when you are managing several DVRs in a facility.

Introduction of New Hardware
GV-Keyboard
The GV-Keyboard is designed to support exclusively GeoVision DVR systems.
Hybrid DVR Card (GV-MPEG2 Hard Compression Card)
You may choose to purchase Hybrid DVR cards in addition to your GV-system. 
Each Hybrid DVR card (hardware compression card) gives 4 video and audio
channels recording at resolution 720x480 (NTSC) or 720X576 (PAL) with low
CPU usage.
GV-HUB
The device could help you in two ways.  One is that it provides four RS-232
and four 485 ports so that one GV-system could now support up to 4 POS
systems.  Second is that the device serves as four GV-NETs.
Upgrade to version 7.0 with USB Dongle
Instead of using S1 chipset as in version 6.1, upgrade is made easier in
version 7.0.  Ask for a USB dongle if wish to upgrade to version 7.0 in
GV-600, GV-650 and GV-800.  Upgrades are possible only through authorized
distributors
