Press or switch on the power button to start the GV-SNVR.

IMPORTANT: For GV-SNVR0412 / 0812, only connect the system to the network through its
WAN port (No. 8, 2.2.4 GV-SNVR0412 / 0812) and not any of the PoE ports (No. 7, 2.2.4
GV-SNVR0412 / 0812), as they are meant for connecting to and assigning IP addresses for
IP devices by its internal, isolated DHCP server.

Note:
1. The GV-SNVR is DHCP enabled. When it is connected to the network, it will be
automatically assinged an IP address.
2. For GV-SNVR1600, the monitor used for VGA output must be capable of having a
screen resolution of 1080p. For GV-SNVR0411 / 0412 / 0811 / 0812 / 1611, when
configuring the camera’s video resolution to 4K, be sure your monitor is a 4K-capable
monitor.

4 Connecting the GV-SNVR

4.1 Network Connection for GV-SNVR1600


There are two network ports, LAN and WAN, for the GV-SNVR1600. If both network ports are
used simultaneously, only the WAN port can be connected to the Internet. Therefore, it is
recommended to connect the devices as below.

1. Connect GV-IP Cameras to the GV-SNVR1600 through the LAN port.


2. Connect GV-SNVR1600 to the Internet through the WAN port.

Note: When the LAN and WAN ports are used together, the Auto Search function is only
supported by the LAN port. To connect to GV-IP Cameras under the WAN, you can add the
cameras manually.
IMPORTANT: It is required to divide LAN and WAN networks into different subnets or
segments; otherwise, your network will fail. For details, see 3.3 Network in GV-SNVR User’s
Manual.

5 Connecting to GV-IP Cameras

5. Connecting to GV-IP Cameras

After you have installed the IP cameras under the same LAN as the GV-SNVR, you are ready
to display the channels on GV-SNVR. To automatically set up GV-IP Cameras, see the
section below. To manually add GV-IP Cameras, see 2.3.2 Manually Connecting GV-IP
Cameras in GV-SNVR User’s Manual.

1. Upon login, the GV-SNVR automatically searches and lists the IP cameras under the
same LAN.
2. For GV-SNVR0411 / 0811 / 1611 only, you are prompted with a dialog box asking if you
want to automatically assign IP address. The automatic assignment only applies to
cameras with IP address 192.168.0.10.

3. Click Apply. The GV-SNVR assigns unused IP addresses to the cameras in an


ascending numerical order and enables the connection.

Upon successful connection, the status displays “Connected”, with the resolution and
bandwidth being displayed in the corresponding columns. Close the Camera page to access
the live view.

Note: For GV-SNVR1611, IP cameras detected under the same LAN are listed starting from the
second page of the camera list, while the first page only displays the cameras that are connected
to the SNVR.

39
IMPORTANT:
1. By default, GV-IP Cameras use the IP address 192.168.0.10. The GV-SNVR will
automatically assign unused IP addresses to these cameras to avoid IP address conflict
with others under the same LAN.
2. For GV-SNVR0411 / 0811 / 1611, to connect to GV-ABL Series / ADR Series / AVD Series
/ EBD Series / TBL Series / TDR Series / TVD Series / SD2322-IR / 2722-IR / 3732-IR,
UVS-ABD1300 / ABL1300 / ADR1300 and EVS-ABD1300 / ABL1300 / ADR1300, your
network environment must have a DHCP server. Or, you can enable the DHCP Server
function of GV-SNVR0411 / 0811 / 1611 to automatically assign a dynamic IP address to
the cameras.. For details, refer to 3.3 Network in GV-SNVR User’s Manual.
3. The GV-SNVR connects to IP cameras with the default ID and password admin. If the IP
camera uses a different ID and password, click the Edit icon and type the correct
login information. For GV-IP cameras without default ID and password, see 3.1.1.1
Configuring GV-IP Cameras without Default ID and Password in GV-SNVR User’s
Manual.

4. The total bandwidth supported varies among GV-SNVR models. For detailed
specifications, refer to GV-SNVR comparison table. The total bandwidth can be found on
the top-right corner of the camera list.
