Chapter 1 Introduction
GV-SNVR is an H.264/H.265 Linux-embedded Standalone Network Video Recorder that
records video files directly to the internal hard drive, supporting up to 4 / 8 / 16 channels of IP
cameras for network surveillance. With the feature of a Full HD HDMI video output, the
GV-SNVR eliminates the need of a separate PC to view and play back video images from the
unit. Its USB ports allow you to connect a USB flash drive to import or export system settings,
update firmware, save snapshot files and back up videos in AVI format.
Optionally, you can connect a GV-Joystick V2 to control connected PTZ cameras. In addition,
you can remotely access the live view and recorded videos through mobile devices, SNVR
Viewer or Web browsers with advanced video features.

GV-SNVR.
Press or switch on the power button to start the GV-SNVR.
IMPORTANT: For GV-SNVR0412 / 0812, only connect the system to the network through its
WAN port (No. 8, Figure 1-15 / 1-14) and not any of the 4 / 8 PoE ports (No. 7, Figure 1-15 /
1-14), as they are meant for connecting to and assigning IP addresses for IP devices by its
internal, isolated DHCP server.
Note:
1. The GV-SNVR is DHCP enabled. When it is connected to the network, it will be
automatically assinged an IP address.
2. For GV-SNVR1600, the monitor used for VGA output must be capable of having a
screen resolution of 1080p. For GV-SNVR0411 / 0412 / 0811 / 0812 / 1611, when
configuring the camera’s video resolution to 4K, make sure your monitor is a 4K-capable
monitor.

2.2.1 Network Connection for GV-SNVR1600
There are two network ports, LAN and WAN, for the GV-SNVR1600. If both network ports are
used simultaneously, only the WAN port can be connected to the Internet. Therefore, it is
recommended to connect the devices as below.

2.2.2 Accessing the GV-SNVR
This function is only for GV-SNVR0411 / 0412 / 0811 / 0812 / 1611.
When turning on the GV-SNVR for the first time or loading default settings, a login window
appears. Follow the steps below to access the GV-SNVR.

1. Type the default Username and Password: admin and click Apply to log in. You can
choose to redefine the Username and Password for the GV-SNVR by typing in the
desired values. Retype your new password again and click Next Step to log in.
2. For GV-SNVR0411 / 0811 / 1611, enable DHCP Server to automatically assign IP
addresses for IP cameras connecting to the GV-SNVR. Click Next Step to continue.
Figure 2-32
Note:
1. For GV-SNVR0412 / 0812, any IP device connected to its 4 / 8 PoE ports is automatically
assigned an IP address by its internal, isolated DHCP server, and communicates with the
network only via the SNVR.
2. GV-SNVR0412 / 0812 only, for any IP device powered by one of its 4 / 8 PoE ports, a Reboot
button is available next to the Camera Edit button for you to disconnect and reconnect the IP
device from power.

2.3 Setting Up IP Cameras
After installing the IP cameras under the same LAN as the GV-SNVR, you can now add the
cameras to GV-SNVR.
2.3.1 Automatically Setting Up IP Cameras
To automatically set up the IP cameras, follow the steps below.
1. Upon login, the GV-SNVR automatically searches and lists the IP cameras under the
same LAN.
2. For GV-SNVR0411 / 0811 / 1611 only, you are prompted with a dialog box asking if you
want to automatically assign IP address. The automatic assignment only applies to
cameras with IP address 192.168.0.10.
Figure 2-33
3. Click Apply. The GV-SNVR assigns unused IP addresses to the cameras in an
ascending numerical order and enables the connection.
Figure 2-34
Upon successful connection, the status displays “Connected”, with the resolution and
bandwidth being displayed in the corresponding columns. Close the Camera page to access
the live view.
Note: For GV-SNVR1611, IP cameras detected under the same LAN are listed starting from the
second page of the camera list, while the first page only displays the cameras that are connected
to the SNVR.
Getting Started
44
2
IMPORTANT:
1. By default, GV-IP Cameras use the IP address 192.168.0.10. The GV-SNVR will
automatically assign unused IP addresses to these cameras to avoid IP address conflict with
others under the same LAN.
2. For GV-SNVR0411 / 0811 / 1611, to connect to GV-ABL Series / ADR Series / AVD Series /
EBD Series / TBL Series / TDR Series / TVD Series / SD2322-IR / 2722-IR / 3732-IR,
UVS-ABD1300 / ABL1300 / ADR1300 and EVS-ABD1300 / ABL1300 / ADR1300, your
network environment must have a DHCP server. Or, you can enable the DHCP Server
function of GV-SNVR0411 / 0811 / 1611 to automatically assign a dynamic IP address to the
cameras. For details, refer to 3.3 Network.
3. The GV-SNVR connects to IP cameras with the default ID and password admin. If the IP
camera uses a different ID and password, click the Edit icon
and type the correct login
information. For GV-IP cameras without default ID and password, see 3.1.1.1 Configuring
GV-IP Cameras without Default ID and Password.
4. The total bandwidth supported varies among GV-SNVR models. For detailed specificiations,
refer to GV-SNVR datasheets. The total bandwidth can be found on the top-right corner of the
camera list.
