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:

7.1.1 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 supports Windows-based POS devices that can generate TXT, INI or JNL files

and POS devices that are compatible with Internet or OPOS Printer Driver protocols.

• 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.
