Note for Connecting to GV-VMS
The GV-SV48000 is designed to work with GV-VMS, a video management system. Note the
following when the camera is connected to GV-VMS:
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in GV-SV48000.
2. Once the camera is connected to the GV-VMS, the resolution set on the 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 the GV-VMS is
interrupted.
Note for Recording
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory cards inserted in the GV-SV48000.
Make sure the Record to the local storage always as a secondary backup option is
enabled in Monitoring Settings. 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.
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).
•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.
•It is recommended to use Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10 for optimal
performance.

Note for Installing Camera
When installing GV-SV48000, 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.
3. The screws are tightened and the cover is in place after opening the camera cover.
Note for Silica Gel Bags
1. The silica gel bag loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is opened. To prevent the
lens from fogging up, use the supplied adhesive tape and replace the silica gel bag every
time you open the camera, and conceal the gel bag in the 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
first-time users, replace the silica gel bag prior to the installation to avoid foggy live view.
