1. Overview
The autoIP™ GV-NC-201VO network camera provides high quality, 1.3 megapixel
resolution video in the most demanding light conditions. High video quality is
achieved by coupling a 1/3” Ex-View-HAD CCD progressive scan image sensor
with an IR cut lter and Wide Dynamic Range capability. H.264 compression retains
the high video quality at a low data rate. The anti-vandal housing with IP66 rating
provides a rugged package for both indoor and outdoor applications. Power over
Ethernet (PoE) reduces installation time and costs. The camera is compatible with
the userfriendly autoIP™ open platform video management software for quick plug
and play installation.

4 Installation
Please read the instructions provided in this chapter thoroughly before installing the
Anti-Vandal Network Camera.
4.1 Power and Ehternet Cable Connection
Power Connection
Make sure the camera’s power cable is correctly and rmly connected; refer to
the pin denition table in section 2.2 Camera’s Connectors. If using Power over
Ethernet (PoE), make sure Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) is in use in the network.
Ethernet Cable Connection
Use of Category 5 Ethernet cable is recommended for network connection; to have
best transmission quality, cable length shall not exceed 100 meters. Connect one
end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector of the IP Dome Camera, and the
other end of the cable to the network switch or PC.
Check the status of the link indicator and activity indicator LEDs; if the LEDs are
unlit, please check LAN connection.
Green Link Light indicates good network connection.
Orange Activity Light ashes for network activity indication.
NOTE: In some cases, you may need to use an Ethernet crossover cable
when connecting the IP Dome Camera directly to the PC.
