network cameras can be connected directly to the data logger.
The system allows the recording of up to four different video streams at the same time. For that
the server (or a network camera) and the data logger must be connected to each other and con-
figured separately by a HTML-based client.
The video streams are recorded in real-time and in a specified time interval in the logger. They
can be downloaded into a control unit for offline use. They can also be converted to a video file
and transferred from the logger into a computer. The video block length can be adjusted to 15
up to 60 seconds and the videos are stored in the mpeg4 format.
When converting into a video file, the system can combine a maximum of 400 blocks per file.
The length of the blocks can change. If more video blocks are available and they cannot be
converted to one file, the system creates several files. In this way no video data is lost.
Attention:
The Video Encoder and the cameras are not set by default to standby mode, which may
be a reason for an empty battery.
After rebooting the system takes approximately 60 seconds to be synchronized. The recording
starts immediately after the synchronization.
If the Ethernet cable was removed between the Video Encoder / camera and the data logger
and plugged in again, the system takes around 11 seconds for the resynchronization.
If the supply voltage is removed from the Video Encoder / camera during the recording, it takes
about 60 seconds to be synchronized (after a reconnection).
AXIS camera and Video Encoder should be operating within the AXIS specification. This is es-
pecially required for power and environmental parameters.
This user guide describes the configuration and usage of this feature. The general configuration
is described in the user guides of the used data logger as well as the Telemotive System Client,
which is valid together.
The client software was only tested with Microsoft®Windows®7.
This document refers to firmware version 02.04.01 and the Telemotive System Client from
version 2.4.1. Some features depending on model and feature license or may not be available
in older versions.
Software updates and user guides for other, optional, licensed enhancements are available in
the Telemotive ServiceCenter. (Please find the address under Contact at the last page.)

4 System requirements
Control Unit
A Windows based Laptop or PC is needed to configure the devices of Telemotive AG by
Telemotive System Client. It also allows to save the recorded data and to use them offline
later.
Telemotive System Client
The software client is used for configuring the data logger as well as downloading the recorded
data or convert these into your needed file format. An firmware update can be performed by the
Telemotive System Client too to ensure that your devices are always up to date.
blue PiraT2 / blue PiraT2 5E / blue PiraT Mini
The communication between bus systems and control units is monitored and relevant data can
be recorded very precisely with the data logger of Telemotive AG. The collected data are stored
to the logger and can be downloaded via Ethernet to a PC.
The blue PiraT2 is our top-class all-in-one data logger. Seven models cover a wide range of
interfaces.
Additionally, the blue PiraT2 5E offers improved power management and power backup, five
integrated Ethernet ports and super-fast start-up behavior. The blue PiraT2 can be flexibly ex-
panded via Telemotive System Link.
The blue PiraT Mini is smallest data logger in the world with an outstanding functional scope. It
offers a wide range of interfaces, stable temperature behavior, very low energy consumption,
four GBit Ethernet ports, and much more. Different blue PiraT Mini can be flexibly expanded to
one cluster and therefore handled very easily by using Telemotive System Link.
Remote Control Touch (optional)
Operate your blue PiraT Mini or blue PiraT2 data loggers safely and comfortably from the driv-
er’s or passenger seat. Via Telemotive System Link our new remote control becomes part of
your logger network. One remote control can handle all connected loggers.
blue PiraT Remote
While Remote Control Touch is just a control unit for handling unique devices or a TSL network,
the blue PiraT Remote additional has logger functionality by offering internal storage and some
interfaces.
blue PiraT2 Ethernet kit
This optional enhancement Ethernet kit is connected via a FCI cable to the rear side of the blue
PiraT2. With his four Ethernet interfaces it establishes the connection between data logger and
the Video Encoder or one single camera and allows connecting to a Local Area Network (LAN).
In this way the Ethernet port on the front side of the data logger is open. This allows using the
front Ethernet port for communication with the Telemotive System Client and manages the log-
ger.
The Ethernet kit is available for blue PiraT2 only, because blue PiraT2 5E has an integrated
Ethernet switch and four ports at the rear side.
Network camera AXIS P12 / F44 / F41 / 211 / 210 / 207
Network cameras have an Ethernet port and therefore can be connected directly to the data
logger. Up to four cameras are supported to record the video streams. These cameras can be
connected to the four channels of the encoder. The following AXIS camera types are supported:
P12, F44, F41, 211, 210 and 207.

AXIS Q7404 / P7214 Video Encoder
The AXIS Video Encoder is a high performance, four-channel standalone device that integrates
up to four analog cameras (NTSC/PAL) at a time into an IP-based video surveillance system.
Video Encoder and camera are connected via BNC connector.
Both Video Encoders support the compression formats H.264, MJPEG and MPEG-4. Therefore
they are capable to reduce bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising image
quality.
The AXIS Q7404 Video Encoder contains four separate video channels, one for each video in-
put. Each channel has its own IP address.
The AXIS P7214 Video Encoder uses only one IP address for all four channels.
License
For the additional feature Camera Link, an installed license is required. Settings for licensed
features can be performed with a valid license only.
If you need a license for your logger, please contact our sales department (please find the ad-
dress under contact at the last page).

5.4 Setting date and time
Change to the entry [Basic Setup] [3 Date & Time]. Choose the <Time mode> (o) Set
manually. Set up date and time. Confirm the settings with [Save].
Comment:
The time set here is initially only a temporary adjustment. In our system the data logger
is the time master and overwrites the logger time after successfully synchronizing with
the video server.
Figure 5.8: Set date and time manually
You can also display date and time on the video image.
Attention:
Before you start recording always set the date and time in the data logger first.
It is impossible to change the timestamp at recorded video data. This means, the setup of
a new logger time before downloading does not change the time within the video pic-
tures. In this case, the timestamps of the other channels and the video picture timestamp
could not match.
Click [Video] [Video Stream]. Activate both checkboxes Include date and Include time to
activate the display on the video image. Confirm the settings with [Save].
If desired, change format options like <Text color>, <Text background color> and text place.
Confirm the settings with [Save].
