1.1 About this Document
Applicability
This document applies to cameras that have the designation "BIP2" as part of their model name.
See the specification tables in Section 8 on page 103 for a complete list of the camera models
covered by this document.
This document is intended for administrative users of the camera. Previous experience with
networking will be a great help when using this document.
This document assumes that you have already followed the instructions in the Basler IP Fixed Box
Camera Installation Guide to install your camera.
You can download the latest version of this manual along with versions in other languages from the
Downloads section of the Basler website: www.baslerweb.com/manuals
Firmware
This document applies to cameras with version 3.14.0 firmware. Cameras with different versions of
the firmware may have different features than those described here.
To ensure that your camera’s functionality is up to date, you should periodically check the
Downloads section of the Basler website to see if a firmware update file is available. The website
address is: www.baslerweb.com/BIP_firmware
You can view the current firmware version in a camera, and you can apply a firmware update in two
different ways:
 By using the Basler Surveillance Web Client.
After you access a camera using the client (as described in Section 3.2 on page 10), you can
use the Info tab in the System parameters group to view the current firmware version in the
camera (see Section 3.11.1 on page 72).
If you need to update the firmware, you can use the Start Firmware Update button on the
Management tab in the System parameters group to apply a new firmware file to the camera
(as described in Section 3.11.3 on page 74).
 By using the Basler IP Camera Finder software (version 1.7 or higher).
An advantage of the BIP Finder software is that it will let you view the firmware versions on
several cameras at once, and it will let you apply a new firmware file to several cameras
simultaneously.
Refer to the BIP Finder help file for information about how to view firmware versions and how
to update the camera firmware (the help file is a separate file that is included along with the BIP
Finder software).
The BIP Finder software is available in the Downloads section of the Basler website:
