Chapter 1 Box Camera
The Box Camera is a series of indoor IP cameras consisting of fixed focal
and varifocal models in different resolutions. The Box Camera supports
lens replacement and features an automatic infrared-cut filter for day and
night surveillance. The super low lux models are capable of displaying
color live view in near darkness. Models equipped with a mini USB port
can be connected wirelessly through a GV-WiFi Adapter (optional). The
WDR Pro models can produce clear image for scenes with contrasting
intensity of lights. Models using P-Iris allow for precise control of exposure,
producing images with better clarity and contrast. The Box Camera models
are detailed below:

The pin assignment for the I/O terminal block:
For the output point, please check if your output device meets the following
Absolute Maximum Ratings before connecting it to the output point.
Breakdown Voltage 277V AC, 30V DC
Continuous Load Current 5A (NO), 3A (NC)
Note: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which
damage to the camera may occur. Continuous operation of the camera at
the absolute rating level may affect the camera reliability.

5.2 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 5.2.1 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 5.2.2 Configuring
the IP Address for more detail.
Note: By default, GV-PTZ010D is assigned with the fixed IP address

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.

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
5.2.1 Checking the Dynamic IP Address in the Quick Start
Guide. 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 1.6, 2.6, 3.5, 4.5. Loading Factory
Default.

Chapter 7 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.
