connection to the cameras over a single Ethernet cable. The GV-PA191

PoE adapter is only available for GV-IP LPR Camera 5R and

GV-LPC2211 / 2011.

The GV-PA482 PoE adapter is designed to provide power and network

connection to the cameras over a single Ethernet cable. The GV-PA482

PoE adapter is only available for GV-LPC1100 and GV-LPC2210.

For GV-IP LPR Camera 5R / GV-LPC2211 / LPC2011, the GV-POE

Switch is designed to provide power along with network connection for

IP devices.

For other models, the GV-POE Switch can be used for data

transmission only. It does not provide power to GV-IP LPR cameras.

The GV-POE Switch is available in various models with different

numbers and types of ports.

vii

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.

viii

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.

1.5.6 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

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

57

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

Figure 2-2

4. Find the Mac Address of the camera, click its IP address and select Web Page.

Figure 2-3

5. The login page appears.

6. Type the default ID and password admin and click Apply to log in.

58

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.

59

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.

[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.
