The GV-IP decoder box plus is designed to decode incoming IP streams from GeoVision and third-party IP devices, and to serve as a medium for connecting the cameras and the monitor for video display in single view, quad view, and 9-division view. It supports third-party IP cameras that adhere to RTSP or onvif, and can automatically search for onvif supported third-party IP devices under the same LAN. To be used with only a monitor, the GV-IP decoder box plus 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. GV-joystick V2 can be installed to control GeoVision and third-party pt/ PTZ/ Speed dome cameras.
