Note: 

The above data was determined using the bit rate listed above and hard disks with 

average R/W speed above 80 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 GV-
System or the IP camera that you wish to connect to.  

 

 

The hard disk space required to install GV-System must be at least 1 GB.  

 

To use Advance Video Analysis, at least 1 GB of memory is required.  

 

To use two or more of the following functions simultaneously, at least 2 GB of memory is 
required: Advance Video Analysis, Video Analysis, IP Camera and Pre-Record by 
Memory. 

 

3. CPU Requirements: 

 

For recording resolution of 640 x 480 or above, Pentium 4 processor with Hyper 
Threading is required. 

 

4. Default Settings: 

 

For software recording rates, all GV Cards are set to CIF. For hardware recording rates, 
GV-4008A / 4008 / 3008 Card is set to D1.
