Description

Geovision GV-CENTERV2 CENTER V2 1 Port Dongle

Overview

The Geovision GV-CENTERV2 is a single-port expansion dongle that adds IP camera connectivity to existing CENTER V2 NVR systems without requiring full hardware replacement. Designed for mid-to-large installations where modular scaling is cheaper and faster than swapping the base appliance, this dongle plugs into compatible CENTER V2 platforms and immediately extends the system's camera input capacity — solving the common integration constraint of hitting channel limits during site expansion or after acquisition.

Compatibility

The GV-CENTERV2 integrates with Geovision CENTER V2 NVR platforms (Standard, Pro, and AI versions). It works with any ONVIF-compliant IP camera and bridges to GeoVision surveillance devices managed through GV-VMS V18/V20 or the GV-Center V2 platform itself. The dongle supports H.265 and H.264 compression, and carries two-way audio routing — meaning remote site comms and event-triggered audio playback remain functional after expansion. Verify exact CENTER V2 model compatibility via the GV-Selector tool before ordering, as port configurations vary across Standard (160-channel max), Pro, and AI editions.

Installation Notes

Power delivery is via PoE (802.3af), so a standard powered switch or injector is required — no separate 12V supply necessary. The dongle mounts in a rack footprint consistent with CENTER V2 appliances, reducing cable routing complexity in crowded security closets. Ensure the host CENTER V2 system firmware is current before adding the port dongle; Geovision occasionally gates new expansion hardware to minimum OS versions (Windows 10/11 or Server 2016/2019/2022 64-bit). No torque specs or special tools are required — standard RJ-45 connections and Ethernet best practices apply.
