CHAPTER 7
Point-Of-Sale (POS) Application
A POS device can be integrated to the GV-System. You can view transactions as they happen overlaid
on video channels. Transaction alerts can be configured, allowing instant notification of transaction
events. Video searches can be performed based upon a specific transaction item or a period of time.
Before connecting a POS device to the GV-System, you need to know the printing mode of your POS
device: Text Mode or Graphic Mode. If you are not sure about the printing mode of your POS device,
refer to The Printing Mode of POS System/Cash Register at this link:

7.1.1 Windows-Based Direct POS Integration
You can integrate a POS device to the GV-System without requiring a GV-Data Capture Box. The
transaction data is directly transferred to the GV-System via a RS-232 serial cable or TCP/IP
connection.

• This integration only supports the Windows-based POS device that can generate TXT, INI or JNL
files.
• An appropriate dongle is required for the integration to work. The dongle options include 1, 2, 4, 8,
12 and 16 ports.
• For serial port connection, up to 4 POS devices can be connected to one GV-System. For TCP/IP
connection, up to 16 POS devices can be connected to one GV-System.
