Caution
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Safety Notice
The GV-IPCAM uses a Lithium battery as the power supply for its internal real-time clock (RTC). The battery should not be replaced unless required!
If the battery does need replacing, please observe the following:
- Danger of Explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced
- Replace only with the same or equivalent battery, as recommended by the manufacturer
- Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions
Options
Optional devices can expand your camera's capabilities and versatility. Contact your dealer for more information.
| Device Description | |
| Power Adapter | The power adapter is available for all Bullet Camera, Ultra Bullet Camera (except GV-BL2511-E / 5311-E), and Target Bullet Camera. Contact your sales representative for the countries and areas supported. |
| GV-PA191 PoE Adapter | The GV-PA191 PoE adapter is designed to provide power and network connection to the cameras over a single Ethernet cable. |
| GV-Relay V2 | The GV-Relay V2 is designed to expand the voltage load of GV IP devices. It provides 4 relay outputs, and each can be set as normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) independently as per your requirement. |
| GV-POE Switch | The GV-POE Switch is designed to provide power along with network connection for IP devices. The GV-POE Switch is available in various models with different numbers and types of ports. |
| 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,

text_image
Zoom Screw Focus ScrewThe 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:
- The camera is set up above the junction box to prevent water from entering the camera along the cables.

natural_image

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

natural_image

-
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.
-
When the camera is shipped, a silica gel bag will be included inside the camera. For the first-time user, replace the silica gel bag prior to the installation to avoid foggy live view.
Note for Waterproofing Failures
To avoid waterproofing failures, do not open the screw on the camera body.

-
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 4.1.1 Video Settings, GV-IPCam 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.
-
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.
-
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.
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.

Chapter 3 Bullet Camera (Part III)
The Bullet Cameras are specifically designed for outdoors. They are weatherproof (IP67) and equipped with IR LEDs for infrared illumination in night vision applications. They support H.265 video codec to achieve better video compression while maintaining high quality picture. The cameras use P-Iris, which allows for precise control of exposure, producing images with better clarity and contrast.
