GV-NVR

INTRODUCTION
GV-NVR (Network Video Recorder) records video and audio data over TCP/IP networks. With up to 32 channels of pure IP surveillance,
GV-NVR offers the same functions as GV series surveillance systems. With additional licenses, GV-NVR supports up to 32 channels of
third-party IP devices. 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 cameras, GV-NVR takes advantage of a superior image quality thanks to the progressive scan technology
and allows advanced video features such as unattended and missing object detection. Compatibility with a wide range of third-party IP
cameras through ONVIF makes GV-NVR the ultimate solution for pure IP surveillance environments.

Built upon comprehensive and easy-to-integrate hardware and supporting technologies, GV-Surveillance and Video Management
Platform is the core system platform that provides performance-optimized video monitoring and various advanced video analytics
features to support many of enterprise’s management functions. It is a scalable, extensible platform that can be customized and
integrated seamlessly with other security system applications, such as:
1. POS/ ATM/ EAS for loss prevention
2. Access Control for building automation
3. License Plate Recognition system for law enforcement, entrance control and revenue collection
4. Megapixel IP cameras for monitoring critical areas and mobile objects
5. Central Monitoring stations for high-profile security areas in commercial, industrial, and residential markets

Note: The data above was determined using the bit rate listed above and hard disks with average R/W speed above 110 MB/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.

GPU Decoding Specifications

A higher total frame rate can be achieved if your CPU comes with onboard GPU.
Onboard GPU: GPU decoding is only supported when using the following Intel CPU:
For H.264 Video Compression
• 2nd Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Sandy Bridge) - only support 1 MP to 2 MP videos
• 3rd Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Ivy Bridge)
• 4th Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Haswell / Haswell Refresh)
• 6th Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Skylake)
• 7th Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Kaby Lake)
• 8th Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Coffee Lake)

For H.265 Video Compression

• 6th Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Skylake)
• 7th Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Kaby Lake)
• 8th Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Coffee Lake)
Note: You can install multiple external graphic cards, but it is required to connect a monitor to the on-board VGA to activate H.264 / H.265 GPU
decoding.
