The GV-Recording Server is a video streaming server designed for large-scale video surveillance deployments. It can receive and record up to 128 channels from various IP video devices. Through an intuitive Web interface, each IP camera can be configured to record video continuously, upon motion detection, upon I/O trigger or according to a schedule. In addition, it can simultaneously distribute up to 300 channels to its clients which include GV-System (DVR/NVR system), GV-Control Center (central monitoring system) and Multi View (viewing software). Using the GV-Recording Server, the desired frame rates can be reached while the CPU loading and the bandwidth usage of IP video devices are significantly reduced.

Note: The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of the connections.

In some areas or countries, you may like to install 3G wireless Internet module (e.g. GPRS/UMTS) on the GV-Video Server or GV-Compact DVR but have the problem to obtain a public IP address from ISP. The Passive connection method of GV-Recording Server can solve the public IP issue by accepting the connection request from the GV-Video Server or GV-Compact DVR, and then distribute the video streaming to clients.

GV-USB Dongle

It is required to insert the GV-USB Dongle to the server to enable the GV-Recording Server software. The GV-USB Dongle supports connection with up to 128 IP channels and comes in two types, internal and external dongles. You can select a dongle to enable GV-IP video devices only, or a dongle to include both third‐party IP devices and GV‐IP devices. You can also select a dongle with GV-Video Gateway functions only or a GV-Recording Server dongle to access all functions.
