Hi @nbzuk0 and welcome to the machine vision family 
does the camera open at all? If the camera opens, it is normal to see the camera red (it’s now in use, so it is inaccessible for others):
You should then be able to start grabbing images by clicking the play button above the display.
Please have a look at the GenICam Browser manual here:

and get some hints regarding GenICam cameras in general here:
