Regulatory Notices

FCC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class A digital

device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment.

Class A

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the users will be required to correct the interference at their own

expense.

CE Notice

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio

interference in which case the users may be required to take adequate measures.

RoHS Compliance

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive is to forbid the use of hazardous

materials for production. To meet the RoHS Directive requirements, this product is made to

be RoHS compliant.

WEEE Compliance

This product is subject to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

and made compliant with the WEEE requirements.

Note for Connecting to GV-VMS / DVR / NVR

The GV-IP Speed Dome is designed to work with and record on GV-VMS / DVR / NVR, a

video management system.

Once the camera is connected to the GV-VMS / DVR / NVR, the resolution set on the GV-

VMS / DVR / NVR will override the resolution set on the camera’s Web interface. You can

only change the resolution settings through the Web interface when the connection to the

GV-VMS / DVR / NVR is interrupted.

Note for Recording

1. By default, the images are recorded to the memory card inserted in the GV-IP Seed

Dome.

2. Mind the following when using a memory card for recording:

 Recorded data on the memory card can be damaged or lost if the data are accessed

while the camera is under physical shock, power interruption, memory card

detachment or when the memory card reaches the end of its lifespan. No guarantee is

provided for such causes.

 The stored data can be lost if the memory card is not accessed for a long period of

time. Back up your data periodically if you seldom access the memory card.

 Memory cards are expendable and their durability varies according to the conditions

of the installed site and how they are used. Back up your data regularly and replace

the memory card annually.

 To avoid power outage, it is highly recommended to apply a battery backup (UPS).

 For better performance, it is highly recommended to use Micro-SD card or SD card of

MLC NAND flash, Class 10.

 Replace the memory card when its read/write speed is lower than 6 MB/s or when the

memory card is frequently undetected by the camera.

1. Overview

GV-IP Speed Dome (GV-QSD5730 / GV-QSD5731-IR) offers 33x optical zoom

and 10x digital zoom, capable of showing smooth live view with great details.

Both models can simultaneously deliver four video streams in resolutions up to

2592 x 1944 at 30 fps and support H.265 video codec to achieve better

compression ratio while maintaining high quality pictures at reduced network

bandwidths.

GV-IP Speed Dome (GV-QSD5730 / GV-QSD5731-IR) also features Servo

Feedback technology and Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS) technology. The

Servo Feedback technology ensures the camera view returns to the preset

position when encountering external force (e.g. human interference) or

environmental vibration. EIS technology can effectively produce stable images

by actively sensing directional movement of the images and compensating

accordingly; this is particularly useful for cameras installed at places where

environmental movement (e.g. strong wind, the passing-by heavy vehicles) is

constant, and when high optical zoom is executed.

ensure camera settings or Username / Password info from snooping. It is

required to install a self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate for

implementing HTTPS.

To use HTTPS on the camera, an HTTPS certificate must be installed. The

HTTPS certificate can be obtained by either creating and sending a certificate

request to a Certificate Authority (CA) or creating a self-signed HTTPS

certificate, as described below.

Create Self-signed Certificate

Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can create and install a self-

signed certificate first.

Click the <Create> button under “Create self-signed certificate” and provide the

requested information to install a self-signed certificate for the camera.

Please refer to the last part of this section Provide the Certificate Information for

more details.

NOTE: The self-signed certificate does not provide the same high level

of security as when using a CA-issued certificate.
