2 Accessing the Camera
The following instructions assume that you have used the Basler IP Camera Installation Guide to
install your camera and that you know either the IP Address or the host name of your camera.
Your camera can be accessed from most standard operating systems using a web browser. The
recommended browser is Windows™ Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.
Accessing the Camera From a Web Browser
1. Start your web browser.
2. If you know the IP Address of your camera, type the IP Address into the Address field of your
browser and press the Enter key. For example: http:/172.17.1.44
(If you don’t know the IP address you can find it using the Basler BIP Finder software as
described in the Basler IP Camera Installation Guide.)
If you know the host name of your camera and if your network has a properly configured domain
name server, type the host name into the Address field of your browser and press the Enter key.
For example, for a camera with a host name of Basler-12345678 you would enter:
http://basler-12345678
3. Your browser will connect to the camera’s web server and the Basler Surveillance Web Client
will be displayed. Assuming that the camera is set to the defaults, a live MJPEG video stream
will be displayed in the Live Stream 0 tab as shown below.
