Note for Connecting to GV-System / GV-VMS
The GV-Fisheye IP Camera is designed to work with GV-System / GV-VMS,
a video management system. Note the following when the camera is
connected to GV-System / GV-VMS:
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the
GV-Fisheye IP Camera.
2. Once the camera is connected to GV-System / GV-VMS, the resolution
set on GV-System / GV-VMS 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 GV-System / GV-VMS
is interrupted.
Note for Recording
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the
GV-Fisheye IP Camera. Make sure the Write recording data into local
storage option is enabled. If this option is disabled, the camera will stop
recording to the memory card while the live view is accessed through
Web browsers or other applications. For details, see Video Settings,
Administrator Chapter, GV-Fisheye IP Camera User’s Manual online.
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.
●To avoid power outage, it is highly suggested to apply a battery
backup (UPS).
●For better performance, it is highly suggested 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.

Mind the following limitations and requirements for using USB storage and
GV-WiFi Adapter:
When installing GV-FER outdoor models, be sure that:
Note for USB Storage and WiFi Adapter
3. It is recommended to use memory cards of the following setting and
specifications:
1. The USB hard drive must be of 2.5” or 3.5”, version 2.0 or above.
2. The USB hard drive’s storage capacity must not exceed 2 TB.
3. USB flash drives and USB hubs are not supported.
4. External power supply is required for the USB hard drive.
5. To connect a GV-WiFi Adapter, make sure it is connected before the
camera is powered on.
IR LED Ring
●Apply a battery backup (UPS) to avoid power outage.
●Use Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10 for better
performance.
Note for Installing Camera Outdoor
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.
3. The screws are tightened and the cover is in place after opening the
camera cover.
4. An operating IR LED ring may reach high temperatures of up to 60°C
(140°F). Disconnect the power supply and allow the IR LED ring to cool
down before handling the device.
5. The silica gel bag loses it effectiveness when the dry camera is opened.
To prevent the lens from fogging up, use the supplied adhesive tap and
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.
