Note for Connecting to GV-VMS / DVR / NVR
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.
ii
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,
GV-VD8700 IR Vandal Proof IP Dome User’s Manual 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.

Note for Installing Camera Outdoor
When installing the camera, be sure that:

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.
