Important
Note for Connecting to GV-System / GV-VMS
The GV-IPCAM H.264 is designed to work with GV-System / GV-VMS, a
video management system. Note the following when GV-IPCAM H.264 is
connected to GV-System / GV-VMS:
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted to the
GV-IP Camera H.264.
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 to the
GV-IP Camera H.264. 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-IPCam H.264 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.

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor
3. It is recommended to use memory cards of the following setting and
specifications:
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.
●Apply a battery backup (UPS) to avoid power outage.
●Use Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10 for better
performance.

Note:
1. Power adapter can be purchased upon request.
2. You can choose to run the wires through a conduit pipe. After you
have threaded all the wires, install the supplied conduit converter and
plastic PG21 conduit connector with a self-prepared 1/2’’ conduit
pipe to the camera. Power will have to be supplied through a PoE
adapter because the power adapter wire does not fit in a 1/2” pipe.
You will have to purchase your own PG21 conduit connector if you
want to use a 3/4” or 1” pipe.

The Vandal Proof IP Dome is designed for outdoors. With the standard
package, you can install the camera on the ceiling.
Rotate to remove the
indicated cap and the
plug inside.
Thread an Ethernet cable (the end with no RJ-45 connector) from
the back panel through the cable seal and re-install the cap.
Use the supplied ruler and
leave about 11 cm of the
Ethernet cable between
the connector and the
cable seal. 11 cm

A. Install the terminal blocks to the power adapter and I/O devices.
For details, see 4. Connecting the Camera later in the
Installation Guide
B. Install the supplied RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet cable.
C. Plug all the connectors to the camera panel.
D. Arrange the wires in the conduit connector and re-install it to the
camera.
IMPORTANT:
1. Keep the unused holes plugged to waterproof the camera and
save the removed plugs.
2. Only thread the wires through their designated holes on the
conduit connector to make sure the wires are properly sealed.
Tip:
1. To make the threading easier, it is advised to thread the wires
in the order described here.
2. Use a pair of pliers to help you pull the wires through the
camera.
Tip: Unscrew the indicated screws and lift the camera to help you
connect the wires.
Connect the wires to the camera.

Replace the silica gel bag and secure the camera cover using
the torx wrench.

IMPORTANT:
1. The gel bag loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is
opened. To prevent the lens from fogging up, replace the silica
gel bag every time you open the camera and conceal the silica
gel bag within 2 minutes of exposing to open air.
2. For each newly replaced silica gel bag, allow it to absorb
moisture for at least 5 hours before operating the camera.
3. Make sure the housing cover is properly secured to prevent
water from entering and damaging the inner housing.
4. If the center of the camera view is less than 25° to the ceiling,
or lower than the grey line (as illustrated below), disassemble
the indicated ring so the view is not obstructed. However, with
the ring disassembled, slight reflections may occur.

Connect the camera to power, network and other wires needed.
There are two ways to supply power to the camera:
●Use a Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapter to connect the camera to
the network, and the power will be provided at the same time.
●Plug the power adapter to the terminal block by inserting the wire with
white lines to the right pin and the other wire to the left pin.

Connecting the Power Cable
The Vandal Proof IP Dome support one digital input and one digital output of
dry contact.
