The GV-GPS Receiver is a Global Position
System receiver. With the GV-GPS Receiver,
you can perform GPS tracking and location
verification of the GV-Video Server. Two types
of interfaces are available: UART (for
GV-VS04H / GV-VS14) and RS-232 (for
GV-VS12).
Note: The GV-GPS Receiver is not supported
by GV-VS11 and GV-VS2420 / 2400.
Working with the GV-Relay V2, the GV-Video
Server is capable of driving the loads of relay
outputs over 5 volts.
The WiFi USB Adaptor is designed to connect
the GV IP devices, such as GV-Video Server or
GV-Compact DVR, to the wireless network.
The GV-PA191 is designed to provide power to
the IP device through a single Ethernet cable.
The GV-PA191 is only supported by GV-VS04H,
and GV-VS12.
With the GV-VR605A, you can install GV-Video
Server in the car. The GV-Video Server will
supply and maintain a 12V voltage to the
GV-Video Server and its connected cameras.
Note: The GV-VR605A is not supported by
GV-VS2420 / 2400.
