An available application note explains how to change easily from BCAM to Basler pylon and guides you through the process

For IEEE 1394 camera users, the new driver stack in Basler pylon version 2.0 will increase system performance in terms of stability and reliability. Another advantage is that with Basler pylon 2.0, a partial rollback of Windows XP Service Pack II is not longer required to get the full IEEE 1394b transmission speed of 800 Mbit. Once the Basler pylon driver is integrated, the use of Basler scout, Basler pilot, or GigE Vision cameras is only a few lines of code away. The Basler pylon API uses the same methods to control both the IEEE1394 and the GigE Vision interfaces. The extensive use of GenICam technology within Basler pylon is the basis for this advantage.

Because the BCAM API and the Basler pylon API are based on a similar grab philosophy, migration has few risks and requires minimal effort. Our application note will guide you through the process of migrating from BCAM to Basler pylon.
