Naming and Definition

GV-System GeoVision Analog and Digital Video Recording Software.

The GV-System also refers to GV-Multicam System,

GV-NVR System, GV-DVR System and GV-Hybrid

DVR System at the same time.

Note for Recording

The GV-IPCAM H.264 is designed to work with GV-System, a hybrid or

digital video management system. Normally, the images are recorded to

the memory card inserted in the Box Camera, Bullet Camera, PT Camera

or PTZ Camera. Once the camera is connected to GV-System for video

management or its Live View (Figure 8-3) is accessed through the Web

browser, the recording to the memory card will be stopped and the

recording will be taken control by GV-System. When the connection

between the camera and GV-System is interrupted, the recording to the

memory card will be resumed to back up the images on the camera.

1

Note for Firmware Upgrade

Before you upgrade the firmware, please follow these instructions:

1. The firmware upgrade must be performed on the LAN.

2. Stop monitoring of GV-IPCAM H.264.

3. Stop all the remote connections including Center V2, VSM, ViewLog

Server and 3GPP.

4. Stop the connection to GV-System.

The failure to follow the above instructions may cause damages to the GV-

IPCAM H.264. For details on firmware upgrade, see 11.1 Upgrading

System Firmware in the User’s Manual.

If firmware upgrade fails, you will need to restore the camera to the default

settings. For this see 11.3 Restoring to Factory Default Settings in the

User’s Manual.
