2Hardware Installation
Note: The fisheye camera is designed for indoor use only.
The GV-Fisheye IP Camera is designed to be mounted on the ceiling, wall or
ground. There are two ways to mount the camera on the ceiling, Hard
Ceiling Mount and In-Ceiling Mount. Make sure the ceiling has enough
strength to support the fisheye camera.
Hard Ceiling Mount
1. Place the installation sticker on the ceiling board. The 3 red dots
indicate the location of the screws.
2. At the 3 red dots, drill a hole slightly smaller than the plastic screw
anchors provided.
3. Insert the 3 plastic screw anchors in the drilled holes.
4. Secure the fisheye camera with the 3 hard ceiling mount screws
provided.
5. Place the camera cover for hard ceiling mount on top of the camera
and tighten the screws with the security torx provided.

Wall Mount Ground Mount

In-Ceiling Mount
Wall Mount and Ground Mount
In-Ceiling Mount allows the GV-Fisheye IP Camera to be mounted into
the ceiling, revealing a small portion of the camera. In-Ceiling Mount
requires the ceiling board to be between 0.5 – 3.0 cm (0.2 – 1.18 in).
To mount the camera on a wall, follow the instructions in Hard Ceiling
Mount. For ground mount, simply place the camera on a flat surface such
as a conference table.
1. Place the installation sticker on the ceiling board, and cut the circle
part out of the ceiling.
2. Align the 3 support brackets with the holes on the back of the camera
and secure using the in-ceiling mount screws provided.
3. Place the fisheye camera into the ceiling opening.
4. On the back side, make sure the black plastic clips are slightly above
the ceiling board and pointing outward.
5. From the front side of the camera, tighten the screws.
6. Place the camera cover for in-ceiling mount on top of the camera and
tighten the 3 screws.
Hint: Mount the fisheye camera in the middle of the wall to have an
excellent overview. Or ensure the camera is focused on the most important
areas of the room as directly as possible to have the desired detailed
recognition.

3Connecting the Power Cables
You can use a Power over Ethernet (PoE) adaptor to connect the
GV-Fisheye IP Camera on the network, and the power will be provided over
the network cable. Alternatively, you can use a standard network cable to
connect the camera to your network, and then follow the steps below to
connect to power using the 5-pin data cable and the power adaptor provided.
1. Insert the yellow wire to the pin on the right-side of the terminal block
and the orange wire to the pin on the left-side of the terminal block.
2. Use a small flat-tip screwdriver to secure the screws above the pins.
3. Connect the DC 12V Power Adaptor to the 3-Pin Terminal Block.

4Accessing the GV-Fisheye IP Camera
Once installed, your GV-Fisheye IP Camera is accessible on a network.
Make sure your PC has good network connection, and meet this system
requirement:
Follow these steps to assign an IP address for the camera and access the
Web interface:
Note: If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0, additional settings
are required. Please refer to Settings for Internet Explorer 8, Appendix A,
GV-Fisheye IP Camera User Manual.
Note: The power status LED will not be visible unless the outer shell of the
camera body is removed.
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x or later
1. Open your web browser, and type the default IP address:
http://192.168.0.10. The computer must be under the same network
as the camera.
2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin.
Click Apply.
3. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network
settings.

4. Select Static IP address. Type IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Router/Gateway, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS in the Configure
connection parameters section.
5. Click Apply. The camera is now accessible by entering the assigned
IP address on Internet Explorer 7.x or later.
6. To enable the updating of images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you
must set your browser to allow ActiveX Controls and perform a
one-time installation of GeoVision’s ActiveX component onto your
computer.
• Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE should only be enabled if you know which
IP address the camera will get from the DHCP server or ISP. Otherwise, you
must use the Dynamic DNS service to obtain a domain name linked to the
camera’s changing IP address first.
• If Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE is enabled and you cannot access the
camera, you may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then
perform the network settings again. Refer to section 7 to see how to restore
to factory default settings.
