Chapter 1 Introduction
The GV-IA1330 intercom controller features a built-in 2 MP camera and a 13.56 MHz reader.
Designed for integration with the GV-Cloud Access Control platform, it enables cloud-based
access management for up to 100,000 cards. The camera captures snapshots and streams
live video of entry or exit to GV-Cloud Access Control during access events.
When the GV-IA1330 touchpad is pressed, the platform displays an incoming call screen,
allowing the operator to view live video, communicate with the visitor, and perform door
control operations.

Chapter 2 Getting Started
This chapter contains basic information on how to connect GV-IA1330 to the network.
[Network Connection]
To connect GV-IA1330 to the network, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Connect the controller to the network using a regular network cable.
2. Connect power using one of these methods:
• Use a power adapter. See 1.5.5 Connecting to Power.
• Use Power over Ethernet (PoE). The power will be provided over the network cable.
3. Access the GV-IA1330 Web interface.
• If GV-IA1330 is installed in a LAN as a DHCP server, use GV-IP Device Utility to
look up its dynamic IP address. See 2.2 Looking Up the Dynamic IP Address.
• If GV-IA1330 is installed in a LAN without a DHCP server, it will use the default IP
address of 192.168.0.10. You can also assign a different static IP. See 2.3
Assigning an IP Address.
[Controller Settings]
Once GV-IA1330 is properly installed, refer to the following sections to configure
the door lock, alarms, outputs, readers and GV-Cloud Access Control connection.
• To connect to GV-Cloud Access Control and receive call notifications, see Chapter
3 GV-Cloud Access Control Integration.
• To adjust doorbell volume, see 4.7.2 Ports & Devices.
• To configure the door lock, alarms, outputs, extra readers, see 4.7.2 Ports & Devices.

2.1 Creating Login Credentials
When purchasing a new GV-IA1330 or after loading the default, you need to set up a login
password for it.
Note: By default, the Administrator’s username is admin and cannot be modified.
1. Download and install GV-IP Device Utility from the GeoVision website. The PC running
the utility must be on the same LAN as the GV-IA1330.
2. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for IP devices connected to
the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.
3. Identify your GV-IA1330 by its MAC address, click on its IP address and select Create
User Account. This dialog box appears.
4. Type a password. The new password must meet the password strength requirements.
5. Click OK.

2.2 Looking Up the Dynamic IP Address
When the controller is connected to LAN with a DHCP server, it is automatically allocated a
dynamic IP address. To obtain the IP address and access the GV-IA1330 Web interface,
follow the steps below.
Note: By default, the Administrator’s username is admin and cannot be modified.
1. Download and install GV-IP Device Utility from the GeoVision website. The PC running
the utility must be on the same LAN as the GV-IA1330.
1. On the GV-IP Utility window, click the button to search for IP devices connected to
the same LAN. Click the Name or Mac Address column to sort.
2. Identify your GV-IA1330 by its MAC address, click on its IP address and select Web
Page.
3. On the login page, enter the username (admin) and password to access the live view.
14
2.3 Assigning an IP Address
When the controller is connected to LAN without a DHCP server, it will use the default IP
address 192.168.0.10. Follow the steps below to assign a new IP address to avoid IP conflict
with other GeoVision devices.
Note: GV-IA1330 has the default IP address 192.168.0.10. The PC used to set the IP
address must be on the same network as the GV-IA1330.
1. Open the Web browser, and type the default IP address http://192.168.0.10
2. Type the username (admin) and password and click Apply.
3. Click Setup, and select Common in the left menu > Network > Basic Config.
4. Select Static from Obtain IP Address.
5. Type the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
6. Click Apply. The GV-IA1330 is now accessible by entering the assigned IP address into
a Web browser.
Note: If PPPoE is enabled, verify the IP address GV-IA1330 will get from the ISP for
login. If your GV-IA1330 connects to a public dynamic IP address via PPPoE, first use
the Dynamic DNS service to obtain a domain name that corresponds to the unit’s
changing IP address. For details on Dynamic DNS Server settings, see 4.2.3 DDNS.

PPPoE: The network environment is xDSL connection. Type the Username and
Password provided by ISP to establish the connection. If you use the xDSL
connection with dynamic IP addresses, first use the DDNS function to obtain a
domain name linking to the controller’s changing IP address.
DHCP: The network environment has a DHCP server which will automatically assign
a dynamic IP address to the controller. You can look up the current IP address using
GV-IP Device Utility.
◼ IPv6: Type the controller’s IPv6 Address and Default Gateway. Optionally change the
Prefix Length according to your network settings.
◼ MTU: Type the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU). The default value is 1500.
◼ Operating Mode: Select a mode to control the bandwidth.
4.2.2 DNS
Specify the controller’s Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server.
4.2.3 DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides a convenient way for accessing the
controller when operating under a dynamic IP environment. It assigns a domain name to the
controller, allowing users to connect without manually checking whether the IP address —
assigned by a DHCP server or ISP (in xDSL connection) — has changed.
30
To enable and configure DDNS on the controller:
1. Click On to enable the DDNS service.
2. Select a DDNS service provider you have registered with.
3. Type the registered Domain Name, Username, or Password, based on the DDNS
service requirements.
4. Confirm the password.

4.2.4 Port
You can modify the default HTTP, HTTPS and RTSP ports as needed.
4.2.5 Port Mapping
The Port Mapping function enables the controller to automatically forward and open specific
ports on your router. This allows remote access to the controller from the Internet,
streamlining connectivity without manual port configuration.
1. Enable Port Mapping
2. Select UPnP or Manual for Mapping Type.
• If your router supports UPnP, select Auto or Manual to configure external ports
automatically or manually.
• If your router does not support UPnP, select Manual and configure external ports.
If the configured port is occupied, the Status will show inactive.
3. Click Save.
Note: For this function to work, your router needs to support port forwarding.

4.3 Video & Audio
Under the Video & Audio, you can configure video streams and the audio input.
4.3.1 Video
You can set video parameters for the controller’s camera. You may also enable/disable the
sub-stream as needed.
36
◼ Capture Mode: Set the resolution of Main Stream and the maximum frame rate allowed.
The following options are available for the main and sub streams.
◼ Video Compression: Set the codec type to H.265, H.264 or MJPEG.
