Point-Of-Sale (POS) Application

A POS device can be integrated to GV-System. You can view transactions as they happen overlaid on

video channels. Transaction alerts can be configured, allowing instant notification of transaction events.

Video searches can be performed based upon a specific item or a period of time.

Before connecting a POS device to the GV-System, you need to know the printing mode of your POS

device: Text Mode or Graphic Mode. If you are not sure about the printing mode of your POS device,

refer to The Printing Mode of POS System/Cash Register at this link:

Windows-Based Direct POS Integration

You can integrate a POS device with the GV-System without requiring a GV-Data Capture Box. The

transaction data is directly transferred to the GV-System via a RS-232 serial cable or TCP/IP

connection.

Before You Start

Before you start, note the specifications below for the integration:

• This integration only supports the Windows-based POS device that can generate TXT, INI or JNL

files.

• An appropriate dongle is required for the integration to work.

• For serial port connection, up to 4 POS devices can be connected to one GV-System. For TCP/IP

connection, up to 16 POS devices can be connected to one GV-System.
