Naming and Definition

GV-System	GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The GV-System also refers to GV-Multicam System, GV-NVR, GV-DVR and GV-Hybrid DVR at the same time.
GV-VMS Geo	Vision Video Management System for IP cameras.

Note for Connecting to GV-System / GV-VMS

The GV-IPCAM is designed to work with GV-System / GV-VMS, a hybrid or digital video management system. Note the following when the camera is connected to GV-System / GV-VMS:

1 By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IPCAM (except GV-IR Arctic Box Camera and Target Series, which are not equipped with a memory card slot).
2 Once the camera is connected to the GV-System / GV-VMS, the resolution set on the GV-System / GV-VMS will override the resolution set on the camera's Web interface. You can only change the resolution settings through the Web interface when the connection to the GV-System / GV-VMS is interrupted.

Note for Recording

1 By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IP Camera (except GV-IR Arctic Box Camera and Target Series, which are not equipped with a memory card slot). Make sure the Write recording data into local storage option (see 3.1.1 Video Settings) is enabled. If this option is disabled, the camera will stop recording to the memory card while the live view is accessed through Web browsers or other applications.

2 Mind the following when using a memory card for recording:

• Recorded data on the memory card can be damaged or lost if the data are accessed while the camera is under physical shock, power interruption, memory card detachment or when the memory card reaches the end of its lifespan. No guarantee is provided for such causes.
• The stored data can be lost if the memory card is not accessed for a long period of time. Back up your data periodically if you seldom access the memory card.
• Memory cards are expendable and their durability varies according to the conditions of the installed site and how they are used. Back up your data regularly and replace the memory card annually.
• Replace the memory card when its read/write speed is lower than 6 MB/s or when the memory card is frequently undetected by the camera.

3 It is recommended to use memory cards of the following setting and specifications:

• Apply a battery backup (UPS) to avoid power outage.
• Use Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10 for better performance.

Note for GV-BX2600

• Sharpness: Adjusts the sharpness of the image
• Gamma: Adjusts the relative proportions of bright and dark areas
• White balance: The camera automatically adjusts the color to be closest to the image you are viewing. You can choose one of the four presets: Auto, Outdoor, Indoor, and Fluorescent. You can also choose Manual to adjust the white balance manually.
• Flicker less: The camera automatically matches the frequency of your camera's image to the frequency of indoor light sources, e.g. fluorescent lighting. You can also select 50 Hz or 60 Hz manually. If these don't match, faint light and dark bars may appear in your

images. Check the power utility to determine which frequency is used.

■ Image Orientation: Changes the image orientation on the Live View window.

- Slowest Shutter Speed: Shutter speed controls the amount of the lights enters the image sensor and directly impacts the quality of image presentation. A slow shutter speed allows higher light exposure that creates a brighter overall image by blurring moving objects and bringing out background details, and a faster shutter speed lowers color and image clarity in order to capture motions. The minimum shutter speed ranges from 1/5 to 1/8000 sec. In low light conditions, a fast shutter speed will lower color quality and image clarity. In this case, select the Auto option for automatic shutter control or select Auto (High Speed Mode) for a faster automatic shutter control.

Note: For GV-EVD5100 and GV-EFD5101, refer to the description of Noise Reduction in 4.1.1 Video Settings.

- Wide Dynamic Range: adjusts and generates clear live view when the scene contains very bright and very dark areas at the same time. Select Auto (Strong) to bring out details in the darks areas of the

scene, select Auto (Weak) to bring out less detail in the dark area and at the same time keep the bright areas from overexposure, or select Auto (Normal) for a balanced effect. Select Close to disable the function.

• Defog: Select Auto to automatically enhance the visibility of images. Select Close to disable the function.
• Low Lux Enhancement: Select Auto for the camera to automatically enhance the live view under insufficient light. Select Close to disable the function. The default setting is Close.
• Zoom: Click the Zoom In and Zoom Out buttons to adjust the apparent distance of the scene. After zooming the camera, re-focus the camera manually or automatically. For details, see Focus Change and Focus Mode below.
• Focus Change: Click the Focus In and Focus Out buttons to adjust the focus. To focus automatically, click the Auto Focus button.
• Focus Mode: Select Normal Scan, Regional Scan or Full Scan and then click the Start button to automatically adjust the camera focus. The Normal Scan mode focuses the camera the fastest.

[Name] Rename the video stream. To display the name of video stream on the Live View window, see 3.2.9 Camera Name Display.

[Connection Template] Select the type of your network connection. Unless you select Customized, this option will automatically bring up the recommended video resolution, frame rate, bandwidth and GOP size.

[Video Signal Type] Select the video signal type, resolution and frame rate. Select among H.265, H.264 or MJPEG as the codec type. For details on the resolutions and frame rates of each camera model, see Appendix B.

Note that for all the cameras (except GV-PTZ010D), the resolution options available for sub stream vary with the resolution selected for its main stream. For example, if a 4:3 resolution is selected for the main stream in GV-EVD5100, three options, 960 x 720, 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 will be available for its sub stream.

Note: The Hardware WDR Support option (see Figure 4-2A) is only available for GV-BX2600. It produces clear live view when the scene contains very bright and very dark areas at the same time. This function is enabled by default. However, you will be prompted to disable the function when the camera records up to 60 frames per second.

For WDR Pro or WDR option of other cameras, see Camera Adjustment in 3.2.2 The Control Panel on the Live View Window to adjust the setting.

[Bandwidth Management] When using the H.264 / H.265 codec, it is possible to control the bitrate, which in turn allows the amount of bandwidth usage to be controlled.

■ VBR (Variable Bitrate): The quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible at the cost of a varying bitrate. The bandwidth is much more efficiently used than a comparable CBR.

Set the image quality to one of the 5 standards: Standard, Fair, Good, Great and Excellent.

Maximal Bit Rate: When the actual bitrate exceeds the specified Maximal Bit Rate, the system will automatically lower its bitrate so as not to exceed it. Select one of the bitrates from the drop-down list or select Auto if you do not want to enable this function. The default maximal bitrate values are detailed as follows:

Camera Type Default Max. Bitrate of VBR
1.3 MP	Stream 1 6	Mbit
	Stream 2 4	Mbit
2 MP	Stream 1 8	Mbit
	Stream 2 4	Mbit
3 MP / 4 MP / 5 MP	Stream 1	12 Mbit
	Stream 2
8 MP / 12 MP	Stream 1	16 Mbit
	Stream 2

Note: For GV-BX2600, the default maximum bitrate for Stream 1 is set to 6 Mbit. When the video format of Stream 1 and 2 is set as MJPEG, the options for bitrate setting will be hidden automatically.

■ CBR (Constant Bitrate): CBR is used to achieve a specific bitrate by varying the quality of the H.264 / H.265 stream. Select one of the bitrates from the drop-down list.
■ Smart Streaming: When the option is enabled, the bitrates will be automatically reduced in static scenes, significantly maximizing bandwidth and lowering file size.

You can choose the image quality of Static Scene and Dynamic Scene to one of the 5 standards: Standard, Fair, Good, Great and Excellent. You can even choose the maximum bitrate to optimize the bandwidth.

Bitrate Reduction Level: The default value is 254. The bigger the value the more bitrates can be reduced in static scenes, thus saving the recording size.

Note: To enable Smart Streaming supported only by GV-BX12201 firmware V1.02 or later, it is required to use either GV-NVR V8.7 or GV-VMS V16.10.

[Region of Interest] Note this function is disabled by default and is not supported by GV-BX2600 and Target Series.

[Dynamic DNS Server Settings] DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides a convenient way of accessing the camera when using a dynamic IP. DDNS assigns a domain name to the camera, so that the Administrator does not need to go through the trouble of checking if the IP address assigned by DHCP Server or ISP (in xDSL connection) has changed. Before enabling the following DDNS function, the Administrator should have applied for a Host Name from the DDNS service provider's website. There are 3 providers listed in the camera: GeoVision GVDIP, GeoVision DDNS Server and DynDNS.org.

To enable the DDNS function:

1. Enable: Enable the DDNS function.
2. Service Provider: Select the DDNS service provider you have registered with.
3. Host Name: Type the host name used to link to the camera. For the users of GeoVision DDNS Server, it is unnecessary to fill the field because the host name will be detected and brought up automatically.
4. User Name: Type the username used to enable the service from the DDNS. The username should look similar to your host name. Depending on your service provider, you should add domain name (.dipmap.com, .gvdip.com or .org) after your user name, for example, alice.dipmap.com
5. Password: Type the password used to enable the service from the DDNS.
6. Click Apply.

[HTTP Port Settings] The HTTP port enables connection of the camera to the web. For security integration, the Administrator can hide the server from the general HTTP port by changing the default HTTP port of 80 to a different port number within the range of 1024 through 65535.

Note: The .pem file format is supported by Certificate and Private Key.

[GV-IPCAM Streaming Port Settings] The VSS port enables connecting the camera to the GV-System / GV-VMS. The default setting is 10000.

[UPnP Settings] UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are part of the Universal Plug and Play Forum. It means that they are listed in the network devices

table for the operating system (such as Windows XP) supported by this function. Enabling this function means you can connect to the camera directly by clicking on the camera listed in the network devices table.

[QoS Settings] The Quality of Service (QoS) is a bandwidth control mechanism that guarantees delay-sensitive data flows such as voice and video streams, obtain a certain amount of bandwidth to keep the streaming smooth.

To apply QoS to the camera, all network routers must support QoS and QoS must be enabled on these devices. To enable the QoS on the camera, enter a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value. This value is a field in an IP packet that enables different levels of services for the network traffic. When the video stream from the camera reaches a router, the DSCP value will tell the router what service level to be applied, e.g. the bandwidth amount. This value ranges from 0 to 63 in decimal format. The default value is 0, meaning QoS is disabled.

[Network Connection Check Settings] The camera checks for Internet connection, and reboots when it is disconnected from the Internet. This function is enabled by default.

Note: If you do not intend to connect the camera to the network, disable this function to prevent automatic reboot.

6.4 Verifying Watermark

The watermark is an encrypted and digital signature embedded in the video stream during the compression stage, protecting the video from the moment of creation. Watermarking ensures that an image is not edited or damaged after it is recorded. To enable the watermark function, see [Watermark Setting], 4.1.1 Video Settings.

The Watermark Proof is a watermark-checking program. It can verify the authenticity of the recording before you present it in court.

6.4.1 Accessing AVI Files

To verify watermark, first you have to access the recorded AVI files by one of these methods:

1. Use the File Save function (No.6, Figure 3-3) to start recording on the local computer.
2. Use the Act as FTP Server function to download AVI files from the camera. See 4.4.2 FTP.
3. Use the files recorded on the memory card. Since the files saved on the memory card are of Linux file system, remember to run Ext2Fsd program for Windows-based system to read and access Linux-based files. For the instructions, see 5.2.1 Playback from the Memory Card.

6.4.2 Running Watermark Proof

1. Install Watermark Proof from the Software DVD. After installation, a WMProof icon is created on your desktop.
2. Double-click the created icon. The Water Mark Proof window appears.
3. Click File from the menu bar, select Open and locate the recording (.avi). The selected recording is then listed on the window. Alternatively, you can drag the recording directly from the storage folder to the window.
4. If the recording is unmodified, a check mark will appear in the Pass column. On the contrary, if the recording is modified or does not contain watermark during recording, a check mark would appear in the Failed column. To review the recording, double-click the listed file on the window.
