B. Optionally purchase a power adapter from GeoVision. See 2.2 Turning on and off
the Power.
2. Use the VGA cable or the DisplayPort cable to connect the unit to the monitor.
Note: The GV-Mobile System supports dual-monitor display. You can connect two monitors
by using the VGA connector and DisplayPort.
3. Connect one end to the Gigabit Ethernet port and the other end to Network by using the
RJ-45 cable.
4. Connect the keyboard and the mouse to the USB ports.
5. Connect the speaker to the Audio Line Out port.
6. Optionally connect the microphone to the Audio Microphone In port for two-way audio with
IP cameras.
7. Insert the 2.5” HDDs or SSDs into the storage slots. For details, see 2.3 Installing the
Storage Drive.
After the unit is powered on, the Power Indicator LED shows constant green.
Before recording, you need to format the storage drive and add it to the recording path of the
system. For formatting the storage drive, see 2.4 Formatting the Storage Drive. For adding
the storage drive to the recording path, see 3.1.1 Adding the Storage Drive to the Recording
Path.

14
2.2 Turning on and off the Power
The GV-Mobile System is designed to connect to the vehicle’s ACC wire. However, you can
optionally purchase a power adapter (AC 100 ~ 240V) from GeoVision for power connection.
2.2.1 Connecting to the ACC Wire
To turn on the GV-Mobile System, connect the vehicle’s ACC and power wires to the unit’s
power input using the supplied 3-pin terminal block. The system will automatically start after
you power on the vehicle for 5 seconds.
After you power off the vehicle for 3 seconds, the system will turn off automatically.
2.2.2 Using the Power Adapter
To turn on and off the GV-Mobile System using an optional power adapter from GeoVision,
follow the steps below.
1. Plug the 3-pin terminal block connected with power adapter to the panel’s power pins. The
GV-Mobile System will be powered on about 5 seconds later.
2. To turn off the GV-Mobile System, shut down the system through the Windows desktop.

15
Using Rocker Switch to Simulate ACC Ignition
For quick control of turning on or off the GV-Mobile System, you can install a rocker switch to
the 3-pin terminal block with the optional power adapter. For the connection and operation,
follow the steps below.
Rocker
Switch
1. For the 3-pin terminal block with optional power adapter, unplug the U-shaped wire from
the Power and Ignition pins.
U-Shaped
Wire
Power IgnitionGround
2. Connect the wires of the rocker switch to the Power and Ignition pins respectively.
3. Plug the terminal block to the panel’s power pins.

16
4. Press the rocker switch to turn on the GV-Mobile System without operating on the
Windows desktop. Once the rocker switch is on, the GV-Mobile System will be powered on
about 3 seconds later.
5. To turn off the GV-Mobile System, press the rocker switch again.
Note: After the power is on, the GV-Mobile System will run a series of self-tests, and a
series of messages may be displayed as various hardware and software subsystems are
activated. After the process is finished, GeoVision software will be loaded automatically and
bring you to the main screen.
