and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own

expense.

CE Notice

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio

interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Naming Definition

GV-DVR / NVR

GV-VMS

GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The

GV-DVR also refers to GV-Multicam System or GV-Hybrid DVR.

GeoVision Video Management System for IP cameras.

Note for Connecting to GV-DVR / NVR / VMS

The camera is designed to work with and record on GV-DVR / NVR / VMS, a video

management system.

Once the camera is connected to the GV-DVR / NVR / VMS, the resolution set on the

GV-DVR / NVR / 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-DVR / NVR / VMS is interrupted.

Note for Recording

1. By default, the recording function is disabled. Configure the function in the camera’s Web

interface to record alarm events to the memory card inserted in the camera upon

disconnection from GV-DVR / NVR / VMS. See 4.4.3 Tools for details.

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.

 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.

 To avoid power outage, it is highly recommended to apply a battery backup (UPS).

3. For better performance, it is highly recommended to use memory cards of the following

specifications:

 Micro SD card of MLC NAND flash, Class 10.

vii

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor

When installing the 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.

Chapter 1 Introduction

GV-VD8700 Vandal Proof IP Dome camera features cutting-edge face recognition technology

that allows users to identify important personnel from its database, on the fly. Up to 10,000 face

profiles can be defined in the camera’s database, and also categorized to meet various

corporate needs, such as facilitating customer service or security management and more. The

camera’s face recognition mechanism is effective for a distance of up to 4 m (13.12 ft) while

able to identify up to 10 persons simultaneously. With a recognition time of within 2 seconds, it

can quickly identify VIP guests and / or potential intruders. When integrated with GV-VMS,

GV-VD8700’s face recognition can be used to trigger alerts according to the predefined rules,

thereby providing an improved, reliable security management.

As an outdoor camera, GV-VD8700 is designed with IK10 vandal resistance and IP66 ingress

protection. The camera can support H.265 video codec to achieve better compression ratio

while maintaining high-quality pictures at reduced network bandwidths. For night operations,

the camera is equipped with an IR effective distance of up to 40 m (131.23 ft). Its WDR and

Backlight Compensation allow the camera to detect faces in environments with drastic light

contrast.

Features:

 1/2.5” progressive scan low lux CMOS

 Min. illumination at 0.04 lux

 Triple streams from H.265 and H.264

 Up to 30 fps at 3840 x 2160
