Chapter 8 Advanced Applications
This chapter introduces more advanced applications.
8.1 Upgrading System Firmware
GeoVision will periodically release the updated firmware on the website. The new firmware
can be simply loaded into the GV-Compact DVR V3 over the network or by using the IP
Device Utility included in the Software CD/DVD.
Note: Be sure to restore the GV-Compact DVR V3 to default settings after upgrading to
the new firmware. For details, see 8.4 Restoring to Factory Default Settings.
Important Notes before You Start
Before you start updating the firmware, please read these important notes:
1. While the firmware is being updated, the power supply must not be interrupted.
2. Do not turn the power off for 10 minutes after the firmware is updated.
WARNING: The interruption of power supply during updating causes not only update
failures but also damages to the device. In this case, please contact your sales
representative and send your device back to GeoVision for repair.
