Introduction
Both GVP-201 and GVP-201W are of compact and high resolution (1600x1200) Network Cameras
featured with superior H.264-AVC performance and multiple functions. They are perfect for indoor
applications such as factories, retailer stores, residence, restaurants, hotels, schools and pre-schools,
caring centers, etc.
GVP-201’s H.264-AVC video compression has significantly lowered down the requirements for bandwidth
and storage size without compromising image quality. Motion JPEG and multiple independent video
streaming are also supported for even better flexibility.
The camera offers wired Ethernet connection to the network and optional wireless connectivity
(IEEE802.11b/g) for flexible installations. It includes 7 IR LEDs for illuminating the scene automatically or
when requested by the user. Further functions include two-way audio with integrated high-sensitivity
microphone and audio output, Micro SD card support and digital PTZ (4X) to focus any location you would
like to highlight in the image.

Installation
1. Hardware Connection

5
2. Software Installation
The following software is necessary for the proper display and use of the camera from the Web site. The
software will be taken from the Software Package CD.
IP Installer
The IP Installer is used to locate and configure Network Cameras and video servers on the LAN. This
utility is useful for conveniently configuring the network settings of the device, or for finding a device
once the network settings have been modified.
To install the IP Installer, from the Software Package CD UI, select IPInstaller, and then follow the on
screen instructions.
VLC
Though not necessary, this can be used for viewing the streaming without a Web browser. Besides, the
VLC may be helpful in reviewing the recorded video files in the Micro SD card. Please refer to the
appendix II & III for more details on how to install and use the VLC program.
Network Configuration
IPInstaller is a utility that provides an easier, more efficient way to configure the IP address and network
settings of the devices. It even provides a convenient way to set the network settings for multiple
devices simultaneously using the batch setting function. Moreover, IP Installer can save the network
settings for all devices as a backup and restore them when necessary. IPInstaller is able to help
non-professional users to quickly setup their network cameras to work in a professional manner.
Preparation before IP Assignment
1. Always consult your network administrator before assigning an IP address to your server in order to
avoid using a previously assigned IP address.
2. Ensure the device is powered on and correctly connected to the network. This network can be simply a
hub, PC and the network camera; and the network camera may directly connect to the PC too.
3. MAC Address: Each device has a unique Ethernet address (MAC address) shown on the label of the
device as the serial number (S/N) with 12 digits (e.g. 000429-XXXXXX).
4. Although the IPInstaller is able to find and configure any Network Cameras in the LAN except those that
are behind a router, it is a good idea to set the host PC to the same subnet. In order to connect to the
Web-based user interface of the camera, the host PC must be in the same subnet. For more information

about subnets, please consult your network administrator.
Using IPInstaller to Assign an IP Address to GVP-201 / GVP-201W
1. Once IP Installer has been successfully installed on the PC, double click the IPInstaller icon on the
desktop, or select it from Start > Programs > IP Installer > Launch IP Installer.
2. Click the “Device Search” tool bar and search the device in the LAN.
Please note that he firewalls of your Windows or Anti-virus software might block IPInstaller from
searching the cameras. In this case you would need to unblock IPInstaller software from the firewalls, or
to manually make this IPInstaller software an exception to the firewalls.
3. From the list, select the device with the MAC Address that corresponds to the device which is to be
configured. The MAC Address is identical to the unit’s S/N (Serial Number).
4. Select the “Single Device Setting” item to open the Property Page for the selected device.
5. After filling in the properties, click [Set] button to complete the configuration settings in the remote
device.

Example about how to know the user’s PC and network information from command prompt. Simply type in
“ipconfig” in the Command Prompt screen, press Enter, and you will see the related information which
shows you the PC’s IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, etc.
The first three digits of the network camera’s IP must be same as the first three digits of the PC’s IP
address. In the above example the PC’s IP address is 192.168.1.6., and we have set the camera’s IP to be
192.168.1.188..

Open the Web-based UI of the Selected camera
1. To access the Web-based user interface of the selected unit by selecting “Open web” from the slide-bar.
2. If the device has been configured correctly, the default Web browser, the Internet Explorer, will open to
the home page of the selected device.
3. If you find your browser is opened and automatically connected to the camera Home Page, it means
you’ve assigned an IP Address to the unit successfully. Now you can close the IP Installer and start to
use your camera.
4. Usually the users no longer need to run the IPInstaller software again after configuring the cameras
correctly.
Verify and Complete the Installation from Your Browser
If not able to get the ActiveX downloaded properly, user must temporarily lower the security settings to
perform a one-time-only installation of the ActiveX component onto the workstation, as described below:
- From the Tools menu, select [Internet Options] -> [Security] -> [Custom Level]
- Set the security level to Low and click [OK].
- Depends on different versions of browser software used, the users may have to set the individual ActiveX
settings from “Disable” to “Prompt” or “Enable” if necessary for completing the ActiveX program
downloads.
- Restore the security level after the ActiveX installation.
