Point-Of-Sale (POS) Application
A POS device can be integrated to the 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 transaction 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:

7.1 Text-Mode POS Device
7.1.1 Windows-Based Direct POS Integration
You can integrate a POS device to 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. The dongle options include 1, 2, 4, 8,
12 and 16 ports.
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.
