Physical installation
This section describes how to install the recorder.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
•
Ventilation
•
Temperature
•
Moisture
•
Chassis load
Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the
unit is well ventilated.
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °F)
and noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation
location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits
may reduce the life expectancy of the recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other
hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted DVR units.
Moisture: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal
components. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain
or moisture.
Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the
unit.
Unpacking the recorder and its accessories

Using the IR remote control
The recorder is supplied with an infrared (IR) remote control unit. Like the mouse, it can
be used to operate all of the main functions of the unit.
You can program the IR remote control with a unique device ID address so that the
controller will only be able to communicate with recorders with that address. No
programming is necessary if using a single recorder.
The device ID address only applies when using a remote control and not when using a
keypad.
The remote control is only included for US.
For EMEA: You can purchase a remote control by ordering part number TVRREMOTE-1.

Layout
The Layout window allows you to define the layout of each of the different views as they
are shown when selecting the different live views or the sequencing order.
The cameras are sequenced in numeric order by default. You can change the order of
the cameras for all monitors.
The camera order in the different views is consistent. This means that if Channel 2 is
the first camera shown in the single camera view then it will also be the top left camera
of the 4-channel view.
You can switch the channel of a camera with that of another camera in the system. This
lets you, for example, have the images of camera 1 appear on channel 10, and the
images of camera 10 appear on channel 1. This feature is useful when you want to
watch the sequence of images from specific cameras so that they are next to each
other on-screen.
See Figure 21 on page 55. Each video tile displays both the order of the camera on
screen and the camera number.
Go to Display Settings > Display to modify the dwell time for sequencing.

Chapter 10: Camera setup
A. IP cameras and their passwords
When you add an IP camera to the recorder via the LAN or PoE ports (for TVN 22S
models), the system automatically checks the camera’s password to ensure that it is
the same as that of the recorder or that it is 1234. There are two scenarios:
Camera already has a password (activated):
The recorder automatically detects the camera and checks its password to see if it is
the same as that of the recorder or if it is 1234. If it is either, then the camera is
successfully added to the recorder.
If the camera password is not the same as that of the recorder, nor 1234, it will be
added to the recorder but will appear as offline. You can then change the camera
password in the Camera Setup menu.
New camera without a password (not yet activated):
The recorder detects the camera and pushes its admin login and password to the
camera.
B. Adding IP cameras
There are two ways to connect an IP camera:
The recorder can connect to IP cameras on the LAN network
The IP cameras can be connected to the PoE ports at the back of the recorder
LAN network:
There are two ways to connect an IP camera to the LAN network:
To automatically add an IP camera via the LAN network:

Camera tab.
The cameras are added to the end of the list of devices in the IP camera window.
5. To test if a camera connection is operational, select the desired camera from the list
of devices connected to the recorder and click Live. A pop-up window will appear
showing the camera’s live view.
Note: If cameras still have default settings, they might have the same IP addresses.
This creates an IP conflict. Use the Edit button to assign a different IP address to
each camera. Ensure that for each camera to successfully connect the cameras.

PoE ports:
You do not need to search for IP cameras connected to PoE ports as they are
automatically recognized when plugged in. However, they are only recognized if their
password is the same as that of the recorder or is 1234. If their password is different,
follow the instructions below to add the IP camera.
To add an IP camera with a different password or which is not 1234 to the recorder:
1. Connect the IP camera to a network and set the camera’s IP address to
192.168.254.x (where “x” is between 1 and 254).
Note: The camera’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the internal NIC IPv4
address of the recorder (under Network Settings). The recorder’s default NIC IPv4
address is 192.168.254.1. However, you can use another IP address, if desired.
2. Plug the IP camera into the PoE port of the recorder.
The Plug and Play function cannot detect the camera as the passwords are
different. It cannot detect the IP address given to the camera.
3. From the menu toolbar, click Camera Setup > IP Camera Status.
4. Select the IP camera and click Edit. Change it from Plug and Play to Manual.
5. Change the IP address to the address set up in step 1 and enter the password for
the camera.
6. Save the settings. The camera will be recognized and come online.

PoE power budget (TVN 22S only)
The PoE power budget information is only available for the TVN 22S.
It is important when installing IP cameras to calculate the total power consumption
required so that it is less than the power budget of the NVR switches. The NVR lets you
easily track on-screen the current and remaining power consumption for all cameras
directly connected to its switches. See Figure 23 below.
Figure 23: PoE power budget information on IP cameras
1. Select the PoE type required for each camera.
2. Dynamic tracking of the current PoE power consumption (blue), unallocated PoE power (white),
and remaining allocated PoE power budget (green) shown.
The IP cameras will specify which type of PoE they require. You can set up each
camera individually for No PoE, PoE-at, PoE-af, or 12.5 W. A PoE port can support up
to 30 W maximum.
The recorder has a maximum of 8 or 16 PoE ports, depending on the model. The total
PoE power budget for the 8-channel recorder is 120 W, and that for the 16-channel
recorder is 200 W.
The PoE-af port can support between 0 and 15.4 W and the PoE-at port can support
between 0 and 30 W. See Table 11 on page 61 for a description of the maximum
number of IP cameras that can be connected depending on the PoE type used.

The sensitivity level determines how much blur is tolerated by the
camera before triggering an alarm. When enabled, the camera
regularly checks the level of image focus (to allow for variations
in light during the day) and then compares the current image to
that of the reference image to see if there is a difference. A high
sensitivity level means that there cannot be a large variance
between the reference and current image.

See “Internet Explorer users” on page 145 for more information.
802.1X
802.1X is a standard for port-based access control. It provides an authentication
mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a LAN (or WLAN).
802.1X authentication involves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an
authentication server. The supplicant is a client device (such as a recorder) that wishes
to attach to the LAN (WLAN)
The authenticator is a network device, such as an Ethernet switch or wireless access
point. The authentication server is typically a host running software supporting the
RADIUS and EAP protocols. In some cases, the authentication server software may be
running on the authenticator hardware.
The authenticator acts like a security guard to a protected network. The supplicant (i.e.,
client device) is not allowed access through the authenticator to the protected side of
the network until the supplicant’s identity has been validated and authorized by the
authentication server. With 802.1X port-based authentication, the supplicant provides
credentials, such as user name/password or digital certificate, to the authenticator, and
the authenticator forwards the credentials to the authentication server for verification. If
the authentication server determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant (client
device) is allowed to access resources located on the protected side of the network.
To use 802.1X with the recorder, the network switch needs to also to support 802.1X.
To define the 802.1X parameters:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration > Network > 802.1X.
2. Select Enable IEEE 802.1X to enable the feature.
3. Configure the 802.1X settings. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-TLS.
If EAP-PEAP is selected:
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) fully encapsulates EAP and is
designed to work within a TLS (Transport Layer Security) tunnel that may be
encrypted but is authenticated. The primary motivation behind the creation of PEAP
was to help correct the deficiencies discovered within EAP since that protocol
assumes that the communications channel are protected.

camera screen that should be recorded.
Once a manual recording is started, the recording continues until it is manually stopped.
If an alarm occurs during a manual recording, the alarm recording has priority over the
manual recording. If a scheduled recording is already in progress when a manual
recording is started, it continues to record as scheduled.
You can check to see if a camera is recording manually by looking at the icon on the
live view toolbar. The icon is red when manually recording. Default is off.

Hot Spare
You can set up a spare recorder to act as a slave unit (hot spare) for up to four
TVN 22(P) master units. This slave unit will continually monitor the master units and if
one of the master units should fail, it can then take over recording until the failed unit
comes back online. Once the failed unit is back operating normally again, the slave unit
92
TruVision NVR 22 (SP) User Manual
Chapter 12: Recording
will send its recordings to the HDDs of the recovered unit so that no recordings are
missing.
The hot spare unit can only back up one master unit at a time. If more than one unit
should fail, the hot spare unit will only backup the unit that failed first.
All units must have the same number of channels.
You cannot mix TVN 22 and TVN 22P units.
WARNING: Cameras connected to the TVN 22S as PoE ports cannot be included in a
hot spare function.
In order to have the failover functionality working properly, the following points must be
taken into account:
•
A stable network connection is required
•
There must be at least 10 Mbps of unallocated bandwidth available with the main
recorder. The main and failover recorders must have equal camera counts
•
Ideally the failover recorder must have equal storage capacity to the main recorder
to accommodate for long outage times of the main recorder.
To set up a hot spare recorder:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Recording > Hot Spare.
2. First set up the master recorders.
For each master recorder, select the Normal Mode check box and Enable. Enter
the IP address and password for each recorder.

SD card recording
Recording is normally done on the local HDD of the recorder. However, when there is a
communication problem between the camera and the recorder (for example, the link
fails), the images from the camera cannot be stored on the recorder HDD. Instead they
can be recorded on the internal SD memory card in the camera. The camera must still
be operational and connected to the network.
Note: This SD recording option is only available when the camera is equipped with an
SD card.
The recording on the SD card starts with the pre-event image memory buffer 15
seconds in advance (default pre-event time is 15 s) and it continues until the connection
is re-established. The recording also includes the post-event time image memory buffer
(default post-event time is 10 s). Post-event is the time of the image memory buffer
length after re-establishing the connection between the camera and the recorder.
When the connection between recorder and camera is re-established, the recorded
images on the SD memory card are automatically copied to the recorder and stored on
the HDD. The recorded images are inserted where the recorder stopped recording.
Consequently, in playback mode, there are no missing or lost images.
When you play back the recordings directly from the SD card, they are marked as
“Schedule” in the camera recording. See Figure 27 below.
Figure 27: SD card image recording in playback
Prior to setting up the SD recording function, the SD card must be installed and
initialized (formatted) in the camera. No further setup is required in the camera as the
recorder takes control of the camera.

following alarm types to the recorder:
An arming event
A disarming event
An alarm event that has an “A” as a second character in the SIA/XSIA code
A heartbeat alarm
In the intrusion panel, set up the recorder as a normal monitoring station. Use OH

Port forwarding information
A router is a device that lets you share your internet connection between multiple
computers. Most routers will not allow incoming traffic to the device unless you have
configured them to forward the necessary ports to that device. By default our software
and recorders require the following ports to be forwarded:
Note: Port forwarding may reduce the security of the computers on your network.
Please contact your network administrator or a qualified network technician for further
information.
Port: 80
HTTP protocol
Used to connect via IE browser.
Port: 8000
Client Software Port
Used to connect to video streams.
Port: 554
RTSP Port
Real time streaming protocol.
Used to record video remotely.
Port: 1024
RTSP Port for 3G/4G
Use with mobile apps.
Used for 3G/4G connection.
Note: It is recommended that the RTSP port 1024 should only be used when
experiencing connection issues over a 3G/4G connection.
