Note for Installing Camera Outdoor

When installing the IR Arctic Box Camera 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.

viii

Note for USB Storage and WiFi Adapter

Mind the following limitations and requirements for using USB storage and
GV-WiFi Adapter:

1. The USB hard drive must be of 2.5’’ or 3.5’’, version 2.0 or above.

2. The USB hard drive’s storage capacity must not exceed 2TB.

3. USB flash drives and USB hubs are not supported.

4. External power supply is required for the USB hard drive.

5. To connect a GV-WiFi Adapter, make sure it is connected before the

camera is powered on.

Note for Silica Gel Bags

1. 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.

2. When the camera is shipped, a silica gel bag will be included inside

the camera. For the first-time user, replace the silica gel bag prior to
the installation to avoid foggy live view.

Chapter 1 Box Camera

The Box Camera is a series of indoor IP cameras consisting of fixed focal
and varifocal models in different resolutions. The Box Camera supports
lens replacement and features an automatic infrared-cut filter for day and
night surveillance. The super low lux models are capable of displaying
color live view in near darkness. Models equipped with a mini USB port
can be connected wirelessly through a GV-WiFi Adapter (optional). The
WDR Pro models can produce clear image for scenes with contrasting
intensity of lights. Models using P-Iris allow for precise control of exposure,
producing images with better clarity and contrast. The Box Camera models
are detailed below:

1.4 Accessory Installation

1.4.1 C-Mount Lenses

If you use a C-mount lens, it requires a certain distance from the camera’s
imaging chip to focus the lens. Mount the supplied C-mount lens adapter /
lens ring to the camera, and then secure the lens onto the camera body.

Three types of C-mount lens rings are provided for Box Camera:

 0.188 mm (transparent color) x 2
 0.125 mm (black color with a glossy surface) x 2
 0.254 mm (black color with a matt surface) x 2

For GV-BX140DW, a 0.125 mm is provided.

Note: The C-mount lens rings are specially designed for Box Camera.
Besides the supplied C-mount lens rings, each of these models has
already included with the necessary lens ring.

1.5 I/O Terminal Block

The terminal block, located on the back panel of the Box Camera, provides
the interface to one input and one output devices. The I/O terminal block
can be used for applications such as motion detection, event alerts via E­Mail and FTP, and center monitoring through Center V2 and VSM.

1.5.1 Pin Assignment

The pin assignment for the I/O terminal block:

For the output point, please check if your output device meets the following
Absolute Maximum Ratings before connecting it to the output point.

Breakdown Voltage 277V AC, 30V DC
Continuous Load Current 5A (NO), 3A (NC)

Note: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which
damage to the camera may occur. Continuous operation of the camera at
the absolute rating level may affect the camera reliability.

The Box Camera support one digital input and one digital output of dry
contact.

For details on how to enable an installed I/O device, see 4.3 I/O Settings,

Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled, you need to know

which IP address the camera will get from DHCP server or ISP
to log in. If your camera is installed in the LAN, use the GV-IP
Device Utility to look up its current dynamic IP address. See

5.2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address in the Quick Start
Guide. If your camera uses a public dynamic IP address via

PPPoE, use the dynamic DNS Service to obtain a domain name
that is linked to the camera’s changing IP address first. For
details, see LAN Configuration and Advanced TCP/IP sections,
Administrator Mode Chapter in the GV-IPCAM Firmware Manual
on the Software DVD.

Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled and you cannot

access the camera, you may have to reset the camera to its
factory default and then perform the network settings again. To
restore factory settings, see 1.6, 2.6, 3.5, 4.5. Loadi ng Factory

5.3 Adjusting Image Clarity

You can adjust the image clarity using the GV-IP Device Utility. Make sure
that you have connected your GV-IPCAM to the network and install the
GV-IP Device Utility program under the same LAN.

Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the

same LAN with the GV-IPCAM you wish to configure.

1. Make sure you have installed the GV-IP Device Utility program
included on the GV-IPCAM software DVD.

2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the
devices connected in the same LAN. Click the IP Address of the

camera you desire. A drop-down list appears.

Note:

1. For locations of adjustment screws and rings in each model, see
Locations of Adjustment Screws, section, Getting Started
Chapter, GV-IPCAM Firmware Manual on the Software DVD.

2. Do not over tighten the screws. The screws only need to be as
tight as your fingers can get them to be. Do not bother using any
tool to get them tighter. Doing so can damage the structure of
lens.

Chapter 7 Upgrading System Firmware

GeoVision periodically releases updated firmware on the website. The new
firmware can be simply loaded into the GV-IPCAM by using the Web
interface or IP Device Utility included in the software DVD.

Important:

1. To update the camera firmware from versions earlier than V2.07
to the latest version,

another device

2. While the firmware is being updated,
A) the power supply must not be interrupted, and
B) do not unplug the Ethernet cable if the cable is the source of

power supply (Power over Ethernet or PoE supported).

3. Do not turn the power off within 10 minutes after the firmware is
updated.

4. If you use the IP Device Utility for firmware upgrade, the
computer used to upgrade firmware must be under the same
network of the camera.

5. Since the firmware adopts different storage format from V2.07
onward, be sure to re-format the storage device after firmware
upgrade. If you have not done so, this warning message
appears when you view the Monitoring or Storage Settings’ Web
interface:

back up the files in the storage device to

before the upgrade.
