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 GeoVision 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).
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.
Note for GV-BX2600 Frame Rate Mind the following restrictions, without regard to the resolution of the camera images, when the GV-BX2600 camera is set to 60 fps: 1 The codec MJPEG is not available in the main stream. 2 Dual streaming is not supported. 3 Video analysis functions, including motion detection, are not supported. 4 TV-out is not supported. 5 The frame rate will be dropped to 30 fps during live streaming and recording when the camera starts monitoring.
Note for GV-EVD5100 / EFD5101 When the resolution is set at 2592 x 1944: 1 If the camera is switched to single stream (while stream two is deselected) and Noise Reduction is disabled, the frame rate can reach up to 30 FPS. 2 If the camera is switched to dual streams and Noise Reduction is disabled, the frame rate can reach up to 25 FPS. 3 As long as Noise Reduction is enabled, whether the camera is switched to single stream or dual streams, the frame rate will be 15 FPS.
Chapter 1 Introduction The GV-IPCAM series offers a comprehensive range of IP cameras for IP surveillance in various environmental conditions. 1.1 System Requirement To perform the cameras’ operations through Web browser, ensure your PC is in good network connection, and use one of the following web browsers: • • • • Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.x or later Google Chrome Mozilla Firefox Safari Note: 1 For the users of Internet Explorer 8, additional settings are required. For details, see Appendix A.
To access GV-EFD3101 / 5101 and GV-EVD3100 / 5100 images, the PC spec should be met: CPU Intel Core i5-4670, 3.
2 Getting Started Chapter 2 Getting Started This section provides the initial and basic configurations of the GVIPCAM. 2.1 Accessing the Live View When the camera is connected to a network with a DHCP server, it will be automatically assigned with a dynamic IP address. See 2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address to look up this IP address. However, if you do not have a DHCP server on your network, access the camera by its default IP address 192.168.0.10 and see 2.1.
2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web interface. 1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program included on the Software DVD. Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN with the camera you wish to configure. 2. 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.
2 3. Getting Started Find the camera with its Mac Address, click on its IP address and select Web Page. Figure 2-2 4. The login page appears. Figure 2-3 5. Type the default ID and password admin and click Apply to log in.
2.1.2 Configuring the IP Address Follow the steps below to configure the IP address. 1. Open your web browser, and type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10. 2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click Apply. 3. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network settings. This page appears. Figure 2-4 4. Select Dynamic IP address, Static IP address or PPPoE and type the required network information. 5. Click Apply.
2 Getting Started IMPORTANT: 1. If Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled, you need to know which IP address the camera will get from DHCP server or ISP to log in. If your camera is installed in the LAN, use the GV-IP Device Utility to look up its current dynamic IP address. See 2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address. If your camera uses a public dynamic IP address via PPPoE, use the dynamic DNS Service to obtain a domain name that is linked to the camera’s changing IP address first.
2.1.3 Configuring the Wireless Connection You may create wireless connection to the Internet for: • Box Camera: GV-BX1200 series / 1300 series / 1500 series / 2400 series / 2500 series / 3400 series / 5300 series • Wireless Advanced Cube Camera: GV-CAW120/220 • Mini Fixed Dome: GV-MFD1501 series / 2401 series / 2501 series / 3401 series / 5301 series 1. To set up the wireless LAN for the first time, power on and connect a standard network cable to the camera. 2.
2 Getting Started B. Type the Network Name (SSID) or click the Access Point Survey button to search and select for the available Access Points/wireless stations. C. Select Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure for the Network type. D. Select the Authentication Type using the drop-down list. You can also obtain this information by clicking the Access Point Survey button. E. Type the WPA-PSK Pre-shared Key or WEP depending on the encryption setting for the Access Point. F. Click Apply to save the configuration.
4. Enable wireless LAN. A. On the Web interface, select Network and LAN. This page appears. Figure 2-6 B. Select Wireless for Optional Network Type. C. To use a dynamic IP address assigned by the DHCP server, select Dynamic IP address. To use a fixed IP address, select Static IP address and type the IP address information.
2 5. Getting Started Click Apply. The Camera will start creating a wireless connection to the access point. Note: For GV-CAW120/220, the LAN LED turns blue when the connection is established. 6. Unplug the Ethernet cable.
2.2 Adjusting Image Clarity Note the procedures described in this section only apply to the cameras that allow manual focus adjustment. To adjust focus of a PTZ camera, refer to Focus Adjustment in corresponding the Hardware Manual; for Cube Camera and Advanced Cube Camera, refer to Camera Adjustment in 3.2.2 The Control Panel on the Live View Window. After you have connected your camera to the network, follow the steps below to adjust image clarity. 1.
2 3. Getting Started Select Focus Value. The Login dialog box appears. Figure 2-8 4. Type the user name and password of the camera selected. The default is admin for both user name and password. This window appears.
5. For IK10+ models (GV-VD120D / 121D / 220D / 221D / 320D / 321D / 1500 / 2400 / 2500 / 3400 / 1530 / 2430 / 2530 / 3430), hold the supplied Focus Adjustment Cap over the camera view. For details, see 2.2.1 Using Focus Adjustment Cap for details. 6. For Target Mini Fixed Dome and Target Mini Fixed Rugged Dome, hold the camera cover close to the lens and use the supplied focus adjustment tool for precise focus adjustment. Figure 2-10 7.
2 Getting Started Note: 1. Do not over tighten the screws. The screws only need to be as tight as your fingers can get them to be. Do not bother using any tool to get them tighter. Doing so can damage the structure of lens. 2. The maximum focus value may vary when the environment changes.
2.2.1 Using Focus Adjustment Cap The Focus Adjustment Cap is only supplied for IK10+ models (GVVD120D / 121D / 220D / 221D / 320D / 321D / 1500 / 2400 / 2500 / 3400 / 1530 / 2430 / 2530 / 3430). Hold the Focus Adjustment Cap on top of the camera view and keep it close to the camera. Do not leave a distance between the Focus Adjustment Cap and the camera.
