4-Step Installation Process
GXV36xx camera installation is completed in 4 easy steps:
1. Mount/install camera in the desired location. All Grand-
stream cameras come with mounting kits (screws included) or
have a mounting kit built into the camera. Dome Cameras –
Made for ceiling mounting. Other mounting kits are available for
our most powerful dome camera – the GXV3662 – to allow this
dome camera to be mounted on a wall or mounted flush into a
wall or ceiling.
Box Cameras – Available with an adjustable tripod-like device
for mounting on a wall or on a ceiling simply changing the angle
of the tripod mount.
GXV3674 series – This camera is made primarily for wall
mounting.
2. Connect cameras to your network – Several options are avail-
able for connecting cameras back to the network. Make sure
to allow for an Ethernet cable to run to the camera where it’s
mounted for power/network connection.
a. Connect cameras to a PoE switch – This is the most com-
mon installation method because it’s the easiest installation
method. All Grandstream cameras feature built-in PoE which
means an Ethernet cable can deliver both a network con-
nection and power if connected back to a PoE switch. Make
sure all PoE switches are network connected either through
a direct connection or connecting the switch to a router or
gateway.
i. A PoE switch could be centrally located centrally some-
where in an office. In this case, run all of the cables back
to that PoE switch, or connect the Ethernet ports on the
walls of the office back to the PoE switch so that all you
need to do is plug cameras into existing wall outlets.
ii. Another option is to deploy multiple 2-4 port PoE switches
near cameras in remote areas and connect the switches
together through the network.
