1. 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 Mini Fixed Dome & Mini Fixed Rugged Dome

The Mini Fixed Dome (GV-MFD) and Mini Fixed Rugged Dome (GV-MDR) are fixed, mini-sized ceiling-mount network cameras.

The GV-MDR series is designed for outdoor surveillance, conforming to IK10 and IP67 standards. The camera is adjustable in 3 axis (pan, tilt and rotate) and can be connected through PoE.

The GV-MFD series is designed for indoor surveillance. Adjustable in 2 axis (pan and tilt), the camera also supports PoE.

The super low lux models can provide color live view in near darkness and the WDR Pro models can process scenes of contrasting intensity of lights. For details, see 1.2 Features.
