Naming Definition GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The GV-System 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. GeoVision License Plate Recognition System for GV-IP LPR GV-DVR LPR cameras. It consists of the GV-System, the LPR Plugin and a GV-LPR Capture Dongle installed on a computer.
Note for Connecting to GV-System / GV-VMS The GV-IP LPR Camera is designed to work with and record on GV-System / GV-VMS, a video management system. 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 Installing Camera Outdoor When installing the GV-IP LPR Camera outdoor, mind the following: 1. Set the camera above the junction box to prevent water from entering the camera along the cables. 2. Waterproof the PoE, power and TV-out cables with waterproof silicon rubber or the like. 3. 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.

Chapter 2 Getting Started 2.1 Looking Up the IP Address By default, your camera is assigned with an unused IP address by the DHCP server when the camera is connected to the network. This IP address remains unchanged unless you unplug or disconnect your camera from the network. Note: If your router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. In this case, it is strongly suggested to modify the IP address to avoid IP address conflict with other GeoVision IP device on the same LAN.
2 3. Getting Started Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort. Figure 2-2 4. Find the Mac Address of the camera, click its IP address and select Web Page. Figure 2-3 5. The login page appears. 6. Type the default ID and password admin and click Apply to log in.
2.2 Changing the IP Address To modify the static IP address or set the camera to a public dynamic IP address, log in the Web interface to access the network setting page. 1. Open your Web browser, and type in the IP address. • For static network connection, type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10 • For DHCP connection, follow steps in 2.1 Looking Up the IP Address to look up the current IP address. 2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click Apply. 3.
2 2.2 Getting Started Configuring the Basics Once you have installed and logged in the camera, you are ready to configure some of its primary settings through the Web interface: • Date and time adjustment: see 4.7.1 Date and Time Settings. • Login and privileged passwords: see 4.7.3 User Account. • Network gateway: see 4.5 Network. • Camera image adjustment: see 3.3 The Control Panel of the Live View Window. • Video format, resolution and frame rate: see 4.1.1 Video Setting.
