Naming and Definition
GV-System GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The GV-
System also refers to Multicam System, GV-NVR System, GV-
Hybrid DVR System and GV-DVR System at the same time.
vi

Note for Connecting to GV-System
The GV-Fisheye IP Camera is designed to work with GV-System, a hybrid or digital video
management system. Note the following when the camera is connected to GV-System:
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-Fisheye IP
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.
vii

Note for Recording
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-Fisheye IP
Camera. Make sure the Write recording data into local storage option (see 4.1.1 Video
Settings) 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.
To avoid power outage, it is highly suggested to apply a battery backup (UPS).
For better performance, it is highly suggested to use Micro SD card of MLC NAND
flash, Class 10.
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.
viii

Note for USB Storage and WiFi Adapter
Mind the following limitations and requirements for using USB storage and GV-WiFi Adapter:
1. The USB hard drive must be of 2.5’’ or 3.5’’, version 2.0 or above.
2. The USB hard drive’s storage capacity must not exceed 2TB.
3. USB flash drives and USB hubs are not supported.
4. External power supply is required for the USB hard drive.
5. To connect a GV-WiFi Adapter, make sure it is connected before the camera is powered
on.
ix

Note for Installing Camera
When installing GV-FER outdoor models, 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.
3. The screws are tightened and the cover is in place after opening the camera cover.

4. The silica gel bag loses it effectiveness when the dry camera is opened. To prevent the
lens from fogging up, use the supplied adhesive tap and 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.
5. For each newly replaced silica gel bag, allow it to absorb moisture for at least 5 hours
before operating the camera.
When installing GV-FE indoor models, be sure that:
Keep the indoor camera shielded from rain and moisture.
When installing GV-FE or GV-FER models with IR LED rings, be sure that:
An operating IR LED ring may reach high temperatures of up to 60°C (140°F).
Disconnect the power supply and allow the IR LED ring to cool down before handling
the device.

Chapter 1 Introduction
The fisheye camera allows you to monitor all angles of a location using just one camera. It
can be installed to the ceiling, wall, wall corner and pole. The distorted hemispherical image
of the fisheye camera will be converted into the conventional rectilinear projection.
Without installing any software, you can watch live view and utilize functions such as motion
detection, privacy mask, and alert notification through the Web interface. In addition, the GV-
Fisheye IP Camera seamlessly integrates with the GV-System, providing advanced
monitoring and video management features.
The following GV-Fisheye Cameras are available:
