Naming Definition

GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The
GV-System
GV-System also refers to Multicam System, GV-NVR System, GV-DVR System and GV-Hybrid DVR System at the same time.

Options

Optional devices can expand your camera’s capabilities and versatility. Contact your dealer for more information.
Device Description
GV-PA191 PoE Adapter
GV-Mount Accessories
The GV-PA191 PoE adapter is designed to provide power and network connection to the cameras over a single Ethernet cable. The GV-PA191 PoE adapter is only available for GV-IP LPR Camera 5R. The GV-Mount Accessories allows you to install GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 10R / GV-IP LPR Camera 5R on the wall corner and pole. For details, see Installing the Arctic Box Camera / Installing the Bullet Camera, GV-Mount Accessories Installation Guide on the GV-IP LPR Camera Software DVD.

Note for Connecting to GV-System

The GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 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.
v

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor

When installing the GV-Hybrid LPR Camera 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. The silica gel bag loses it effectiveness when the dry camera is opened.
4. For each newly replaced silica gel bag, allow it to absorb moisture for at least 5 hours before operating the camera.
5. The camera casing can be hot due to its IR LED. Make sure you unplug the power cable and allow the camera casing to cool down before handling the camera.
