XVIII
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. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in
the GV-IP Camera H.264 (except GV-MFD110 and GV-IR Arctic Box
Camera). Once the camera is connected to GV-System for video
management or the camera’s Live View (Figure 12-3) is accessed
through the Web browser, the recording to the memory card will be
stopped and the recording will be taken control by GV-System. The
recording to the memory card will only be resumed when the
connection between the camera and GV-System is interrupted. To
continue recording when the live view is accessed or when the
camera is connected to GV-System, enable the Record to the local
storage when live view is accessed option on Video Setting’s page.
See 14.1.1 Video Settings.
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.
