Naming and Definition GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software. The GV-System also refers to GV-Multicam GV-System System, GV-NVR, GV-DVR and GV-Hybrid DVR at the same time. GV-VMS GeoVision Video Management System for IP cameras.
Page 18: Note For Connecting To Gv-System / Gv-Vms
Note for Connecting to GV-System / GV-VMS The GV-IPCAM is designed to work with GV-System / GV-VMS, a hybrid or digital video management system. Note the following when the camera is connected to GV-System / GV-VMS: By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IPCAM (except GV-IR Arctic Box Camera and Target Series, which are not equipped with a memory card slot).
Page 19: Note For Recording
Note for Recording By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IP Camera (except GV-IR Arctic Box Camera and Target Series, which are not equipped with a memory card slot). Make sure the Write recording data into local storage option (see 3.1.1 Video Settings) is enabled.
Page 20: Note For Gv-Bx2600
For the users of Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 11 or later is required to perform the operations through Web browser. Recording When GV-BX2600 uses Micro SD card or USB HDD for recording, the camera must not have more than one connection to GeoVision or third- party software. xviii...
Page 21: Note For Gv-Evd5100 / Efd5101
Note for GV-EVD5100 / EFD5101 When the resolution is set at 2592 x 1944: If the camera is switched to single stream (while stream two is deselected) and Noise Reduction is disabled, the frame rate can reach up to 30 FPS. If the camera is switched to dual streams and Noise Reduction is disabled, the frame rate can reach up to 25 FPS.
Page 23: Chapter 1 Introduction

Page 24 To access GV-EFD3101 / 5101 and GV-EVD3100 / 5100 images, the PC spec should be met: Intel Core i5-4670, 3.40 GHz Memory DDR3 4 GB RAM Intel HD Graphics 4600 (Versions of driver On Board Graphics from year 2014 or later required)
Page 25: Chapter 2 Getting Started
Getting Started Chapter 2 Getting Started This section provides the initial and basic configurations of the GV- IPCAM. 2.1 Accessing the Live View When the camera is connected to a network with a DHCP server, it will be automatically assigned with a dynamic IP address. See 2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address to look up this IP address.
Page 26: Checking The Dynamic Ip Address
2.1.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web interface. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program included on the Software DVD. Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the same LAN with the camera you wish to configure.
Page 27 Getting Started Find the camera with its Mac Address, click on its IP address and select Web Page. Figure 2-2 The login page appears. Figure 2-3 Type the default ID and password admin and click Apply to log in.
Page 28: Configuring The Ip Address
2.1.2 Configuring the IP Address Follow the steps below to configure the IP address. Open your web browser, and type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click Apply. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network settings.
Page 29 Getting Started IMPORTANT: If Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled, you need to know which IP address the camera will get from DHCP server or ISP to log in. If your camera is installed in the LAN, use the GV-IP Device Utility to look up its current dynamic IP address.
Page 30: Configuring The Wireless Connection
2.1.3 Configuring the Wireless Connection You may create wireless connection to the Internet for: • Box Camera: GV-BX1200 series / 1300 series / 1500 series / 2400 series / 2500 series / 3400 series / 5300 series • Wireless Advanced Cube Camera: GV-CAW120/220 •...
