Chapter 9
Camera settings
This chapter describes how to configure the IP cameras.
The TVN 10 can support up to 16 network cameras. The number of cameras supported
depends on the NVR model and available bandwidth.
Cameras supported
The NVR fully supports TruVision and UltraView IP cameras as well as TVE encoders.
It is compliant with the latest versions of ONVIF and PSIA for open standard
connectivity. However, it currently does not support specific third party IP camera
models.
Adding/removing IP cameras
Before adding an IP camera to the NVR system, it is important that the network settings
of the NVR are correctly set up.
IP cameras connected directly the NVR are automatically recognized by the unit and
set up with default settings. Other cameras connected via the network can be
discovered and added.
There are two ways to add a camera to the NVR system:
• Plug and Play: Use this method if the IP cameras are located on the same LAN as
the NVR.
The plug and play functionality is available for TruVision IP cameras, which can be
connected directly to the PoE ports and configured automatically.
Non plug and play cameras are all cameras connected over the network as well as
any camera that is connected to the PoE ports but is not a plug and play camera.
To power a non plug and play camera over PoE and connect it, plug it into a PoE
port and manually add the camera as it if was a network IP camera.
