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.
