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 / 130D Series /
220D Series / 320D Series / 520D-0.
GV-PA191 PoE
Adapter
The GV-PA191 PoE adapter is designed to
provide power and network connection to the
cameras over a single Ethernet cable.

XV
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
GV-IP Camera H.264 (except GV-MFD110). Once the camera is
connected to GV-System for video management or the camera’s Live
View (Figure 11-3) 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.

XVI
Note for Adjusting Focus and
Zoom
When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws (on Box Camera, Bullet
Camera, Vandal Proof IP Dome and Fixed IP Camera), please do not over
tighten the Focus and Zoom screws. The screws only need to be as tight
as your finger can do it; don't bother using any tools to get them tighter.
Doing so can damage the structure of lens.
For example,
Bullet Camera Fixed IP Camera
The maximum torque value for all the zoom and focus screws is 3.9 to
4.9 N.cm
