Hybrid Solution Description
1. Specifications of the Hybrid solution. The Hybrid solution provides you 8 free IP channels for
GeoVision IP video devices, with the limit of 32 channels in total.
For example:
Number of analog channels + 8 free GV IP channels + Number of channels in USB dongle
(NVR(GV), NVR or Combo Dongle) <= 32 channels.
2. Connection of GeoVision IP devices to GV-System. To receive the video streaming of 8
channels or less from GeoVision IP video devices, there is no need to use an extra USB dongle. If
more than 8 GV IP channels are required, you need a NVR (GV) Dongle.
• The dongle options include: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 IP channels.
In this case, the total number of channels for your Hybrid system is: Number of analog channels +
8 free GV IP channels + Number of channels in your NVR (GV) Dongle <= 32 channels.
3. Connection of third-party IP devices to GV-System. To implement the Hybrid solution with
third-party IP video devices, you need a NVR Dongle.
• The dongle options include: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 IP
channel(s).
In this case, the total number of channels for your Hybrid system is: Number of analog channels
(+ 8 free GV IP channels) + Number of channels in your NVR Dongle <= 32 channels.
4. Connection of both GV and third-party IP devices to GV-System. To implement the Hybrid
solution with a mix of GeoVision and third-party IP video devices, you need a Combo Dongle.
• The dongle options are the combined options of NVR (GV) Dongle and NVR Dongle.
Inform your sales representative the exact number of third-party IP channels and additional
GV IP channels you need, so the Combo Dongle can be delivered upon your requirements.
For example, you need 8 third-party IP channels plus 8 additional GV IP channels, so the number
of channels in the requested Combo Dongle is 16. The total number of channels for your Hybrid
system will be: Number of analog channels + 8 free GV IP channels + Number of channels in your
Combo Dongle (e.g. 16) <= 32 channels.
