Note for Connecting to GV-VMS
The GV-Panoramic PTZ Camera is designed to work with GV-VMS, a video management
system. Note the following when the camera is connected to GV-VMS:
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV- Panoramic
PTZ Camera.
2. Once the camera is connected to the GV-VMS, the resolution set on the 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-VMS is
interrupted.
ii
i
Note for Recording
1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory cards inserted in the GV-Panoramic
PTZ Camera. Make sure the Write recording data into local storage option is enabled
See 4.1.1 Video Settings, Chapter 4, GV-Panoramic PTZ Camera User’s Manual. If this
option is disabled, the camera will stop recording to the memory card while the live view is
accessed through Web browsers or other applications.
2. Mind the following when using a memory card for recording:
Recorded data on the memory card can be damaged or lost if the data are accessed
while the camera is under physical shock, power interruption, memory card
detachment or when the memory card reaches the end of its lifespan. No guarantee is
provided for such causes.
The stored data can be lost if the memory card is not accessed for a long period of
time. Back up your data periodically if you seldom access the memory card.
Memory cards are expendable and their durability varies according to the conditions
of the installed site and how they are used. Back up your data regularly and replace
the memory card annually.
To avoid power outage, it is highly recommended to apply a battery backup (UPS).
Replace the memory card when its read/write speed is lower than 6 MB/s or when the
memory card is frequently undetected by the camera.
It is recommended to use Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10 for optimal
performance.
iv
Note for Installing Camera
When installing GV-Panoramic PTZ Camera, 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 screws are tightened and the cover is in place after opening the camera cover.
v
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, use the supplied adhesive tape and replace the silica gel bag every
time you open the camera, and conceal the gel bag in the 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
first-time users, replace the silica gel bag prior to the installation to avoid foggy live view.

Refer to Settings for Internet Explorer 8 or later, Appendix A, GV-Panoramic PTZ
Camera User’s Manual.
2. When using non-IE browsers,
a. Certain functions are not supported by non-IE browsers. To see the functions
available on live view windows using non-IE browsers, see Figure 3-13,
GV-Panoramic PTZ Camera User’s Manual.
b. RTSP streaming must be enabled. By default, RTSP streaming is enabled. See 4.3.8

4.2 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
By default, when GV-Panoramic PTZ camera is connected to LAN with a DHCP server, it is
automatically assigned with a dynamic IP address. Follow the steps below to look up its IP
address.
1. Download and install the GV-IP Device Utility program from the GeoVision website:
http://www.geovision.com.tw/download/product/
.
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN as the
camera you wish to configure.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the
button to search for the IP devices connected
in the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort. You will see both the
fisheye camera and the speed dome being listed as GV-PPTZ – FE and GV-PPTZ – SD.
3. Click on the IP address of the fisheye camera and select Web Page.

4.
The login page of the integrated interface appears. Type the default ID and password
admin and click Apply.
23
4.3 Configuring the IP Address
By default, GV-Panoramic PTZ Camera, connected to LAN without a DHCP server, is
assigned with the following static IP addresses.
Integrated interface and fisheye interface: 192.168.0.10
Speed dome interface: 192.168.0.11
Follow the steps below to assign a new IP address for both the fisheye and speed dome
interfaces to avoid IP conflict with other GeoVision devices. Take GV-PPTZ7300 as an
example:
Note:
1. The computer used to set the IP address must be under the same network as the
camera.
2. If your router supports DHCP server, the camera will obtain a dynamic IP address
from the DHCP server each time it connects to the LAN, instead of using
192.168.0.10 or 192.168.0.11.
1. Open your web browser, and type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10
2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click Apply.
3. In the left menu, select GV-PPTZ – FE under Camera Setting. You will be directed to the
Web interface of the fisheye camera.
24
Accessing GV-Panoramic PTZ Camera
4
4. Type the default value admin again and click Apply
5. Select Static IP address. Type IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router/Gateway, Primary DNS
and Secondary DNS in the LAN Configuration section.
6. Click Apply. The integrated interface and fisheye interface are now accessible by entering
the assigned IP address on the Web browser.
7. Open another web browser, and type the default IP address of the speed dome interface
http://192.168.0.11
.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 to assign a new IP address.
IMPORTANT:
1. If Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled, you need to know which IP address the
camera is assigned to log in. If your camera is installed in a LAN, use the GV-IP
Device Utility to look up its current dynamic address. See 4.2 Checking the Dynamic
IP Address.
2. 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 DNS Server settings, see 4.7.2 Advanced TCP/IP, GV-Panoramic
PTZ Camera’s User Manual.
3. If Dynamic IP Address and PPPoE is enabled and you cannot access the unit, you
may have to reset it to the factory default settings and then perform the network
settings again. See Chapter 7 for the ways to restore the camera to factory default
settings
