Note for Connecting to GV-System / GV-VMS

The GV-IP LPR Camera is designed to work with and record on GV-System / GV-VMS, a
video management system.
Once the camera is connected to the GV-System / GV-VMS, the resolution set on the
GV-System / GV-VMS 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 / GV-VMS is interrupted.

Page 11

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor

When installing the GV-IP LPR Camera 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. 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.

1.5.5 Connecting the Camera

The GV-LPC2211/2011 supports two power specifications: DC 48V, PoE (IEEE 802.3af).
Follow the steps below to connect your GV-LPC2211/20110 to power, network and other wires
needed.
1.5.5.1 PoE Connection
You can optionally purchase GV-PA191 PoE to connect the camera to the power and network
at the same time. Two Ethernet cables are required for the connection. For details, see 1.1.5
Connecting the Camera.
1.5.5.2 Power Adapter Connection
Besides PoE connection, you can use a DC power adaptor, and connect the camera to the
power. For details, see 1.2.5.2 Power Adapter Connection.
1.5.5.3 Wire Definition
The data cable provides connections for power, ground and network access. The wires are
defined below:

1.5.6 Replacing the Silica Gel Bag

You may open the camera to load the factory default settings. Once the housing of
GV-LPC2211/2011 is opened, you must replace the original silica gel bag with a new one.
1. Remove the camera cover from the camera.
Figure 1-61
2. Loosen the camera’s screws and the hexagon pillars as indicated below.
3. Take out the camera from the camera body
Figure 1-62
55
Figure 1-63
Page 67
4. Cut the 2 silica gel bags apart with scissors and insert the new silica gel bags.
Figure 1-64
5. Secure the 2 hexagon pillars to the upper and lower holes of camera module as
indicated below.
Figure 1-65
6. Secure the camera cover.
Note:
1. The silica gel bag must be placed at the lower half of the camera body.
2. The silica gel loses its effectiveness when the dry camera is opened. To prevent the
lens from fogging up, replace the silica gel bag every time when you open the camera
and conceal the gel bag in the camera within two minutes of exposing to the open air.

Getting Started

Chapter 2 Getting Started

2.1 Looking Up the IP Address

By default, your camera is assigned with an unused IP address by the DHCP server when the
camera is connected to the network. This IP address remains unchanged unless you unplug
or disconnect your camera from the network.
Note: If your router does not support DHCP, the default IP address will be 192.168.0.10. In
this case, it is strongly suggested to modify the IP address to avoid IP address conflict with
other GeoVision IP device on the same LAN. To change the IP address, see Changing the IP Address later in this section.
Follow the steps below to find out the IP address of your camera:
1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program from the Software DVD.
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN with the
camera you wish to configure.
2. On the PC desktop, select Start, point to Programs and select GV IP Device Utility to
execute the program. The GV-IP Device Utility window appears and automatically
searches for the GV-IP devices on the same LAN.
Figure 2-1

3. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.

Getting Started

2.2 Changing the IP Address

To modify the static IP address or set the camera to a public dynamic IP address, log in the
Web interface to access the network setting page.
1. Open your Web browser, and type in the IP address.
For static network connection, type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10
For DHCP connection, follow steps in 2.1 Looking Up the IP Address to look up the
current IP address.
2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click Apply.
3. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network settings. This page
appears.
Figure 2-4
4. Select Static IP address or PPPoE and type the required network information.
5. Click Apply. The camera is now accessible by entering the assigned IP address on the
Web browser.
IMPORTANT:
1. If your camera uses a public dynamic IP address via PPPoE, use the dynamic DNS
Service to obtain a domain name linked to the camera’s changing IP address first. For
details on Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE, see 4.7.2 Advanced TCP/IP and 4.6.1 LAN
Configuration.
2. If PPPoE is enabled and you cannot access the camera, you may have to reset it to the factory default and then perform the network settings again. To restore the factory settings, see 5.3 Restoring to Factory Default Settings.

2.2 Configuring the Basics

Once you have installed and logged in the camera, you are ready to configure some of its
primary settings through the Web interface:
Date and time adjustment: see 4.7.1 Date and Time Settings. Login and privileged passwords: see 4.7.3 User Account. Network gateway: see 4.5 Network. Camera image adjustment: see 3.3 The Control Panel of the Live View Window. Video format, resolution and frame rate: see 4.1.1 Video Setting.

[Bandwidth Management]
When using the H.264 codec, it is possible to configure the bitrate settings to control
bandwidth usage.
VBR (Variable Bitrate): The quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible at
the cost of a varying bitrate. The bandwidth is much more efficiently used than a
comparable CBR. Set the image quality to one of the 5 standards: Standard, Fair, Good, Great and Excellent.
Maximal Bit Rate: When the system bitrate exceeds the specified Maximal Bit Rate, the
system will automatically lower its bitrate so as not to exceed it. Select one of the bitrates
from the drop-down list or select Auto if you do not want to enable this function. The default value is 6 MB
CBR (Constant Bitrate): CBR is used to achieve a specific bitrate by varying the quality
of the stream. The bitrates available for selection depend on the image resolution.
[GOP Structure and Length]
Set the maximum number of seconds between every key frame.
[H264 Video Entropy Coding Setting] Note this function is only available for GV-LPC2210.
By default, the entropy coding is set to CAVLC. To change it to CABAC, click and select from
the drop-down lost.
