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. Normally, 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 11-3) 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. 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 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.
