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.

Page 27
2.2.1 Network Connection for GV-SNVR1600
There are two network ports, LAN and WAN, for the GV-SNVR1600. If both network ports are
used simultaneously, only the WAN port can be connected to the Internet. Therefore, it is
recommended to connect the devices as below.
Internet
GV-IP Cameras

Note: When the LAN and WAN ports are used together, the Auto Search function is only
supported by the LAN port. To connect to GV-IP Cameras under the WAN, you can add the
cameras manually.
IMPORTANT: It is required to divide LAN and WAN networks into different subnets or
segments; otherwise, your network will fail. For details, see 3.3 Network.

2.3 Setting Up GV-IP Camera
After installing the IP cameras under the same LAN with the GV-SNVR, you can now add the
cameras to GV-SNVR.
2.3.1 Automatically Setting Up GV-IP Camera
GV-SNVR0410F
To automatically set up the IP cameras, follow the steps below.
1. Power on GV-SNVR0410F.
2. Connect GV-SNVR0410F and cameras with Ethernet cables (No.2, Figure 2-12).
3. Within one minute, live view appears when GV-SNVR0410F is connected with the
cameras.
GV-SNVR0400F / GV-SNVR1600
To automatically set up the IP cameras, follow the steps below.
1. Power on the GV-SNVR. It automatically searches and lists the IP cameras under the
same LAN.
2. You are prompted with a dialog box asking if you want to automatically assign IP address.
The automatic assignment will only apply on the cameras with IP address 192.168.0.10.
Figure 2-14
23
Page 29
3. Click Apply. The GV-SNVR assigns unused IP addresses to the cameras in an
ascending numerical order and enables the connection.
Figure 2-15
Upon successful connection, the status displays “Connected”, with the resolution and
bandwidth being displayed in the correspondent columns. Close the Camera page to access
the live view.
IMPORTANT:
1. By default, GV-IP Cameras use the IP address 192.168.0.10. The GV-SNVR will
automatically assign unused IP addresses to these cameras to avoid IP address conflict with
others under the same LAN.
2. The GV-SNVR connects to the IP cameras with the default ID and password admin. If the IP
camera uses a different ID and password, click the Edit icon
and type the correct login
information.
3. The GV-SNVR supports a total bandwidth of up to 50 Mbps for GV-SNVR0410F / 0400F and
up to 100 Mbps for GV-SNVR1600. The total bandwidth can be found in the top-right corner
of the camera list.

2.3.2 Manually Connecting GV-IP Camera
Only for GV-SNVR0400F and GV-SNVR1600, you can manually add the GV-IP Camera to
the camera list, follow the steps below.
1. On the Camera page, click the Add Cameras button.
2. Type the IP Address, Username and Password of the desired IP camera. Keep the
default Port 10000 or modify if necessary.
Figure 2-16
3. Click Apply to add the IP camera.
4. To add multiple cameras, repeat step 2, type the number of cameras you want to create
in the Add Camera column.
․ To duplicate camera with same IP address but different ports, type the IP address
and click the Duplicate column of Port.
․ To duplicate camera with same port number but different IP addresses, type the port
number and click the Duplicate column of IP Address.
5. To connect the GV-SNVR with the added cameras, click the box next to the CH column
on the Camera page.
Figure 2-17

Page 31
6. To delete the added IP camera, click the Delete button of the camera on the
Camera page.
2.3.3 Changing Camera IP Address and Assigning Channels
On the Camera page, you can change the IP address of the connected cameras by clicking
on the IP address.
You can also re-assign the camera to another channel. For example, to change the camera
on Channel 1, deselect the connected camera on Channel 1 and select another camera for
connection. The selected camera is now assigned to Channel 1.

[DDNS]
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides a convenient way of accessing the
GV-SNVR when using a dynamic IP address. DDNS assigns a domain name to the
GV-SNVR, so you do not need to go through the trouble of checking if the IP address
assigned by DHCP Server or ISP (in xDSL connection) has changed. Before enabling the
following DDNS function, you should have applied for a Host Name from the DDNS service
provider’s website. The provider is GeoVision DDNS Server:
http://ns.gvdip.com/register.aspx
.
Figure 3-6
To enable the DDNS function, click the Enable box, type the hostname and password you
have registered with GeoVision DDNS Server and click Apply.
