Chapter 2 Accessing the Camera
2.1 System Requirement
To access the GV-IP Camera through the Web browser, ensure your PC
connects to the network properly and meets this system requirement:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 or later
Note: For the users of Internet Explorer 8, additional settings are
required. For details, see Appendix A in GV-IPCAM Firmware Manual.
2.2 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 2.2.1 Checking the
Dynamic IP Address to look up this IP address.
However, if you do not have a DHCP server on your network, access the
camera by its default IP address 192.168.0.10 and see 2.2.2 Configuring
the IP Address for more detail.
Note: The default ID and Password of the GV-IP Camera is admin.
14
2.2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web
interface.
1. Install the GV-IP Device Utility program included from the company
website
.
Note: The PC installed with GV-IP Device Utility must be under the
same LAN with the GV-IPCAM you wish to configure.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the
button to search for the IP
devices connected in the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address
column to sort.
3. Find the camera with its Mac Address, click on its IP address and
select Web Page.
Figure 2-1
4. In the login page, type the default ID and password admin and click
Apply to log in.

2.2.2 Configuring the IP Address
Follow the steps below to configure the IP address.
1. Open your Web browser, and type the default IP address
http://192.168.0.10
.
2. In both Login and Password fields, type the default value admin. Click
Apply.
3. In the left menu, select Network and then LAN to begin the network
settings.
Figure 2-2
4. Select Static IP address, Dynamic IP address or PPPoE and type the
required network information.
5. Click Apply. The camera is now accessible by entering the assigned
IP address on the Web browser.
6. 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.
16
Important:
1. 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. See 2.2.1 Checking
the Dynamic IP Address. If your camera uses a public dynamic IP
address via PPPoE, use the dynamic DNS Service to obtain a
domain name that is linked to the camera’s changing IP address
first. For details, see LAN Configuration and Advanced TCP/IP
sections, Administrator Mode Chapter in the GV-IPCAM Firmware
Manual.
2. If Dynamic IP Address or PPPoE is enabled and you cannot
access the camera, you may have to reset the camera to its factory
default and then perform the network settings again. To restore
factory settings, see 1.5 Loading Factory Default.

2.3 Adjusting Image Clarity
You can adjust the image clarity using the GV-IP Device Utility. Make sure
that you have connected your GV-IPCAM to the network and install the
GV-IP Device Utility program under the same LAN.
Note: This feature only applies to the cameras that allow manual focus
adjustment.
1. Make sure you have installed the GV-IP Device Utility program.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the
button to search for the IP
devices connected in the same LAN. Click the IP Address of the
camera you desire. A drop-down list appears.
Figure 2-3

3. Select Focus Value. The Login dialog box appears.
4. Type the user name and password of the camera selected. The
default is admin for both user name and password. This window
appears.
Figure 2-4
5. Adjust the Zoom Screw and the Focus Screw of the camera slowly
until the focus value reaches the maximum.
Note:
1. For locations of adjustment screws and rings in each model, see
Locations of Adjustment Screws, section, Getting Started Chapter,
GV-IPCAM Firmware Manual.
2. Do not over tighten the screws. The screws only need to be as tight
as your fingers can get them to be. Do not bother using any tool to
get them tighter. Doing so can damage the structure of lens.
3. The maximum focus value may vary when the environment
changes.

Chapter 4 Upgrading System
Firmware
GeoVision periodically releases updated firmware on the website. The new
firmware can be simply loaded into the GV-IPCAM by using the Web
interface or IP Device Utility.
Important:
1. To update the camera firmware from versions earlier than V2.07 to
the latest version, back up the files in the storage device to
another device before the upgrade.
2. While the firmware is being updated,
A) the power supply must not be interrupted, and
B) do not unplug the Ethernet cable if the cable is the source of
power supply (Power over Ethernet or PoE supported).
3. Do not turn the power off within 10 minutes after the firmware is
updated.
4. If you use the IP Device Utility for firmware upgrade, the computer
used to upgrade firmware must be under the same network of the
camera.
5. Since the firmware adopts different storage format from V2.07
onward, be sure to re-format the storage device after firmware
upgrade. If you have not done so, this warning message appears
when you view the Monitoring or Storage Settings’ Web interface:
Figure 4-1

1. Stop these operations: monitoring of the camera, connection to GV-
DVR / NVR / VMS and remote connections to Center V2, Vital Sign
Monitor, ViewLog Server and 3GPP/RTSP.
2. In the Live View window, click the Show System Menu button and
select Remote Config. This dialog box appears.
Figure 4-2
3. Click the Browse button to locate the firmware file (.img) saved at
your local computer.
4. Click the Upgrade button to start the upgrade.
WARNING: The interruption of power supply during updating causes
not only update failures but also damages to the camera. In this case,
please contact your sales representative and send your device back to
GeoVision for repair.
