GeoVision GV-BX5700-8F 5 Megapixel HD Network Camera - Color, Monochrome

The GeoVision GV-BX5700-8F is a versatile indoor IP camera designed for professional surveillance with a focus on clarity, flexibility, and reliable night-and-day performance. This 5 Megapixel HD network camera delivers impressive detail in both color and monochrome modes, making it ideal for retail spaces, offices, hallways, and entry points where accurate identification and situational awareness are critical. The GV-BX5700-8F family encompasses both varifocal and fixed focal models, giving you the freedom to tailor field of view to the exact needs of each location—whether you’re monitoring a wide lobby or focusing on a cash register area. With advanced compression via the H.265 codec, you can maintain superb image quality while dramatically reducing bandwidth and storage requirements, enabling you to expand coverage without overhauling your network or archiving capabilities. Its Low Lux CMOS image sensor enhances performance in challenging lighting, providing clean, usable video when lighting is less than ideal. In short, this camera blends high-resolution imaging with practical features that support proactive security, deep analytics, and straightforward integration into existing security ecosystems.

• High-resolution 5 MP imaging for precise detail – The GV-BX5700-8F captures sharp 5 Megapixel video, delivering crisp detail that helps with recognition tasks such as facial features, badges, and license plate text. The Low Lux CMOS sensor improves performance in dim lighting, ensuring color fidelity during daylight and clear monochrome imagery when ambient light falls, so critical footage remains usable around the clock.
• Efficient H.265 video encoding – Take advantage of the H.265 codec to achieve superior compression without sacrificing image quality. This means smaller file sizes, reduced bandwidth, and lower storage costs, which is especially beneficial when you deploy multiple cameras or require longer retention periods. The efficient codec also supports smoother remote viewing and faster access to live feeds on slower networks.
• Flexible focal options: varifocal and fixed focal models – The GV-BX5700-8F series offers both varifocal and fixed focal configurations, allowing you to optimize coverage for each site. Varifocal lenses provide adjustable field of view and zoom to capture wide entrances or narrow aisles as needed, while fixed focal models deliver a compact, cost-effective solution for tight spaces. This versatility helps maximize image quality in every location without compromising installation simplicity.
• Color and Monochrome Day/Night imaging – Designed for all-day surveillance, the camera smoothly transitions between color in well-lit conditions and monochrome mode in low light to preserve detail and clarity. This Day/Night capability, powered by the Low Lux CMOS sensor, ensures consistent visibility across varying lighting scenarios—critical for identifying individuals and events during dusk, dawn, or in dim hallways.
• Indoor IP camera with easy integration and robust features – Engineered for indoor environments, the GV-BX5700-8F supports seamless integration into modern IP security ecosystems. Expect multi-stream support, network-friendly bandwidth management, motion detection, privacy masking, and remote access for monitoring from desktops or mobile devices. The package-ready box design also simplifies on-site installation and future servicing or expansion, making it a dependable cornerstone for a streamlined security setup.

how to install GV-BX5700-8F

• Plan and prepare: Assess the installation site to determine the best height, angle, and reach to maximize coverage while minimizing glare and blind spots. Consider entryways, main corridors, and high-traffic zones, and ensure a stable mounting surface.
• Mount the camera: Secure the GV-BX5700-8F housing to the chosen surface using the supplied mounting hardware. Route cables neatly to minimize tampering and potential damage, and ensure the enclosure remains protected in its indoor environment.
• Connect power and network: Use the compatible power option for your model (the GV-BX5700-8F family is designed for easy network integration and typically supports standard IP power options). Connect the camera to your LAN and power source, ensuring the network port is accessible for configuration.
• Discover and configure: Access the camera via its web interface or your GeoVision management software to discover the device on the network. Assign a stable IP address (static or DHCP reservation), set date/time, and configure basic network parameters for reliable connectivity.
• Optimize streams and image settings: Enable H.265 encoding for efficient bandwidth use and adjust resolution to 5 MP to capture crisp detail. Configure multiple streams if needed, set frame rates to balance smooth motion with storage capacity, and tailor Day/Night mode, exposure, white balance, and noise reduction to the lighting conditions at the installation site. Enable motion detection and privacy masking as required for security and privacy compliance.
• Finalize security and maintenance: Update firmware to the latest version, set user access permissions, and implement strong passwords. Confirm remote access works on mobile devices and desktops, perform a live test across the expected lighting conditions, and secure all cabling and mounting hardware.
