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, which
is 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.

Page 24
Note for Adjusting Focus and
Zoom
When adjusting the Focus and Zoom Screws (on Box Camera, IR Arctic
Box Camera, 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,

Note for Installing Camera
Outdoor
When installing the IR Arctic Box Camera, Bullet Camera, Ultra Bullet
Camera, Vandal Proof IP Dome or Mini Fixed Rugged Dome 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.
XXIII
Page 26
3. After opening the camera cover, ensure the screws are tightened
and the cover is in place.
4. 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. For each newly replaced silica gel bag, allow it to absorb moisture
for at least 5 hours before operating the camera.

Page 27
Note for Closing the Bullet Camera
Cover
To ensure that the camera performs its full capacity against water and
dust, adhere to the following guidelines when closing the Bullet Camera
cover:
1. Line up the dots
Tighten the camera cover until the dots on the cover and the body
line up as indicated below.
2. Make your own marks
For earlier models, you may not have dots on your camera. In this
case, make your own marks on the camera cover and the body to
note down the position.

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.

Chapter 4 IR Arctic Box Camera
The IR Arctic Box Camera is a series of outdoor cameras designed for
environments of extreme temperatures. The cameras adhere to IP67 and
IK10 protection standards, and are equipped with IR LEDs and removable
IR-cut filter for day and night surveillance. The GV-BX2400-E / 3400-E are
equipped with WDR Pro to produce clear image for scenes containing
contrasting intensity of lights (see 2.2.1 Wide Dynamic Range Pro for
details).

opened. To prevent the lens from fogging up, replace the silica gel
bag every time you open the camera, and conceal the silica gel
bag in the camera within 2 minutes of exposing to open air.
2. Allow the silica gel bag to absorb moisture for at least 5 hours
before operating the camera.
9. Refer to step 7 to plug the connectors and secure the camera cover.

Ensure that you:
• enable IR LED function on the Web interface after loading the default
settings.
• disable the status LED to reduce reflection when a green light spot
appears on the live view.
4.6.1 Enabling IR LED after Loading Default
Each GV-IR Arctic Box Camera is equipped with 4 IR LEDs to provide
infrared illumination at night. The factory-loaded setting for the IR LED
function is enabled. If you have restored the camera to default settings,
please follow the steps below to enable the IR LED function.
1. In the left menu of Web interface, select Video Settings and then
Streaming 1.
2. Enable Trigger IR by D/N in IR Check Function.

4.6.2 Disabling Status LED under Low Light Conditions
If you have a green light spot on the live view, this is likely due to
insufficient light at the installation site, which causes the status LED to
reflect on the camera cover. In this case, it is advisable that you disable the
status LED.
1. In the left menu of Web interface, select Video Settings and then
Streaming 1.
2. Select Disable in LED Control.

To install the Mini Fixed Rugged Dome on a vehicle, clip the ferrite core
to the camera cable. In accordance to EN 50155, the ferrite core is used
for reduction of the cable-based and radiated interferences, ensuring stable
image quality. The ferrite core must be attached as close as possible to the
camera with the maximum distance of 15 cm.

Chapter 6 Bullet Camera
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 image quality is further
enhanced by WDR Pro (GV-BL2400 / 3400 / 2410 / 3410 only, see 2.2.1
Wide Dynamic Range Pro for details). The motorized varifocal lens models
(GV-BL1210 / 2410 / 3410 / 5310) take the advantage of its motorized
focus/zoom in that the user can remotely adjust the focus and zoom
through the Web interface. The following models are available:
