Options Optional devices can expand your camera’s capabilities and versatility. Contact your dealer for more information. Device GV-PA191 PoE Adapter Description The GV-PA191 PoE adapter is designed to provide power and network connection to the cameras over a single Ethernet cable.
Note for Connecting to GV-System The GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 20R / 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R is designed to work with and record on GV-System, a hybrid or digital video management system. Once the camera is connected to the GV-System, the resolution set on the GV-System 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 is interrupted.
Note for Installing Camera Outdoor When installing the GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 20R / 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R 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 2.1 Getting Started Looking Up the IP Address By default, your GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 20R / 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R 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.
2 3. Getting Started Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort. Figure 2-2 4. Find the Mac Address of the camera to see its IP address. 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.
4. Select Static IP address or PPPoE and type the required network information. 5. Click Apply. The camera is now accessible by entering the assigned IP address on the Web browser. Important: 1. If your camera uses a public dynamic IP address via PPPoE, use the dynamic DNS Service to obtain a domain name linked to the camera’s changing IP address first. For details on Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE, see 4.5.2 Advanced TCP/IP and 4.5.1 LAN Configuration. 2.
2 2.2 Getting Started Accessing Your Surveillance Images Follow these steps to access your surveillance images: 1. Open the Internet Explorer browser. 2. Enter the IP address or domain name of the GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 20R / 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R in the Location/Address field of your browser. To look up the IP address, see 2.1 Looking Up the IP Address. Figure 2-4 3. Enter the login name and password. The administrator account has unrestricted access to all the features and functions.
