Options
Optional devices can expand your camera’s capabilities and versatility.
Contact your dealer for more information.
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.
Wall Mount Bracket An L-shaped bracket designed for wall mount
installation of the Vandal Proof IP Dome and the
Fixed IP Dome.
Housing Cover The housing cover is designed for Vandal Proof IP
Dome to provide shielding to the camera. Two
types are available: transparent and smoked.

viii
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
Box Camera, Mini Fixed Dome (except GV-MFD110), Bullet
Camera, Vandal Proof IP Dome, Fixed IP Dome and Cube Camera.
Once the camera is connected to GV-System for video management
or the camera’s Live View is accessed through the Web browser (see
7. Accessing the Camera in the Quick Start Guide), 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 GV-System, the resolution set on
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 GV-System is interrupted.

ix
Note for Adjusting Focus and
Zoom
When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws (on Box Camera, Mini Fixed
Dome, 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,
