Note for Connecting to GV-VMS / DVR / NVR
The GV-QFER12700 is designed to work with GV-VMS / DVR / NVR, a video management
system. Note the following when the camera is connected to GV-VMS / DVR / NVR:
Once the camera is connected to the GV-VMS / DVR / NVR, the resolution set on the GV-VMS
/ DVR / NVR 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-VMS
/ DVR / NVR is interrupted.
Note: Currently, only GV-VMS, applied with the patches, supports GV-QFER12700.
Note for Recording
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.
The stored data can be lost if the memory card is not accessed for a long period of time.
Back up your data periodically if you seldom access the memory card.
Memory cards are expendable and their durability varies according to the conditions of
the installed site and how they are used. Back up your data regularly and replace the
memory card annually.
To avoid power outage, it is highly recommended to apply a battery backup (UPS).
For better performance, it is highly recommended 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.
To ensure smooth network usage, do not access the live view from more than 20
connections.
