Chapter 1 Introduction

The GV-IP Decoder Box Plus is designed to decode incoming IP streams from GeoVision and
third-party IP devices, and to serve as a medium for connecting the cameras and the monitor
for video display in Single View, Quad View, and 9-Division View. It supports third-party IP
cameras that adhere to RTSP or ONVIF, and can automatically search for ONVIF supported
third-party IP devices under the same LAN. To be used with only a monitor, the GV-IP
Decoder Box Plus provides a cost-effective solution for video surveillance as opposed to the
traditional DVR and PC setup. The security administrator can monitor channels, take
snapshots of critical moments, and pause at a channel when events occur. GV-Joystick V2
can be installed to control GeoVision and third-party PT / PTZ / Speed Dome cameras.
