Note for Connecting to GV-System
The GV-IPCAM H.264 is designed to work with GV-System, a hybrid or
digital video management system. Note the following when GV-IPCAM
H.264 is connected to GV-System:
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).
2 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.
XXVI
Page 29
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 20.1.1 Video Settings) 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.

Note for Adjusting Focus and
Zoom
When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws (on Box Camera, IR
Arctic Box Camera, Bullet Camera, IR Arctic Bullet Camera, Vandal
Proof IP Dome and Fixed IP 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,

2.2.1 Wide Dynamic Range Pro
Objects may appear as silhouettes when they are backed with intense
lights. The Wide Dynamic Range Pro (WDR Pro) is designed to solve this
problem using a WDR sensor. In GV-BX140DW, GV-BX2400 Series and
GV-BX3400 Series, the WDR sensor is able to process the image and
show details in bright and dark areas at the same time. An example of
WDR Pro in action is shown below.
No WDR: underexposure
WDR: perfect exposure
For GV-IPCam H.264 models that support WDR, the WDR effect is
achieved through software programming.
