Note:
GV IP cameras
1. GV IP cameras (excluding GV Fisheye), stream 1 is used for recording and single view,
and stream 2 for live viewing in multi divisions.
2. The default resolution for stream 1 is set at its maximum. Several resolution, aspect ratio
and codec options are available for each IP camera, except GV-Fisheye cameras.
3. It is highly recommended to set the panel resolution to 1280 x 1024 (default) or lower
when connecting to GV Fisheye to get better CPU performance.
Third-party cameras
4. For third-party cameras, be sure the resolution and codec are configured as specified
above to achieve the best performance and maximum frame rate. To find the supported
third-party cameras, go to http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/4_21.asp.
Frame Rate
5. Total Frame Rate equals to the Max. Frame Rate multiplies the supported channel
numbers.
6. If you record the images, access live view and see the playback simultaneously, the CPU
loading will increase massively. Therefore, the frame rates may drop.
GV-NVR System Lite V2 Dongle
A dongle is required when connecting to third-party IP cameras.
Dongle Options: 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 IP channels.
