Getting Started Chapter 2 Getting Started This section provides basic information to get the GV-Video Server working on the network. 2.1 Installing on a Network These instructions describe the basic connections to install the GV-Video Server on the network. Here we use GV-VS04H as the example to demonstrate the steps. Figure 2-1 1.

Note: 1. The GV-VS11 does not support PoE function. 2. The DC Male-to-Male Cable and 3.5 mm Stereo to RCA Cable are only supplied for GV-VS04H and GV-VS14. 3. The GV-Video Server cannot work with the microphone requiring power from the unit. Use the microphone that has external power supply.
Getting Started 2.2 Checking the IP Address By default, an unused IP address is automatically assigned by the DHCP server to the GV-Video Server when connecting to the network. 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 CD/DVD.
In this case, it is strongly suggested to modify the IP address to avoid the IP address conflict with other GeoVision IP device on the same LAN. Open your Web browser, and type the IP address of the GV-Video Server or the default IP address http://192.168.0.10...
Getting Started IMPORTANT: • PPPoE should only be enabled if you know which IP address the GV-Video Server will get from the ISP. Otherwise, you must use the Dynamic DNS service to obtain a domain name linked to the GV-Video Server’s changing IP address first.
4. A video image, similar to the example in Figure 3-2, is now displayed in your browser. Note: To enable the updating of images in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must set your browser to allow ActiveX Controls and perform a one-time installation of GeoVision’s ActiveX component onto your computer.
