Chapter 1 Introduction
The GV-Video Server allows the conversion of any analog camera into a fully functional IP
camera. It streams the real-time digital video over the Internet in the same way that current
IP cameras do. With the analog cameras attached to the GV-Video Server, you can see
camera images through a Web browser anytime and anywhere. And with the GV-Video
Server connected to the GV-DVR / NVR / VMS, your existing surveillance system can be
upgraded and networked into a new IP surveillance system.

Getting Started
Chapter 2 Getting Started
This section provides basic information to get the GV-Video Server working on the network.
2.1 Installing on a Network
These instructions describe the basic connections to install the GV-Video Server on the
network. Here we use GV-VS04H as an example for demonstration.

Connect
Connect the microphone to the RCA audio input using the 3.5 mm Stereo to
2.
Cable.
3.
Connect the hub or switch on the LAN to the unit’s 10/100 Mbps port.
4.
Connect the power using one of the following methods:
z Use the supplied power adapter to connect to power.
z Use the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function to provide power over the network
Optionally connect the DC Male-to-Male Cable to power the camera through the
5.
GV-Video Server.
6.
Wait until both Power and Ready LEDs are on.
7.
By default, the GV-Video Server is assigned with an unused IP address by the
server when the unit is connected to the network. The IP address remains unchanged

ou unplug or disconnect it from the network.
DHCP
z To see how to look up the IP address assigned by the DHCP server, see 2.2
Checking the IP Address.
z If the GV-Video Server is installed in a LAN without the DHCP server, the default IP
address 192.168.0.10 will be applied. To change the IP address, see 2.3 Changing
the IP Address.

Note:
1. GV-VS11 / 14 / 2420 / 2400 / 2401 / 2820 / 2800 / 21600 do not support PoE function.
2. For the users of other models, see the optional accessories in 1.6 Options.
3. GV-Video Server cannot work with microphones requiring power from the unit. Use
the microphone that has external power supply.
4. When PoE is applied, you cannot power the camera through the GV-Video Server.

Getting Started
2.2 Checking the IP Address
By default, an unused IP address is automatically assigned by the DHCP server to the
GV-Video Server when connecting to the network. Follow the steps below to look up the IP
address and access the Web interface.
1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program from GeoVision download page:
http://www.geovision.com.tw/download/product/
.
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN as the
GV-Video Server 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.
Figure 2-2
3. Find the GV-Video Server with its Mac Address to see the IP address.
4. To login, type the IP address in your Web browser. A dialog box appears.
5. Type the default username and password admin.
6. Click Apply to access the Web interface.
