Connecting video equipment to the data logger
Depending on the logger model you have several ways to connect the network camera or Video
Encoder to the logger.
BLUEPIRAT Mini:
It is possible to use one of the front Ethernet ports (
ETH #1 / TSL
or
ETH #2
/ TSL
) or one of the back ports (
ETH #3
or
ETH #4
).
BLUEPIRAT2 5E:
It is possible to use the front Ethernet port (
ETH #1 / TSL
) or one of the back
ports (
ETH #2
to
ETH #5
).
BLUEPIRAT2:
It is possible to use the
Gigabit-Ethernet
port on the front side or the
Ethernet
kit
on the back.
At the BLUEPIRAT2 / BLUEPIRAT2 5E the back ports should be preferred. In this case the front
port still can be used for access to the logger while the Video Encoder is recording data. This
alternative is described in the following.
Connect the Gigabit-Ethernet port of the logger via an Ethernet cable with the Ethernet port of
your PC / laptop. The data logger is configured as a DHCP server by default.
Connect the logger via the affiliated power harness (
red/+/clamp 30
and
black/-/clamp 31
) with
a power supply (e.g., the vehicle battery).
Connect the Ethernet kit with the FCI port of the BLUEPIRAT2 (rear side). Connect the Ethernet
kit with the network camera or the Video Encoder.
When using a Video Encoder the network camera can be connected to its BNC connector num-
ber 1. Connect the Video Encoder and if required even the network camera to the according
power supply. The Video Encoder is starting. Wait until all its LEDs turn green.
