Cybersecurity Recommendations
⚫ Use a strong password. For login password requirements, including supported
non-alphanumeric characters, length, and character categories, see this technical notice.
⚫ Set the password expiration time and regularly change the passwords of your devices to
ensure that only authorized users can access the system. (recommended time is 90 days).
⚫ The system will automatically check the latest firmware version once a day. Once the latest
version is checked, you’d better update it to ensure the system is current with the latest security
patches and fixes.
⚫ It is recommended to change the service default ports (like HTTP-80, HTTPS-443, etc.) to
reduce the risk of outsiders being able to access.
⚫ It is recommended to set the firewall of your router. But note that some important ports cannot
be closed (like HTTP port, HTTPS port, Data Port).
⚫ It is not recommended to expose the device to the public network. When it is necessary to be
exposed to the public network, please set the external hardware firewall and the corresponding
firewall policy.
⚫ It is not recommended to use the v1 and v2 functions of SNMP.
⚫ In order to enhance the security of WEB client access, please create a TLS certificate to
enable HTTPS.
⚫ Use black and white list to filter the IP address. This will prevent everyone, except those
specified IP addresses from accessing the system.
⚫ If you add multiple users, please limit functions of guest accounts.
⚫ If you enable UPnP, it will automatically try to forward ports in your router or modem. It is really
very convenient for users, but this will increase the risk of data leakage when the system
automatically forwards ports. Disabling UPnP is recommended when the function is not used in
real applications.
⚫ Check the log. If you want to know whether your device has been accessed by unauthorized
users or not, you can check the log. The system log will show you which IP addresses were used
to log in your system and what was accessed.

11.1 Motion Alarm
Motion Alarm: when a motion object appears in the specified area, it will trigger the alarm. You
should enable the motion of each camera first and then set the alarm handling of the camera to
complete the whole configuration of the motion alarm.
11.1.1 Motion Configuration
① Click Start
→
Settings
→
Camera
→
Motion
→
Motion Settings to go to the following interface.
② Select a camera, enable motion and set the sensitivity and duration of the camera.
Sensitivity: the higher the value is, the more sensitive it will be to motion. You should adjust the
value according to the practical conditions since the sensitivity is influenced by background color
and time (day or night).
Duration: The interval time between adjacent motion detections. For instance, if the duration time
is set to 10 seconds, once the system detects a motion, it will trigger the alarm and will not detect
any other motion (specific to that camera) for 10 seconds. If there is another motion detected
during this period, it will be considered as continuous movement.
Detection Target: For the camera with SMD function, you can check the detection target as
needed. If “People/Motor Vehicle” is enabled, the camera will only detect the movement of
people/motor vehicle. If no target is enabled, alarms will be triggered when the moving object
appears on the image, including people, vehicle or other moving objects.
③ Drag the camera image to set the motion area. You can set more than one motion area. Click
“All” to set the whole camera image as the motion area. Click “Reverse” to swap the motion area
and the non-motion area. Click “Clear” to clear all the motion areas.

default, but vehicles leaving the park don’t trigger alarms. Vehicles entering/leaving are classified
by recognition mode of the LPR/ANPR camera (recognizing when approaching or driving away).
When there is a vehicle approaching, the LPR/ANPR camera captures and reports its license
plate, the direction is recognized as “Enter” and the NVR analyzes whether the parking spaces
are full. If there are remaining parking spaces, the parking system opens the gate barrier and
reduces a remaining parking space. If the parking spaces are full, the gate barrier cannot be
opened. When a vehicle is been driving away, the barrier gate can be controlled by the ground
sense coil, the LPR/ANPR camera captures and reports its license plate, the direction is
recognized as “Exit/Leave” and the NVR increases a parking space.

14.1 Network Configuration
14.1.1 TCP/IP Configuration
Click Start
→
Settings
→
Network
→
TCP/IP to go to the following interface. By default, Obtain an
IP address automatically and Obtain DNS automatically are enabled, allowing the NVR to obtain
IPv4/IPv6 (if IPv6 is enabled) addresses and DNS information automatically. Optionally disable
these settings and enter the network addresses manually.
Note: When DHCP is disabled, the network interface uses the default IP address 192.168.0.100.
You can modify the MTU value according to the network condition (MTU, Maximum Transmission
Unit, can be modified according to network condition for higher network transmission efficiency).
Click “Apply” to save your settings.
Additionally, if you want to configure multiple IP addresses for a single network card (for example:
add devices from different network segments under the same switch), you can click “Advanced” to
set a secondary IP address.
Note:
Internal Ethernet Port
If you use an NVR with PoE network ports, click “Internal Ethernet Port” to go to the interface
below.
The internal Ethernet port is the port which connects all PoE ports with the NVR system. The PoE
ports are available if the internal Ethernet port is online; if it is offline, all the PoE ports will be
unavailable and it’s possible there’s an issue with the Ethernet port. The network address of the
internal Ethernet port can be changed to be in the same network segment as IP cameras which
are directly connected to the PoE ports of the NVR (Note that it is not recommended to change
the network address of the internal Ethernet port).
Mode: Non-long line mode or long line mode can be selectable. The non-line mode is the default
setting. If you want to run your PoE cameras longer than the standard 100M distance, you can
choose long line mode. The tradeoff will be that your network speed on all PoE ports will drop to
10MBPs.
126
⚫ Multiple Ethernet Ports Setting
If the NVR has two network ports or above, you can select the network work pattern as required.
TOE: Some models may support TOE mode. It is a technology for improving the network
transmission speed. Please enable it according to the actual network situation. If TOE is enabled,
it shall be high speed mode. Then multiple address setting or network fault tolerance can be
chosen and configured. If TOE is not enabled, it shall be compatible mode. Then the network fault
tolerance cannot be selected and set up.
Network Fault Tolerance:
The two network ports will be bound to one IP address if you select the “Network Fault Tolerance”
pattern. There are many advantages of this work pattern: 1. increase the bandwidth; 2. form a
network redundant array to share the load. When a failure happens to one network port, the other
port will take over the entire load immediately. The takeover process is seamless and the network
service will not be broken off.
Refer to the figure as shown below. If “Network Fault Tolerance” is selected, check “Obtain an
IPv4 address automatically”, and “Obtain DNS automatically” to get the network addresses
automatically, or manually enter IPv4/IPv6(if IPv6 is enabled) address select one Ethernet port as
the primary card and then click “Apply” to save the settings.
Multiple Address Setting:
If “Multiple Address Setting” is selected, the IP addresses of the two Ethernet ports should be set
respectively. Refer to the picture as shown below.
Check “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS automatically” to get the network
addresses automatically, or manually enter IPv4/IPv6(if IPv6 is enabled) address; select one
Ethernet port as the default route and then click “Apply” to save the settings.

Appendix A FAQ
Q1. Why can’t I find the HDD?
a. Please check the power and SATA data cables of the HDD to make sure they are properly
connected.
b. For some NVRs with the 1U or small 1U case, the power of the adapter may not be enough for
operating your HDD. Please use the power adaptor supplied along with your specific NVR.
c. Please make sure the HDD is compatible with the NVR. The GV-GNVR supports HDDs up to
10 TB and also supports validated HDD models over 10 TB listed in the GV-SNVR HDD
Compatibility Table.
d. The HDD may be defective. Try replacing it with a known working HDD.
Q2. Why are there no images in some or all the camera windows?
a. Please make sure the resolutions of the cameras are supported by the NVR.
b. Please make sure the network cables of the IP camera and NVR are both connected properly
and the network parameters are set correctly.
c. Please make sure the network and the switch both work normally.
Q3. Why does my screen have no output after booting the NVR normally?
a. Please make sure the screen, HDMI or VGA cables are functioning and properly connected.
b. Please make sure the screen supports the resolution of 1280*1024, 1920*1080 or 3840*2160
(4K*2K). The NVR cannot self-adapt to a screen of which the resolution is lower than 1280*1024,
In that event, the screen will remind you that the resolution is not supported by the NVR or just not
display anything. Please change the screen to 1280*1024, 1920*1080 or 3840*2160 resolution
before booting the NVR.
Q4. What do I do if I have forgotten my password?
a. The password for admin can be reset using one of the following methods:
⚫ Security Question: Click “Retrieve Password” in the login window and answer the
configured security questions. After all questions are answered correctly, you can reset
the admin password.
⚫ Dynamic Password: If the security questions are unavailable or the answers are
forgotten, contact GeoVision technical support at [email protected].tw for
assistance. A dynamic password can be generated using a dedicated tool to reset the
admin password.
Note: For security reasons, password reset operations can only be performed locally on the
device.
b. The passwords of other users can be reset by admin, please refer to Edit User for details.
Q5. Why will my NVR not accept the maximum number of IP cameras?
Take a 16 CH NVR as an example. Some 16 CH NVRs support a maximum of 120Mbps
bandwidth input (please take the real device as a standard). Refer to the picture below. The
155
remaining bandwidth should be larger than the bandwidth of the IP camera you want to add, or
you would fail to add an IP camera. You should lower the added cameras’ bitrate to relieve the
bandwidth. It is recommended to add cameras by “Quickly Add” for batch adding.
Q6. Why is an IP camera connected directly to the PoE port of my NVR not displayed
automatically in the camera list?
a. Please check whether a PoE port is occupied by another IP camera that may have been added
through the network (including a PoE switch).
⚫ Take a 16 CH NVR with 8 PoE ports as an example. The resource distribution of the 16 CH IP
cameras is shown in the picture below.
When you add IP cameras through network, the IP cameras will occupy the resource from CH1,
CH2, CH3, CH4…in the sequence they are added; if you directly connect IP cameras to the PoE
ports of the NVR, the IP cameras will occupy ports from CH9 to CH16 according to the number of
the PoE port each IP camera is connecting to.
Let’s say 12 IP cameras have been added to the NVR through the network and no IP cameras
have been directly connected to a PoE port. The 12 CH IP cameras occupy the 8 network
resources from CH1 to CH8 and 4 PoE resources from CH9 to CH12 which otherwise would have
been occupied by connecting the IP cameras directly. In this situation, if you directly connect one
IP camera to PoE5, PoE6, PoE7 or PoE8, the IP camera will be displayed in the camera list
automatically; if you connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, it won’t be displayed in the camera
list and will show a resource conflict; if you need to connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, you
should first delete the IP camera which occupies the PoE port resource and then reconnect your
camera to the PoE port.
⚫ Take a 8 CH NVR with 8 PoE ports as another example. The resource distribution of the 8 CH
IP cameras is shown in the picture below and the addition rules of the IP cameras are similar to
the rules mentioned above. Please refer to the above for details.
b. Please make sure that the internal Ethernet port and an IP camera which directly connects to a
PoE port through the ONVIF protocol are in the same network segment, or you will fail to add the
156
camera.
Log into the IP camera’s Web client and then enable DHCP (to obtain an IP address
automatically); or manually change the IP address of the IP camera to put it in the same network
segment as the internal Ethernet port.
c. Check whether the number of the added IP camera exceeds the maximum allowed.
If the number of IP cameras exceeds the maximum allowed, the system will alert you that the IP
camera count is exceeds the limit.
Q7. Why do I have no image output on an IP camera directly connected to the PoE port of
my NVR using the ONVIF protocol, even though it’s shown on the camera list?
Please make sure the username and password of the IP camera are correct. The IP camera’s
username and password can be modified through the two ways mentioned below.
① Click “Edit Camera” in the Camera module of the setup panel to go to the interface. Click
to modify the username and password of the IP camera (enter the correct username and
password of the IP camera in the popup window and then click “OK”).
② Go to the live view interface and then click in the preview window of the IP camera to edit
the IP camera’s username and password.
Q8. Why is my system not recording?
a. Make sure the HDD was formatted prior to use.
b. The recording schedule has not been set in customization mode. Please refer to Schedule
Settings for details.
c. It’s possible your HDD is full and the NVR is not able to record. Check HDD information from
Disk Management and if required, please enable the recycle function (please see Advanced
Configuration for details).
d. There is no disk in the disk group, so please add at least one disk to the group. Refer to
Storage Mode Configuration for details.
e. The HDD could have gone bad. Please change another one.
Q9. Fail to access the NVR remotely through a Web browser.
a. Check whether the PC firewall or antivirus software is blocking access. Try to access the NVR
again after you disable the firewall and stop the antivirus software.
b. The Allow List and Block List settings may have been configured in Account and Authority
Settings. A PC whose IP address is in the Block List or not included in the Allow List cannot
access the NVR remotely.
Q10. How do I play a backup file?
a. Recorded video backed up by NVR: insert the USB device with the recorded video backup files
unto the USB interface of a PC, and then open the USB device path. The recorded video can be
157
backed up in the private format and AVI format by NVR.
⚫ If you select the private format when backing up recorded video by NVR, a RPAS compression
package will be backed up to the USB device automatically along with the recorded video data.
Uncompress the “RPAS.zip” and then click “RPAS.exe” to set up RPAS. After the setup is
completed, open RPAS player and then click “Open Folder” in the middle of the interface to select
the record data. Refer to Fig 11-1.
Select a camera in the resource tree on the left side of the interface to play the camera record.
Click on the tool bar under the camera image to enable audio. Refer to Fig 11-2.
⚫ If you select the AVI format when backing up recorded video by NVR, the recorded video
backup data can be played by a video player that supports this format.
b. Recorded video backed up through web. The recorded video can only be backed up using AVI
format. The recorded video can be backed up to PC and played by the video player which
supports this format.
Fig 11-1
Note: The record will not have audio output if you disable the audio when recording by
NVR. Please see Mode Configuration and Encode Parameters Settings for details.

Fig 11-2
Q11. HTTPs service cannot work normally after directly installing the signed certificate.
a. When importing the certificate, the private key is not attached to the certificate.
b. When importing the certificate, the private key is attached to the certificate, but it is encrypted.
At present, the NVR doesn’t support the certificate with the encrypted private key.
Q12. You are prompted with the unsafe statements/tips when using HTTPs service.
a. Please make sure your certificate is trusted.
b. Make sure whether the Common Name (domain information) of the certificate matches with
the domain name of the visiting website.
c. Whether the certificate is within the period of validity.

Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity
The recording capacity is mainly up to the record resolution, record stream and bitrate. Different
image quality parameters decide different disk capacity occupation under equal circumstances.
The higher the recording resolution, recording stream and recording bitrate is, the more disk
capacity is taken up under equal circumstances. The calculation format of the recording capacity
is shown as below.
Recording Capacity(MB) = Bitrate(Kbps) ÷1024 ÷ 8 × 3600 × Recording hours per day ×
Record Storage Days × channel numbers
3600 means record for an hour(1TB=1024GB，1GB=1024MB，1MB=1024KB，1Byte=8bit).

For instance, there is a 32CH NVR recording 24 hours per day and the recordings are stored for
30 days and the NVR adopts dual stream recording. If the main stream is 4096Kbps and the sub
stream is 1024Kbps, then the total recording capacity is 49.45TB (39.56TB + 9.89TB).
Considering the format loss of the disk is about 10%, the required disk capacity will be 55TB
(49.45TB ÷ (1-10%)).
