3. Connecting the Camera
GV-TM0100 can connect to power using either the supplied 12V power adaptor or a PoE
adaptor. Follow the steps below to connect your GV-TM0100 to power and network.
PoE Connection
Use an optional GV-PA191 PoE Adapter to connect the camera to the power and network at
the same time. Two Ethernet cables are required for the connection.
1. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the PoE 10/100 port on the GV-PA191. Connect
the other end of the cable to your camera.
2. Insert one end of the second Ethernet cable into the LAN 10/100 port on the GV-PA191.
Connect the other end of the cable to the hub or router connecting to your computer.
3. Insert the supplied GV-PA191 power adaptor into the terminal block on the GV-PA191.
4. Connect the AC power cord to the power outlet.
When the Power LED on the front panel of the GV-PA191 turns green, you are ready to
access the live view, adjust the image clarity and configure the basics. See Getting Started,
Chapter 2, GV-TM0100 User’s Manual.

4.2 Looking Up the Dynamic IP Address
By default, when GV-TM0100 is connected to LAN with a DHCP server, it is automatically
assigned with a dynamic IP address. Follow the steps below to look up its IP address.
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN with
GV-TM0100.
1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program included on the Software DVD.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices connected in
the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.

4.3 Configuring the IP Address
By default, GV-TM0100 connected to LAN without a DHCP server, is assigned with a static IP
address of 192.168.0.10.
Follow the steps below to assign a new IP address to avoid IP conflict with other GeoVision
devices.
Note: If your router supports the DHCP server, GV-TM0100 will obtain a dynamic IP
address from the DHCP server each time it connects to the LAN, instead of using
192.168.0.10.
1. Open your web browser, and type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10
2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click Apply.
3. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network settings.

Accessing the Camera
4. Select Static IP address. Type the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router/Gateway, Primary
DNS and Secondary DNS.
5. Click Apply. GV-TM0100 is now accessible by entering the assigned IP address on the
web browser.
Important:
1. If Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled, you need to know which IP address the
camera will get from the DHCP server or ISP to log in. If your camera in installed in a
LAN, use the GV-IP Device Utility to look up its current dynamic address. See
Checking the Dynamic IP Address, Chapter 2, GV-TM0100 User’s Manual.
If your GV-TM0100 uses a public dynamic IP address, via PPPoE, use the Dynamic
DNS service to obtain a domain name linked to the camera’s changing IP address
first. For details on Dynamic DNS Server settings, see Advanced TCP/IP, Chapter 4,
GV-TM0100 User’s Manual.
2. If Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you
may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the network
settings again. Refer to section 7 to see how to restore to factory default settings.
