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:
