Chapter 1 Introduction
The GV-IP Decoder Box is designed to decode incoming IP streams from GeoVision and
third-party IP devices, and displaying them on a digital or an analog monitor. To be used with
only a monitor, the GV-IP Decoder Box provides a cost-effective solution for video
surveillance as opposed to the traditional DVR and PC setup. The security administrator can
monitor channels, take snapshots of critical moments, and pause at a channel when events
occur, all through the supplied remote control. Connected GeoVision PTZ cameras such as
GV-PTZ010D, GV-PT110D and GV-IP Speed Dome can also be controlled through
GV-Joystick.
