Note for Adjusting Focus and Zoom
When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws on Bullet Camera, do not
over tighten the Focus and Zoom screws. The screws only need to be as
tight as your finger can do it. It is not necessary to use any tools to get
them tighter. Doing so can damage the structure of lens.
For example,
Zoom Screw
Focus Screw
The maximum torque value for all the zoom and focus screws is 0.049 N.m
vi

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor
When installing the cameras outdoor, be sure that:
1. The camera is set up above the junction box to prevent water from
entering the camera along the cables.
2. Any PoE, power, audio and I/O cables are waterproofed using
waterproof silicon rubber or the like.
vii

Note for Closing the Bullet Camera
Cover
To ensure that the camera performs its full capacity against water and dust,
tightly close and lock the camera cover as indicated below.
Note for Silica Gel Bags
1. The silica gel bag loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is
opened. To prevent the lens from fogging up, replace the silica gel
bag every time you open the camera, and conceal the gel bag in
camera within 2 minutes of exposing to open air.
2. When the camera is shipped, a silica gel bag will be included inside
the camera. For the first-time user, replace the silica gel bag prior to
the installation to avoid foggy live view.

Camera
The screw on Target Bullet

The screw on GV-EBL2101 /
2111 / 3101 / 5101
The screw on GV-BL3700 /

Note for Recording
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in
the GV-IP Camera (except GV-IR Arctic Box Camera and Target
Series, which are not equipped with a memory card slot). Make sure
the Write recording data into local storage option (see 4.1.1
Video Settings, GV-IPCam Firmware Manual) is enabled. If this
option is disabled, the camera will stop recording to the memory
card while the live view is accessed through Web browsers or other
applications.
2. Mind the following when using a memory card for recording:
Recorded data on the memory card can be damaged or lost if
the data are accessed while the camera is under physical shock,
power interruption, memory card detachment or when the
memory card reaches the end of its lifespan. No guarantee is
provided for such causes.
The stored data can be lost if the memory card is not accessed
for a long period of time. Back up your data periodically if you
seldom access the memory card.
Memory cards are expendable and their durability varies
according to the conditions of the installed site and how they are
used. Back up your data regularly and replace the memory card
annually.
Replace the memory card when its read/write speed is lower
than 6 MB/s or when the memory card is frequently undetected
by the camera.
3. It is recommended to use memory cards of the following setting and
specifications:
Apply a battery backup (UPS) to avoid power outage.
Use Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10 for better
performance.

Chapter 1 Bullet Camera (Part I)
The Bullet Cameras are specifically designed for outdoors and are
weatherproof (IP66 or IP67). They are equipped with IR LEDs for infrared
illumination in night vision applications. The models described in this
chapter use auto iris, which allows for automatic control of exposure.
The WDR Pro models enhance the image by processing contrasting
intensity of light. The super low lux models can produce color live view in
near darkness. The motorized varifocal lens models allow the user to
adjust the focus and zoom through the Web interface.
