Naming Definition
GV-System
GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The
GV-System also refers to GV-Multicam System, GV-NVR System,
GV-DVR System and GV-Hybrid DVR System at the same time.
Note for Connecting to GV-System
The GV-IP Speed Dome is designed to work with and record on GV-System, a hybrid or digital
video management system.
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IP Speed
Dome. When the GV-IP Speed Dome is connected to GV-System for video management
or when the Live View (Figure 3-1) 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. To continue
recording when the live view is accessed or when it is accessed by GV-System, enable
the Record to the local storage when live view is accessed option on Video Settings’
page. See 5.1.1 Video Setting.
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.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The GV-IP Speed Dome (GV-SD220/GV-SD220-S) is a network PTZ camera designed for
image quality and adaptability in various environments. This camera offers the image of
1080p at 30 fps, 720p at 60 fps and 20x optical zoom, capable of showing smooth live view
with great detail. In low-light environments, 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 90° tilting
capacity. Dome movements such as Preset, Sequence, Auto Pan, Cruise and Tour can be
programmed and activated by schedule. You can create multiple dome movement modes and
have different modes enabled at different time slots. The GV-IP Speed Dome provides
variable pan/tilt speeds ranging from a fast patrol of 460° per second to a slow ramble of 0.5°
per second with 0.2° pan accuracy for fast and accurate tracking ability.
The GV-IP Speed Dome comes with an indoor model, an outdoor model and also optional
mounting kits for outdoor installations on wall, ceiling and pole.
