Ultra Bullet Camera (except GV-BL2511-E / 5311-E),
and Target Bullet Camera. Contact your sales
representative for the countries and areas supported.

The GV-PA191 PoE adapter is designed to provide
power and network connection to the cameras over a
single Ethernet cable.

The GV-Relay V2 is designed to expand the voltage
load of GV IP devices. It provides 4 relay outputs, and
each can be set as normally open (NO) or normally
closed (NC) independently as per your requirement.

The GV-POE Switch is designed to provide power
along with network connection for IP devices. The
GV-POE Switch is available in various models with
different numbers and types of ports.

The GV-Mount Accessories provide a comprehensive
lineup of accessories for installation on ceiling, wall
corner and pole. For details, see GV-Mount
Accessories Installation Guide on the Software DVD.

Note for Adjusting Focus and Zoom

When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws on Bullet Camera, do not
over tighten the Focus and Zoom screws. The screws only need to be as
tight as your finger can do it. It is not necessary to use any tools to get
them tighter. Doing so can damage the structure of lens.

For example,

The maximum torque value for all the zoom and focus screws is 0.049 N.m

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor

When installing the cameras outdoor, be sure that:

1. The camera is set up above the junction box to prevent water from

entering the camera along the cables.

2. Any PoE, power, audio and I/O cables are waterproofed using

waterproof silicon rubber or the like.

3. The silica gel bag loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is

opened. 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.

5

Note for Closing the Bullet Camera Cover

To ensure that the camera performs its full capacity against water and dust ,
tightly close and lock the camera cover as indicated below.

Note for Recording

1 By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in

the GV-IP Camera H.264 (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

4.1.1 Video Settings, GV-IPCam H.264 Firmware Manual) 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.

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.

7

Note for Waterproofing Failures

To avoid waterproofing failures, do not open the screw on the camera body.

Chapter 1 Bullet Camera (Part I)

The Bullet Cameras are specifically designed for outdoors and are
weatherproof (IP66 or IP67). They are equipped with IR LEDs for infrared
illumination in night vision applications. The models described in this
chapter use auto iris, which allows for automatic control of exposure.

The WDR Pro models enhance the image by processing contrasting
intensity of light. The super low lux models can produce color live view in
near darkness. The motorized varifocal lens models allow the user to
adjust the focus and zoom through the Web interface.

Chapter 2 Bullet Camera (Part II)

The Bullet Cameras are specifically designed for outdoors. They are
weatherproof (IP67) and equipped with IR LEDs for infrared illumination in
night vision applications. The models described in this chapter use P-Iris,
which allows for precise control of exposure, producing images with better
clarity and contrast.

The WDR Pro models enhance the image by processing contrasting
intensity of light. The super low lux models can produce color live view in
near darkness. The motorized varifocal lens models allow the user to
adjust the focus and zoom through the Web interface. The arctic models
can withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C ~ 50°C / -40°F ~ 122°F). For

Chapter 3 Ultra Bullet Camera

The Ultra Bullet Camera is a series of light-weighted cameras designed for
outdoor environments. The camera adheres to the IP67 standard and has
full protection against dust and jets of water. The Ultra Bullet Cameras are
available in motorized varifocal lens and fixed lens at 1.3, 2 and 3
megapixels. The motorized varifocal lens models allow the user to
remotely adjust the focus and zoom through the Web interface. The WDR
Pro models can enhance the live view by processing contrasting intensity
of lights. T he super low lux models are able to provide color live view in
near darkness. For related models, see 3.2 Features.
