1 Introduction

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.
