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 silica 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 gel bag in
camera within 2 minutes of exposing to open air.

Chapter 1 Box Camera
The Box Camera is a series of indoor IP cameras consisting of fixed focal
and varifocal models in different resolutions. The Box Camera supports
lens replacement and features an automatic infrared-cut filter for day and
night surveillance. The super low lux models are capable of displaying
color live view in near darkness. Models equipped with a mini USB port
can be connected wirelessly through a GV-WiFi Adapter (optional). The
WDR Pro models can produce clear image for scenes with contrasting
intensity of lights (see 1.2.1 Wide Dynamic Range Pro for details). Models
using P-Iris allow for precise control of exposure, producing images with
better clarity and contrast. For details on related models, see 1.2 Features.
The Box Camera models are detailed below:

1.2.1 Wide Dynamic Range Pro
Objects may appear as silhouettes when they are backed with intense
lights. The Wide Dynamic Range Pro (WDR Pro) is designed to solve this
problem using a WDR sensor. In GV-BX140DW, GV-BX2400 Series, GV-
BX2600 and GV-BX3400 Series, the WDR sensor is able to process the
image and show details in bright and dark areas at the same time. An
example of WDR Pro in action is shown below.
No WDR: underexposure
WDR: perfect exposure
For GV-IPCam H.264 models that support WDR, the WDR effect is
achieved through software programming.
