Naming Definition
| GV-System | GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The GV-System also refers to Multicam System, GV-NVR System, GV-DVR System and GV-Hybrid DVR System at the same time |
| GV-VMS | GeoVision Video Management System for IP cameras. |
Note for Connecting to GV-VMS / DVR / NVR
The Eyeball Dome, Bullet IP Camera and Mini Fixed Rugged Dome are designed to work with and record on GV-VMS / DVR / NVR, a video management system. Once the cameras are connected to the GV-VMS / DVR / NVR, the resolution set on the GV-VMS / DVR / NVR will override the resolution set on the cameras' Web interface. You can only change the resolution settings through the Web interface when the connection to the GV-VMS / DVR / NVR is interrupted.
Note for Recording
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.
- To avoid power outage, it is highly suggested to apply a battery backup (UPS).
- For better performance, it is highly suggested to use Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10.
- 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.
Note for Installing Camera Outdoor
When installing the camera outdoor, be sure that:
- The camera is set up above the junction box to prevent water from entering the camera along the cables.

Chapter 2 Accessing the Camera
Once installed, the camera is accessible on a network. Follow these steps to configure the network settings and access your surveillance images.
2.1 Installing on a Network
These instructions describe the basic connections to install the camera on the network.
- Using a standard network cable, connect the camera to your network.
-
Connect to power using one of the methods:
-
Using the optional power adapter to connect to power.
-
Using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function. The power will be provided over the network cable.
-
You can now access the Web interface of the camera.
-
If the camera is installed in a LAN with the DHCP server, use GV-IP Device Utility to look up the camera's dynamic IP address. See 2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address.
- If the camera is installed in a LAN without the DHCP server, the default IP address 192.168.0.10 will be applied. To assign a different static IP address, see 2.1.2 Assigning an IP Address.
Note: You must set your browser to allow ActiveX Controls and perform a one-time installation of the ActiveX component onto your computer at your first login.
2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web interface.
- Download and install the GV-IP Device Utility program from http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/5_8.asp
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN with the camera you wish to configure.
- On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for the IP devices connected in the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.

■ Image Collection Mode: Sets the maximum resolution and frame rate.
The following options are available for the main, sub and third streams.
■ Video Compression: Set the codec type to H.264 or MJPEG.
■ Resolution: You may select the different resolutions for each stream.
■ Frame Rate: Select a frame rate for encoding images. The unit is frame per second.
Bit Rate:
- CBR: The camera transmits data at a constant data rate by varying the quality of the stream
- VBR: The quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible at the cost of a varying bitrate.
■ Image Quality: When VBR is selected for the encoding mode, you can move the slider to adjust quality level for images. Moving the slider toward Bit Rate decreases the bit rate and may affect image quality. Moving the slider toward Quality increases the bit rate and improves image quality.
■ I F rame Interval: Set the number of frames between each I frame (key frame). This option is only available when H.264 is selected for codec.
■ Smoothing: Set the extent of smoothing. Choosing Clear means disabling Smoothing. Moving the slider toward Smooth increases the level of smoothing but will affect image quality.
3.3.2 Snapshot
Using the Snapshot function, when an alarm is triggered, the camera will automatically upload the captured snapshots to the FTP server or send snapshots to the specified e-mail address.

[Exposure]
■ Exposure Mode: Select the correct exposure mode to achieve the desired exposure effect. The default setting is Outdoor.
■ Shutter (s): The length of time that allows light to enter into the lens. You can set a shutter speed when Exposure Mode is set to Manual.
Note: If Slow Shutter is set to Off, the reciprocal of the shutter speed must be greater than the frame rate.
■ Gain: Control image signals so that the camera outputs standard video signals according to the light condition. You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is set to Manual.
■ Slow Shutter: Improve image brightness in low light conditions.
■ Slowest Shutter: Set the slowest shutter speed that the camera can use during exposure.
■ Compensat ion: Adjust the compensation value as required to achieve the desired effects. You can set this parameter only when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual.
■ Metering Control: Set the way the camera measures the intensity of light. You can only set this parameter when Exposure Mode is not set to Manual.
- Center-Weighted Average Metering: Measure light mainly in the central part of images.
- Evaluative Metering: Measure light in the customized area of images.
Day/Night Mode: Select Automatic for automatic switch between day mode and night mode depending on the amount of light detected. Select Night to produce high-quality black and white images using the existing light. Select Day to produce high-quality color images using the existing light.
■ Day/Night Sensitivity: Set the light threshold for switching between day mode and night mode. A higher sensitivity means that the camera is more sensitive to the change of light and becomes more easily to switch between day mode and night mode.
■ Day/Night Switching(s): Set the length of time before the camera switches between day mode and night mode after the conditions for switching are met.
■ WDR: Enable WDR to distinguish the bright and dark areas in the same image.
■ WDR Level: After enabling the WDR function, you can improve the image by adjusting the WDR level.

■ Network Time Out: When network disconnection exceeds the specified time period, the camera status will be displayed as Connection Lost.
■ On-Demand Display: Enables automatic switching between main stream and substream based on the size of camera image on screen.
■ Live-view frame rate control (Sub / Main): Sets the frame rate of the stream to help reduce the CPU usage. If you have set the codec to be MJPEG, select the number of frames to allow in a second. If the codec selected is H.264, select one of the following options:
- Maximum Live-view Frame Rate: View the video at the maximum frame rate possible.
Live-view Key Frame only: You can choose to view the key frames of the videos only instead of all frames on the live view. This option is related to the GOP setting of the IP camera. For example, if the GOP value is set to 30, there is only one key frame among 30 frames.
■ Frames to keep in live view buffer: Specifies the number of frames to keep in the live view buffer.
■ Recording Codec Format: Select the codec to record in.

Appendix
A. RTSP Protocol Support
The camera can support RTSP protocol for both video and audio streaming.
If you are using Quick Time player, use the following RTSP command:
rtsp://
For example, rtsp://192.168.3.111:554/CH001.sdp
If you are using VLC player, use the following RTSP command:
If you use the VLC, and if authentication is not required, enter:
rtsp://@<IP of the camera:554/
For example, rtsp://@192.168.3.111:554/CH001.sdp
Note:
- See 3.6.2 Security for RTSP related settings on the Web interface.
- Only VLC and QuickTime players are supported for streaming video via RTSP protocol.
