Naming and Definition
GV-System GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software.
The GV-System also refers to GV-Multicam System,
GV-NVR System, GV-DVR System and GV-Hybrid
DVR System at the same time.
Options
Optional devices can expand your camera’s capabilities and versatility.
Contact your dealer for more information.
Device Description
GV-IR LED
A mountable infrared LED device that improves
image performance of Box Cameras under low
light conditions. Note that the GV-IR LED is only
compatible with GV-BX110D and GV-IR LED T2
is compatible with GV-BX120D / 220D / 320D.
GV-PA191 PoE

Note for Connecting to GV-System
The GV-IPCAM H.264 is designed to work with GV-System, a hybrid or
digital video management system. Note the following when GV-IPCAM
H.264 is connected to GV-System:
1. Normally, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the
Box Camera, Bullet Camera, PT Camera, PTZ Camera and Vandal
Proof Camera. Once the camera is connected to GV-System for
video management or the camera’s Live View (Figure 9-3) is
accessed through the Web browser, the recording to the memory card
will be stopped and the recording will be taken control by GV-System.
When the connection between the camera and GV-System is
interrupted, the recording to the memory card will be resumed to back
up the images on the camera.
2. Once the camera is connected to the GV-System, the resolution set
on the GV-System will override the resolution set on the camera’s
Web interface. You can only change the resolution settings through
the Web interface when the connection to the GV-System is
interrupted.
xii

Note for Firmware Upgrade
Before you upgrade the firmware, please follow these instructions:
1. The firmware upgrade must be performed on the LAN.
2. Stop monitoring of GV-IPCAM H.264.
3. Stop all the remote connections including Center V2, VSM, ViewLog
Server and 3GPP.
4. Stop the connection to GV-System.
The failure to follow the above instructions may cause damages to the GV-
IPCAM H.264. For details on firmware upgrade, see 12.1 Upgrading
System Firmware in the User’s Manual.
If firmware upgrade fails, you will need to restore the camera to the default
settings. For this see 12.3 Restoring to Factory Default Settings in the
User’s Manual.
