Chapter 6 Advanced Applications

This chapter introduces more advanced applications.

6.1 Upgrading System Firmware

GeoVision will periodically release the updated firmware on the website. The new firmware
can be simply loaded into the GV-Video Server by using the Web interface or the GV-IP
Device Utility included on the Software CD/DVD.
Important Notes before You Start
Before you start updating the firmware, please read these important notes:
1. While the firmware is being updated, make sure the following:
A. The power supply must not be interrupted.
B. The Ethernet cable must not be unplugged if the cable is the source of power
supply (Power over Ethernet or PoE supported).
2. Do not turn the power off in 10 minutes after the firmware is updated.
WARNING: The interruption of power supply during updating causes not only update
failures but also damages to your GV-Video Server. In this case, please contact your
sales representative and send your device back to GeoVision for repair.
IMPORTANT: After upgrading the firmware of GV-Video Server to the latest version, it
is required to format the storage device for better recording efficiency and stability. To
format the storage device, be sure to back up the data first and see 4.8.3 Storage
Settings for how to format the storage device.
