This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the users will be required to correct the interference at their own
expense.
CE Notice
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio
interference in which case the users may be required to take adequate measures.
RoHS Compliance
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive is to forbid the use of hazardous
materials for production. To meet the RoHS Directive requirements, this product is made to be
RoHS compliant.
WEEE Compliance
This product is subject to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
and made compliant with the WEEE requirements.

vii
Naming Definition
GV-DVR / NVR GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The
GV-DVR also refers to GV-Multicam System or GV-Hybrid DVR.
GV-VMS GeoVision Video Management System for IP cameras.
Note for Connecting to GV-VMS / DVR / NVR
The GV-IP Speed Dome is designed to work with and record on GV-VMS / DVR / NVR, a
video management system.
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.

viii
Note for Recording
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IP Seed
Dome.
2. 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 or 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.

ix
Note for Installing Camera Outdoor
When installing GV-IP Speed Dome 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 power, audio and I/O cables are waterproofed using waterproof silicon rubber or the
like.
3. The screws are tightened and the cover is in place after opening the camera cover.

x
Note for Water Resistant Coating on Camera Cover
The camera cover of GV-SD2301 / 2411 is treated with a water resistant coating that prevents
droplets from forming on the surface. The water resistant coating will slowly wear off after
approximately one year depending on the operating environment.
Proper care and precautions can prolong the life of the water resistant coating. Store the
camera in a dry area before installation. Avoid touching the camera cover once you remove
the protective film on it.
Rinsing the Camera Cover
You can clean the camera cover using one of the methods below:
Rinse with water
Use an ultrasonic cleaner
Rinse with pH-neutral cleaning solution (5% diluted)
If there are grease or fingerprints on the camera cover that cannot be removed by rinsing, you
can gently wipe the cover with a clean cotton cloth.
Only wipe the camera cover after it is dried.
Make sure the surface is free of dust or debris before wiping to avoid scratching the cover.
IMPORTANT:
1. Do not wipe the camera cover while it’s wet. Wiping a wet camera cover will damage
the hydrophilic water resistant coating.
2. Do not clean the camera cover with cleaning agents containing organic solvent.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The GV-IP Speed Dome is a network PTZ camera designed for image quality and adaptability
in various environments. Under low-light conditions, image quality is promised with its image
processing tools, such as IR cut filter (ICR), Wide Dynamic Range pro (WDR pro), Backlight
Compensation and noise reduction.
Wide surveillance coverage is made possible with 360° endless panning and 180° tilting
capacity. For GV-SD2301 / 2411 / 2723-IR / 2733-IR, the tilting capacity is from -20° to 200°.
Dome movements such as Preset, Sequence, Auto Pan, Cruise and Tour can be programmed
and activated by schedule. The GV-IP Speed Dome provides variable pan/tilt speeds ranging
from a fast patrol of 400°/460° per second to a slow ramble of 0.1° per second with an 0.2°
pan accuracy for fast and accurate tracking ability.
GeoVision offers a series of GV-IP Speed Dome suited for indoor and outdoor use, and also
optional mounting kits for on-wall, -ceiling and -pole installations.
