1. Case Brief The client needed a surveillance solution to ensure the safety of a multi-story building. Floors 2 to 4 are offices, the first floor is a retail store, and the basement included a retail store and an employee parking lot. 24 GV-BX1200 Box Cameras were installed on each floor to make sure that all areas are covered. In addition, 2 GV-FE521 Fisheye Cameras and 4 GV-SD220 IP Speed Domes with PTZ capabilities were installed on the ground floor to monitor the entrances of the retail store.

4. Recommendations and Limitations for GV-Recording Server 4.1 Suggested Hard Disk Arrangement This section describes how to arrange 20 2TB hard disks for recording in the 20-bay GV-Hot Swap Recording Server System, under Round-the-Clock Mode and Motion Detection Mode. Note: To see how to set up storage groups and assign hard disks in the GV-Recording Server software, refer to p. 17 in GV-Recording Server User’s Manual: http://ftp.geovision.
PAGE 8
 Motion Detection Mode When recording upon Motion Detection, assign no more than 10 channels to each hard disk to ensure stability. The table below shows the number of days you can record in 20 2TB hard disks when using Motion Detection mode. In this example, since the 20 hard disks cannot be evenly distributed among 13 storage groups, some storage groups will be assigned 1 hard disk while other storage groups will be assigned 2 hard disks.

4.2 Recommended Hard Disk Brand To maintain system stability and to keep your recordings safe when using GeoVision software, we advise you to use any of the recommended and/or the tested hard disk drives listed below. Brand Series Seagate Barracuda (XT Series, ES.2 Series, 7200 Series) SV35 Series Constellation ES Series Hitachi Hitachi Series Western Digital Caviar Black Caviar Blue RE Series To find the tested hard disk models, see: http://pd.geovision.tw/technotice/Others/Recommended_HDD.

4.3 Network Requirements In the recommended installation illustrated above, the GV-Recording Server receives video from the 128 GV-IP Cameras installed in the building, and then transmits the 128 IP channels to GV-Control Center. In this case, one Gigabit Ethernet port for the incoming 128 channels and one Gigabit Ethernet port for the outgoing 128 channels are sufficient.
PAGE 11
After installing the network cards needed, divide networks into multiple subnets or segments, and then organize IP channels received and clients transmitted into different networks. 1. Assign each network card to a different IP address and subnet mask. 2. Organize IP channels and clients into groups and then assign each group to different network cards using the IP addresses you have set up.

5. System Requirements for GV-Control Center For optimal performance, make sure the PC for installing GV-Control Center meets the following requirements. OS 64-bit Windows 7 / 8 / Server 2008 R2 / Server 2012 CPU Core i7 2600K, 3.4 GHz RAM 3 x 2 GB Hard Disk 1 GB Graphic Card AGP or PCI-Express, 1024 x 768, 32-bit color DirectX 9.0c LAN Card Gigabit Ethernet x 2 Hardware Internal or External GV-USB Dongle Notes for Graphic Cards: 1.
PAGE 13
5.1 1. Setting Up Display on Multiple Monitors After the graphic cards are installed, go to Windows’ Screen Resolution setting in the Control Panel. The number of monitors detected will be displayed. 2. Drag the monitor icons and adjust the positions according to your actual monitor arrangement. 3. To simultaneously watch 128 channels, create multiple Matrix Views using one of the options below. a. 6 Monitors: Divide the 128 channels into 5 Matrix Views with 1 Matrix View for each floor.
PAGE 14
4. Next, click the Application Position function in GV-Control Center’s toolbar to define the content of every monitor. 5. Drag the icons of the Matrix Views and other applications on the bottom to the monitors.

6. Ethernet Cable Requirements When installing, each Ethernet cable cannot exceed 100 meters. In order for the PoE switches to deliver power without problem, it is recommended to use Cat 5 / 5e and Cat 6 cables. The high quality Ethernet cable reduces lost during power transmission. The wiring cable types are as below. 10BaseT: 2-pair UTP/STP Cat. 3, 4, 5 cable, EIA / TIA-568 100-ohm (Max. 100 m) 100BaseTX: 2-pair UTP/STP Cat. 5 cable, EIA / TIA-568 100-ohm (Max. 100 m) 1000BaseT: 4-pair UTP/STP Cat.
