Introduction

Chapter 1 Introduction
The GV-SNVR system is a Linux-embedded Standalone Network Video Recorder which
records video files directly to the internal hard drive, supporting up to 4 / 16 channels of
GV-IP Cameras for network surveillance. With the feature of a Full HD HDMI video output,
the GV-SNVR eliminates the need for a separate PC to view and play back video from the
unit. Its four / five USB ports allow you to connect a storage device to import or export
system settings, update firmware, save snapshot files and back up video in AVI format.
Optionally, you can connect a GV-Joystick V2 to control PTZ cameras. Moreover, you can
remotely access the live view through mobile devices or Web browsers with advanced
video features.
