Quick Start Guide

Note for Recording
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted to the
GV-IP Camera (except GV-IR Arctic Camera and Target Series, which
are not equipped with a memory card slot). Make sure the Write
recording data into local storage option 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. For
details, see Video Settings, Administrator Chapter, GV-IPCAM
Firmware Manual on the Software DVD).
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.
