Geovision GV-MFD1501-4F Mini Fixed Dome
Overview
The Geovision GV-MFD1501-4F is a 1.3MP fixed dome built for confined spaces and low-light back-of-house environments where discrete, minimal-profile mounting is mandatory. The 2.1mm lens delivers wide horizontal coverage — typical for retail corridors, stockroom entries, and under-cabinet scenarios where long cable runs or obtrusive hardware are not options. Super low-lux performance ensures usable capture in dim areas without boosting gain and degrading image quality. At under 5W via standard PoE (802.3af), it won't burden your switch power budget. Compact dome form factor sits flush against ceiling or wall without the protrusion of a bullet or turret, making it the right choice when camera presence must be minimal and cable length is constrained to 1.3 meters.
Compatibility
The GV-MFD1501-4F integrates with Geovision GV-NVR and GV-DVR systems via ONVIF protocol. Before ordering, confirm your NVR firmware revision supports 1.3MP H.264 streams — older Geovision recorders may require codec or resolution downsampling. Works with any PoE-capable switch delivering 802.3af power (minimum 13W per port). No special licensing or codec modules required for standard PoE operation.
Installation Notes
Cable run is fixed at 1.3 meters from camera to PoE source — measure your drop from switch to mounting point carefully. If your infrastructure run exceeds 1.3m, plan for a secondary splitter or additional cabling at the camera end. Dome housing is designed for ceiling or short-arm wall mounting; confirm mounting surface can support dome weight and your intended orientation. PoE injection occurs at the switch or midspan injector — no separate 12V supply needed. In environments below 0°C, low-light performance margin may reduce; verify operating envelope matches your deployment region.
