Chapter 1 Mini Fixed Dome (Part I)
& Mini Fixed Rugged Dome
The Mini Fixed Dome (GV-MFD) and Mini Fixed Rugged Dome (GV-MDR)
are fixed, mini-sized ceiling-mount network cameras.
The GV-MDR series is designed for outdoor surveillance, conforming to
IK10 and IP67 standards. The camera is adjustable in 3 axis (pan, tilt and
rotate) and can be connected through PoE.
The GV-MFD series is designed for indoor surveillance. Adjustable in 2
axis (pan and tilt), the camera also supports PoE.
The super low lux models can provide color live view in near darkness
and the WDR Pro models can process scenes of contrasting intensity of
lights.

1.4.2 Power and Network Connection
Use one of the following methods to power on and connect your camera to
network:
• Wired connection with PoE: Use a Power over Ethernet (PoE)
adapter to connect the camera to the network, and the power will be
provided at the same time.
• Wired connection with network cable (GV-MFD Series only):
Connect the camera with a standard network cable and use the power
adapter to supply power. For details, see Powering On for GV-MFD
Series below to assemble the terminal block with power adapter.
• Wireless connection (GV-MFD1501 Series / 2401 Series / 2501
Series / 3401 Series / 5301 Series only):
Connect the camera with a
GV-WiFi Adapter (optional accessory) and use the power adapter to
supply power.
Powering On the GV-MFD120 / 130 / 320
1. Insert the orange wire of the camera to the left pin (-) and the yellow
wire to the right pin (+) of the terminal block.

Chapter 2 Mini Fixed Dome (Part II)
The GV-MFD2700 Series / 4700 Series offers an indoor, fixed, mini-sized
network camera with 3-axis mechanism for easy and flexible installation.
GV-MFD2700 Series / 4700 Series can support H.265 video codec to
achieve better compression ratio while maintaining high picture quality at
reduced network bandwidths. The camera can process scenes with
contrasting intensity of lights and produce clear image using the builtin
WDR Pro. The camera is equipped with a Super Low Lux CMOS image
sensor which allows the camera to provide a color live view in near
darkness.

Rugged Dome
The Target Mini Fixed Rugged Dome (GV-EDR) is an outdoor, fixed, mini-
sized network camera equipped with an automatic IR-cut filter and IR LEDs
for day and night surveillance. Adhering to IK10 and IP67 standards, it
offers an entry-level outdoor surveillance solution with all the essential
features and excellent image quality.
For GV-EDR4700 / 2700, with its super low lux CMOS image sensor and
WDR Pro, it is capable of providing a color live view not only in near
darkness but also under contrasting light intensities. GV-EDR4700 / 2700
can support H.265 video codec to achieve better compression ratio while
maintaining high quality pictures at reduced network bandwidths.

4.3 Installation
The Target Mini Fixed Rugged Dome can be installed on the wall or ceiling.
You must use the supplied waterproof rubber set to waterproof the cable.
1. Paste the installation sticker where you want to install, and drill two
holes that are at a diagonal. To run the cables inside the wall or
ceiling, drill a larger opening as shown below.
Figure 4-3
2. Insert the supplied screw anchors into the two drilled holes.
3. Open the camera’s housing cover using the supplied torx wrench.
Figure 4-4
53
4. Unscrew the three screws as indicated below. A back plate can be
separated from the bottom.
Figure 4-5
5. Use the 2 supplied screws to secure the back plate onto the ceiling or
the wall where the screw anchors were inserted.

Chapter 7 Accessing the Camera
7.1 System Requirement
To access the GV-IP Camera through the Web browser, ensure your PC

y 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.
78
Accessing the Camera

7.2 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 7.2.1 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 7.2.2 Configuring
the IP Address for more detail.
79
7.2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address
Follow the steps below to look up the IP address and access the Web
interface.
Note:
1. The computer you use to configure the IP address must be under
the same LAN with your camera.
2. The default Administrator and Guest accounts are no longer
supported by
GV-IPCam H.265 series firmware V1.14 or later.
When logging in for the first time, you need to set up a login
username and password for the camera. See Creating GV-IP
Camera’s Login Credentials at the beginning of the quick start
guide.
1. Install
GV-IP Device Utility from the company website.
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.

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 7.2.1
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.
83
7.2.3 Configuring the Wireless Connection

Chapter 9 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.
Before you start
z 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.
z Stop monitoring of the camera.
z Stop all remote connections, such as GV-VMS.
z While the firmware is being updated, the power supply must not be
interrupted.
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.
z Do not turn the power off within 10 minutes after the firmware is
updated.
