SerVision IVG400-N Quick-Start Guide
Introduction
This guide briefly explains how to set up the hardware components and perform a preliminary configuration of
SerVision’s IVG400-N security system. The IVG400-N is the newest addition to SerVision’s family of Video
Gateway units. Video Gateway units provide state-of-the-art security functionality, including live video streaming,
video recording and playback, motion detection, sensor management, real-time event notification, and device
activation. All of these features can be accessed remotely via PC, cellular telephone, or tablet. The IVG400-N is the
first Video Gateway to support IP cameras, and it can handle video-frame resolutions up to full HD.
The IVG400-N is suitable for deployment in a variety of environments, from offices and homes to remote locations
and moving platforms. It has built-in support for cable-based, WiFi, and cellular networking, and contains an
internal GPS receiver that makes it possible to track the location and route of a vehicle in which it is installed.
Configuration of the IVG400-N is performed in the unit’s configuration utility, WebMax, which can be accessed
either by means of an HDMI monitor connected to the unit, or from a browser on a PC. Basic instructions for
configuring the IVG400-N are included in this guide.
Client software is used for accessing the IVG400-N unit remotely in order to view video and events and control the
system in various ways. SerVision’s next-generation client application for PCs, SVCentral, offers a full range or
features for viewing and working with digital video streams created by the IVG400-N. A brief overview of
SVCentral is included in this guide. Client software for Android and iOS devices such as smart phones and tablets
are also available.

Peripheral Equipment
Cameras and other peripherals (sensors, activators, an HDMI monitor, etc.) are not included in the IVG400-N
package.
Only cameras that support the ONVIF protocol can be used with the IVG400-N. In addition, PoE (Power over
Ethernet) is supported for up to four cameras. If more cameras are required, please contact technical support for
information about connecting them to the system.
In principle, all ONVIF cameras are compatible with the system. Nonetheless, it is recommended to purchase
cameras that have already been tested by SerVision for compatibility:
• SerVision cameras
• Hikvision full HD cameras (1080p)
• Axis full HD cameras (1080p)
An HDMI monitor, used in conjunction with a standard mouse and keyboard, can be used to directly access the
IVG400-N’s system configuration. (If these items are not employed, initial configuration is performed by
connecting a PC to the IVG400-N unit.)

for connecting ONVIF cameras to the unit
HDMI Connector for an HDMI CCTV monitor
WiFi antenna 1 and 2 SMA connectors for WiFi antennas
Installing the IVG400-N Unit
The IVG400-N unit can be installed vertically or horizontally. If it is installed vertically, or it is installed on a
moving platform such as a vehicle, it must be mounted using the supplied supports. If it is installed in a stationary
location, it can be placed horizontally on a stable flat surface such as a table or shelf, and does not necessarily have
to be secured. Regardless of whether you mount the unit or not, ensure it has at least 3-5 centimeters (1–2 inches) of
space above it and on all sides for ventilation. (When the unit is mounted, the supports leave space between it and
the mounting surface, thus providing ventilation to the top of the unit.)
Mounting the Unit
When the unit is mounted, the top of the unit faces the mounting surface. If it is mounted vertically, the front and
rear panels should be on the sides; it does not matter which side faces up. These positions enable you to access all of
the unit’s connectors, as well as the compartment on the bottom of the unit in which the SIM-card slot and the
storage medium (hard drive or solid-state drive) are located.
D
To mount the IVG400-N unit:
1. Turn the unit upside down and attach each of the supports as follows:
f Place the support on the side of the unit, with the solid part around the body of the unit, and the screw
holes facing up.
