Datasheet
INTRODUCTION
The GV-NVR (Network Video Recorder) records video and audio data over TCP/IP networks. With up to 32 channels of pure IP surveillance, the GV-NVR offers the same functions as GV-Series Surveillance System. From monitoring features to video analytics as well as integration with LPR, POS/ATM and Access Control systems, it stands as one of the most comprehensive IP surveillance software in the security market.
Combined with GeoVision IP camera, the GV-NVR takes advantage of a better image quality thanks to the progressive scan technology and allows advanced video features such as Picture-In-Picture and Picture-And-Picture. Compatibility with a wide range of third party IP cameras makes the GV-NVR the ultimate solution for pure IP surveillance environments.

Built upon comprehensive and easy-to-integrate hardware and supporting technologies, the GV-Surveillance and Video Management Platform is the core system platform that provides performance-optimized video monitoring and various advanced video analytics/control features to support many of enterprise’s management functions. It is a scalable, extensible platform that can be customized and seamlessly integrated with other security system applications, such as:
- POS/ ATM/ EAS for loss prevention
- Access Control for building automation
- License Plate Recognition system for law enforcement, entrance control and revenue collection
- Megapixel IP devices for critical area and mobile object monitoring
- Central Monitoring stations for high profile security areas in commercial, industrial and residential markets
In addition the remote management WebCam and versatile storage system framework offer high scalability and extensibility for future integration with other functions or systems at remote sites.

IMPORTANT:
1. To connect IP cameras with H.264 codec and GV-IP Speed Dome (no matter which codec you select), the minimum CPU requirement of Core 2 Quad can only support up to 8 channels. With CPU of Core i7 or higher, you can record up to 32 channels but note the following limit for live viewing:
• For live viewing of 32 channels, you need to lower the resolution and change the codec to MPEG 4 or MJPEG.
2. For the users of 32-bit Windows, the memory limit of GV-NVR is 1.7 GB with 2 GB RAM. For the users of 64-bit Windows, the memory limit of GV-NVR is 1.7 GB with 2 GB RAM and 3 GB with 4 GB RAM. If the high memory issue persists, the GV-NVR will become unstable.
| Frame Rate Limit in a Single Hard Disk |
| Since the size of transmitted data from IP cameras may be quite large and reach beyond the transfer rate of a hard disk, you should note the total of recording frame rates that you can assign to a single hard disk, as listed below: |

Note:The above data was determined using the bit rate listed above and hard disks with average R/W speed above 80MB/s.
The frame rate limit is based on the resolution of video sources. The higher video resolutions, the lower frame rates you can assign to a single hard disk. In other words, the higher frame rates you wish to record, the more hard disks you need to install. For the information of recording frame rates, you may consult the user’s manual of the IP camera that you wish to connect to.
