IP camera.
3. Double-click your GV-IP camera in the GV-IP Device Utility list. This
dialog box appears.

Note for Adjusting Focus and
Zoom
When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws, do not over tighten the
Focus and Zoom screws. The screws only need to be as tight as your
finger can do it. It is not necessary to use any tools to get them tighter.
Doing so can damage the structure of lens.
The maximum torque value for all the zoom and focus screws is 0.049 N.m

viii
Note for Installing Camera
Outdoor
When installing the camera outdoor, 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.

ix
3. After opening the camera cover, ensure the screws are tightened
and the cover is in place.
4. Make sure the housing cover is properly secured to prevent water
from entering and damaging the inner housing.

x
Note for Silica Gel Bags
1. The silica gel bag loses it effectiveness when the dry camera is
opened. To prevent the lens from fogging up, 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.
2. When the camera is shipped, a silica gel bag will be included inside
the camera. For the first-time user, replace the silica gel bag prior to
the installation to avoid foggy live view.
Note for TV-out Function
Some cameras have a TV-out connector. The TV-out function can only be
used during installation to adjust the focus of the camera. To use the TV
out function, connect the supplied black BNC wire to a monitor and select
your signal format (NTSC or PAL) at the TV Out field on the Web interface.
The default signal format is NTSC. For details, see 4.1.1 Video Settings,
GV-IPCam Firmware Manual. The TV-out wire must be removed before
you secure the housing cover.

xi
Note for Avoiding IR Reflection
For GV-VD4711 / 5711, to avoid IR reflection and improve camera night
view, take precautions for installing the camera on the wall and ceiling. The
minimum distances between the camera body and walls, any objects or
light sources are:
25 cm (0.82 ft) to the sides;
200 cm (6.56 ft) right below the IR LED (when installing on the
wall), or the rear of the IR LED (when installing on the ceiling).

vandal resistance and IP67 ingress protection. They provide superior night
vision with their high power LEDs and allow up to 20 m (65.6 ft), 25 m (82
ft), 30 m (98.4 ft) effective IR distance. The super low lux models are able
to display color live view in dear darkness. The WDR Pro models can
process scenes with contrasting intensity of lights. The motorized
varifocal models support remote focus and zoom adjustment. The arctic
models can withstand extreme temperatures.
These Vandal Proof IP Domes can be installed on the ceiling using the

to purchase your own PG21 conduit connector if you want to use 3/4” or
1” pipe.
