GV-Mount Accessories	The GV-Mount Accessories provide a comprehensive lineup of accessories for installation on ceiling, wall corner and pole. For details, see GV-Mount Accessories Installation Guide on the Software DVD.

Note for Adjusting Focus and Zoom

When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws on Bullet Camera, do not over tighten the Focus and Zoom screws. The screws only need to be as tight as your finger can do it. It is not necessary to use any tools to get them tighter. Doing so can damage the structure of lens.

For example,

Zoom Screw Focus Screw

Bullet Camera

The maximum torque value for all the zoom and focus screws is 0.049 N.m

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor

When installing the cameras outdoor, be sure that:

1. The camera is set up above the junction box to prevent water from entering the camera along the cables.

1. Any PoE, power, audio and I/O cables are waterproofed using waterproof silicon rubber or the like.

Diagram showing a mechanical assembly with rotating components and a final elongated body (no text or symbols)

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.

Note for Closing the Bullet Camera Cover

To ensure that the camera performs its full capacity against water and dust, tightly close and lock the camera cover as indicated below.

Note for Recording

1 By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IP Camera H.264 (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 4.1.1 Video Settings, GV-IPCam H.264 Firmware Manual) 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 Waterproofing Failures

To avoid waterproofing failures, do not open the screw on the camera body.

1. The screw on Ultra Bullet Camera

Do not open IMPORTANT: To keep the interior dry, replace the silicon gel bag every time you open the diameter.

Chapter 1 Bullet Camera (Part I)

The Bullet Cameras are specifically designed for outdoors and are weatherproof (IP66 or IP67). They are equipped with IR LEDs for infrared illumination in night vision applications. The models described in this chapter use auto iris, which allows for automatic control of exposure.

The WDR Pro models enhance the image by processing contrasting intensity of light. The super low lux models can produce color live view in near darkness. The motorized varifocal lens models allow the user to adjust the focus and zoom through the Web interface.

Chapter 2 Bullet Camera (Part II)

The Bullet Cameras are specifically designed for outdoors. They are weatherproof (IP67) and equipped with IR LEDs for infrared illumination in night vision applications. The models described in this chapter use P-Iris, which allows for precise control of exposure, producing images with better clarity and contrast.

The WDR Pro models enhance the image by processing contrasting intensity of light. The super low lux models can produce color live view in near darkness. The motorized varifocal lens models allow the user to adjust the focus and zoom through the Web interface. The arctic models can withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C \~ 50°C / -40°F \~ 122°F). For related models, see 2.2 Features.
