Chapter 1 Introduction
GV-SNVR is an H.264/H.265 Linux-embedded Standalone Network Video Recorder which
records video files directly to the internal hard drive, supporting up to 4 / 8 / 16 channels of
GV-IP Cameras for network surveillance. With the feature of a Full HD HDMI video output,
the GV-SNVR eliminates the need for a separate PC to view and play back video from the
unit. Its USB ports allow you to connect a USB flash drive to import or export system settings,
update firmware, save snapshot files and back up video in AVI format.
Optionally, you can connect a GV-Joystick V2 to control PTZ cameras. Moreover, you can
remotely access the live view through mobile devices or Web browsers with advanced video
features.

Note: H.265 video compression is only supported by GV-SNVR0411 / 0811.
