BLUEPIRAT SERIES | CAMERA USER GUIDE/ page 6 of 93
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
BLUEPIRAT Rapid
BLUEPIRAT Mini
BLUEPIRAT2 5E
BLUEPIRAT2
BLUEPIRAT Remote
of MAGNA Telemotive GmbH. 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.
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 120 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 120 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 System Client, which is
valid together.
This document refers to firmware version 05.00.01 and the System Client from version 5.0.1.
Some features depending on model and feature license or may not be available in older ver-
sions.
Software updates and user guides for other, optional, licensed enhancements are available in
our Service Center. (Please find the address under Contact at the last page.)
To ensure the most reliable operation of your system as possible, please make sure to use al-
ways current firmware and software versions.

4 System requirements
Network camera AXIS P12 / F44 / F41 / 211 / 210 / 207
Network cameras have an Ethernet port and therefore can be connected directly to the data log-
ger. Up to four cameras are supported to record the video streams. These cameras can be con-
nected 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.
The communication between bus systems and control units is monitored, and relevant data can
be recorded very precisely with the data logger. The collected data are stored to the logger and
can be downloaded via Ethernet to a PC.
Control Unit
You need a Windows based Laptop or PC to configure the devices by the System Client. It
also allows to save the recorded data and to use them offline later.
System Client
Update, configure and read out your data loggers with System Client. Save time with central ad-
ministration of your software products. System Client is your key to success for using all our
products!
BLUEPIRAT Rapid
High-performance multi-bus data logger for modern vehicle architectures based on Automotive
Ethernet. With up to 3 TB internal memory and supreme recording performance. Robust and
compact for in-vehicle use.
Due to the increasing complexity of driver assistance systems and the growing number of info-
tainment applications, the data traffic between ECUs in the most recent vehicle models has
grown significantly. Consequently, besides the various classic bus systems, modern vehicle ar-
chitectures are based on Automotive Ethernet according to BroadR-Reach / IEEE 802.3
100(0)Base-T1, which can keep up with the growing bandwidth demand.
Power Backup
The Power Backup is a special component, which is designed to bridge short voltage interrup-
tions. It is connected upstream of the data loggers on the voltage side, and must be connected
to them via a dedicated LS CAN port for controlling.
BLUEPIRAT Mini
The BLUEPIRAT 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,

BLUEPIRAT SERIES | CAMERA USER GUIDE/ page 8 of 93
four GBit Ethernet ports, and much more. Different blue PiraT Mini can be expanded flexibly to
one cluster and therefore handled very easily by using System Link.
BLUEPIRAT2
The BLUEPIRAT2 is our top-class all-in-one data logger. Seven models cover a wide range of
interfaces. (Device is EOL)
BLUEPIRAT2 5E
Additionally, the BLUEPIRAT2 5E offers improved power management and power backup, five
integrated Ethernet ports and super-fast start-up behavior. The BLUEPIRAT2 can be expanded
flexibly via System Link. (Device is EOL)
Remote Control Touch (optional)
Operate your BLUEPIRAT data loggers safely and comfortably from the driver’s or passenger
seat. Via System Link our new remote control becomes part of your logger network. One remote
control can handle all connected loggers.
BLUEPIRAT Remote (optional)
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. (Device is EOL)
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).
4.1 Accessing a connected camera / camera server
If the camera / camera server is connected to a data logger and has to be modified, it can be
reached by the IP address of the logger and port 11400.
To access the configuration just put the IP address and port into your browser, e.g.:
192.168.0.233:11400
If there are more cameras / camera server connected, they can be reached by the ports 11401,
11402, 11403.

BLUEPIRAT SERIES | CAMERA USER GUIDE/ page 14 of 93
Set IP address to 192.168.1.90 and set date and time manually
Figure 5.5 Defining the IP address and setting the date and time
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.
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 pictures. In this case,
the timestamps of the other channels and the video picture timestamp could not match.
Click on [next].
Hint:
If you change the IP address, you will lose the connection to the network camera.
To connect to the Main Unit again, change the IP address to 192.168.1.80 in the [Internet Proto-
