• NVR (GV) Dongle: This is used for implementation of GV-NVR with GeoVision IP video devices. The dongle options include 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 IP channels.

• NVR Dongle: This is used for implementation of GV-NVR with third-party IP video devices. The dongle options include 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 IP channel(s).

• Combo Dongle: This is used for implementation of GV-NVR with a mix of GeoVision and third-party IP video devices. The dongle options include the combined options of NVR (GV) Dongle and NVR Dongle with the limit of 32 channels in total. Inform your sales representative of the exact number of GV IP channels and third-party IP channels you need, so the Combo Dongle can be delivered upon your requirements.

3rd party IP camera Integration

• The new guideline for the 3rd party IP integration as follows:

• Stage 1: After George agreed to support particular model of the 3rd party IP device which requested from sales or customer, then FAE or Vincent Chen will try to borrow that device for R&D do the further integration.

• Stage 2: When R&D have finished the integration and provide the patch file to FAE. FAE will test it with the physical IP device and see the result is OK or not. If FAE can’t get that device in hand, we will try to test it by remote connection or ask customer do the test and provide the test report to GeoVision.

 • Stage 3: If FAE got the test report and confirmed all functions are work OK, then FAE will put it on the

supported list and announced it to sales and branch offices immediately.

• Stage 4: FAE will confirm with R&D and get the details about what integration method we applied for that particular model of the 3rd party IP device. Then FAE will contact with manufacture and ask them provide the series product models which use the same H/W kernel and integration method to GeoVision.

• Stage 5: When FAE have above information from manufacture, then we will base on their replied or provided document to update these series models to our supported list directly. The only difference on these models that FAE will note “This model has the same protocol with the XXXXX IP device, but their compatibility has not been tested by GeoVision. Please take a test before purchasing the IP device.”
