3. Overwiev
The following documentation describes the usage of a system composed of an AXIS Video-
Encoder Q7404 or P7214, the AXIS Network-Cameras 207, 210 or 211 and a blue PiraT2 data
logger. The Video-Encoders are used to connect analog (PAL / NTSC) cameras. The network
cameras can be connected directly.
For general points refer to the manual "User Guide". For special functions, appropriate instructions
are available.
The system allows the recording of one to four different videos streams at the same time. To make
it work, the server and the data logger must be connected to each other and configured separately
by a HTML based client. The procedure is explained from chapter 3.
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 between 15
and 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, then 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 from the Video-Encoder during the recording and plugged in
again, the system takes around 11 seconds for the resynchronization.
If the supply voltage is removed from the Video-Encoder during the recording, the server takes
about 54 seconds to be synchronized (after a reconnection).
AXIS camera or Video-Encoder should be operating within the AXIS specification. This is
especially true for power and environmental parameters.
This document refers to blue PiraT2 FW 01.09.01 and blue PiraT2 client version 1.9.1. Some
features depending on model and feature license or may not be available in older versions.
Software updates are frequently available in the blue PiraT Service Center. Please make sure to
use current software.

4. System requirements
Control Unit
A Laptop or a PC is used to configure the devices by a software client. It also allows to save the
recorded data and to use them offline.
blue PiraT2
The blue PiraT2 is an optimized data logger developed by Telemotive AG. The communication of
bus systems and control units are monitored and relevant data can be recorded very precisely with
the blue PiraT2. The collected data are stored on the blue PiraT2 and can be downloaded to a PC
blue PiraT2 Ethernet Kit
This device is connected via a FCI cable to the blue PiraT2 and via Ethernet with the AXIS Server.
This establishes the connection between blue PiraT2 and the AXIS Video-Encoder and allows
connecting to a Local Area Network (LAN).
AXIS Q7404 / P7214 Video Encoder
The AXIS Video Encoder is a powerful standalone device with 4 channels. It integrates 4 analog
cameras simultaneously into an IP-based video surveillance system. It delivers also super video
quality with H.264 and significant savings in bandwidth and storage requirements.
AXIS Q7404 will use 4 different IP addresses for each group of 4 input channels.
AXIS P7214 however will use 1 IP address for each group of 4 input channels.
Network-Cameras
1 to 4 cameras are supported to record the video streams. These cameras can be connected to the
4 channels of the encoder. These cameras are supported: AXIS 207, 210 and 211.
The setup of AXIS Network-Cameras 207/210/211 is similar to the configuration of AXIS Q7404
Video-Encoder.
Camera License
For using the camera feature, a license file must be installed on each blue PiraT2.

5. Setup Video Encoder AXIS Q7404
5.1. Connecting to the Q7404
Connect your PC with the Video-Encoder via Ethernet. The video signal has to be connected to the
Video-Encoder port. Connect the Video-Encoder to the power supply. Wait until the startup is
complete (All LEDs are colored in green).
Cameras AXIS Q7404
Power (acc. AXIS spec.)
PC
Change your PC IP configuration. Use static IP address with the following setting:
IP address: 192.168.1.80
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
5.2. Access to Axis Q7404
Open you browser and type in the following URL: 192.168.0.90
Type in your password and keep it in mind or write it down. If the system ask for a further
authentication (in some cases), please type in the same user and password like before.

bP2_Camera_UserGuide_V1.9.1.doc
After setting the password please login to the Video Encoder
When you logged into the Video Encoder the first time, you can change the language settings if
required.
After your confirmation, you can see the live stream from camera 1.
5.3. Installing the admin user
The blue PiraT2 camera application needs a special user with administrator rights.

blue PiraT2 - Camera User Guide
Version 1.9.1 - 29.01.2014 Page 9
bP2_Camera_UserGuide_V1.9.1.doc
Open “Setup” (1), “Basic Setup” => “Users” (2) and choose “Add…” (3). Name the new user
“admin” and define a password (4). Keep the data in mind or write it down. Choose the option
“Administrator” (5) and click “OK (6). Afterwards, mark the checkbox “Enable anonymous viewer
login (no user name or password required)” (7) and confirm all with “Save” (8).
We recommend these settings:
User name: admin
Password: 2x8bg4
Note:
To be sure to get access to the Video Encoder by the blue PiraT2 please use the properties above.

5.4. Setting date and time
Change to the entry “Date & Time” (9) and activate the checkbox “Set manually” (10).
Set up Date and Time and click “Save” (11).
Comment:
The time set here is initially only a temporary adjustment. In our system, the data logger is the time
master and overwrites it after successful synchronization with the Video-Encoder, with the logger
time.
You can also display the date and time on the video image. The settings for this feature are
described in the following.
Attention:
Always set the blue PiraT2 time before you start logging. 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.
The setup for embedded timestamp has to be done in the Video-Encoder setup. If the date and
time are already set up like described within step 9, 10 and 11 (see above), the format can be set
up under „Date and Time Format Used in Images“. Confirm these settings with “Save”.
Click on “Video Stream” (6) and set up the Overlay Settings. Activate both checkboxes “Include
date” and “Include time” (7). If desired, change the format options like “Text color”, “Background
color”, “Text Place” (8) and so on. Confirm the settings again with “Save” (9).

blue PiraT2 - Camera User Guide
Version 1.9.1 - 29.01.2014 Page 11
bP2_Camera_UserGuide_V1.9.1.doc
The set up for embedded timestamp is finished.
5.5. IP-configuration
Change to the entry “TCP/IP” (12) and use static IP (13) with the following data (14):
IP address: 192.168.1.90
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Confirm your setting with save (15).
Note:
By pressing [Save] the new IP address is set to the Video Encoder and in this moment you loose
the connection to the device!

The AXIS P7214 has only one IP address. The configuration of a camera automatically changes
the settings of the others. It is therefore unnecessary to set the other cameras.
Note:
Change your PCs IP configuration back to dynamic configuration.
