Note for Installing the Camera Outdoor
When installing GV-TM0100 outdoor, mind the following:
1. Set the camera above the junction box to prevent water from entering the camera along
the cables.
2. Waterproof the PoE and power cables with waterproof silicon rubber or the like.
3. 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. The
silica gel bag loses it effectiveness when the dry camera is opened.

Chapter 1 Introduction
GV-TM0100 is an outdoor thermal IP camera capable of producing black-and-white
images based on the detected temperature of the people, vehicles and environment.
Unlike traditional cameras that rely on visible light, GV-TM0100 is unaffected by the
lighting conditions and allows you to detect movements even in complete darkness and
backlit scenes.
Ideal for border surveillance and sparsely populated areas, GV-TM0100 can detect
human-sized targets at a distance of 1450 m (4757 ft) and vehicles at 1850 m (6070 ft).
GV-TM0100 can be easily configured through its Web interface and you can record and
play back recordings using the GV-VMS software included in the standard package.

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.
Figure 1-10
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.
5. 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.
